I think we had one of these posted for cats but I don't remember seeing Rules for Dogs so here they are:
Things I must remember as a dog (in order to keep my present living
arrangements):
1. The garbage collector is not stealing our stuff.
2. I do not need to suddenly stand straight up when I'm lying under the
coffee table.
3. I will not roll my toys behind the fridge, behind the sofa or under the
bed.
4. I must shake the rainwater out of my fur before entering the house.
5. I will not eat the cats' food, before they eat it or after they throw it
up.
6. I will stop trying to find the few remaining pieces of clean carpet in
the house when I am about to get sick.
7. I will not throw up in the car.
8. I will not roll on dead seagulls, fish, crabs, etc. just because I like
the way they smell.
9. I will not munch on "leftovers" in the kitty litter box; although they
are tasty, they are not food.
10. I will not eat any more Kleenex or napkins and then redeposit them in
the backyard after processing.
11. The diaper pail is not a cookie jar.
12. I will not chew my humans' toothbrushes and not tell them.
13. I will not chew crayons or pens, especially not the red ones, or my
people will think I am hemorrhaging.
14. When in the car, I will not insist on having the window rolled down
when it's raining outside.
15. We do not have a doorbell. I will not bark each time I hear one on TV.
16. I will not steal my mom's thong underwear and dance all over the
backyard with them.
17. The sofa is not a face towel. Neither are mom & dad's laps.
18. My head does not belong in the refrigerator.
19. I will not bite the officer's hand when he reaches in for mom's
driver's license and car registration.
20. I will not play tug-of-war with dad's underwear when he's on the
toilet.
21. I will not eat mint flavored dental floss out of the bathroom garbage;
I do not want a string hanging out of my butt.
22. I will not roll around in the dirt right after just getting a bath.
23. Sticking my nose into someone's crotch is not an acceptable way of
saying hello.
24. I will not hump on any person's leg just because I thought they needed
a good hump.
25. I will not fart in my owners' faces while sleeping on the pillow next
to their head.
26. I will not come in from outside and immediately drag my butt across the
carpet.
27. The toilet bowl is not a never ending water supply and, just because
the water is blue, it doesn't mean it is cleaner.
28. I will not sit in the middle of the living room and lick my crotch when
company is over.
29. I will remember that suddenly turning around and smelling my butt can
quickly clear a room.
30. The cat is not a squeaky toy so when I play with him and he makes that
noise, it's usually not a good thing.
