Desperate times calls for desperate measures

“Hey, look. Masks do keep you from touching your face!” (Amazon screenshot image)

That dog WILL hunt….for Oreos, for chips, for beer…for toilet paper….

Wonder if dogs will demand reciprocity: you know, demanding a swap of “ride along only” dog tag licenses for those with vehicle driving rights.

You can hear it now. “What, Officer? You didn’t stop that car over there with the German Shepherd at the wheel…”

One can only hope that the tale doesn’t end up wagging the dog.

Making no attempt to mask her feelings, Molly Malamute sniffed and walked away insulted. Don’t even think about trotting this charade out as a substitution for doggy socialization.

“No woof!” The cat is hiding her head behind her paws in absolute horror and shame at the very thought….

And now a little bark along:

• “People teach their dogs to sit; it’s a trick. I’ve been sitting my whole life, and a dog has never looked at me as though he thought I was tricky.” (American comedian Mitch Hedberg)
• “When a child is locked in the bathroom with water running and he says he’s doing nothing but the dog is barking, call 911.” (Erma Bombeck, American author and journalist)

“She had blue skin,
And so did he.
He kept it hid
And so did she.
They searched for blue
Their whole life through,
Then passed right by-
And never knew.”

(Shel Silverstein, American poet and illustrator. Every Thing on it.)
