TOP5 PETS HAS MOVED
Dreadful sorry about the intrusive Tripod ads. We have pulled up stakes and moved to an ad-free environment*.Join us in our new space by closing the panel on the left then clicking this link:
If the unwanted sidebar window on the left opens up along with it, you can get rid of the offending portion by clicking the "x" in its upper right-hand corner. Click on the actual window on the left, not on the explanatory graphic below.
* Ok, there are a few small ads at the bottom of the main page, BUT Top5 Pets directly benefits from them. We keep them unobtrusive.

The Top 10 Reasons Pets Aren't Welcome in Opera Houses
10> PETA may approve of the wanton mauling of fur stoles, but
management frowns on it.
9> Every production of "Das Rheingold" and "Barber of Seville"
is ruined by cwazy wabbits.
8> Snakes hiss in all the wrong parts.
7> They always let their cell phones ring through the arias.
6> All that hissing, scratching, howling and snooty behavior?
Those divas are a bad influence on cats!
5> Border Collies always try to herd performers wearing horned
helmets.
4> Obnoxious felines are always heckling the performers to
"do 'Memory', man!"
3> Canine stagehands keep forgetting that they're supposed
to use *tape* to mark stage locations.
2> Ushers refuse to handle drool-soaked tickets.
and the Number 1 Reason Pets Aren't Welcome in Opera Houses...
1> Parrots yell "Bravo!" when "Brava!" or "Bravi!" is appropriate.

Reasons Pets Aren't Welcome in Opera Houses
RUNNERS UP list -- Aria 51
------------------------------------------------------------------
Because most dogs lack the necessary cultural and educational
background to appreciate the artistic beauty of opera. That and
they piss on the curtains.
(James Knowles, Bellingham, WA)
Broken glass from goldfish bowls shattered by sustained high
notes deemed too great an insurance risk.
(Melanie Stephens, Manassas, VA)
Dogs always want to eat the cake during "The Wedding of Figaro."
(Dawson E. Rambo, Santa Rosa, CA)
Dogs playing poker? Cool! Dogs singing TOSCA?? Dude!
You just harshed my buzz.
(Mary Ann McDonald, Sacramento, CA)
Ever try to find a tux to fit a St. Bernard?
(Dawson E. Rambo, Santa Rosa, CA)
Instead of purchasing drinks in the lobby during intermission,
dogs rush to the restrooms and monopolize the toilet bowls.
(Melanie Stephens, Manassas, VA)
Pavarotti vowed to never again appear with "that scene-stealing
monkey bastard."
(Judith E. Cottrill, Bronx, NY)
The "Queen of the Night" aria is always taken as a challenge
by all the dogs in the audience to howl higher, longer, and
faster, and it really, really pisses off the prima donna when
they win.
(Susanne Turner, Louisville, KY)
(Judith E. Cottrill, Bronx, NY)
Turtles faint at the sight of the Sydney Opera House.
(Peter Casper, Brisbane, Australia)
They can't afford the ticket price.
