I’ve seen versions of this list before but I had to laugh when I read it this time because with us owning a dog many of these “dog traits” now hit home.
Here’s the list:
Dogs Don’t cry.
Dogs don’t care if you use their shampoo or hairbrush.
Dogs think you sing great.
A dog’s time in the bathroom is confined to a quick drink.

The later you are, the more excited dogs are to see you.
Dogs will forgive you for playing with other dogs.
Dogs don’t notice if you call them by another dog’s name.
Dogs are excited by rough play.
Dogs don’t mind if you give their offspring away.
Dogs can appreciate excessive body hair.
Anyone can get a good looking dog.
If a dog is gorgeous, other dogs don’t hate it.

You never have to wait for a dog, they’re ready to go 24 hours a day.
Dogs have no use for flowers, jewelry or cards.
Dogs don’t borrow your shirts.

Dogs don’t criticize.
Dogs listen without interrupting. Dogs don’t mind if the house isn’t painted, the lawn mowed, or car washed.
I realized re-reading this that this probably says more about men then it does women! ;-)
I want to give proper credit. I stole this list from Gut Rumbles who confesses to having stolen it from No Watermelons. Who knows how it got there?
Dogs! You’ve gotta love ’em. No wonder they are man’s best friend! :-)
“How Dogs Are Better Then Women” filed under humor. More appropriately should be filed under offensive. Maybe appropriate isn’t your thing.
Charles:
Thanks for your suggestion on the filing of this post. However, I believe this post is indeed filed correctly for those people who actually have a sense of humor or those who don’t take themselves so seriously.
Sorry it offends your Politically Correct sensibilities, but then you didn’t have to read it did you?
[ No dogs were hurt during the writing of this post. ] :-)
As a women I don’t see a big problem here. I think it’s funny…maybe not highbrow humor, but funny.
But then, I like The Three Stooges!
Perhaps to offer less chance of offense the title could be changed to something like “How Are Dogs Man’s Best Friends?”
JoJo,
Thanks for your perspective on this.
Not a bad suggestion on the title. Let me see what I can come up with that doesn’t change the humor.
I certainly wouldn’t have changed it to accommodate those with such thin skin. Man, we’ve become a bunch of over-sensitive people. Charles probably wrote his opinion while his wife was looking over his shoulder! ;-)
Paul:
I wasn’t going to change a thing until JoJo offered her suggestion.
I agree I thought the comment was out of character for a “guy.”
