How does a dog change a lightbulb?

• Henna:
  First I will bark at the light bulb to scare it into working again. Then I will get a chair to be closer to it and bark and growl some more. If all that doesn't help I will find all spare light bulbs in the house and check if they all work. Then I will bring it to my humans and ask them which one they want. Then I will put in the one I liked best anyway. And since tidying things up is really boring I will just leave the other spare bulbs on the floor for the humans to tidy up.
• Laika (at eight weeks):
  Change the lightbulb? Sure! I'll just run there! What did I want to do again? Oh, right! Something with a lamp. Oh, right, LIGHTBULB! Hm,... changing it is boring. I will make it play with me! I will bite it until it plays with me! Oh, it STILL doesn't play with me! Stupid thing. If I get another lightbulb and bite that, will THAT play with me? What was I meant to again?
  
• Golden Retriever:
  
  • The sun is shining, the day is young, we've got our whole lives ahead of us, and you're inside worrying about a stupid burned out bulb?
  • I'll be glad to change the light bulb for you, but first can't we play catch with the tennis ball, or frisbee - and then I want to lick your face and rest my head in your lap and look up at you with my sad eyes. What, you're changing the light bulb yourself - you didn't have to do that - but I looooove you so much for being my friend and doing that.
• Border Collie:
  
  • I can do it just as quickly and efficiently as any human can. And then I'll replace any wiring that's not up to code.
  • Ooooo! This is FUN, where are some more bulbs to change so I can see if I can do it FASTER! And now that I can do that, show me some that are HARDER!!! and HIGHER!!! and BRIGHTER!!!...

  • I'll herd it! I'll herd it! What do you mean, these don't come in flocks??!!
• Dachshund:
  
  • You know I can't reach that stupid lamp!
  • Well, first get me a ladder and a treat... no, you took too long. I want TWO treats and I'll do it... No, not that treat, the other kind. Geez... do I have to do everything?
  • I won't change the bulb, but I will dig the old bulb out of the trash and bury it here, no wait that's the wrong spot ...this is better, no, maybe over there...

  Go ahead! Make me!" I'd like to see you just try to!

  Why change it? I can still pee on the carpet in the dark.

  • Who cares? I can still play with my squeaky toys in the dark...
  • If I could stop wiggling my butt long enough to quit falling off the chair...

  We Mastiffs are NOT afraid of the dark.

  • I see it, the light bulb, there it is, there it is, right there....

  If it isn't moving, who cares?

  First, I'll put all the light bulbs in a little circle....

  Light bulb? What light bulb?

  What's wrong with a broken light-bulb? I think once I changed it I need to keep it in a safe case in case I need it again!

  If you need it done within the last three years, forget it!

• Czech Wolfdog:
  Let me see that light bulb, anyway. What's it made of, what's inside of it, what will happen if I drop it. I might change it, but let me think about it. You're not trying to tell me what to do, are you? Hey, I just had a great idea. I think I'll change that light bulb!
• German Shepherd:
  
  • I'm kinda busy right now! I have to chase the cat, protect the kids, herd the horses, beg for food and take a nap. I'll add the lightbulb to my 'to do' list...
  • All right, everyone stop where you are! Who busted the light? I SAID, "STOP WHERE YOU ARE!!!"
  • This would never happen. Light bulbs are replaced before they go out as part of the dog's routine monthly maintenance of the house.
• Belgian Shepherd:
  I've looked the problem over (I needed a good view, so I gracefully jumped on the dining room table for a look-see). And now will casually leap completely over the coffee table to balance easily on the back of the sofa to change that light bulb.

  • It isn't moving. Who cares?
  • Can somebody else do it? I've got this hangover.....
• Leonberger:
  The light bulb needs changing? Hmmm I think I'll take a brief nap and contemplate the problem. With luck the Border Collie will change the light bulb, rewire the house, redo the plumbing and program the VCR so that I won't miss any agility on Animal Planet...
• Papillon:
  The bulb is burned out? I couldn't tell from under the covers.
• Shetland Sheepdog:
  
  • It takes three of them, one to do the job and two to bark incessantly and tell him what he is doing wrong.
