The Rules - Revised

I had some good input from my buddies, so I have revised the rules


Rule number one: When in doubt, wash.


Rule number two: If rule one does not apply, nap.

Rule Number Three - if rules 1 and 2 are complete, eat.


Rule Number Four - Meditate as needed.
I think this is enough rules. Don't want life to get too complicated.

  1. Rule #3 - when Rules 1&2 are complete, eat. - Miles

    You looks like you is hafing a furry happy dream!

  2. Miles beat me to it - I was going to say, what about the most important rule (for me) - EAT???? But when one has a nice full stomach, your two rules are very important, Derby!

  3. I like those rules, I think we all should abide by them at all times.

    in fact.... I think Rule #2 might need to go into effect right now...

  4. Derby, I love your philosophy in life. I'd like to add #3- eat which can be applied as needed.

    You look so comfy (and meowmy says CUTE!)

  5. I think Rule #3 is meditate. Works for me.....

  6. Hi Derby. When Jasmine saw Rule #1 she wondered if you had made this up yourself, or if you had already read the book 'Jennie' by Paul Gallico. Check out this note about the book and in the review paragraph you will see this exact line!

  7. Oops. I meant to say '... also read the book...'.

    Jasmine read this book many years ago when she was a littler Jasmine. She really really liked it.

  10. Derby, I love the way you make things seem so simple. We all just need to learn to go with the flow, that's what my Mom always says.

    You are wise.

  11. I agree, too many rules would leave too little time for washing, napping, eating, and meditating.

  12. I'm embarrassed to tell you that my mom would kiss your footies like a million times, she says they are so cute. I think she needs to pay attention to the rules.

  13. #3 would be my #1, but other than that, you got it!

  14. I think for Mrs.B rule #1 is "when in doubt eat" and rule #2 is "if rule number #1 does not apply, eat some more"
