How
Many Dogs Does It Take to Change A Light Bulb?
1.
Golden Retriever: The sun is shining, the day is young, we've got our
whole lives ahead of us, and you're inside worrying about a stupid burned
out bulb?
2. Border Collie: Just one. And then I'll replace any wiring that's not
up to code.
3. Dachshund: You know I can't reach that stupid lamp!
4. Rottweiler: Make me.
5. Boxer: Who cares? I can still play with my squeaky toys in the dark.
6. Lab: Oh, me, me!!!!! Pleeeeeeeeeze let me change the light bulb! Can
I? Can I? Huh? Huh? Huh? Can I? Pleeeeeeeeeze, please please, please!
7. German Shepherd: I'll change it as soon as I've led these people from
the dark, check to make sure I haven't missed any, and make just one more
perimeter patrol to see that no one has tried to take advantage of the
situation.
8. Jack Russell Terrier: I'll just pop it in while I'm bouncing off the
walls and furniture.
9. Old English Sheep Dog: Light bulb? I'm sorry, but I don't see a light
bulb?
10. Cocker Spaniel: Why change it? I can still pee on the carpet in the
dark.
11. Chihuahua: Yo quiero Taco Bulb.
12. Pointer: I see it, there it is, there it is, right there...
13. Greyhound: It isn't moving. Who cares?
14. Australian Shepherd: First, I'll put all the light bulbs in a little
circle...
15. Poodle: I'll just blow in the Border Collie's ear and he'll do it.
By the time he finishes rewiring the house, my nails will be dry.
The Cat's Answer: Dogs do not change light bulbs. People change light
bulbs. So, the real question is: How long will it be before I can expect
some light, some dinner, and a massage?

LIFE
LESSONS LEARNED FROM A DOG
1.
If you stare at someone long enough, eventually you'll get what you want.
2.
Don't go out without ID.
3.
Be direct with people; let them know exactly how you feel by piddling
on their shoes.
4.
Be aware of when to hold your tongue, and when to use it.
5.
Leave room in your schedule for a good nap.
6.
Always give people a friendly greeting. A cold nose in the crotch is most
effective.
7.
When you do something wrong, always take responsibility (as soon as you're
dragged shamefully out from under the bed).
8.
If it's not wet and sloppy, it's not a real kiss.
