THINGS WE CAN LEARN FROM A DOG.....


    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 ecstacy.
    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.
    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 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.
    Bond with your pack.
    Delight in the simple joys of a long walk.
    If you stare at someone long enough, eventually you'll get what you want.
    Don't go without ID.
    When you do something wrong, always take responsibility (as soon as you're dragged out from under the bed!)
    If it's not sloppy, it's not a real kiss.
    If at first you don't succeed, whine real loud.
    Don't settle for cheap food.
    Play nicely with others, but remind them it's your toy.
    Rainy days are best spent indoors.
    When a loud thunderstorm comes at night, and the ones you need to impress with your bravery are asleep, it's okay to hide under the bed.
    If your dog thinks you're the greatest thing in the world...
    Don't get a second opinion.

A DOGS PRAYER

Treat me kindly, my beloved master for no heart in the world is
more grateful for kindness than the loving heart of me.
Do not break my spirit with a stick, for though I lick your hand
between the blows, your patience and understanding will more
quickly teach me the things you would have me do.

Speak to me often, for your voice is the world's sweetest music,
as you must know by the fierce wagging of my tail when your
footstep falls upon my waiting ear.

When it is cold and wet, please take me inside, for I am now a
domesticated animal, no longer used to the elements. And I
ask no greater glory that the privilege of sitting at your feet
beside the hearth. Though had you no home, I would rather
follow you through ice and snow than rest upon the softest
pillow in the warmest home in all the land, for you are my God,
and I am your devoted worshiper. Keep my pan filled with fresh water,
for although I should not reproach you were it dry, I cannot tell you
when I suffer thirst.

Feed me clean food, that I may be well, to romp and play and do
your bidding, to walk by your side, and stand ready, willing and
able to protect you with my life should your life be in danger.
And, beloved master, should the Great Master see fit to deprive
me of my health or sight, do not turn me away from you. Rather
hold me gently in your arms as skilled hands grant me the merciful
boon of eternal rest...and I will leave you knowing with the last
breath I drew, my fate was ever safest in your hands.

A POEM FROM THE DOG


    You feed me when I'm hungry.
    You keep water in my dish.
    You let me sleep on anything.
    Or in any place I wish.

    You sometimes let me lick your hands.
    Or even lick your face.
    Despite the fact I've licked myself,
    In every private place.

    You taught me how to come when called.
    You taught me how to sit.
    You always let me go outside.
    So I can take a shi....stroll.

    You'll always have my loyalty,
    Up to the bitter end.
    'Cause after all, it's plain to see...
    You are a dog's best friend.
