DOGGY DICTIONARY...
BATH: This is a process by which the humans
drench the floor, walls and themselves. You can help by shaking
vigorously and frequently.
BICYCLES: Two-wheeled exercise machines, invented
for dogs to control body fat. To get maximum aerobic benefit, you
must hide behind a bush and dash out, bark loudly and run alongside for
a few yards: the person swerves and falls into the bushes, and you
prance away.
BUMP: The best way to get your human's attention
when they are drinking a fresh cup of coffee or tea.
DEAFNESS: This is the malady that affects dogs
when their person wants them in and they want to stay out.
Symptoms include staring blankly at the person, then running in the
opposite direction, or lying down.
DOG BED: Any soft, clean surface, such as a white
bedspread in the guestroom or the newly upholstered couch in the living
room.
DROOL: Is what you do when your persons have food and
you don't. To do this properly you must sit as close as you can
and look sad and let the drool fall to the floor, or better yet, on
their laps.
GARBAGE CAN: A container that your neighbors put
out once a week to test your ingenuity. You must stand on your
hind legs and try to push the lid off with your nose. If you do it
right you are rewarded with margarine wrappers to shred, beef bones to
consume and moldy crusts of bread.
