Ten Dog Rules

Our dog Rusty is delightful. Naturally! And he's pretty well behaved most of the time.

However, some would argue that he has his own way most of the time and is pretty close to having achieved the ultimate in the following list of dog rules, to which I linked a while back but am now posting here for posterity:

1. The dog is not allowed in the house.
2. Okay, the dog is allowed in the house, but only in certain rooms.
3. Ok, fine, the dog is allowed in all rooms, but has to stay off the furniture.
4. The dog can get on the old furniture only.
5. Fine, the dog is allowed on all the furniture, but is not allowed to sleep with the humans on the bed.
6. Okay, the dog is allowed on the bed, but only by invitation.
7. The dog can sleep on the bed whenever he wants, but not under the covers.
8. The dog can sleep under the covers by invitation only!
9. The dog can sleep under the covers every night.
10. Humans must ask permission to sleep under the covers with the dog.

And here's a photo to show you what an endearing fellow he is:
