It’s puppy breath were addicted to. If they bottled that scent, well…it’s all over. We’re doomed. ---

I’m in the process of teaching my dog Bayliss to use buttons to speak. You would not believe his existential thoughts. I’m doing my part. I have to say there are some smart doggies, some tough dogs. And some real dumb butts. I don’t think I want a whippet running(pun intended) things. There’s a bunch of air in there. ---

Sorry, but Labradors can’t be judges. They’d be far too distracted by the scent of a bologna sandwich someone sneaked into the courtroom 20 years earlier. ---

> [@Dewey\_Finn](#): > > They are going to be stymied by the ease with which they can be distracted by squirrels. But then again, if the ruling class isn’t preoccupied by anything of greater import than chasing squirrels and finding the right spot to pee, this would be a better world.

I think the Siberian Huskies will be in overall charge. You can tell from their eyes that they are up for none of your shit. > **[Google Image Result for...](https://www.google.com/share.google?q=images%2Fjdzp1wTBmqjt0wHeE)** ---

I wouldn’t believe a thing a Schnauzer would say. They are lazy little dogs, pretending to be active. Steal your food and act like they are asleep. ---
