1. I will eat less and exercise more. Sometimes.
2. I will beg less … unless it’s in my best interest and I’m looking really cute that day.
3. I will recognize the difference between furniture and fire hydrants. Most of the time.
4. I’ll stay out of the cat’s litter box even though it’s way fun and drives the cat nuts to see me in it.
5. I will be more tolerant of the vet. Yeah, right.
6. I won’t steal food as much … but all bets are off if it’s right there in front of me.
7. I’ll introduce myself in more appropriate ways to my humans’ friends – keeping my friendliness above the waist.
8. I’ll do better “holding it” until morning, unless special considerations apply. I’ll decide what those specials considerations are.
9. I’ll bark at the mailman less although it works for both of us: keeps him on his toes and gives my self-esteem a boost when he retreats.
10. I’ll tolerate those home-made bandanas more even though I have to put up with the taunts of the other dogs.
