How to have a happy pooch:
stay at home.. Don’t work – tempting.. But not feasible
get him a girlfriend – 2 dogs + empty home=messy house = 2 angry sisters
get him a brother from another mother– 2 male dogs + empty home = tornado-hit house = 2 weeping sisters

destruction Leave him at the neighbours’ – might have to pay for mental and
property damage Send him to obedience school – been there .. Done that.. Didn’t
work! Rent him out during the day – might breed confusion as to who his
real parents are Put him up for adoption –NOT AN OPTION.. I repeat…NOT AN
OPTION Leave him with the fishy-looking guards at the apartment next
door – there might be a chance of him making it to the Most Wanted list
Leave him with the cutie next door – he might move to the moon Change jobs for something more flexible– could be an option Tie him up and leave a doggie treat an inch away from him –
entertained not tormented! Pay my maid extra to take care of him – she might pay us double
