Dog House Blog, 10 boredom busting things to do!

My top ten boredom busting things to do!

Dogs 'catch' yawns from people and it's five times more likely to happen if it's their owner. Talking about yawning, being alone at home is so boring that stifling a yawn is near impossible. Here is my top ten things to do to curb boredom.

Number 10 Karaoke, a bit of howling to the radio can be a break from the monotony of being stuck indoors. Favourites include, ‘All By Myself’, ‘Alone Again Naturally’, and ‘Left Outside Alone’. A good gargle with chicken soup will keep those vocal cords in top tune.

Number 9 Gardening, a good dig of the flower beds is stimulating for the nose and gives you a bit of exercise at the same time. I dig, you dig, we dig, he digs, she digs, they dig", It's not a beautiful poem, but it's very deep.

Number 8 Sleeping, a bit of shut eye does you good. I can sleep if I’m tired, I can sleep when I’m not, I can sleep when I’m cold, I can sleep when I’m hot, I can sleep when I’m happy, I can sleep when I’m funny, I just can’t sleep on an empty tummy!

Number 7 Roaming, roam the house,

Oh, give me a home where I can roam
With the slippers and shoes I can play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And alone I can chew all day
Home, home on the range
With the mobiles and remotes I can play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And alone I can chew all day

Number 6 Shredding, shred the toilet paper, the ‘Andrex’ puppy does not have sole right to the toilet rolls. Remember the advert ‘soft, strong, and very long’, so try it and see how far you can get with it tied to your tail. If you’ve tried that and still need something to do, try chewing the mail, particularly those unwanted bills

.

Number 5 Running, run all the way to the top of the house and back down again repeatedly. For extra fun

leave the back door open and wait till the cat next door ventures in and start the process over again. Beware of skidding rugs!

Number 4 Raid the bin in the kitchen, like Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark, there is always good stuff to find if you look hard enough. Memorable trophy finds include, bone from leg of lamb, yoghurt carton and stale cheese. Seek and ye shall find!

Number 3 Making the bed, help your human by re-making the bed properly. To do this turn clockwise in a circle at least twenty times, making sure the bedding comes with you. At the end, the bed should look like Mount Everest and with that climb to the top and have a little nap, you deserve it.

Number 2 Play with wallet/purse, there have been many a good time had chewing credit cards, membership cards and money. This helps your human cut down on spending so don’t be timid, just go for it. Do not forget that plastic is not good for you, but leather has plenty of nutrients and is good for your teeth.

And pop pickers at 

Number 1 Neighbourhood Watch, sit by the window and bark at anything that comes by. Remember homeland security is an important issue and make sure your human knows you’re up for the job. Leave large amounts of slobber on the window, scratch marks on the paint work and dog hair all over the upholstery. Your human will appreciate your dedication.

And so endeth Molly’s Boredom Busters!
