"Rambunctious, rumbustious, delinquent dogs become angelic when sitting."
"A dog is not 'almost human', and I know of no greater insult to the canine race than to describe it as such."
"In the world which we know, among the different and primitive geniuses that preside over the evolution of the several species, there exists not one, excepting that of the dog, that ever gave a thought to the presence of man."

Here are some pointers for you, for a safer and happier life in our home.
When I say to move, it means go someplace else, not switch positions with each other so there are still two dogs in the way.
The dishes with the paw prints are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note, placing a paw in the middle of my plate and food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.
The Kitchen doorway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack finish line. Beating me to the fridge 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'm 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. 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 doggy sarcasm.
My compact discs are not miniature Frisbees.
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, 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 and canine attendance is not mandatory.
The proper order is kiss me, then go smell other dog's butts. I cannot stress this enough. It would be such a simple change for you guys to make.
Regards,
Mum
