Here are a few things I’ve never understood about humans:

Males scrape what little fur they have off their faces every morning—even in winter.

Both males and females wash all the good scents off their bodies every morning and end up smelling like—like soap! But the females don’t stop there. They rub smelly oil all over their bodies and put stinky water behind their ears. When they’re done, there’s nothing left of their good smells.

I’ve never seen a human sniff another’s butt. How do they recognize one another? And they greet one another by throwing their arms around each other. What’s that about?

They spend hours in front of a flickering light box, often sleeping. It must be some kind of sleep aid. We, of course, can sleep pretty much anywhere, any time.

Humans take forever to eat their food—I can finish my dinner, go for a run, take a nap and be back for pre-wash before they get up from their table.

They trim their nails then use hard metal tools to dig holes. Why not leave their nails alone and dig holes the way we do?

Dogs mark their territory in a very simple and direct way. Humans put up boards filled with their special symbols. How do they expect that to work?

Thought for the month: Remember, humans may be strange, but at least they can open a can of food.
