How Many Dogs Does It Take to Change A Light Bulb? - Submitted by Alison Barker


We asked some patients to see if we could find out. Here are their responses:

·         Golden Retriever: "The sun is shining, the day is young, we've got our whole lives ahead of us, and you're inside worrying about a stupid burned out bulb?"

·         Border Collie: "Just one. And then I'll replace any wiring that's not up to code."

·         Dachshund: "You know I can’t reach that stupid light."

·         Rottweiler: "Make me."

·         Boxer: "Who cares? I can still play with my squeaky toys in the dark."

·         Lab: "Oh, me, me!!!!! Pleeeeeeeeeze let me change the light bulb! Can I? Can I? Huh? Huh? Huh? Can I? Pleeeeeeeeeze, please, please, please!"

·         German Shepherd: "I'll change it as soon as I've led these people from the dark, check to make sure I haven't missed any, and make just one more perimeter patrol to see that no one has tried to take advantage of the situation."

·         Jack Russell Terrier: "I’ll just pop it in while I'm bouncing off the walls and furniture."

·         Old English Sheep Dog: "Light bulb? I'm sorry, but where's the light?

·         Chihuahua: Yo quiero Taco Bulb.

·         Pointer: "I see it, there it is, there it is, right there.

·         Greyhound: It isn't moving. Who cares?"

·         Kelpie: "First, I'll put all the light bulbs in a little circle…."

·         Poodle: "I'll just blow in the Border Collie's ear and he'll do it. By the time he finishes rewiring the house, my nails will be dry and my owner will have my dinner ready."

·         The Cat's Answer: "People change light bulbs. So, the real question is: How long will it be before I can expect some light, some dinner, and a massage?"

 

A Letter To All Cats and Dogs – Submitted by Jenny, one of our clients

 

Dear Cats and Dogs,

 

When I say to move, it means go someplace else, not switch positions with each other so there are still two of you in the way.

 

The dishes with the paw print are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note, placing a paw print in the middle of my plate of food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest!

 

The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Beating me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn’t help, because I fall faster than you can run.

 

I cannot buy anything bigger than a king size bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue to sleep on the couch to ensure your comfort. Look at videos of dogs and cats sleeping, they can actually curl up in a ball. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other, stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out the other end to maximise space used is nothing but sarcasm.

 

For the last time, there is not a secret exit from the bathroom. If by some miracle I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, and try to turn the knob, or get your paw under the edge and try to pull the door open. I must exit through the same door I entered. In addition, I have been using bathrooms for years. Feline or canine attendance is not mandatory!

 

The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other cat or dogs’ butt. I cannot stress this enough. It would be such a simple change for you.

 

To pacify you, I have posted the following message on our front door...

 

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 an adopted son/daughter who is hairy, walks on all fours and is clearly better looking than your human variety kids.

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 drug-using friends, don’t smoke or drink, don’t worry about buying the latest fashions, and if they get pregnant, you can sell the offspring.

Humour - The Guard Dog

 

A man who wanted a dog to protect his business visited a kennel that specialised in guard dogs. The man explained to the kennel owner that he wanted the biggest, meanest, most vicious dog in the kennel.

 

After they had been walking for a few minutes, they came upon a large dog, snarling loudly, and biting and clawing at the cage.

“He looks like he’d be a pretty good guard dog,” said the buyer.

“Well he’s not bad,” replied the owner, “but I have a different one in mind for you.”

 

They continued walking around the kennels, and they came across an even larger and meaner dog than the first. He snarled at the two men and tried to bite them through the wire on his cage.

“Ah,” said the buyer. “This must be the dog you were referring to earlier.”

“Well, no,” said the owner. “I have something better in mind for you.”

 

The men continued their tour. Eventually, they came upon a large dog, panting heavily and lying quietly on his side. He seemed unaware of the men’s approach.

“This is the dog I had in mind for you,” said the owner.

The buyer was flabbergasted. “You’re joking!” He exclaimed. “This dog is tame compared to the others. He doesn’t even act like a guard dog!”

“I know he appears tame now,” said the owner. “But you see, he just ate the vet and he’s trying to get the taste out of his mouth.”
