THINGS WE CAN LEARN FROM A DOG
Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joy ride
Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy
When loved ones come home, always run to greet them
When it is in your best interest, practise obedience
Let others know when they have invaded your territory
Take naps and stretch before rising
Run, romp and play daily
Eat with gusto and enthusiasm
Be loyal
Never pretend to be some thing you are 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 attention and let people touch you
Avoid biting when a simple growl will do
On hot days, drink lots of water and lay under a shade tree
When you are happy, dance around and wag your entire body
No matter how often you are scolded, don't buy into the guilt thing and pout - run right back and make friends
Delight in the simple joy of a walk
