THINGS THAT 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's in your best
interest, always practice obedience.
Let others know when they've
invaded your territory.
Take naps and always stretch
before rising.
Run, romp, and play daily.
Eat with gusto and enthusiasm.
Be loyal.
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.
Delight in the simple joy of a
long walk.
Thrive on attention and let
people touch you.
Avoid biting when a simple
growl will do.
On hot days, drink lots of
water and lie under a shady tree.
When you are happy, dance
around and wag your whole entire body.
No matter how ofter you are
criticized, don't buy into the guilt thing and pout. Run right back and make
friends.
