A Dog's Life - Great Advice
If a dog was the teacher you would learn stuff like:
- When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
- Never pass the opportunity to go for a joyride.
- Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure extacy.
- When it's in your best interest, practice obedience.
- Let others know when they've invaded your territory.
- Take naps.
- 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 in the grass.
- On hot days, drink lots of water and lie 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 simple joy of a long walk.
- Eat with gusto and enthusiasm. Stop when you've 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.
