If a dog was the 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;
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;
When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently.
♥ Love & Affection Always! ♥
