How many dogs does it take to change a light bulb?
Golden Retriever: 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?
Border Collie: Just one. And then I'll replace any wiring that's not
up to code.
Dachshund: You know I can't reach that stupid lamp!
Rottweiler: Make me.
Boxer: Who cares? I can still play with my squeaky toys in the
dark.
Lab: Oh, me, me!!!! Pleeeeeeeeze let me change the light bulb!
Can I? Can I? Huh? Huh? Can I? Pleeeeeeeeze, please, please, please!
German Shepard: 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
just one more perimeter patrol to see that no one has tried to take
advantage of the situation.
Jack Russell Terrier: I'll just pop it in while I'm bouncing off the
walls and furniture.
Old English Sheep Dog: Light bulb? I'm sorry, but I don't see a
light bulb.
Cocker Spaniel: Why change it? I can still pee on the carpet in the
dark.
Pointer: I see it, there it is, right there…
Greyhound: It isn't moving. Who cares?
Australian Shepherd: First, I'll put all the light bulbs in a little cir-
cle….
Poodle: 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.
The Cat's Answer: Dogs don't 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?
