"Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for--in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it."

Ellen DeGeneres

A dog typing away at a computer tells his canine buddy, "On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog ".

Pet Rules--Memo to the Family Dog and Cat

1. When I say move, it means go someplace else. It does not mean switch positions with each other so there are still two of you in the way.

2. The dishes on the floor are yours and contain your food. All other dishes are mine and contain my food. (Please note: placing a paw or nose-print in the middle of my dinner does not stake your claim on it, nor do I find it aesthetically pleasing in any way.)

3. The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Beating me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help because I fall faster than you can run.

4. I cannot buy anything bigger than a king size bed. Locate your inner beast and remember that sleeping animals can actually curl up in a ball, so it is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other, stretched out to the fullest extent possible.

5. My compact discs are not miniature Frisbees.

6. For the last time, humans like to use the bathroom alone. If by some miracle I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it won't help to claw, whine, meow, bite the knob, or get your paw under the edge and try to pull the door open. (Trust me, I have been using the bathroom for years...canine or feline attendance is not mandatory.)

7. When you see me asleep on the couch, it is not funny to make a sudden leap onto my stomach and drop a chew toy, bone or jingle ball on my crotch, no matter how much that makes other family members laugh.

8. Dog: Don't think for a minute that making a sad face and whimpering pathetically will get you out of trouble when I find a puddle of pee on the carpet. The face and the whimpering only validate that you knew it was wrong when you did it.

9. Cat: My sitting down to bite into a juicy sandwich is not a signal for you to begin gagging loudly and then hocking up the most disgusting hairball in history.

10. Dog and Cat: The proper order is kiss me, then go lick yourself. I cannot stress this enough.

To pacify you I have posted the following message on our front door:

Rules for Non-Pet Owners Who Visit and Complain About Our Pets:

1. They live here; you don't.

2. If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture.

3. I like my pet(s) better than I like most people.

4. To you it's an animal. To me, it's an adopted child who is short, hairy, walks on all fours and is speech-challenged.

5. Dogs and cats are better than kids. They eat less, are easier to train, usually come when called, don't ask for money, never drive your car, don't hang out with losers, don't drink or smoke, and don't worry about the latest fashions.

7-Years Old Wonder.......

Pondy Girl Can Name Medicines For 1,000 Ailments

Bosco Dominique | TNN

Puducherry: While other children her age pore over comics, sevenyear-old Bakkiashri Baskar reads tomes on anatomy, pharmacology and ophthalmology.
Ask this Std III student about managing haemorrhage while performing open heart surgery, and she can tell you the correct medication in a trice. Bakkiashri, who has an impeccable memory and knows the right medicine for over 1,000 ailments right from a headache to dreaded diseases aspires to become the world’s youngest doctor. A host of doctors in Puducherry, who tested her skills, were spellbound and some have given written testimony to her talent.
“It was little difficult to read the books in the beginning, but it turned out to be fun. I really love to read medical books and magazines,” says Bakkiashri, who has never been to a cinema theatre. She doesn’t watch television either. Her father M Baskar, a graduate in zoology, plans to approach medical institutions that are willing to relax the age limit for Bakkiashri to sit for examinations to obtain a degree in medicine. It all began last year, when Baskar realised that his daughter has a good memory and started questioning her about what she wanted to be when she grew up. “She said she wanted to become a doctor and find a permanent cure for cancer. She requested me to buy books so that she could begin her studies,” says Baskar, who spent almost Rs 40,000 on books and within a year, the child prodigy started memorising ailments and their medication.
