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'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. * 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. * 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 shady trees. * 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. * Bond with your pack. * Delight in the simple joy of a long walk. * If you stare at someone long enough, eventually you'll get what you want. * Don't go out without ID. * When you do something wrong, always take responsibility (as soon as you're dragged out from under the bed!). * If it's not sloppy, it's not a real kiss. * If at first you don't succeed, whine real loud. * Don't settle for cheap food. * Play nicely with others, but remind them that it's your toy. * Rainy days are best spent indoors. * When a loud thunderstorm comes at night, and the ones you need to impress with your bravery are asleep, it's okay to hide under the bed.
