If Pets Had Thumbs Day

According to the internet, today is “If Pets Had Thumbs Day”! We brainstormed a list of the good, bad, and ugly that could happen if our pets were to have opposable thumbs.

The Good:

• Help us tie our shoes
• Your dog could throw the ball back at you
• Hold your hand
• Play board games with you
• Carry their own poo bags
• Write us a letter

The Bad:

• Tie our shoelaces together
• Cats could open their own canned food
• Dogs could open boxes of treats
• Open cabinets and drawers
• Work the TV remote

The Ugly:

• Unlock and open doors (and escape!)
• Open the fridge
• Turn knobs, such as faucets or oven
• Start the car
• Work a lighter
