TOP TEN IS MISSION IMPOSSIBLE
Here I Am...A Cavi Standing...Unlisted
Woof,, Kids!
I am getting right to it today, kids. We have yapped about this previously, but this ridiculous competition must END!!!! I'm mostly talking 'bout canines in this instance, but we all know it translates, quite nicely, to people. It is not the time for the world to be focusing on "one-upping" anything, and this includes, dogs, cats, canaries and people. For the love of Lassie, people. STOP.
Okay, a couple of months ago we had to hear about "most popular" dog breeds, next came "ugliest dog" contest (which I just find sad), and now it's "smartest". People, this ridiculous competition is...ridiculous. It must end.
It doesn't matter, if your mutt is the top of the heap or bottom of the barrel in all these categories. It is so simple. Dog, person, being happy together. That is it!
This entire concept is insulting to me as I can not wrap my mind around lists of this nature. Categorizing animals into perfect little slots is absurd. Nor can I comprehend why bloggers all over the place are doing the same thing to people. Yep, you know it's true and it is vicious...this celeb or that celeb is too fat, too thin, too ugly, too pretty, too whatever...it's just distributing hate mongering, and the idea that perfection comes in certain packages.
Like people, dogs are not a "group". So, there you go. Honestly, this rant is not because sweet little Cavi's never make the grade. No, don't cry for the Cavi's, most do quite well. It's just that when I read these lists I can not help but think how ridiculous it is, like slam-books for dogs. It is impossible to lump dogs, people or any living creature together as though they were one and the same. Please.
If you missed the Top Ten Smartest Dogs list...good. But it you must read it...go find it yourself. However, I will give you The Diva-Dog's own, personal top ten list. It's no dumber than any other.
Top Ten Dumbest Dog-Related Things People Do Relating To Dog Lists:
- Compile dumb lists of "smartest " dogs
- Compile dumb lists of "best dogs"
The Diva loathes anything akin to "profiling". So, I say...woof 'em.
Mutts and pups, it's so much better to focus on mindless and harmless gossip, you know...like we dish here, and just believe that all dogs and all pets are "tops". Yeah, we're really swell being...unlisted.
Now, here's wishing all dumb lists would just self-destruct in ten seconds...well, we WANT them to, but we fully realize that is Mission Impossible in this list-crazy world.
Bark at me!!
Well said, or is it barked, or really is it pawed? Whichever it is, we don't care...we just agree! Imagine if everyone making those lists did something productive...scary thought!

Said, barked or pawed...we need to be kinder to each other...in so many ways. I truly believe the small movement regarding all that is bitchy (and not in a dog way) on the internet is coming full-circle. The constant judging the merits of others looks, style, choice of this and that has got to end. It is so like the universe has dumbed-down and we are all back in Jr. High. Thanks, as always, for reading and taking the time to comment. Hope you are doing okay today from the spill you took yesterday. Have a howlin' weekend.

Hey, Diva. It's Bitsy again. I know what you mean about all of these lists
and dumb competitions. The only competition at my doggy-digs is whose lap I'm going to sit on. That isn't a competition really, it's more options.
Mutts don't care about who is the smartest, ugliest, etc.,etc. All we care about is being loved for who and what we are, loving, giving, companions. That is what we all do best.
Keep up the marvy work you do for our world (well, peeps world too). You are the greatest.
High paws and tail wags to you. Bitsy
P.S. Tell Moolie to get Zippy out of the closet and let him breath. Ha-Ha-Ha.
