    The Top 9 REAL Reasons Why Your Dog is So Happy to See You


 9> He has no pockets for a wallet, and *somebody* has to post
    bail for the cat.

 8> All he needs to finish the crossword puzzle is the answer
    to 13 down: a 5-letter word for "opposable digit."

 7> Those cans of Alpo don't exactly open themselves.

 6> After a hard day of licking yourself and drinking out of
    the toilet, there's nothing more refreshing than wiping 
    your tongue on a nice clean face.

 5> If he greets you enthusiastically enough, you might not 
    notice right away that the three cats, two goldfish, and
    the hamster are all [*BURRRP!*] mysteriously missing.

 4> He's spent the day humping the furniture and your leg 
    is looking SO FINE!

 3> He's been having a hard time articulating the "extreme 
    nerd-factor" of his Top5-contributor-owner to the cute 
    little Shiba Inu next door; now that you're home he can
    just SHOW her.

 2> He can't wait to see how long it takes you to notice he's 
    switched your regular coffee with Folger's Crystals.


                 and the Number 1 REAL Reason Why
                Your Dog is So Happy to See You...


 1> You ever try talking to the goldfish?  Nothing but sports,
    sports, sports.

That accursed vacuum cleaner seems to be inching closer to the 
outlet when no one is watching.
          (Martin Bredeck, Hybla Valley, VA)

The cat has been practicing S&M techniques on him.

The cat spent the day reading the instruction booklet that 
came with the vacuum cleaner.
