I thought the follwing was cute and SO TRUE I thought I would share it.  My sister sent it
to me.

Enjoy.

Dear Dog and Cat,

When I say to move, it means to go someplace else, not Switch
positions with each other so there are still two of you in the way.

The dishes with the paw print are yours and contain your food. The
other dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note that placing a
paw print in the middle of my plate and food does not stake a claim
for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically
pleasing in the slightest.

The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is therefore not a
racetrack. Beating me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me
doesn't help either, as I fall faster than you can run.

I cannot buy anything bigger than a king size bed. I am very sorry
about this. Do not think I will resort to sleeping on the sofa to
ensure your comfort.

Look at videos of dogs and cats sleeping. They can actually curl up
into a ball. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other
stretched out to the fullest extent possible. Please note that
sticking tails and tongues out to maximize space used is nothing but
sarcasm.

My compact discs are not miniature frisbees.

For the last time, there is not a secret exit from the bathroom. If,
by some miracle, I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it
is not necessary to claw, whine, try to turn the knob, or get your paw  under the edge
and try to pull the door open. When I exit this room, I  will come out the same door I
entered. In addition, I have been using  bathrooms for years. Canine and/or feline
attendance has never been necessary.

The proper order is: kiss me, then go smell the other dog's butt. I
cannot stress this enough. It would be such a simple change for you.

Now, in return for your following these simple rules, I have posted
the following message on our front door:

Rules for Non-Pet Owners Who Visit and Like to Complain About Our Pets:

1. They live here. You don't.

2. If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture.

3. I like my pet a lot better than I like most people.

4. To you, it's an animal. To me, he/she is an adopted son/daughter
who is short, hairy, walks on all fours and doesn't speak clearly.

5. Dogs and cats are better than kids. They eat less, don't ask for
money all the time, are easier to train, usually come when called,
never drive your car, don't hang out with drug-using friends, don't
smoke or drink, don't worry about buying the latest fashions, don't
wear your clothes, don't need a gazillion dollars for college, and if
they get pregnant, you can sell the results.
