The new year will soon be here. It’s called 2007. Humans make a big deal out of this.
When a new year begins they draw a line. This line separates their old stuff from their new stuff.
Old stuff goes. New stuff comes. Dogs should be careful not to laugh about this.
To most humans this is a serious matter.
The Dutch list of stuff to change in the new year looks like this:

Pessimism goes, optimism comes
Microsoft and Bill Gates will have to go, Apple takes over
Hummers are out, hybrid cars are in
String underwear and panties will go, boxer shorts and leggings are back in
Amsterdam is passé, Rotterdam is hip.
Fastfood is out, slowfood is in.

So let’s play along with our humans and make a dog list for 2007:
Showers are out, mud baths are in
Talk is out, walks are in
Sausage shapes are uncool, lean shapes are the thing!
String beans are out, bacon cookies are in.

Feel free to add to this list
And have a good Thursday!
