Camp Run-A-Pup

My campers would like to share a few of their New Year’s Resolutions for 2008. Of course they know we will all understand when they break their resolutions. After all, they are “only” dogs.

I will not howl at the neighbors before 6am.
I will not throw up in the car.
I will not suddenly stand up while laying under the coffee table.
I will not lick the butter.
I will try to remember that the mailman is delivering the mail, not stealing it.
I will not use Katybeth or the furniture as a napkin or door mat.
I will not spill Joe’s Friday night martini and then grab the olive and run.
I will never again lift my leg on Joe’s suit coat two minutes before he is ready to leave for an appointment.
I will stop barking, growling, and howling at the animals on Animal Planet; they have a hard enough life in the wild.
I will not play tug-of-war with Cole’s stuffed animals; especially his Yellowstone Black Bear.
I will not pretend to eat Katybeth Brussels sprout for her, and then spit it out in front of his Cole.
I will not chase the ball/stick until after it leaves Katybeth’s, Cole’s or Joe’s hand.
I will not start a round of barking the minute the phone rings.
I will stop pretending that rain and bath water is different from lake and pool water.
I will not swim in the kitchen water bowl.
I will not growl, spin, snarl, tangle my human, or otherwise act like an idiot on a leash when I see another dog.
I will never jump on Grandma; however I do reserve the right to sniff her.
I will refrain from licking myself and from passing gas when company comes to dinner; however, I can’t help what the family does.


Camp is good. We hope you are too!
