thought for today... :)

If a dog were your teacher
... these are some of the lessons you might learn...
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 and 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 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....
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
