New Year's resolutions for the canine

• I will stop trying to find the few remaining clean pieces of carpet in the house when I am about to throw up.

  
  

• I will not roll on dead seagulls, fish, crabs, etc.

  
  

• I will not chew my human's toothbrush and not tell them.

  
  

• When in the car, I will not insist on having the window rolled down when it's raining outside.

  
  

• I will not bark each time I hear a door bell on TV.

  
  

• I will not walk under the big dog when he is peeing.

  
  

• I will not steal Mom's underwear and dance all over the back yard with it.

  
  

• I will not play tug-o'-war with Dad's underwear when he's on the toilet.

  
  

• I will remember my head does not belong in the refrigerator.

  
  

• I will not bite the officer's hand when he reaches in for Mom's driver's license and car registration.

  
  

• I will remember the garbage collector is NOT stealing our stuff.

  
  

• I must shake the rainwater out of my fur BEFORE entering the house.

To All My Democrat Friends:

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2008, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere. Also, this wish is made without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishees.

To My Republican Friends:

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Come. Grow old along with me!
The best is yet to be,
the last of life,
for which the first was made.
