How many dogs does it take to change a light bulb?<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Golden Retriever<\/u>: 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?<\/p>\n
Border Collie<\/u>: Just one. And then I’ll replace any wiring that’s not up to code. <\/p>\n
Dachshund<\/u>: You know I can’t reach that stupid lamp! <\/p>\n
Rottweiler<\/u>: Make me. <\/p>\n
Boxer<\/u>: Who cares? I can still play with my squeaky toys in the dark. <\/p>\n
Lab<\/u>: Oh, me, me!!!!! Pleeeeeeeeeze let me change the light bulb! Can I? Can I? Huh? Huh? Huh? Can I? Pleeeeeeeeeze, please, please, please!<\/p>\n
German Shepherd<\/u>: I’ll change it as soon as I’ve led these people from the dark, check to make sure I haven’t missed any, and make one more perimeter patrol to see that no one has tried to take advantage of the situation.<\/p>\n
Jack Russell Terrier<\/u>: I’ll just pop it in while I’m bouncing off the walls and furniture. <\/p>\n
Old English Sheep Dog<\/u>: Light bulb? I’m sorry, but I don’t see a light bulb. <\/p>\n
Cocker Spaniel<\/u>: Why change it? I can still pee on the carpet in the dark. <\/p>\n
Chihuahua<\/u>: Yo quiero Taco Bulb.<\/i> <\/p>\n
Pointer<\/u>: I see it, there it is, there it is, right there, see it, right there …<\/p>\n
Greyhound<\/u>: It isn’t moving. Who cares? <\/p>\n
Australian Shepherd<\/u>: First, I’ll put all the light bulbs in a little circle … <\/p>\n
Poodle<\/u>: 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.<\/p>\n
The Cat<\/u>: “Dogs do not change light bulbs. People change light bulbs. So, the real question is: how long will it be before I can expect some light, some dinner, and a massage? <\/p>\n
All of which proves, once again, that while dogs have masters, cats have staff.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
