With
more than two million Australian households owning a dog,
it is no wonder that some of these pets end up sleeping on
family beds. The bond formed between a dog and it’s owner
is so strong that many people choose to keep the dog
nearby at night, rather than send Rover away to his own
bed.
Dr Peter Higgins spokesman for
Dogs NSW says, “let sleeping dogs lie”. “If you are
comfortable with the idea of your dog sleeping on your
bed, and basic hygiene is followed there is no reason to
change a thing,” he said“. Basic hygiene means regular
bathing, brushing and teeth cleaning.
It is a good idea to encourage walking before bed, to
minimise accidents during the night.”
The bed in the
bedroom is the most comfortable and desirable place for
sleeping in the house and it is important that humans
establish themselves as the pack leaders.
If a dog challenges for authority, it is best to put a
stop to it at once. The dog should be removed from the bed
or the room.
Despite the possible difficulties
with behaviour, most dog owners love their pets and enjoy
the cuddle and comfort at night time. "Always T" has two
pugs and loves having one of them on her bed at night. “I
would be cold and lonely without my Jimmy beside me,” she
said.“he
makes me feel loved and I sleep better knowing that he is
here with me.” Health concerns about dogs sleeping on the
bed with their owner have been exaggerated according to
Dr Higgins. “Dogs carry very few diseases that are
transmissible to humans,” he said. “That is a scientific
fact.” “You would have more chance of catching something
from a person coughing or sneezing.” “The big debate of
course is, does your four legged friend sleep on top or
under the covers?”Dogs can be a big reassurance for deep
sleepers. A dog can hear noises while his owner is
asleep.This is a refreshing support for some dog owners,
who are prepared to share their warm bedroom to achieve a
secure night’s sleep. Many Australian households find more
peace when the family dog assumes his place on a family
member’s bed, and provides all the comfort and goodwill
that comes with being man's best friend.

TO: GOD
FROM: THE DOG LEO,
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?
We do love a nice ride! 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. 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. Dear God:
When I get to Heaven may I have my testicles back?

Hints Or bad news!

From a Cat's Daily Diary....
Day 983 of my captivity...
My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little
dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while
the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry
nuggets.
Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly
clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep
up my strength.
The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape.
In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the
carpet.
Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body
at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into
their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates what I am
capable of. However, they merely made condescending
comments about what a 'good little hunter' I am. Bastards.
There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices
tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the
duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises
and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was
due to the power of 'allergies.' I must learn what this
means and how to use it to my advantage.
Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate
one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was
walking. I must try this again tomorrow, but at the top of
the stairs.
I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies
and snitches. The dog receives special privileges. He is
regularly released - and seems to be more than willing to
return. He is obviously retarded.
The bird has got to be an informant. I observe him
communicating with the guards regularly.
I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors
have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated
cell, so he is safe. For now...
