Things We Can Learn From Dogs...

• Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joy ride
• 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 is 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 nearby and nuzzle him or her gently
• Thrive on attention and let people touch you
• Avoid biting when a simple growl will do
• When you’re happy, dance around and wag your entire body
• No matter how often you are scolded, don’t buy into the guilt thing and pout.  Run right back and make friends
• Delight in the simple joys of a long walk
• If you don’t own a dog, at least one, there is not necessarily anything wrong with you, but there may be something wrong with your life
• Dogs laugh with their tails
• To err is human; to forgive, canine
