6. Take naps and then 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 you want what lies buried, dig until you find it. 
12. When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close and nuzzle 
them gently. 
13. Thrive on attention and let people touch you. 
14. Avoid biting when a simple growl will do. 
15. On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree. 
16. When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.

put and make friends.
