Wanted: Good Home for a (Sometimes) Good Dog

"Family at their wits end is seeking a good home for precocious, strong-willed, sometimes loving, often fussy, pure bred male dog. Good home is one that will adhere to a tight schedule and a predictable routine that revolves around dog's needs only. Dog listens in an "I'll take that into consideration" kind of way, has a great education, lives for hunting, tolerates humans in the off-season, is wildly stubborn in a Grumpy Old Men sort of way, and indulges in excessive personal grooming. He's impeccably clean, often rising in the hour before dawn to primp himself for the day and enjoys getting his teeth brushed and ears cleaned. Please call, if interested, and I will arrange an appointment for the dog to interview you to see if you meet his standards."

Me and Bodie took the dogs for a walk this morning which is a wonderful way to start the day--unless all you are doing is yelling "Bueller, come", "Come here!", "Mother (bleep)er! Get the (bleep) over here!" Hence, leading me to compose this want ad in my head between screams of frustration.
