Canine Life Rules If dogs could teach us we would learn things such as: · When loved ones come home. Always run to greet them · Never pass up the opportunity for a joyride · Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy · When it's in your best interest - practice obedience · Let others know when they have invaded your territory · Take naps and stretch before rising · Run, romp and play daily · 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 on the grass · On hot days, drink lots of water and lay under a shady tree · When you are happy, dance and wag your entire body · No matter how often you are scolded, don't buy into the guilt thing and run right back in and make friends · Delight in the simple joy of a long walk · Eat with gusto and enthusiasm. Stop when you have had enough · Be loyal · Never pretend to be something 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. Applying the above lessons to your life should make it a little less RUFF! |
