Pet Parents! Ralph here. I need a favor.
Are you a good pet parent? Sign the pledge that proves it.
It’s not hard to be a good dog parent. We don’t ask for much. Well, unless you’re eating a particularly tasty treat, then we may beg a little… But, like I was saying, being a dog parent isn’t that difficult.
We give you our everything. And in return, we only need you to do the following:
– You should understand that sticking my nose into someone’s crotch is my way of saying ‘hello’.
– You promise not to make me eat food from China, no matter how much I seem to like it.
– You will allow me to follow you into the bathroom and let me watch the flush.
– You understand that sometimes I like to stand halfway in and halfway out of an open door and just contemplate the world. I do my best thinking that way!
– You’ll take me to a veterinarian when I’m sick. As much as I hate going, I know he’s qualified to help me.
– You won’t scold me if I puke on the Oriental rug.
– You’ll keep telling me I’m a “good boy”. I love that! But, please stop making fun of my breath. Have you smelled your own breath lately?
– You promise to take me for daily walks. I need stimulation and it’s my favorite time for us to bond.
– You will teach me what’s right and wrong. I want to make you happy – but you’ll need to show me how!
– You will keep me forever. You won’t throw me away when I get old, or sick, or bigger than you thought I would.
– You’ll give me a warm, soft place to lay my head at night. Preferably in your bed, but I’ll be satisfied with a bed of my own.
– You will refill my bowl with fresh water every day! It doesn’t have to be that fancy stuff you drink, just clean and fresh.
– You promise to keep those itchy fleas off my fur and worms out of my belly, however it is you do that.
– My hormones are driving me crazy! Please have me neutered!

I took the pledge. This should be the only way to take care of your dog. My dog eats better than I do, but I don’t mind. He is my heart. Remember dog spelled backwards is God, who put animals on this earth for us to take care of and not be abused.
OMG our animals are our life we more then pledge. Those who don’t have a four legged animals are missing out on a life time of love laughter and joy I feel sorry for those people

Thank You Lord for Blessing Me as Only You Can!

Chris
says:I promise to take care and love both my babies as long as they are alive (and beyond). I have a Golden who is almost 12 years old and one who is 12 weeks old. We lost our 7 year old in January on his 7th birthday to cancer. We did everything we could for him including a midnight run to the emergency vet followed by 5 hours of surgery. He wasn’t in pain and we brought him home. We feel fortunate that he had another 12 happy days with us. We took him back to get the stitches out one to find he had more internal bleeding and spreading cancer. So we took him home and his regular vet came to help him, with his favorite blanket, to heaven. Same thing for the older dog. We often call her our $15,000 dog because when she was 3 (and then again 4) she had to have both her knees rebuilt. She can run with the best of them still. If this doesn’t prove my dedication to my pups, I don’t know what would. I love you Dory and Captain! And I love and miss you Rex.
Don Borchert

denise
says:I do that EVERY day. The only thing more important than my fur babies is my husband and some days he doesn’t rate.
Andrea
says:I invented this pledge. HA! I go over the top for my dogs. Sometimes I treat them better than humans. They get great food, great treats, fresh water, sleep anywhere they want, even on my pillow and tons of love and kisses! My furry babies mean the world to me. I will probably need therapy when they cross over the rainbow bridge because they are my world.

Rick Chaffe
says:People can pledge anything they want. A pledge is only as strong as the desire to do the right thing. It is the doing that counts.
Nannette Marsh
says:I really don’t need to take a pledge either. Our dogs get the right food,( NOT from China)sleep in bed with us,go to the vet regularly,get their teeth brushed,nails clipped,get treats that I bake. We make sure none are overweight,they are checked for lumps and bumps, and at the first sign of trouble they go to the vet. We take them places in our van that we bought for them , and the 3 grandkids. We love them more than I can say, and they will be with us until they die.
Sherri Ronning
says:I pledge and promise to be a good Pet Parent and more!! I already have for 7 years and it’s so easy to do because my Snickers gives me so much in return!! I couldn’t pay him back for what he has given me in a 100 years! He’s been my friend & my family when everyone abandoned me! So I will NEVER abandon him and he will always have the very best I can give him right up to the very last moment we have together on this earth! We Are Fur-Ever Family!! :~)~
