I saw this story on BBC Breakfast this morning about a beautiful dog rescued from drifting ice in Poland. Miraculously, it has a happy ending. Take a moment out of your day to restore your faith in the human race.

A little bit of Friday fun for you but it brought to mind a serious subject. It is very important to consider the breed of dog you are choosing, to ensure it fits your lifestyle. For example you would not buy a border collie if you lived in a flat with no garden and were out at work all day, as they are extremely intelligent and need a lot of exercise and mental stimulation. There will be something about this subject in more detail on the blog shortly.
So, how many dogs does it take to change a lightbulb?!
GOLDEN RETRIEVER: The sun is shining, the day is young, we’ve got our whole lives ahead of us, and you’re inside worrying about a stupid burned out bulb?
BORDER COLLIE: Just one. And then I’ll replace any wiring that’s not up to code.
DACHSHUND: You know I can’t reach that stupid lamp!
ROTTWEILER: Make me.
LABRADOR: Oh, me, me!!!! Pleeeeeeze let me change the light bulb! Can I? Can I? Huh? Huh? Huh? Can I?
TIBETAN TERRIER:Let the Border Collie do it. You can feed me while he’s busy!
JACK RUSSELL TERRIER: I’ll just pop it in while I’m bouncing off the walls and furniture.
POODLE: I’ll just blow in the Border Collie’s ear and he’ll do it. By the time he finishes rewiring the house, my nails will be dry.
GERMAN SHEPHERD: I’ll change it as soon as I’ve led these people from the dark , checked to make sure I haven’t missed any, and make just one more perimeter patrol to see that no one has tried to take advantage of the situation.
COCKER SPANIEL: Why change it? I can still pee on the carpet in the dark.
DOBERMAN: While it’s dark, I’m going to sleep on the couch.
BOXER: Who cares? I can still play with my squeaky toys in the dark……
CHIHUAHUA: Yo quiero Taco Bulb.
IRISH WOLFHOUND: Can somebody else do it? I’ve got this hangover….
POINTER: I see it, there it is, there it is, right there….
GREYHOUND: It isn’t moving. Who cares?
YORKSHIRE TERRIER: I’m over qualified, have the boxer do it!
OLD ENGLISH SHEEP DOG: Light bulb? I’m sorry, but I don’t see a light bulb?
SCHNAUZER: Bark bark bark. Mom, the lightbulb is out…bark bark bark bark…MOM! I said the lightbulb is out! Bark bark bark bark bark…MOM!!! WHAT PART OF THAT DIDN’T YOU HEAR? I MEAN HELLO????
SHIH TZU - Who me change a light bulb? We are royal decedents and we have staff to do that for us.
CATS: Dogs do not change light bulbs. People change light bulbs. So, the question is: How long will it be before I can expect light?
