A little humor for your Saturday! How many dogs and cats does it take to change a lightbulb? According to this little gem it depends on which breed you ask:
Golden Retriever: The sun is shining, the day is young, we&#8217;ve got our whole lives ahead of us, and you&#8217;re inside worrying about a burned out bulb?
Border Collie: Just one. And then I&#8217;ll replace any wiring that&#8217;s not up to code.
Chihuahua: We don’t need no stinking light bulb.
Dachshund: You know I can&#8217;t reach that stupid lamp!
Rottweiler: Make me!
Boxer: Who cares? I can still play with my squeaky toys in the dark.

<p>A little humor for your Saturday! How many dogs and cats does it take to change a lightbulb? According to this little gem it depends on which breed you ask:</p>
<p><strong>Golden Retriever:</strong> The sun is shining, the day is young, we&#8217;ve got our whole lives ahead of us, and you&#8217;re inside worrying about a burned out bulb?</p>
<p><strong>Border Collie:</strong> Just one. And then I&#8217;ll replace any wiring that&#8217;s not up to code.</p>
<p><strong>Chihuahua:</strong> We don’t need no stinking light bulb.</p>
<p><strong>Dachshund:</strong> You know I can&#8217;t reach that stupid lamp!</p>
<p><strong>Rottweiler:</strong> Make me!</p>
<p><strong>Boxer:</strong> Who cares? I can still play with my squeaky toys in the dark.</p>
<p><strong>Lab:</strong> Oh, me, me!!!!! Pleeeeeeeeeze let me change the light bulb! Can I? Can I? Huh? Huh? Huh? Can I? Please, please, please!</p>
<p><strong>German Shepherd:</strong> I&#8217;ll change it as soon as I&#8217;ve led these people from the dark, checked to make sure I haven&#8217;t missed any, and made just one more perimeter patrol to see that no one has tried to take advantage of the situation.</p>
<p><strong>Jack Russell Terrier:</strong> I&#8217;ll just pop it in while I&#8217;m bouncing off the walls and furniture.</p>
<p><strong>Old English Sheep Dog:</strong> Light bulb? I&#8217;m sorry, but I don&#8217;t see a light bulb!</p>
<p><strong>Cocker Spaniel:</strong> Why change it? I can still pee on the carpet in the dark.</p>
<p><strong>Greyhound:</strong> It isn&#8217;t moving. Who cares?</p>
<p><strong>Australian Shepherd:</strong> First, I&#8217;ll put all the light bulbs in a little circle&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Poodle:</strong> I&#8217;ll just blow in the Border Collie&#8217;s ear and he&#8217;ll do it. By the time he finishes rewiring the house, my nails will be dry.</p>
<p><strong>Corgi:</strong> Sure, problem. I&#8217;ll need a ladder. And a treat. Now hand me the bulb. And a treat. Take this burnt out one. Gimme a treat. And we&#8217;re done. I need a treat. And while you put away the ladder and throw out the old bulb, I&#8217;ll hoover the carpet looking for any crumbs I may have dropped. Look how clean this rug is. Gimme another treat.</p>
<p><strong>Boston terrier:</strong> You want me to do what? Change what light buld? That light bulb? Does it squeak? Are you sure? And your certain it&#8217;s that light bulb you what changed?</p>
<p><strong>Hound Dog:</strong> If you slept all night and most of the day like a sane person you would not need that stupid light.</p>
<p>&#8230;</p>

<p><strong>How many cats does it take to change a light bulb?</strong></p>
<p>Cats do not change light bulbs. People change light bulbs. So, the real question is: &#8220;How long will it be before I can expect some light, some dinner, and a massage?&#8221;</p>

The Early Show on CBS did a segment last week on the smartest and dumbest dog breeds. I&#8217;ve heard of some breeds not being as bright as others, I&#8217;m not sure what their criteria was.
Anyway, they say the dumbest breeds are:
1. Afghan Hound
2. Basenji
3. Bulldog
4. Chow Chow
5. Borzois
6. Bloodhound
7. Pekingese
8. Mastiff
9. Beagle
10. Basset hound
and the smartest are:
1. Border Collie
2. Poodle
3. German Shepherd
4. Golden Retriever
5. Doberman Pinscher
6. Shetland Sheepdog
7. Labrador Retriever
8. Papillon
9. Rottweiler
10. Australian Cattle Dog
Like I said, I&#8217;m not sure what they&#8217;re basing their rankings on exactly. I&#8217;ve known a pretty smart beagle and a dumb-as-a-box-of-rocks poodle so it&#8217;s a [...]<p>Post from: <a href="http://www.blisstree.com">Blisstree</a></p>

<p><strong>What do you think</strong> of the lists?</p>
