All dogs use the same simple rule.
If you can't eat it or screw it, pee on it.
Polite dogs only lick it.
From today's Word for the Day..:
"Valorously valorous xsmommy's valorousness shines brightly when she offers Muttly breakfast.
We're dogs you know...so whatever we do or value is food- related. Our tiny psyches are healed after a hearty breakfast, which is why Muttly has been inwardly singing that world-famous song all morning....would you like to hear some of it...well...O.K....if you insist..:
"I love you, a bushel and a peck, a bushel and a peck and a bite upon the neck...a bite upon the neck, and a porkchop what the heck...a porkchop what the heck, and a barrel full of cheese...a barrel full of cheese, and I'm peeing on the trees..I LOVE YOU !"
Ahhhh...what a wonderful day."
And when they smell around mailboxes and hydrants they are just checking their p-mail
There's probably more people that go by that rule.
The more people I meet, the more I like my dog.
