Dogs Save You Money


Living can be expensive, don't we all know!
By the time you add up the bills, there is nothing left to show.
Well, I have a solution, I'm telling you, honey!
Get yourself a dog and start saving some money.
 
Let him lick your face clean in the morning and after each meal,
don't worry you'll get used to it; it's not a big deal.
You may think it's disgusting and utterly gross,
but you'll find it well worth it, once the savings on your water bill shows.
 
You can save big on your power bill, too,
if you follow the advice I have for you.
In the winter go ahead and turn off the heat,
snuggle up with your dog, he'll keep you warm from head to feet.

And in the summer, get him exited if you can,
and his tail will act like a personal fan.
One word of advice, write it down if you please,
this doesn't apply to bobtails or rotties.

Cable is a must but the cost is huge,
go ahead, shut it off and be entertained by your pooch.
I used to be hooked on the animal channel,
now I watch my dogs live sitting on the couch in my flannel.
 
If it's horror you want, look into the mailman's eyes,
when Ziggy charges to the door, catching him by surprise.
For the sports fanatic, he'll do it all,
from skateboarding and racing to playing some ball.
 
If you're feeling up to a good hearty laugh,
now that you're without cable, a dog is a must have.
That pretty much sums it up for the utilities,
but that's not where the saving stop, heavens no, please!

If you're thinking to join a health club cause you put on some weight,
keep your money in your pocket, cause a dog works just great.
He'll run with you and never tire,
not to mention the fact that he is ready to go, whenever you desire.

 If a dating service is what you need,
save your mullah my friend, cause for this purpose a dog can't be beat.
The guys will come flocking to you to give Fido a scratch,
just keep your eyes open, till you find the right catch.

And if you're troubled and feeling low,
it's your dog to the rescue, I'm telling you so.
He'll listen forever, the sessions are free
and he's by far the best therapy.

Don't go spending your cash on the latest security alarm,
cause with a dog in the house, who would dare do you harm.
So you see, honey, this is all bound to add up;
so sit down and relax and enjoy your pup.
