A MUST read for everyone

The last words of a very intelligent dog
Before I go, I just want to remind all you pups and kitties to always have plenty of love for your humans even if they might be grumpy. Sometimes they get caught up in all sorts of things and take us for granted. That doesn't mean they don't love and need us. Also you humans, remember why you have us around. If you are feeling stressed out, pet us. It's been proven to lower your blood pressure. Also keep lots of treats handy. And for everyone, enjoy life. Always take time for walks, frisbee and CAR RIDES.
And one last thing for you humans. If you are considering adding another dog to your home, think about giving one of older dogs a chance. We don't chew up your shoes, pee inside (well, not unless we really can't help it) or need lots of training. Plus you will have a very loyal friend for the rest of our lives. ~Domi, the therapy dog, 1996-2009

The House Dog's Grave
by Robinson Jeffers (1887-1962)
I've changed my ways a little; I cannot now
Run with you in the evenings along the shore,
Except in a kind of dream; and you,
If you dream a moment,
You see me there.
So leave awhile the paw-marks on the front door
Where I used to scratch to go out or in,
And you'd soon open; leave on the kitchen floor
The marks of my drinking-pan.
I cannot lie by your fire as I used to do
On the warm stone,
Nor at the foot of your bed; no,
All the nights through I lie alone.
But your kind thought has laid me less than six feet
Outside your window where firelight so often plays,
And where you sit to read‚
And I fear often grieving for me‚
Every night your lamplight lies on my place.
You, man and woman, live so long, it is hard
To think of you ever dying.
A little dog would get tired, living so long.
I hope that when you are lying
Under the ground like me your lives will appear
As good and joyful as mine.
No, dears, that's too much hope:
You are not so well cared for as I have been.
And never have known the passionate undivided
Fidelities that I knew.
Your minds are perhaps too active, too many-sided...
But to me you were true.
You were never masters, but friends. I was your friend.
I loved you well, and was loved. Deep love endures
To the end and far past the end. If this is my end,
I am not lonely. I am not afraid. I am still yours.

Woof! What a wickedly kool sign!
Cheers,

We don't have a lawn so no sign like that for me. :D
How strange - Savannah and Tony look similar to the two dogs Master and Misery Mistress had before me.
Freya is very beautiful.
Pippa
Humph. Who said it was YOUR back yard?

Some mean guy in our neighborhood has a sign like this in his front yard. Mom keeps telling me she'll give me a WHOLE pig ear if I take a dump right next to it so she can take a picture!
Don't worry...she carries those little biodegradable bags and totally picks up my land mines...but the pic would sure be funny!
Love,
S-Dog
Hey - you gotta go somewhere!
We need to borrow that sign!!! There's a persistent pooper in our garden and his/her hooman slave does not pick up his or her poop!
I like how the sign is addressed to the dogs! But, it's the darn humans who should be picking up after them!
Mom has biodegradable bags that she ties to our leashes. She always scoops our poops.
Love Ruby & Penny
We need one of those signs too. Lately we have a regular visitor that's leaving us a gift every day. We have 2 neighbors that walk their dogs by our house everyday & I don't see them carrying any bags.My daughter stepped in it the other day & wasn't too happy!
I don't has to worry bout that coz I only poo in my own yard and nowhere else but for those doggies who does poo in udder yards, yes, most definitely the humans needs to pick it up. My mom still carries poo bags for me even tho there is never any to pick up. Better safe than sorry, she says.
My mom really wants to get a sign to remind people to pick up after their dogs. We live in a corner house and dogs love to linger by the street lamp next to our driveway. Unfortunately, hardly any of our neighbors ever bother to pick up after them! Some hoomans are so lazy and don't want to accept all the responsibilities that come with owning dogs.
hello loving for a living its dennis the vizsla dog hay ha ha ha yore sine sez poo poo!!! ok bye
Kool sign, Scout and Freyja! Gotta ask Ma to get one for the front. Even tho folks around here are pretty responsible, once in a while, peoples need a "what-for" reminder heheee!
Hugs xo

If only the sign was in Khanine!

Doggies don't read, silly!
Sam & June
Oh that is just wrong. Human owners should always pick up after their dogs! It is just common courticy!
I don't think it's the puppies - I think it's the peoples who need those signs!
Hiya Scout and Freyja! I shoulda been here much sooner to say hi but, well, I have no good excuse other than there are so many good blogs to read and I can't keep up. I love your blog header-very classy.
As for the No poop sign for dogs-DUH!
Just goes to show the intelligence of those at the other end of our leash. And the laziness of those who don't pick up after us when nature calls.
Anyway-thanks for stoppin' by my blog and I hope to get back here more often.
Woofs and slobbers,
Chester ;0=)
Maybe we can make it neon and flashing!
And just who did you think would read it?
Woos, Phantom and TD
That has to be the coolest sign I've ever seen! Your Mom is great!
Love,
Teddy Bear
Sign or not we have to do what we have to do!
