I must tell you, I "copied" this from another board. I have no idea of who the original author is, but I knew you would enjoy it.
DOG PROPERTY LAWS:

5. If it's mine, it must never appear to be yours in any way.
6. If I'm chewing something up, all the pieces are mine.
7. If it just looks like mine, it's mine.
8. If I saw it first, it's mine.

4. Be aware of when to hold your tongue, and when to use it.
5. Leave room in your schedule for a good nap.

THINGS DOGS HAVE TO REMEMBER:
--The garbage collector is NOT stealing our stuff.
--I do not need to suddenly stand straight up when I'm lying under the coffee table.
--I will not roll my toys behind the fridge.
--I must shake the rainwater out of my fur BEFORE entering the house.
--I will not eat the cats' food.
--I will stop trying to find the few remaining pieces of clean carpet in the house when I am about to throw up.
--I will not roll on dead seagulls, fish, crabs, etc.
--I will not chew my human's toothbrush and not tell them.
--We do not have a doorbell. I will not bark each time I hear one on TV.
--I will not steal my Mom's underwear and dance all over the backyard with it.
--My head does not belong in the refrigerator.
--I will not bite the officer's hand when he reaches in for Mom's driver's license and car registration.

I'll come to sunny CA anytime for a picnic (and spirit lifting, ball throwing, puppy running, flag waving and kite flying).
