mouseatthebusstop Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 Does anyone have a copy of the verse that has been on here before about the house being the dogs home and visiter should not mind the dog hair ect. A friend of mine has two labs a person she knows called to see her, the visiter was very rude and told my friend she should send her dogs to the animal shelter because they smelled and made a mess (they are both in a moult) so would like to print it off for her but I can not remember it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marion Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 I thought you meant this one at first Judy until you mentioned dog hair. Have saved the other one too, great poem. [b][color=red]VISITOR[/color][/b] [b][color=blue]These are our dogs This is their home From which we hope They'll never roam They're faithful friends We love them best This is their home You are a guest So if dogs to you Are just a peeve By all means FEEL FREE TO LEAVE[/color][/b] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atghylin Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 Ooooooooooo! I like the poem! Gonna print it out and frame it with pictures of Felix and hang it on the wall across from the front door for the In-laws and my sister to see as soon as they walk in the door when they come over for visits. They don't Felix; they think he's an nuasance(sp?) but he's not (he's better trained then my sister's dogs whom she barely even trained with obideance) and we love him dearly. thanks!

Horsefeathers! Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 My favorite is one I have framed by my front door. ================================= My Dog's House This is my dogs' house They live here You'll find they roam freely From the front to the rear I'm glad you came to see us My dogs are also glad you're here I hope that in their own way They bring you a degree of cheer But if my dogs upset you Or you simply find them a bore Remember this is my dogs' house And I'll gladly show you the door by Theresa Clark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
courtnek Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 heres another one you can use - no copyright infringements, I wrote it. It's hanging by my front door. My dogs live here, they’re here to stay. you don’t like pets, be on your way. they share my home, my food, my space this is their home, this is their space. You will find dog hair on the floor, they will alert you’re at the door. they may request a little pat, a simple “no” will settle that. It gripes me when I hear you say “just how is it you live this way? they smell, they shed, they’re in the way….” WHO ASKED YOU? is all I can say…. They love me more than anyone, my voice is like the rising sun, they merely have to hear me say “C’mon girls, time to go and play” then tails wag and faces grin, they bounce and hop and make a din. They never say “no time for you”, they’re always there, to GO and DO. and if I’m sad? They’re by my side and if I’m mad? they circle wide and if I laugh, they laugh with me they understand, they always see. so once again, I say to you come visit me, but know this too…. My dogs live here, they’re here to stay. you don’t like pets, be on your way. they share my home, my food, my space this is their home, this is their space.

mouseatthebusstop Posted May 21, 2004 Author Share Posted May 21, 2004 i was going to print one off and frame it for her but now I don't know which one to use :confused1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
courtnek Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 whichever one you like better Mouse...I wont be insulted if it's not mine. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: I wrote mine because I got sick (mostly of my mom) of people complaining that my dogs "were in the way", "left hair all over" "the couch is covered with hair" "they smell"...and I would pretty much have to recite all the facts in the poem. this is the price you pay for having the dogs. I clean up the hair all the time, but there is always SOME that seems to be there when guests come over. I actually told someone once that "fine. you dont want dogs. dont have any. But police chiefs have already declared that a dog is the best deterent to a burglary. If you get robbed, I dont want to hear about it." :D :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
courtnek Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 [quote]I love that paragraph! I had my appendix removed in December and when I got home from the hospital Divina jumped up in the chair to be with me. Instead of running directly up the center (like she usually does, it is the quickest way for her tongue to meet my face!) she walked up the side of the chair and made herself comfy on my thigh or even up on my shoulder. She somehow knew not to jump on my belly! She made my healing time much quicker... [/quote] this is the one thing I find the most amazing. They KNOW when you are sick/ill/indisposed...HOW do they know? Dogs can smell cancers, sense trouble, guide the blind and let the deaf know someone's at the door.... It takes training, I know, but they take to it so WELL!!! It almost comes naturally....Free laid by Kyles side after he had shattered his leg, and could do nothing but lay on the couch and take pain killers. She NEVER left his side. I had to pull her out the door to go do her stuff, and she would come straight back in and lay down on the floor near him. If he rolled over she would bark and come get me....there was nothing comfy or soft next to the couch. the rug was 6 inches away, that wasnt good enough. She had to be on the hardwood floor right next to his head. and just watched him, day in and day out.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogPaddle Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 sigh . . . I have a load of "regular guests" who feel too much at home here. They seem to feel that their shoes belong in the entrance way not on the shoe rack and their coat belongs on the ground beside the chair they are occupying and their bags and electronics spread all over my house. Today one git tossed his plastic cd cover on the ground and when the dog retrieved it he said "God, why do I bring anything over here!" . . . I'd be just as happy if they didn't.
