Advice To Dogs

   1  After your humans give you a bath, don't let them towel dry you!
   Instead, run to their bed, jump up and dry yourself on the sheets.
   This is especially good if it's right before your humans' bedtime.

   2  Act like a convicted criminal. When the humans come home,
   put your ears back, tail between your legs, chin down and act
   as if you have done something really bad. Then, watch as the
   humans frantically search the house for the damage they think
   you have caused.

   3  Hide from your humans. When your humans come home,
   don't greet them at the door. Instead, hide from them.
   and make them think something terrible has happened to you.
   (Don't reappear until one of your humans is panic-stricken
   and close to tears).

   4  Wake up 20 minutes before the alarm clock is set to go
   off and make the humans take you out. As soon as you get
   back inside, fall asleep. (Humans can rarely fall back asleep
   after going outside; this will drive them nuts!)
