No couches on outside porches? What, are there no colleges with off-campus housing in that town?

I like the idea of giving dogs notice. You never know. Maybe they can read!

I'm not sure I disagree with the ordinance forbidding hurling missiles at cars...

Bloggers said...

These are funny! My dad's horse will be very upset that he cannot go upstairs when we visit Colorado.

That last one in Denver is really funny. It would be kind of nice if they actually obeyed this law...that way someone could try to take the dogs in (as long as they were non-violent)
