Dogs crack me up because they’re all jerks. Lovable jerks, for sure, but they’re still idiots, and they have no shame. Dogs just enjoy doing what dogs do.
Simple things amaze them. Every weekday you come home from work, and they’re ecstatic that you were able to find your way back on your own… again. When they hear a siren, they howl to help spread the alarm. Throw a snowball into a drift and they’ll spend 15 minutes looking for it before they realize that they’ve been had, and then they want you to do it again.
But dogs know how to play us as well. Sure Rover is happy to see you, licking your face and all… but he remembers where his tongue was a few minutes before, even if you didn’t see him doing it.

Tacky Raccoons 
Until we get our grubby little paws on them, dogs seem to me to be some of the most well-adjusted critters around.
They sniff butts, eat rotten garbage, whiz on anything, take a dump on anything, bark at whatever they want, lick their privates… and they’re ok with that. Once they establish a pecking order amongst themselves they’re set.

dogs are my favorite people. We could all take personality lessons from them. (not the butt-sniffing thing, of course) but their zest for life and their honesty. 🙂

LK– Above all, dogs are loyal. Below all, well, there’s that butt-sniffing and drinking out of the toilet thing going on. If that’s all we’ve got on them, I think they’re doing pretty good on average.
Leeuna– Very true, that. But not for ankle-biting kickme dogs. Those deserve to be fluffed in the dryer for ten minutes every week or so just like cats.
