Dog Rules

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

I'm using this opportunity to share something I found on a card in Oregon. I don't know who the author or source is, but the card was published by Dymond Graphics:

Dog Rules

1. The dog is not allowed in the house.
2. Okay, the dog is allowed in the house, but only in certain rooms.
3. The dog is allowed in all rooms, but must stay off the furniture.
4. The dog can get on old furniture only.
5. Fine, the dog is allowed on all the furniture, but is not allowed to sleep with the humans on the bed.
6. Okay, the dog is allowed on the bed, but only by invitation.
7. The dog can sleep on the bed whenever he wants, but not under the covers.
8. The dog can sleep under the covers by invitation only.
9. The dog can sleep under the covers every night.
10. Humans must ask permission to sleep under the covers with the dog.

Had a good laugh at the Dog Rules - our last dog was a Samoyed cross - supposed to be an outdoor dog - well he didn't actually take over the bed, but was very much one of the kids :) Nice shot of dog and friend ! V

I love this capture of Sahraa and Tim, mutual respect I think. The dog rules are great, we are up to 7 hoping we go no further. V

A cute shot and I love the dog rules! Isn't it the truth!?!

Very funny! My wife will love this. Thanks. ~V~

This is terrific, Helen! Sahraa looks like she is reciting the rules to your husband, really great shot and text!

Great shot, greater rules, these rules are the reality in many houses, here in our house we stopped at 4. (with the Shiba Inu) V++++++++++++++++

Fudge, thankfully, has stopped at #5 and now that he's fully grown, prefers to lie on the floor rather than sofas! As for Toffee, I'm surprised he's not enforcing #10.
Looks like Sahraa has Tim at her beck and call!

Lol. I am currently in the process of trying to re-negotiate rule #7. Primarily because I don't like being woken as she does her "walk around in three circles" before lying done routine. And she shakes the bed something fierce when she jumps onto / off.

I love it. Yes this is truly the evolution of the dog rules in our house...
It took only about a year from 1 to 10 :0) V

So true :-)

Big smile - I could have written those words! Cute pic!

humorous set of rules that correctly unmasks the actual relationship...dogs feign obedience and devotion, but really just take over..as for cats, they are total rogues and do whatever they please whenever they want..

A beautiful capture of your pretty dog and I was RFLMBO at the rules. How true. V.
Gary Hudes27-Dec-2013 21:42
Lovely moment captured, Helen. It looks like Sahraa is requesting a rule upgrade! V.

I love this!!! I have to say, it is what happens in my house :-) Sahraa is just adorable. V
Will Hoskins27-Dec-2013 21:05
Those same rules apply to a certain cat I know. I'm sure Sahraa can get anything she wants when she does this. V

Lovely shot and a great narrative. v

I think Charlie and I are at rule # 6 with Della and Fenway. However, I am sure when we are not here they get up on the bed whenever they want! Love this set of rules and this great shot of Tim and Sahraa. V

This is really funny, but sometimes may be not LOL Our dog's rules go only to point 3.
Touching capture of sweet Sahraa and Tim. V.
