Dear God: Is it on purpose our names are the same, only reversed?
Why do humans smell the flowers, but seldom, if ever
smell one another.
When we get to heaven, can we sit on your couch?
Or is it still the same old story?
If a dog barks his head off in the forest and no human
hears him, is he still a bad dog?
We dogs can understand human verbal instructions,
hand signals, whistles, horns, clickers, beepers,
scent ID's, electromagnetic energy fields,
and Frisbee flights paths. What do humans
understand?
More meatballs, less spaghetti, please.
Are there mailmen in Heaven? If there are, will I
have to apologize?
Dear God I promise: I will not eat the cats' food before they eat it or
after they throw it up.
I will not roll on dead seagulls, fish, crabs or poop,
just because I like the way it smells.
The litter box is not a cookie jar and the sofa is not a
'face towel'.
The garbage collector is not stealing our stuff.
I will not play tug-of-war with Dad's underwear
when he is on the toilet.
Sticking my nose into someone's crotch is an
unacceptable way of saying 'hello'.
I must shake the rainwater out of my fur before
entering the house~not after.
I will not come in from outside and immediately
drag my butt.
I will not sit in the middle of the living room and
lick my crotch.
The cat is not a 'squeaky toy' so when I play
with him and he makes that noise, it's
usually not a good thing.
P.S. Dear God when I get to Heaven may I have my testicles back?
