Rules for Dog Owners

(approved by Sooty & Zipper)

Sooty as nature intended

I will not bathe my dog after he bathes himself in the mud puddle.

I will not push my dog away when he wants a hug after playing in a mud puddle.

Who could say no?

I will drop what ever I am doing and take my dog out whenever he asks me to.

I will not complain "My arm is tired" after only throwing the stick 20 times.


I will not drag my dog away from the interesting sniffing spots.

I will not tell my dog to hurry up already when he's looking for just the right spot to take care of business.

I will not stare while my dog is doing his business.

I will never eat until my dog has tasted what I have and approved it for me.

I will not hide my dog's ball in a place where I know he couldn't possibly retrieve it from and then ask him to go get it.
