If People Were More Like Dogs...

Dog_small We would all know exactly how everybody felt, all the time.

Growling would be a socially acceptable response to annoying behavior.

Frisbee would be considered the sport of champions.

We would all go running every day.

We would all own closets full of tennis balls, but nobody would play tennis.

We would all have beds in every room of the house... and in the office... and in public lobbies.

We would all run to the door to greet every family member whenever they came home.

There would be no such thing as prisons--all unacceptable behavior would be dealt with immediately.

We would never do anything that wasn't any fun.

Every business would be a family business.

There would be no such thing as strip clubs, but restaurants would be open all night long.

No one could be a drug dealer because everyone could smell them from a mile away.

There would be no such thing as cities because nobody would ever leave farm country.

We'd all save water because taking a bath wouldn't be quite as much fun as sploshing about in muddy, smelly puddles! --Contributed by Michelle from the land "down under."

The area around the local dump would be considered prime real estate. --Me. Inspired by Michelle's comment, I just thought of that one.

Deb:

We need to take some 'pointers' from
our furry friends.

I have always thought it was no accident
that DOG spelled backwards is GOD. ;)

Our CRAZY - loveable
Jack Russell terrier

EM:

Oooooooohhhhhhh, Deb. "Pointers"? That's awful - I love it! :)

Jake thinks he's a Jedi. I catch him staring at me all the time, trying to use his Jedi mind tricks on me for snacks! But if Jake were God, he'd have chosen a human who lived a lot closer to a garbage dump. ;)
