What A Dog Teaches

A dog 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.
