2012 New Year’s Resolutions for Dogs

by Mary on January 14, 2012 · 0 comments

Dog New Year's ResolutionMy dogs, Sadie Lu and Sally Mae, didn’t do too well with their New Year’s resolutions last year. So, I’m posting them again for 2012 in hopes that they will try a little harder this year.

New Year’s resolutions for dogs:

  • I will stop trying to find the few remaining clean pieces of carpet in the house when I am about to throw up.
  • I will not eat other animals’ poop.
  • I will not lick my human’s face after eating animal poop.
  • I will not eat any more socks and then re-deposit them in the backyard after processing.
  • When in the car, I will not insist on having the window rolled down when it’s raining outside.
  • I will not bark each time I hear a door bell on TV.
  • I will not steal Mom’s underwear and dance all over the back yard with it.
  • My head does not belong in the refrigerator.
  • The garbage collector is NOT stealing our stuff.

What resolutions would you recommend to your dog?
