I was out on the dog path sometimes called the Internet when I came across a very humorous set of rules which could rightly be called the Evolution of Dog Rules. I’m re-blogging part of it below.

DOG RULES

1. The dog is not allowed in the house.

2. OK, the dog is allowed in the house, but only in certain rooms.

3. The dog is allowed in all rooms, but has to stay off the furniture.

4. The dog can get on the old furniture only.

5. Fine, the dog is allowed on all the furniture, but is not allowed
to sleep with the humans on the bed.

6. OK, the dog is allowed on the bed, but only by invitation.

7. The dog can sleep on the bed whenever he wants, but not
under the covers.

8. The dog can sleep under the covers by invitation only.

9. The dog can sleep under the covers every night.

10.Humans must ask permission to sleep under the covers
with the dog.

How great are those rules? Next we will have to ask if we can leave the house to make the money to feed the dog…Oh wait, don’t we already have to do that.. note I have no attribution for these rules and would love to let people know who wrote it.

Dog Play or what can I do with my dog that we both like? Dogs being the unconditional loving creatures they are love just being with us and taking part in whatever activity we are engaging in at the moment. But and this is a big but sometimes we humans want a change in play time, a change in the routine it is so easy to get into. So I thought I would list some websites that have tons of ideas of different things to do. As the first website says ” people who play with their dog, stay with their dog.”

1. The first site is entitled Dog Play and has an exhaustive list of things to do and places to go to find even more things to do and places to go. Whew I even get tired looking at the list.
2. The second site is entitled Dog Fun Directory and is a Dog Park listing for all 50 states and a few countries outside of the US, it is extensive yet and a great starting point to find Dog Parks, if you find one missing I suggest you email the site owner with an update.
3. This third and last site has an article for having fun with your dog when there is no way you can go outside. Some of them seem a little silly but hey better silly then bored.
