    Meet Oscar the Alaskan Malamute:


    (click for big)​

    Now that he's lost his winter coat (as seen above) an unreasonable number of people seem to mistake him for a wolf. :rolleyesedit:​


    And no, he's not allowed on that chair.​
    I thought that's why they called it FURniture.

    By the way, all 4 of our pups give that meaning to our couch and chairs.

    Haha, that reminds me of this email I received once:

    Dear Dogs and Cats,

    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, 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 not a racetrack. Beating me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help, because 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 continue to sleep on the couch to ensure your comfort. Look at videos of dogs and cats sleeping, they can actually curl up in a ball. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out the other end 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 the same door I entered. In addition, I have been using bathrooms for years. Canine/Feline attendance has never been necessary.

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

    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.

    EXCERPTS FROM! A CAT'S DIARY:

    DAY 752 - My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture. Tomorrow I may eat another houseplant.

    DAY 761 - Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded, must try this at the top of the stairs. In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors, I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chair...must try this on their bed.

    DAY 765 - Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body, in attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of, and to try to strike fear into their hearts. They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I was...Hmmm. Not working according to plan.

    DAY 768 - I am finally aware of how sadistic they are. For no good reason I was chosen for the water torture. This time however it included a burning foamy chemical called "shampoo." What sick minds could invent such a liquid? My only consolation is the piece of thumb still stuck between my teeth.

    DAY 771 - There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was placed in solitary throughout the event. However, I could hear the noise. More importantly I overheard that my confinement was due to MY power of "allergies." Must learn what this is and how to use it to my advantage.

    DAY 774 - I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches. The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return. He is obviously a half-wit. The bird on the other hand has got to be an informant, and speaks with them regularly. I am certain he reports my every move. Due to his current placement in the metal room his safety is assured. But I can wait; it is only a matter of time....

    My cousin from South Carolina passed this on to me knowing I'm such an animal lover.


    A newly discovered chapter in the Book of Genesis has provided the answer to "Where do pets come from?"
    Adam and Eve said, "Lord, when we were in the garden, you
    walked with us every day. Now we do not see you any more. We are
    lonesome here, and it is difficult for us to remember how much you
    love us."
    And God said, "I will create a companion for you that will
    be with you and who will be a reflection of my love for you, so that
    you will love me even when you cannot see me. Regardless of how
    selfish or childish or unlovable you may be, this new companion will
    accept you as you are and will love you as I do, in spite of
    yourselves."
    And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam and Eve.
    And it was a good animal.
    And God was pleased.
    And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam and Eve and he wagged his tail.
    And Adam said, "Lord, I have already named all the animals
    in the Kingdom and I cannot think of a name for this new animal."
    And God said, " I have created this new animal to be a
    reflection of my love for you, his name will be a reflection of my own
    name, and you will call him DOG."
    And Dog lived with Adam and Eve and was a companion to them and loved them.
    And they were comforted.
    And God was pleased.
    And Dog was content and wagged his tail.
    After a while, it came to pass that an angel came to the
    Lord and said, "Lord, Adam and Eve have become filled with pride. They strut and preen like peacocks and they believe they are worthy of adoration. Dog has indeed taught them that they are loved, but perhaps too well."
    And God said, "I will create for them a companion who will
    be with them and who will see them as they are. The companion will
    remind them of their limitations, so they will know that they are not
    always worthy of adoration."
    And God created CAT to be a companion to Adam and Eve.
    And Cat would not obey them. And when Adam and Eve gazed into Cat's eyes, they were reminded that they were not the supreme beings.
    And Adam and Eve learned humility.
    And they were greatly improved.
    And God was pleased .
    And Dog was happy.
    And Cat didn't give a **** one way or the other.
