RE: RULES
---------------------------------
Why do humans smell the flowers, but seldom, if ever, smell one another?
When we get to heaven, can we sit on your couch? Or is it still the same old story?
Why are there cars named after the jaguar, the cougar, the mustang, the colt, the stingray, and the rabbit, but not ONE named for a dog? How often do you see a cougar riding around? We do love a nice ride! Would it be so hard to rename the "Chrysler Eagle" the "Chrysler Beagle"?
If a dog barks his head off in the forest and no human hears him, is he still a bad dog?
We dogs can understand human verbal instructions, hand signals, whistles, horns, clickers, beepers, scent IDs, electromagnetic energy fields, and Frisbee flight paths. What do humans understand?
More meatballs, less spaghetti, please.
Are there mailmen in Heaven? If there are, will I have to apologize?
Let me give you a list of just some of the things I must remember to be a good dog.
1 . I will not eat the cats' food before they eat it or after they throw it up.
2. I will not roll on dead seagulls, fish, crabs, etc., just because I like the way they smell.
3. The Litter Box is not a cookie jar.
4. The sofa is not a 'face towel'.
5. The garbage collector is not stealing our stuff.
6. I will not play tug-of-war with dad's underwear when he's on the toilet.
7. Sticking my nose into someone's crotch is an unacceptable way of saying "hello".
8. I don't need to suddenly stand straight up when I'm under the coffee table.
9. I must shake the rainwater out of my fur before entering the house -- not after.
10. I will not come in from outside and immediately drag my butt.
11. I will not sit in the middle of the living room and lick my crotch.
12. The cat is not a 'squeaky toy' so when I play with him and he makes that noise, it's usually not a good thing.
Corey, you know I love you. But I don't think I can vote for a blog where there've only been five posts since July 1.
You've found True Love(r), and your silence speaks encyclopedias about how happy you are. But it has taken you away from posting. If I were to vote for your blog, I'd be a suck-up. I'd be voting for you, not for the blog. I'd be....well, pity-voting? "I'll vote for the blog not because it's got content, but because Corey is so cute and nice." Nope. Can't do that. You are cute, you are nice (and you are a friend), but casting my vote for those reasons would be wrong.
Personally, I want you to stay happy and in love. And if that means you never post again, I'm all for that. If that means you never win a GayBloggie, I'm all for that. Honesty, and your happiness and being in love, are more important than some farcical Web-award. (Although I do wish you'd post more poems. I guess you're saving those for the next book, though...dang.)
YOU TOTALLY RULE!!!! You're soooo beautiful...in MANY ways! :o) I really enjoy talking with you, you're really wonderful! :o)
