Invincible Butt Sniffers.

Besides doctors who win the lottery, do you know what is ironic?  Dogs.  In particular their health.  My dog drinks from the toilet while I sip bottled water from a pure mountain stream.  He can eat a rotten chipmunk but the Surgeon General suggests cooking steak until it’s unrecognizable.  I have to wear earmuffs but he rolls around in the snow completely naked (spare the collar).  And yet I get sick more often than my dog does.  Doesn’t this seem odd?  My dog once ate an entire Sears catalog. I got sick after accidentally eating a napkin.  Furthermore, I wash my hands after doing any kind of activity that involves touching anything other than a sterile cotton ball.  Dogs, on the other hand, shove their noses up each other’s butts!  And if this weren’t satisfying enough, they “clean” themselves by licking their own parts.  By what laws of nature does this work?  If something is so bad that they don’t want it on their genitalia, then why in the world would they want to make a meal out of it?  And speaking of meals…  Why do I require six servings a day from the bread and cereal group while Sparky eats dried pellets of horse by-products and he’s as happy as a clam? (I can say this because I have several friends that are clams.)

Forget those tubeworms that live on the ocean floor, the common canine is a real biological mystery.  Do you know that I have not once heard my dog complain about a headache?  This is pretty amazing since I get a headache at just the thought of sniffing my mailman’s butt.

(Now I’m talking about average mixed-breed dogs here.  I am aware of certain breeds that do have medical problems.  For example, my sister has a Cocker Spaniel and her right eye keeps popping out (the dog’s eye, not my sister’s).)

I hope that this article doesn’t set off any kind of revolutionary lifestyle change for anyone.  I don’t think I have anything to worry about though, most people know that the Surgeon General suggests cooking rotten chipmunk for at least five minutes on each side.
