your dog's new year resolutions

  • I will not play tug-of-war with Dad's underwear when he's on the toilet.

  • The garbage collector is NOT stealing our stuff.

  • I do not need to suddenly stand straight up when I'm lying under the coffee table.

  • I will not roll my toys behind the fridge.

  • I must shake the rainwater out of my fur BEFORE entering the house.

  • I will not eat the cats' food, before, or after, they eat it.

  • I will stop trying to find the few remaining pieces of carpet in the house when I am about to throw up.

  • I will not throw up in the car.

  • I will not roll on dead seagulls, fish, crabs, etc.

  • The litter box is not a cookie jar.

  • I will not wake up Mommy by putting my cold, wet nose up her bottom end.

  • I will not chew my human's toothbrush and not tell them.

  • I will not chew crayons or pens, especially not the red ones, or my people will think that I am hemorrhaging.

  • When in the car, I will not insist on having the window rolled down when it's raining outside.

  • I will not drop soggy tennis balls in the underwear of someone who is sitting on the toilet.

  • We do not have a doorbell. Therefore, I will not bark each time I hear one on the television.

  • I will not steal my Mom's underwear and dance all over the back yard with them.

  • The sofa is not a face towel. Neither are Mom & Dad's laps.

  • My head does not belong in the refrigerator.

  • I will not bite the officer's hand when he reaches in for Mom's driver's license and car registration.
