Pets Are More Than Just Funny

Pets are funny, no doubt about it. But they also are valuable additions to the family. Pets can teach children lessons they will carry throughout life. One good example is unconditional love. They love you you regardless of your failings. Important lessons on friendship, responsibility, loyalty, and devotion come gift-wrapped in fur. To care for a pet is to be responsible. You've got to feed them and take care of them. You've got to clean up behind them many times. That part may not be fun. You've got to teach them discipline but the joy of seeing them light up when you walk into the room makes it all worth it. Work and play, life's great counter-balancing weights, begin with pets. If you don't have a dog or cat, consider getting one. If not for yourself, do it for the kids.

Mind Games Dogs Play

Let the humans teach you a brand new trick, and learn it well. Then when the humans try to demonstrate it to someone else, stare blankly back at the humans. Pretend you have no idea what they're talking about.

Draw attention to the human. When out for a walk always pick the busiest, most visible spot to go poop. Take your time and make sure everyone watches. This works particularly well if your humans have forgotten to bring a plastic bag.

Make your humans be patient. When you go outside to go pee, sniff around the entire yard as your humans wait. Act as if the spot you choose to go pee will ultimately decide the fate of the world.

When going out for a walk, alternate between choking and coughing every time a strange human walks by.

Make your own rules. Don't always bring back the stick when playing fetch with the humans. Make them go and chase it once in a while.

Funny Pet Names

Funny pet names are a fun way to express how you feel about your pet. Our pets can bring us joy and happiness. There's no disputing that. So, there is nothing wrong with choosing a fun name. Dogs learn their names and commands based on short and easy words. For other pets, there are really no limitations as to what you can name them. You can be as funny and creative as you like. Make sure it is something that the whole family can easily pronounce. Also, be certain the funny pet name won't cause any embarrassment for any of the family members when someone uses it. For ideas for funny pet names, you will find many books or magazines with good suggestions. Here's a good starter list.

Ruff Ruff says "Please Don't Go"

My dog is the funniest pet around. I know everyone thinks their pet is funny, so do I. One of the most hilarious things that Ruff Ruff does is when it is time for me to go to work, he protests. No not in the normal way of barking or running around, or even laying in front of the door to block it. Ruff Ruff runs to my closet and gets some of my more casual clothes like my sweats and brings it to me. He knows that when I put my suit on, that I am leaving without him. So he does his best to let me know that isn't what he wants. When I proceed to leave anyway, you guessed it, he says "Ruff Ruff."
