My dog fetches the paper.

Unfortunately, it belongs to the neighbor across the road! I've tried swatting her with it and lacing one with cayenne pepper. Nothing seems to stop her.

2. Not funny!
She knows she's not supposed to. When she sees me walk toward the paper she hunkers down like she knows she's done bad but can't quite seem to stop herself. Aaaargh!

8. Obviously, you're a very smart lady.
Oh, and just remember: if you get too drunk, when you drive home you want to drive really, really fast so that the cops can't catch you!

9. lol - hippywife
you must hear my story; an old boyfriend way back, he moved with his lab retriever to the Dallas metroplex after living for years on a rural Kentucky farm; his dog had always retrieved the paper from the long driveway on the farm....his first night in the metroplex, my boyfriend woke up to find not only had is dog breeched the inadequate fencing in the backyard, he had accumulated NINETEEN NEWSPAPERS on the front porch. As my ex said, well, at least he got to meet his new neighbors. :D

10. That is funny, Skittles!
Did he ever break the dog of the habit or did he just get better fencing?
