Racing me to the bottom is not the  object. Tripping me doesn&#8217;t help because I fall faster than you can  run.<\/p>\n<p>I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed.  I am  very sorry about this.  Do not think I will continue sleeping on the  couch to ensure your comfort, however.  Dogs and cats can actually curl  up in a ball when they sleep.  It Is not necessary to sleep perpendicular  to each other, stretched out to the fullest extent possible.  I also know  that sti cking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out on the other  end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm.<\/p>\n<p>For the last time, there  is no 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, meow, try to  turn the knob or get your paw under the edge in an attempt to open the  door.  I must exit through the same door I entered.  Also, I have  been using the bathroom for years &#8211; canine\/feline attendance is not  required.<\/p>\n<p>The proper order for kissing is:  Kiss me first, then go  smell the other dog or cat&#8217;s butt.  I cannot stress this  enough.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, in fairness, dear pets, I have posted the following  message on the front door:<\/p>\n<p>TO ALL NON-PET OWNERS WHO VISIT AND LIKE  TO COMPLAIN ABOUT OUR PETS:<\/p>\n<p>(1)  They live here.  You  don&#8217;t.  <\/p>\n<p>(2)  If you don&#8217;t want their hair on your clothes,  stay off the furniture.  That &#8217;s why they call it  &#8218;fur&#8216;-niture.<\/p>\n<p>(3)  I like my pets a lot better than I like most  people.  <\/p>\n<p>(4)  To you, they are animals.  To me, they  are adopted sons\/daughters who are short, hairy, walk on all fours and don&#8217;t  speak clearly.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, dogs and cats are better than kids because  they:<\/p>\n<p>(1) eat less,<\/p>\n<p>(2) don&#8217;t ask for money all the  time,<\/p>\n<p>(3) are easier to train,<\/p>\n<p>(4) normally come when  called,<\/p>\n<p>(5) never ask to drive the car,<\/p>\n<p>(6) don&#8217;t hang out with  drug-using people;<\/p>\n<p>(7) don&#8217;t smoke or drink,<\/p>\n<p>(8) don&#8217;t want to  wear your clothes,<\/p>\n<p>(9) don&#8217;t have to buy the latest  fashions,<\/p>\n<p>(10) don&#8217;t need a gazillion dollars for college  and<\/p>\n<p>(11) best of all &#8211; if they get pregnant, you can sell their  children &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The following was found posted very low on a refrigerator door.
