Rules for Non-Pet Owners Who Visit
Our Rules for Non-Pet Owners Who Visit and 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. 3. I like my pet a lot better than I like most people. 4. To you, it's an animal. To me, he/she is a little son or daughter who is short, hairy, walks on all fours and doesn't speak clearly. 5. Dogs and cats are better than kids. They eat less, don't ask for money all the time, are easier to train, usually come when called, never drive your car, don't hang out with questionable friends, don't smoke or drink, don't worry about buying the latest fashions, don't wear your clothes, don't need a gazillion dollars for college, and if they get pregnant, you can sell the results. |

| LOL.... I like your post....
but it`s so true... I have a freind that used to ask me to put Pisco "away" when he was here...I said no way! he is used to running around I won`t do that...you want to come....He`s family, you are a friend.... He got the picture....now he doesn`t tell me anything....and PIsco seems to know because he won`t go near him ...even when he calls him |
I read this post as I was listening to my 4 year old (who I love very much) wining about something.Sometimes I tell my husband No more Kids only dogs they are so much easier to train.Ha Ha I actually belive we can learn how to guild our kids by watching and teaching our pets.I think the basic principles aply to both- love love and puppy chow or kid chow.  |
That is really cute. We reffer to our kids as Drakes "litter mates" and I am mom and my hubby is dad to Drake. Putting Drake away for someone would be like someone telling me to put one of my kids away.  I really do not think Drake even knows he is a Dog he acts so much like my kids. Also, if you come into my house you have to pet Drake or he gets his feelings hurt and will pout. He has not met a person or dog he does not like.  By the way my eye is totaly healed now |
| Both of my kids had friends who supposedly were afraid of dogs and would ask us to put Ben away before they would come in the house. Not because Ben ever did anything to them, they just didn't want to be bothered trying to avoid our big beast. We refused and the kids all came anyway. Now Ben knows that they'll pet him and he doesn't want to leave them alone when they all come over. He always has a big smile on his face - we're sure Ben thinks the kids are there to visit him. What a hairy nut! |
| I loved it too! Thanks!
I always think of the saying "Love me , Love my dog". |
Great isn't it  I've got it up on my wall so all my non doggy visitor's can read it as they come to the house. |
| I guess I am not feeling too well, but somehow #5 on that list just sounds WRONG.
I have 3 children. 21, 13, and 8. None of them drinks, smokes, or does anything like nuzzle a persons privates or sticks their nose where it doesn't belong. I like my children. I like Abbi, but she is my DOG. She runs and plays and poops. My girls run and play; even flush most times!
#1-4 were great! |
| Dear pet owner, Please control your pet when I get there to help you out. I don't live there; if I did, it would smell nicer. It's not that I'm worried about sitting on your furniture, it's a matter of having to wipe my feet before I go out in order to keep the crap off my car floor. I don't like you at all, if you didn't pay me to be there, I'd never knock on your door. I can see how you can get confused about your brats and carpet furtilisers, there isn't much difference |

What a shame  . I "control" my dogs the few times I have to have a repairman here for anything. Quite frankly, I only want them exposed to people who appreciate dogs. As for the "smell" of my house????? I've had to use a can of Lysol many more times when someone has left my house due to human body odor than I have ever had to use an air freshner where my dogs are concerned. |

I'm sorry that you don't "get" it. Rule 3 applies to you! |

I don't like them at all either!!!!  and all the folks that were asked to come to my home loved my dogs and comented on how well behaved they were. My house does not smell and my floors are clean so what planet are you on???? |
Ya know, we here at OES.ORG must all be pretty awesome if a guest determined to be rude has to dig up a tongue-in-cheek post from *2004* in order to have something to take a poke at!  |

Shaggy's Mom wrote: I saw this on another site I go on and thought I'd post it here - I thought it was cute (and so true!). I especially agree with No. 4, whenever I'm talking about Shaggy to my daughter, he is referred to as "your brother". Our Rules for Non-Pet Owners Who Visit and 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. 3. I like my pet a lot better than I like most people. 4. To you, it's an animal.

I like these but maybe a few finer tweaks for here at Chateau Lindon: 1. They live here. You don't and more importatnly you aren't quaified to. 2. If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off their furniture. 3. The only people I love as much as my furkids are my wife, my mom, my dad and my brother. Nobody else who is not a "dog person" counts so if you are not one of these can you figure out your place in my life's hierarchy? 4. These ARE our sons and daughters who just happen to walk on all fours, are hairier than most kids and have yet to learn to speak english as a second language. And for the most part they are cleaner and far better behaved than your two footed upright monsters. 5. Dogs and cats are better than two footed upright kids. If they are upset there is a reason, address the reason and they behave again. They eat less and eat better food, when they need money spent on them it is for legitimate needs, they respond to training, don't back-chat as much as two footers and ultimately do as they are told, they never sulk when I shoo them from the car's drivers seat, only hang out with parent-approved friends, don't smoke or drink, happily settle for the clothes I buy them (winter coats and boots and a bit of bling for the pretty girl), don't need a gazillion dollars for college, and they only get preganant with mommy and daddy's approval and matchmaking wisdom. Yes I do in fact love my Bobtails and other furkids as much as anyone else in my life and far more than most. And unlike most people on the face of this earth they have more than earned my love and devotion just by being their own honest, trustworthy and loving selves without personal agendas or vendettas. Thanks and Cheers Carl |
