WHAT A DOG TEACHES US !!




A teaches us a lot of things, but we never seem to take notice. These are some of the lessons you might learn…

When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.

Never pass up the opportunity to go 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’ve 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’re happy dance around and wag your entire body.

No matter how often you’re 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.

Eat with gusto and enthusiasm, stop when you have had enough.

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.

Hi Friendly: That is just beautiful and so true. Why can't people start behaving more like dogs? One time my little 7 lb dog got in the garbage can when I was out and there was garbage all over the kitchen floor, plus she swallowed what was left including the bones from a whole barbecued chicken. I can't remember ever being so upset and I chased her around the kitchen with the broom yelling at her, but an hour later she forgave me for yelling and we carried on as usual.
