Our dogs thought of the litter box as the Cat Box Cafe.

The dogs in my neighborhood don’t eat poop because their owners are carrying it around in a plastic bag.

The dogs in my neighborhood have taken to mugging the owners for their little plastic bags.

“I shake my head every time I see it. How does a guy holding a bag of dog feces look cool if he stops to talk to a good looking woman?”

Buford, the Coon Hound is a chic magnet! I find that they actually think it is endearing......

“Awww, look at the cute dog! That guy is such a caring man!”

Of course, one must be willing to put up with the extra attention....

Well isn’t it Bush’s fault that queers can’t get married in all 57 states? Or is that due to the tortoises also eating vermillion snail darters and spotted owls which was caused by the Catholic Church?

Ready to spew? Damn, I think that’s funny as hell.
My girl Mastiff found and rolled in a dead skunk, talk about run for your life!
Took 2 weeks to get most of the stink off her with Head and Shoulders, and about a month of cleaning to get the stink out of the house.
Glad I have a strong stomach.

"Damn; I hope that is just a joke"

And I would love to be able to tell you that it is.

Unfortunately I am completely incapable of joking, having had my sense of humor surgically removed a number of years asgo.

The operation (a total funnybonectomy) was long and the recovery was quite painful. Since then, I have attempted therapy in the form of memorizing simple jokes.

This has proven problematic however. I now require friends to explain the jokes I tell to me in as much as I no longer "get it."

Still, I keep trying in the hope that progress will be made if I shtick to it.

My dog eats people’s $hit and it is the grossest infuriated dog event short of violent dog death. A condition I had to restrain from rendering!

That’s what I was told. The mother cleans the pups so they will poop/pee. The pups get the smell of poop from the mother cleaning them and they grow up liking poop.
