Paw It Forward

We're playing a game with our friend Mason Dixie at Who Says Dogs Don't Blog. We are exchanging a simple act of kindness based on the "Pay It Forward" idea - an exchange that focuses on doing an act of kindness without expecting anything in return other than that the recipient will, in their turn, pass the kindness along and "Pay It Forward" in their own way. The name has been changed along the way to "Paw It Forward". We like that a lot better.

Would you like to play?

So, here's the deal. If you would like to Paw It Forward, leave a comment on this post stating you would like to play. You have until midnight Wednesday, Feb. 4, EST to make a post. After that, Oscar "The Nose" will pick three lucky winners. (It was the best idea of choosing randomly the winners). We will email you that you have won and get your address at that point. We will send the winners something fun, inspiring or uplifting.

Here's the catch. The winners must agree to play along through your blog. There are no cost restraints, but it is a SIMPLE act if kindness so don't go crazy! Any act of kindness is wonderful! (and that doesn't have to be anything that is costly). There are untold ways to help others every single day!

We are so excited to "Paw It Forward"!!! Get your posts in!

Memo To God

MEMO TO: GOD

FROM:  THE DOG

Dear God:  Is it on purpose our
 names are the
 same, only reversed?

Dear God:  Why do humans
 smell the flowers, but seldom,
 if ever, smell one another?

Dear God:  When we get to heaven,
 can we sit on your couch?
 Or is it still the same old story?

Dear God:  Why are there cars named after the jaguar,
 the cougar, the mustang, the colt, the stingray,
 and the rabbit, but not ONE named for a Dog?
 How often do you see a cougar riding around?
 Would it be so hard to rename the 'Chrysler Eagle' the 'Chrysler Beagle'?

Dear God:  If a Dog barks his head off in the forest and no human hears him, is he still a bad Dog?

Dear God:  We Dogs can understand human verbal instructions, hand signals, whistles, horns, clickers, beepers, scent ID's, electromagnetic energy fields, and Frisbee flight paths.  What do humans understand?

Dear God:  More meatballs, less spaghetti, please.

Dear God:  Are there mailmen in Heaven?  If there are, will I have to apologize?

Dear God:  Let me give you a list of just some of the things I must remember to be a good Dog.

1. I will not eat the cats' food before they eat it or after they throw it up.

2. I will not roll on dead seagulls, fish, crabs, etc., just because I like the way they smell.

3. The Litter Box is not a cookie jar.

4. The sofa is not a 'face towel'.

5.  The garbage collector is not stealing our stuff.

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

7.  Sticking my nose into someone's crotch is an unacceptable way of saying 'hello'.

8. I don't need to suddenly stand straight up when I'm under the coffee table .

9. I must shake the rainwater out of my fur before entering the house - not after.

10. I will not come in from outside and immediately drag my butt.

11. I will not sit in the middle of the living room and lick my crotch.

12.  The cat is not a 'squeaky toy' so when I play with him and he makes that noise, it's usually not a good thing.

P.S.  When I get to Heaven may I have my testicles back?

Monday Funnies

Posting this picture is a pay-back for having to live
with the awful smells he emitted on Friday!
