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 the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy;

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;

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 lie under a shady tree;

When you are happy, dance 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 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!
