A Doggone Life

Today I came across some powerful tips that I thought were great:

Things We Can Learn from a Dog
1. Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joy ride
2. Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be
pure ecstasy.
3. When loved ones come home, always run and greet them.
4. When it’s in your best interest, practice obedience.
5. Let others know when they have invaded your territory.
6. Take naps and stretch before rising.
7. Run, romp, and play daily.
8. Eat with gusto and enthusiasm.
9. Be loyal.
10. Never pretend to be something you’re not.
11. If what you want is buried, dig until you find it.
12. When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by, and nuzzle him or her gently.
13. Thrive on attention.
14. Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
15. On hot days, drink lots of water and sit under a shady tree.
16. When you’re happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
17. Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
18. No matter how often you are scolded, don’t buy the guilt thing and pout – run right back and
make friends.

Now I know why my husband loves me so much – I practice most of the above. I guess I just need to work more on (17) with him, I’m just so lazy, he goes for walks alone!
