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?

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...
