October Is Adopt-A-Dog Month

Frederick - a foster dog
Letter to God from a foster dog;

Dear God:  

Let me give you a list of just some of the things I must remember to be a good Dog. 
1. I will not eat the cats' food before they eat it or after they throw it up.   

2. I will not roll on dead seagulls, fish, crabs, etc., just  because I like the way they smell.  
3. The Litter Box is not a  cookie jar.  

4. The sofa is not a 'face towel'.  

5. The  garbage collector is not stealing our stuff. 
6. I will not play  tug-of-war with Dad's underwear when he's on the toilet. 
7.  Sticking my nose into someone's crotch is an unacceptable way of saying  'hello'.  

8. I don't need to suddenly stand straight up when I'm under the coffee table  
9. I must shake the rainwater out of my fur before entering the house - not after. 
10. I will not come in from outside and immediately drag my butt. 
11. I will not sit in the middle of the living room and lick my crotch. 
12. The  cat is not a 'squeaky toy' so when I play with him and he makes that  noise, it's usually not a good thing.

Your friend,
Frederick - the foster dog

I didn't know it was adopt a dog month, I have been thinking about a kitten, I don't think I am ready for a dog yet.

All you have to do is go to your local shelter. They have lots of cats that need homes. And you might decide you are ready for a dog when you get there.

Good luck.
