Things we can learn from a dog!

Three 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 and greet them.
  • When it’s in your best interest, practice obedience.
  • Let others know when they have 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 is buried, dig until you find it.
  • When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle him or her gently.
  • Thrive on attention.
  • Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
  • On hot days, drink lots of water and sit under a shady tree.
  • When you’re happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
  • Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
  • No matter how often you are scolded, don’t buy the guilt thing and pout, run right
    back and make friends.
