The Top 9 Ways Your Pet Prepares for Winter
9> Puts white leash in storage after Labor Day.
8> Quits ferreting the remote and keys under the couch, starts
gathering lots and lots of socks.
7> Upgrades his daily catnap from 20 hours to 22 hours.
6> All that exercise-wheel-generated electricity now runs a small
baseboard heater.
5> Buys a wool shell to go over his turtle neck.
4> Your St. Bernard has the usual keg around his neck and several
hip flasks tucked away in his thermal sweater.
3> Cuddles up real close to that other budgie that lives in the
mirror.
2> Apparently, yakking up even larger furballs is part of the
routine.
and the Number 1 Way Your Pet Prepares for Winter...
1> Changes the antifreeze in his car, puts up the storm windows,
licks his testicles.
