If a dog was our teacher,
these are some of the lessons we 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.
