House Rules for Dogs and Cats. Post them where they can be read by your pets.

Dear Dogs and Cats,


The dishes with the paw print belong to you and contain your food. The rest of the dishes belong to me and contain my food.

Please note, if you put a paw print in the middle of my plate or food, that does not stake a claim for it. It is still mine. I also do not find it aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.

NASCAR did not design the stairway. It is not a racetrack. Trying to beat me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me will not help you win because I will fall faster than you can run.

A king-sized bed is the largest that is made. I cannot get anything bigger. I am sorry about this. Do not expect me to continue to sleep on the couch to ensure your comfort.

Dogs and cats are capable of curling into a ball when they sleep. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular next to each other and stretched out to the fullest extent possible.

Sticking your tail out straight and hanging your tongue out the other end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm.

For the last time, there is no secret exit from the bathroom. If by some miracle I manage to beat you there and get the door shut, it is not necessary to whine, meow, claw, try to turn to doorknob, or squeeze your paw under the door to try to pull it open. I have to exit through the same door I entered.

Also, I have been using the bathroom for many years -- feline or canine attendance is not required.

Oh Barb, that was just great. We have 2 dogs and some of that was just right-on. Our youngest dog (4) was just putting his paws up on the table, trying to get leftover breakfast food. He knows he's not supposed to, he just doesn't care - he's sneaky, too, I only caught him because I came quietly into the room.
The racing down the stairs thing was funny -- Both of our dogs will race to the door & pretty much block it when they want you to let them out, which always makes me laugh, because if I can't get to the door, they can't get out!

Too funny. You are so spot on with those things too.
