I received a note via email from a friend the other day and it certainly struck a chord with me so I thought I would pass it along to our readers.
This list serves as a reminder of why we all love our cherished pets so much. It also reminds us of the unconditional love that our animals provide us with each and every day. Sometimes, I think we lose sight of the loyalty and companionship that our dogs give us.
Finally, this list applies to us as human beings, too. Sometimes it wouldn’t hurt us to stop and smell the roses. Here is the story, I hope you all enjoy it.
If A Dog Were Your Teacher
If a dog were your teacher, you would learn stuff like:
• 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 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 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.
And MOST of all…
• When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently.
• • • • •
I hope everyone has an enjoyable summer. Try to spend every moment in the company of your best friend.
