Happy New Year!

Scout and everyone at Dog Diaries would just like to wish all our readers a very happy and prosperous new year. Here’s hoping that 2010 is everything you want it to be.

Of course, at this time of year, it’s traditional to make resolutions for the year ahead. You know the sort of thing: lose weight, quit smoking, tell all your friends about Dog Diaries so that they can enter the competitions and read the many interesting articles planned for this year! That sort of thing…

But what about New Year’s Resolutions for dogs? Well, we found this online and thought you might enjoy it. Feel free to let us know your own dog-related resolutions and don’t forget to come back next week for brand-new content.

New Year’s Resolutions for dogs

1.    I will not play tug-of-war with Dad’s underwear when he’s on the toilet.
2.    I do not need to suddenly stand straight up when I’m lying under the coffee table.
3.    I will not roll my toys behind the fridge.
4.    I must shake the rainwater out of my fur BEFORE entering the house.
5.    I will stop trying to find the few remaining pieces of clean carpet in the house when I am about to be sick.
6.    I will not eat any more socks and then redeposit them in the backyard after processing.
7.    I will remember that the garbage collector is not stealing our stuff.
8.    I will not chew crayons or pens, especially not the red ones, or my people will think I’m haemorrhaging.
9.    When in the car, I will not insist on having the window rolled down when it’s raining outside.
10.    I will not chew my human’s toothbrush and not tell them.
