THINGS I MUST REMEMBER AS A DOG
1. The garbage collector is not stealing our stuff.
2. I do not need to suddenly stand straight up when I'm lying under the coffee table.

4. I must shake the rainwater out of my fur before entering the house.
5. I will not eat the cats' food, before they eat it or after they throw it up.
6. I will stop trying to find the few remaining pieces of clean carpet in the house when I am about to get sick.
7. I will not throw up in the car.
8. I will not roll on dead seagulls, fish, crabs, etc. just because I like the way they smell.
9. I will not munch on "leftovers" in the kitty litter box; although they are tasty, they are not food.
10. I will not eat any more Kleenex or napkins and then redeposit them in the backyard after processing.
11. The diaper pail is not a cookie jar.
12. I will not chew my humans' toothbrushes and not tell them.

14. When in the car, I will not insist on having the window rolled down when it's raining outside.
15. We do not have a doorbell. I will not bark each time I hear one on TV.
16. I will not steal my mom's thong underwear and dance all over the backyard with them.
17. The sofa is not a face towel. Neither are mom and dad's laps.
18. My head does not belong in the refrigerator.
19. I will not bite the officer's hand when he reaches in for mom's driver's license and car registration.
20. I will not play tug-of-war with dad's underwear when he's on the toilet.
21. I will not eat mint flavored dental floss out of the bathroom garbage; because I do not want a string hanging out of my butt.
22. I will not roll around in the dirt right after just getting a bath.
23. Sticking my nose into someone's crotch is not an acceptable way of saying hello.
24. I will not hump on any person's leg just because I thought they needed a good hump.
25. I will not fart in my owners' faces while sleeping on the pillow next to their head.
26. I will not come in from outside and drag my butt across the carpet.
27. The toilet bowl is not a never ending water supply and, just because the water is blue, it doesn't mean it is cleaner.
28. I will not sit in the middle of the living room and lick my crotch when company is over.
29. I will remember that suddenly turning around and smelling my butt can quickly clear a room.
30. The cat is not a squeaky toy so when I play with him and he makes that noise, it's usually not good thing.

History and Origin of the Airedale Terrier.
The Airedale terrier is a hunting dog, the largest member of the terrier group. Due to his size, diversified abilities and intelligence the Airedale also is widely known as "King of the Terriers". The Airedale originated in Great Britain, Yorkshire near the river Aire, from where the name was taken. The Airedale has only 150-year but smashing history. Hunting for otters, rats and martens was very popular in Great Britain in the 18th century. Small land owners had a lot of trouble with those vermin’s. So they were eager to get a dog able to hunt on land as well as near water. Crosses between the Otter-hound, English black and tan terrier and some other terriers resulted in a dogs which got later name Airedale terrier. Having inherited all distinguishing feature of terrier and being an excellent swimmer, Airedale was used to hunt otter, badgers, water rats, weasels, foxes, deer, and some Airedales were even known to tackle a grizzly bear. Originally the breed was known as the Waterside Terrier, later the Bingley Terrier, because there were many of them in Bingley village ,Yorkshire. In the end in 1886 English Kennels Club tagged the name Airedale to their book. In 1892 a club devoted to the Airedale breeding was created. The breeders started to pay more attention to the exterior. They won their way very quickly. The Airedale acquired the excellent exterior and disposition, became popular with the opulent English people and appeared the show rings. Soon the Airedale proved to be not only a hunting dog and a home pet but also a very good guard god, messenger and police dog. The Airedale were used during the First and Second world Wars as Messengers and couriers. Police in France, Russia and Great Britain also use these dogs for many duties. Temperament and Personality Airedales are intelligent, courageous, reliable and loyal. They have often been compared to clowns with their silly antics. Airedale Terriers are an athletic breed with energy and needs a lot of exercise. They fit in active families and make a good jogging partner. A wonderful playmate, an excellent watchdog, and companion!!
