Jett Greyhound = Bed Hog

New Years Resolutions from the Dog

–Whine, whine, whine…it drives her nuts.

–Pay more attention to fallen cactus to avoid owies on the walk.

–Hog the bed; stretch & spread out; hog the covers.

–Stretch out on the couch in such a way where there’s no room for her or the other dog.

–Reserve kisses for her only after making a public display of licking my butt or burping.

–Counter surf more discreetly.

–Bark aggressively while on our walk when she stops to talk to the neighbors.

–Have my way with the roll of toilet paper. Drag and decorate DIY style throughout the house. Martha Stewart would be proud.

–Appear semi interested when she talks to me even though she is only talking to herself a lot.

–Greet strangers with gusto. (Notice ME!)

–Try to understand that cats are from Venus and I am from Mars.

–Eat more C.O.O.K.I.E.S.

–Guard the house (and mean it).

–Wag more, bark less.

–Give you more unconditional love than last year.

–Be a good boy…well, maybe, perhaps, we’ll see…

    Wow, a lot of good resolutions from a resolute dog. As a human, I could barely come up with three: http://tucsoncitizen.com/community/2012/12/31/happy-new-yearfeliz-ano-nuevo-2013/

      Those are good resolutions but I already think of you as kind/compassionate. I would like to see the end of live dog racing in South Tucson in 2013.

    Love your slant of looking at life and it comes through in your writing. LOL for the resolutions; they are a slice of life.
