Pet rules

I came across this list of pet rules that I thought was pretty amusing. The ones I bolded definitely apply to Cinnamon. Of course I'd be able to think up of tons on my own.

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 ball when they sleep. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other stretched out to the fullest extent possible.

For the last time, there is not a 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 mandatory.

The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough!

Do your boys sleep in different positions, depending if it's night or morning? Cause at night, Cinn will just take up the entire left side but in the morning, he feels the need to always walk over and sleep literally ontop of my head, on the pillow! (And he always makes sure it's the butt end that faces me)

I really don't get the bathroom fixation. When he eventually whacks the door open, he'll walk in, look at me, then walk out...leaving the door wide opened.
