DEAR DOGS,
1) When I say move, it means go someplace else, not switch positions with each other so there are still four of you in the way.

2) The dishes with the paw print design 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, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.

3) The stairway is not a racetrack. Beating me to the bottom is not the object. Nor does tripping me help because I can fall faster than you can run.

4) 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 sleeping. They can actually curl up in a ball.

5) 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 maximize space used is nothing but sarcasm.

6) 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, bark, try to turn the k**b or get your paw under the edge and try to pull the door open. I must exit through the same door I used to enter. In addition, I have been using bathrooms for years; canine attendance is not mandatory.

7) The proper order is: 1) kiss me, 2) lick your butt.
I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH!
