Before you get a puppy, take the Puppy Test

    Before you get a puppy, take the Puppy Test.

    — Best taken in the autumn or mid winter.

     

    Buy a lead and tie it to a big stone, walk around dragging the stone behind you.

     

    Get up at 5am, go out in the pouring rain and walk up and down a muddy path, repeating good girl/boy, wee wees…poo poos, quickly please

     

    Stuff your pockets with plastic bags and pick up all the poo you can find, obviously not your dogs as you have not bought it yet ??

     

    Start wearing your shoes indoors, especially during muddy times

     

    Collect leaves off the ground and spread them on the floor

     

    Carry sticks and branches indoors and chop them up on your carpet

     

    Pour cold apple juice on the rug and floor….walk barefooted over it in the dark

     

    Drop some chocolate pudding on your carpet in the morning and then try to clean it in the evening

     

    Wear socks to which you have made holes using a blender

     

    Jump out of your favorite chair just before the movie ends and run to open the back door

     

    Cover all your best clothes with dog hair, dark clothes with blond hairs and light clothes with dark hairs

     

    Tip all just ironed clothes on the floor

     

    Make little pin holes in all your furniture, especially chair and table legs

     

    When doing dishes, splash water all over the place and don’t wipe it.

     

    Spread toilet paper all over the house when you leave the house and tidy up when you get back home

     

    Forget any impulse holidays and/or breaks

     

    Always go straight home after work or school

     

    Go for walks no matter what the weather, and inspect every dirty paper, chewing gum and dead fly you might find

     

    Stand at your back door at five in the morning shouting, “Bring Mr Bumble and Mr Lion in, its raining.”

     

    Wake up at 3am. Place a correct size bag of flour on top of yourself and try to sleep, whilst wiping your face with a dishcloth, which you have left next to your bed in a bowl last week.
    Repeat everyday over 6 months and if you still think getting a puppy sounds like a good idea,…

     

    Congratulations, you might be ready to get your puppy!
