Life in the Slower Lane…

exerpts from the diary of Fawnie Fang

JULY 4th. Independence Day. Humans do make a big thing about independence, as if they invented it. It never occurs to them it is a very old concept, one invented by saluki bitches millennia ago. It is also a little known fact that humans borrowed their Bill of Rights from us. The Bitch Bill of Rights said:

1. The Right to freedom of speech (we can sing whenever we like.)

2. The Right to assemble peaceably (or not so peaceably.)

3. The Right to bear fangs (and use them when necessary.)

4. The Right to privacy on our beds, sofas and chairs, with no illegal search and

seizure of our toys or cookies.

5. The Right not to be punished twice for the same crime (which means we can't be

punished the second time we do it.)

6. The Right to be judged by our peers (only the bitches are our peers.)

7. The Right to suffer no cruel and unusual punishment (such as being deprived

of sofas and cookies.)

8. The Right to be judged fairly (and be believed when we say our brother did it.)

9. The Right to put our comfort first. (A prime consideration for bitches.)

10. The Right to have air conditioning in the summer, heat in the winter, color

TV, and numerous meals a day.

Through the millennia, the bitches have been the guardians of all salukis' rights. It is up to each and every bitch to see that none of the rights are ever lost.

It goes without saying that I do my part in guarding our rights. I admit, however, that I guard rights #9 and #10 more vigilantly than the rest, these days. But, as humans often say, age does have its privileges! ©
