Why couldn\u2019t we be the signatories on our own club bank account? Why does it have to be humans? Oh you might scoff. You might say things like \u2018how could they tell our paw prints apart?\u2019 But how exactly is it different to the days when human beings marked a cross and someone who could write witnessed it as being the mark of the person who did it? I think our account should have been set up with me and Guapo as the signatories and our owners to be the ones who witnessed our marks. It\u2019s degrading to have humans doing everything for us. It isn\u2019t even as though I have taken out an enduring power of attorney to give them the right to administer things on my behalf. The levels of inequality prevalent in society today are a disgrace.<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, people have fought for equality before the law, but it only goes so far. Two paws good, four paws bad and all that. We are viewed as lesser citizens just because we walk on four legs and have no opposable thumbs. Although to be fair, I don\u2019t see rights being given to monkeys either so we are not alone in our struggle. This is the twenty-first century. It\u2019s time to put your prejudices and your superiority away and embrace the change that\u2019s needed to put your best friends on an equal footing. Whilst we\u2019re at it, please could you sort out the inside toilets for us? Look at the positives. If we had an inside toilet you wouldn\u2019t have to keep getting up every time you\u2019d got comfortable and you wouldn\u2019t have endless mud and drafts through the house. It can only be a good thing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Don\u2019t get me started on the dogist society we live in.
