Some Things I learned From My Dog
# When loved ones come home always run to greet
them with joy.
# When it’s in your best interest, practice obedience.
# Take naps and stretch before rising.
# Run, romp and play daily.
# Be loyal.
# Never pretend to be something your not.
# If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
# When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit
close by and nuzzle them gently.
# Thrive on being faithful and let people touch you.
# Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
# On very hot days, drink lots of water and lay under
a shady tree.
# When you are happy, dance around and wag your
entire body.
# No matter how often you’re scolded, don’t buy into
the guilt and pout thing, run right back and make
friends.
# Bond with your pack.
# Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
