Dear Diary,
I'm not sure what a New Years Resolution is. But I think it has something to do with change. So while everybody else is making their list... I've decided to do my part...
1. I will wait until after 7:30 am to start scratching my ears and licking my butt.
2. I won't jump up on Rissie the minute she walks in the door.
3. I will not jump in Mom's chair as soon as she gets up to go to another room. I'll jump in Dad's chair instead.
4. Okay. I won't jump in Dad's chair either.
5. When it comes time to clean my ears, I'll sit passively and allow Mom to dump that wet stuff down my ears and massage them... and I won't get up and go crazy, rubbing them all over the carpet and pillows.
6. Barking at passersby is out of the question. I will pretend there is no one outside of my window walking down the street. I will convince myself that it is a figment of my imagination.
7. I will sleep in Gracie's bed at night.
8. I will stay away from all bugs.
9. I will not chew up any of Rissie's toys.
10. I will not beg for chocolate. I know it's off limits.
In Return, I am asking that Mom and Dad do a little changing of their own.
I mean, a dog like me deserves a little respect. Don't you agree?
Gracie.
Happy New Year Everyone!
May 2011 be Blessed beyond Measure!!
Excellent resolutions - - - especially the first one. Tell our cat that no baths before the alarm clock rings would be appreciated in this house, too! Hope you have a very Happy New Year - - and keep working on those humans. They really are easy to train your way.
ReplyDeleteGracie, you are so sweet! I love to visit you and your mom and I don't want to miss a single post! I wish you all a very happy new year. God bless in 2011.
ReplyDeleteGracie, your resolutions are admirable!! Hope you have a wonderful New Year, and don't stress the resolutions too much. I think mom and dad are pretty much softies! Happy New Year to you and your family!!! I hope you have abundant blessings!!
