Rule #793 (Beginning of Theme Month & Why Dogs Are Man's Best Friends Week)

It's time for another theme month, and, to celebrate my coming initiation into dog ownership this weekend, I'm kicking it off with a week of rules about why dogs are man's best friend.

Why Dogs Are Man's Best Friends Rule #1:

Dogs are loyal.

Rule #749

Sometimes rules have to be broken to say what you want to say.

Rule #745

Pacemaker or not, you probably shouldn't be allowed to portray Darth Vader if you've never seen Star Wars.

Rule #744

Waking up before the sun isn't easy, but is also occasionally necessary.

Rule #694

Adorable pictures make all of life's problems seem less important, if only for a moment.

Rule #693

Kindness should always be welcome, especially when it comes from where you least expect it.

Rule #320

You can never have too many friends. Except on Facebook.

Rule #208

Everybody needs somebody (or something) to love.

Rule #78

Rule #8

Never wear a toupee. You're not fooling anyone, and you should be happy with who you are.
