Quotes & Quips

One of my favorite sayings is, "If there are no dogs in heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went." I have it framed in my house. After my dog died, I recieved a beautiful poem about the Rainbow Bridge. What are your favorite doggie stories, quotes, poems or other sayings?

Here's a few of my favorites:
"A dog teaches a boy fidelity, perseverance, and to turn around three times before lying down." - Robert Benchley

"Outside of a dog a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read."
Groucho Marx

Dear Dogs and Cats,

New rules for dogs and cats for 2008

To be posted VERY LOW on the refrigerator door - nose height.

Dear Dogs and Cats,
The dishes with the paw print 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 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 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, it's 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 (except: Golden Retrievers)
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

"A dog is the only thing on Earth that loves you more than he loves himself." - J. Billings

"Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened." Anatole France

[Tante & Jordan & now Annie!]

If you think your dog can not count put 3 treats in your pocket and only give him 2.

The reason a dog has so many friends is because he wags his tail and not his tongue. (author unknown).

I came accords this old post when searching for relevant posts to help with some of the questions we see repeated on the forum. Just wanted to reopen it as I loved it in 2008 and it's still very fun to read again. Any new quotes since then?
