CANINE LIFE RULES
If dogs could teach us, we would learn things such as:
- 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 wind in your face to be pure ecstasy
- let others know when they have invaded your territory
- take naps and stretch before rising
- run, romp and play daily
- thrive on attention
- 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 lay under a shady tree
- when you are happy, dance and wag your entire body
- 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 are 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
Applying the above lessons to your life should make it a little less RUFF!
