Birdbrains by Thom Bluemel for January 23, 2010

Such owners exist, just met one in the dog park that thinks the same about their mutt…

So Sid has a smiley face on his collar, but why does the other pooch have a frowny face on his collar? He seems like a happy doggy.

Hey, his name is Cesar Milan!!

JFri: Please just whisper that name.

Dogs have thumbs?

Only when it’s funny, Pacejv.

My cat is trained. I say sit, he sits. I say stay, he stays. I say come—well two out of three ain’t bad.

I think the faces on the tags are just for us to find, but why does the owner wear his watch on his right hand?

vidazzle: Many lefties wear their watches on the right hand so it doesn’t get in the way when you’re writing, I believe. For those youngsters out there, someone will have to explain what “writing” is.

I taught my Siamese to fetch. I throw the mousy, she runs over and kicks it around for a minute, then picks it up and puts it where she wants me to go get it. I go over, pick it up, and we do it again. Who says you can’t train a cat? ;-)

He’s got his owner trained to pet him after he takes the biscuit!

Good Saturday Morning Thom & Everyone!

RayC Good one, about the writing!

Hey, maybe Sid could use it as research for his treat-ise on ”Dog - Human Interaction - are Jerky Treats Worth the Self Humiliation?”

And for a “he” – the owner sure has tiny little girly hands!

Say, could it be Ted Forth? Is he a lefty?

My dogs Cleo and Kaya trained me in no time at all and they didn’t need to offer me biscuits either.

“Women and cats will do as they please, men and dogs should relax and get used to it.” - Heinlein

My cat can do lots of things. I say “sit,” he walks away. I say “stay’,” he jumps. When I say “stay,” he sleeps.

That be be his best trick.

You sure about that, dog? On the whole I don’t understand why you’d do any of those things for a human purely on your own initiative. (Well, the biscuits I can understand.)
