My Dog Newton and his Resolutions.

Over the weekend I found my dogs list of New Years resolutions.

Resolution #1: I will eat less and exercise more. Too many dog treats and much too much bacon.

Resolution #2: I will beg less. I've got begging down to a fine art -- Brian & Kellie are putty in my paws -- but it sure is demeaning. I promise to reserve the begging for worthwhile things, like steak.

Resolution #3: I will recognize the difference between carpet and the yard.. I promise not to treat the furniture and walls the way I do the yard.

Resolution #4: I'll do better "holding it" until morning. When nature calls, I'll steel my resolve to wait for my normal morning 4am walk, unless special considerations apply. I'll decide what those special considerations are.

Resolution #5: I'll tolerate those little bandannas from the vet more. I'll just put up with the way they feel and the taunts of the other dogs.

Resolution #6: I resolve to make this year the year I actually get my own TV tray table, instead of having to eat only what Kellie tosses on the floor.

Resolution #7: Brian in the dog cage, Me in the bed.
