Dear Dogs and Cats,

The dishes with the paw print are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note, placing a paw print in the middle of my plate of food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.

The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Beating me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help because I fall faster than you can run.

I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed. I am very sorry about this.
Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort.
Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out the other end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm.

For the last time, there is not a secret exit from the bathroom. If by some miracle I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, meow, try to turn the knob or get your paw under the edge and try to pull the door open. I must exit through the same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years -- canine or feline attendance is not required.

The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough!

To pacify you, my dear pets, I have posted the following message on our front door:

To All Non-Pet Owners Who Visit & Like to Complain About Our Pets:

1. They live here. You don't.
2. If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. (That's why they call it 'fur'-niture.)
3. I like my pets a lot better than I like most people.
4. To you, it's an animal. To me, he/she is an adopted son/daughter who is short, hairy, walks on all fours and doesn't speak clearly.

Remember: In many ways, dogs and cats are better than kids because they:
1. Eat less.
2. Don't ask for money all the time.
3. Are easier to train.
4. Normally come when called.
5. Never ask to drive the car.
6. Don't hang out with drug-using friends.
7. Don't smoke or drink.
8. Don't have to buy the latest fashions.
9. Don't want to wear your clothes.
10. Don't need a 'gazillion' dollars for college.

And finally,
11. If they get pregnant, you can sell their children.

:XD: :XD: :XD: :XD:

Ditter, you are one crazy person! I almost fell off my chair laughing. I have to send this to my sister. The cats and dogs have totally taken over their house! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Oh I like the sell the children part! LOL thank you for posting these!!

I have actually told my mom the cat lives here you don't!!

I love this, absolutely love this! I think I put this up where directed!

I like most of your jokes, but this one takes the cake! It is fantastic - I read it to the cat and the dog but they just looked at me as I were nuts, and went about their business as usual, ignoring all I said to them.

I wish someone would tell my poodle in poodle talk:

I wish they would also tell her:

3. Are easier to train.

Classic Ditter! Our kids constantly complain the dogs and cats are spoiled and they get better treatment than they do.

My 8 yr old DGD Rachel decided this morning that she needs to learn to speak Dog. So she said she would come back after she learns it and tell me all my dogs are saying. so I will pass her on to you all and then she can tell your fur babies all this! LOL LOL
