TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Since this is a helpful forum, I have a designed a useful checklist for dog owners.  Don't try and beat me to the Patent Office on this one.  I am sure not everyone needs this simple checklist, but there are plenty of others, ok maybe four, probably just one who resides with me some that do.  No names will be given to protect the guilty, and I most certainly do not want to embarrass my husband anyone on this forum. This is strictly a to do list before bedtime for those of us with dogs, married to people who come to bed last without a thought for others sleeping or watching Person of Interest care in the world.  For most of us it is self explanatory.

 Nightly Checklist

Last person to come to bed should do the following:

• Make sure the dogs have clean water in their bowl.
  
• Take the dogs out to go potty.
  
• Give the dogs a treat when they come in from outside.
  
• Turn off all the lights and lock the door.
  
• Stop pretending you are asleep when none of this is done.
  

 

DUH!!!

I was so excited to hand this helpful list to someone (again, no names, so this person can remain anonymous) who sleeps in my bed I know and was sure it would be well received and welcomed. The recipient read it, and then mentioned where he thought the perfect location was to stick it keep the list and ended with a DUH. I think a little tweaking may be in order, but I think this is really going to help. Let me know what you think!

She is studying to go to college with BG and Gavin...

[BG and Gavin]

She'll need a backpack and a laptop Suzann.

[Suzann, Rosey & Bandit]

She has an iPad and a purse... Will that suffice?

[BG and Gavin]

Sure, it's for me anyway.  There are no free rides ;)

What is point of having a husband in the first place if you have to do all this stuff yourself? You might as well live alone. I mean, if you come to bed exhausted after having to complete the nightly checklist on your own, you certainly wouldn't have any extra energy or inclination to do anything other than go right to sleep. Maybe you could mention that at the end of the checklist. :-)

The little red hen philosophy strikes again :-)

You may be on to something, Karen...

Hmmm, list may be a good idea for the guy who, just as I am about doze off, says "did you happen to check if I closed the garage door?

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]
