Things We Can Learn from a Dog:

1. Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.

2. Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind
in your face to be pure ecstasy.

3. When loved ones come home, always run to
greet them.

4. When it's in your best interest, practice
obedience.

5. Let others know when they've invaded your
territory.

6. Take naps and stretch before rising.

7. Run, romp and play daily.

8. Eat with gusto and enthusiasm.

9. Be loyal.

10. Never pretend to be something you're not.

11. If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.

12. When someone is having a bad day, be silent,
sit nearby and nuzzle him or her gently.

13. Thrive on attention and let people touch you.

14. Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.

15. When you're happy, dance around and wag
your entire body.

16. No matter how often you're scolded, don't buy
into the guilt thing and pout. Run right back and
make friends.

17. Delight in the simply joys of a long walk.
