“Things We Can Learn From Our Pet”
Never pass up an 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 our best interest, practice 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. Stop when you've had enough
Never pretend to be something you're 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 warm days, stop to lie on your back in the grass
On hot days, drink lots of water and lie 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 long walk
