THINGS WE CAN LEARN FROM DOGS

• 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 loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
  
  
• 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.
  
  
• 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.
  
  
• 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.
