Would you have a sense of humor if your Malinois...

• goes over the coffee table insteach of around to get to the couch, or over the back of the couch to get to the front
• puts holes in your clothes or hands when playing
• has more energy than you do
• missed biting your nose by inches (this is called "face clopping); you will develop fast reflexes
• mistakes your hose for a snake and won't let you fight that shovel, vacuum cleaner, or lawnmower all by yourself
• gives you a heart attack by leaping 5' off your deck at 4 months of age, or goes over your 6' fence as soon as your back is turned
• sucks your best sweater into its crate and eats it, and does it to your next best sweater because you forget to create a DMZ (Danger: Malinois Zone) around its crate
• bites you if you won't give it the ball
• flat foot jumps on a car, table, or kichen counter
• eats its water bucket more than once
• etc...
