Why Do They Call It "Being in the Doghouse"?

Today I was thinking about all of the negative human expressions that men and women use to express bad things in their life.  For example, it really bothers me when I hear humans use the expression, "so-and-so is really in the doghouse" to refer to someone being in trouble.  The expression has all kinds of negative connotations in the human world, but really it makes very little sense.  Take it from a pup who knows!

After all, I love being in the doghouse!  This place is great!  I can use my laptop, watch television, listen to music, run around, play with Gomar, Blue Bear, and Seal, or just kick back and chew on a bone.  Being in the doghouse is freaking awesome!

I therefore propose to humans the expression "being in the doghouse" no longer be used to imply that someone is in trouble, has done something bad, or in general is not in a good place with another person.  Instead, I suggest that the expression be used to refer to someone being all set in life.  Example: "Wow, check out that guy!  He has his life together... really in the doghouse!"

I think that this change in expression would really help people stop looking down on dogs' homes, which are just as varied and unique as human homes.  Instead of always referring to a dog's house in a negative manner, perhaps this positive change would make people think more highly of other phrases as well.  "Working like a dog" could become a positive expression instead of one that makes humans shudder and tuck their metaphorical tails.  "Can't teach an old dog new tricks" could come to stand for the proposition that wisdom is gained with years, and that youngsters cannot get away with things.  "His bark is worse than his bite" could come to represent the eloquence of a speaker, instead of the cowardly connotations that it currently has.

Plus, we would avoid hurting the feelings and making puppies around the world from learning to think in bad ways about themselves, their lives, their homes, and their species.  Don't you think this is a worthwhile goal?
