Once in a while we get a cute story or one that touches our hearts that we feel other pet lovers would appreciate. With all the sad things we see, it's nice to read something that lifts our pet-spirits. We thought it would be nice to share some of these with our fellow pet lovers!
If you have a funny, interesting or "touch your heart" kind of story that you think will put a smile on the faces of others like yourself, feel free to send them to us and we'll see about getting your contribution posted on our web site. Please include the author information if you have it.
It's important to mention that we do not always know who the author of an article might be. We do not take credit for the writing of any of these stories unless it's specifically noted. When the author is known, we will give credit where credit is due. If no author is indicated, please understand that we just do not have the author's information but we thank them for their creativity. We will always give credit to an author if he or she is known.
For your convenience, you'll find a link to the PDF version at the bottom of each story so that you can view or print it.
House Rules for Pets |

Dear Dogs and Cats:
The dishes with the paw prints are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note, placing a paw print in the middle of my plate and food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.
The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Beating me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help because I fall faster than you can run.
I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort. Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other stretched out to the fullest extent possible I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out the other end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm.
For the last time, there is no secret exit from the bathroom. If by some miracle I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, meow, try to turn the knob or get your paw under the edge and try to pull the door open. I must exit through the same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years --canine or feline attendance is not required.
The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough!
To pacify you, my dear pets, I have posted the following message on our front door:
To All Non-Pet Owners Who Visit & Like to Complain About Our Pets:
- 1. They live here. You don't.
- 2. If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. That's why they call it "fur"niture.
- 3. I like my pets a lot better than I like most people.
- 4. To you, they are an animal. To me, he/she is an adopted son/daughter who is short, hairy, walks on all fours and doesn't speak clearly.
Remember: Dogs and cats are better than kids because they:
- 1. Eat less
- 2. Don't ask for money all the time
- 3. Are easier to train
- 4. Normally come when called
- 5. Never ask to drive the car
- 6. Don't hang out with drug-using friends
- 7. Don't smoke or drink
- 8. Don't have to buy the latest fashions
- 9. Don't want to wear your clothes
- 10. Don't need a gazillion dollars for college, and...
- 11. If they get pregnant, you can sell their children
