Dogs will take long walks or go jogging with you. Cats will stay home and lick themselves.

Dogs will let you give them a bath without taking out a life insurance policy on yourself.

Dogs eat their food with relish and zest, then thank you profusely. Cats sniff their food, take a couple bites, then turn and walk away because you haven't spent $3.50 a can on some gourmet blend of salmon, lobster and crab.

Dogs will bark to wake you up if the house is on fire. Cats will quietly sneak out the back door.

Dogs will bring you your slippers or the evening newspaper. Cats might bring you a dead mouse.

Dogs will play Frisbee with you all afternoon. Cats will take a three-hour nap.

Dogs will sit on the car seat next to you. Cats have to have their own private box or they won't go at all.

Dogs will greet you and lick your face when you come home from work. Cats will be mad that you went to work at all.

Dogs will sit, lie down, and heel on command. Cats will smirk and walk away.

Dogs will tilt their heads and listen whenever you talk. Cats will yawn and close their eyes.

Dogs will lie at your feet while you read or watch TV. Cats will lick themselves for hours, then hack up a fur ball for you to clean up.

Dogs will give you unconditional love forever. Cats will make you pay for every mistake you've ever made since the day you were born.

If a neighbor gives your dog a treat, that person is a friend for life. If a neighbor gives your cat a treat, your cat says "Sayonara.....it's been nice knowing you."

1/2 cup barbecue sauce 1 can (12 ounces) beer, half-full of beer 1 tablespoon dried basil 2 teaspoons paprika 1/2 teaspoon onion powder 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 3/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper One 3- to 3 1/2-pound chicken

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Add the barbecue sauce to the half-full can of beer. In a small bowl, combine the basil, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper; mix well and rub evenly over the chicken. Place the cavity of the chicken over the beer can so that the chicken is sitting on the can, then place on the rack in the center of the grill.

Cover the grill and cook for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, or until no pink remains and the juices run clear. Carefully pour the remaining sauce from the can into a bowl, and serve with the chicken.

NOTE: This can also be made with nonalcoholic beer or, for a different flavor, you could use a half-filled can of lemonade and rub the chicken with lemon-pepper seasoning. Cooking time will vary depending on the grill used."OOH IT'S SO GOOD!!®"
