Why You Should Be Jealous Of Your Dog.

...because s/he gets to come to Small Paws! :D

Oh, but that's not all, dear readers. There is a multitude of reasons why dogs are living the GOOD life, in contrast to their beleaguered human caregivers. As I type this, I need only look a few feet away to see why.

Enjoy the exhibition, and try not to resent your played out pooch come home-time ;)

***

Reason #1: Dogs believe in free love. 

They routinely make out with their friends (ahem, Hailey & Molly).

***

Reason 2: The best things in life really are free. 

All a dog needs is a ball, and they're set. 

***

Reason 3: Dogs don't have to take multivitamins. 

Rupert and Talula know what I'm talking about--vitamins taste terrible. The only good vitamins are the ones that come shaped like a certain Stone Age family whose name rhymes with "Mintphones". 

***

Reason 4: Stairs are easier when you walk on four legs. 

I'm serious. How do I know this? I lived on the fourteenth floor and the elevator once stopped working (to my horror, and my dog's delight), and Nini shows us how easy it is. 

***

Reason #5: Dogs don't have to eat vegemite. 

'Nuff said.

***

Reason #6: Basket + Puppies = Cute. 

Am I right? I mean, humans + basket = candidacy for asylum (or reenactment of the biblical story of Moses), whereas Rocco and Max + Basket = AWWWWWW.

***

Reason #7: Dogs don't have to do paperwork. 

Even being near it induces sleepiness, as Mika, Rose, Lexy and Ricky demonstrate. 

***

Reason #8: When dogs sprawl out in public, it's sweet...

...as Tuka effortlessly does. But if you or I were to do it, expect uniformed gentlemen asking you to leave the premises (trust me, I know this from personal experience ;)

***

Reason #9: Five letters: 

Z-U-K-E-'S! 

It's just not fair that Zuke's treats are yummy AND healthy

(lucky Hoover & Lucy!)

***

Reason #10: Dogs play throughout their whole lives. 

Lincoln tussles with a ball with vigor despite his seniority, whereas my 14 year old cousin routinely dismisses the game of tag as "kids' stuff". 

***

Reason #11: Dogs are straightforward with each other. 

Rose: Heidi? I'd really like to clean your ears. 

Heidi: ...I'm okay with this. 

Rose: (wish fulfilled). 

Heidi: (clean ears).

Why Dogs May Not Have It Easier Than Humans: 

Reason #1: They have to do class photos, too ;)
