Does it seem like every time you try and post a question or
comment to a dog list, you get yourself into trouble? If so, then
this list is for you. If you religiously follow all of the rules
on this Official DON'T list, you'll never get in trouble again.
The Official Dog Enthusiast's DON'T List
DON'T let your dog sleep in your bed. It will cause aggression
problems down the road.
DON'T make your dog sleep in a crate. Crate is just another word
for small cage.
DON'T let your dog sleep outside at night. If God had wanted dogs
to sleep outside, he would have covered their body with hair to
keep them warm.
DON'T let your dog sleep. You should be playing with him all the
time.
DON'T keep more than two dogs. Each individual dog requires
considerable time and energy, and it is impossible for a
responsible dog owner to spend quality time with more than two dogs.
DON'T keep less than five dogs. Dogs are pack animals, and five
dogs is the minimum number for proper socialization.
DON'T feed your dog kibble. Kibble is the invention of evil
capitalists who want your money, and kibble has no nutritional
value whatsoever. You might as well feed your dog sawdust.
DON'T cook your dog's meat or chicken. Cooking destroys all the
nutrients.
DON'T feed your dog raw meat or raw chicken. Raw food contains
salmonella, e-coli, and other harmful bacteria.
DON'T let your dog drink out of a plastic bowl. It will turn his
nose pink.
DON'T post messages to a dog list. You will surely get bopped on
the head for thinking that someone else cares about your silly
little opinions.
DON'T poke your eye with a sharp stick. It has nothing to do with
dogs, but it's a good rule nonetheless.
DON'T microchip your dog. A nearby cell phone can cause a
microchipped dog to explode, or so says the lady running the
tattoo booth.
DON'T tattoo your dog on the ear. A dog thief will cut off the
tattooed ear.
DON'T tattoo your dog on the thigh. He'll be a tripod before you
can say Ginsu.
DON'T keep a collar on your dog when unattended. He could get
caught on something and choke.
DON'T leave your dog unattended without a collar. He could run
away without any identification.
DON'T transport your dog in a plastic crate. Plastic crates don't
allow sufficient air flow.
DON'T transport your dog in a wire crate. In a car accident, a
wire crate transforms into a doggie skewer. On days you plan to
have a car accident, it is acceptable to use a plastic crate.
DON'T let your dog drive. It's against the law in many states.
DON'T enter your dog in conformation. It's b-o-r-i-n-g for the dog.
DON'T enter your dog in obedience. It's B-o-r-i-n-g with a
capital"B."
DON'T enter your dog in agility. The jumps will injure his joints.
DON'T send your dog out with a handler. Only a psychopath would
send their beloved pet with a complete stranger.
DON'T handle your dog yourself. You've got a great dog, and he
deserves a much better handler than you will ever be.
DON'T get a purebred dog. Too much inbreeding has produced dogs
with temperament and health problems.
DON'T get a mutt. You don't know anything about their pedigree.
In fact, if you're thinking about getting a dog, get a cat instead.
DON'T don't. That's right, you heard me, just don't!
DON'T leave your dog's dewclaws intact. He will rip one off
jumping a log or something, which is quite painful.
DON'T remove your dog's dewclaws. Dewclaws are acupuncture points
that are needed for proper functioning of the kidneys.
AND, the #1 DON'T .....
DON'T trim your dog's whiskers. Dogs use their whiskers to
determine the size of their head, which is important when they
are out shopping for a new hat.
