Its a Dog's Life!!!

The other day, I was just talking to a friend and we got talking about dogs....yes dogs of all the things....just goes to show how much(read:little) work I do out here. Anyway, the person was a big dog lover and mentioned a few things which stuck! A dog's life they say...I guess we stand to learn a lot from it.... This one is for Dinky(she was my dog for the uninitiated)!! Might I say, 'Jump around' in peace!

IF A DOG WERE YOUR TEACHER You would learn stuff like.....

• When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.(when was the last time you did that?)
• Never pass up the opportunity to go for a ride. (Get out!!)
• Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy. ( Ok I admit...I do that)
• When it's in your best interest -- practice obedience.(When it is in your best interest)
• Let others know when they've invaded your territory. (Do not take shit from anyone)
• Take naps and stretch before rising. (Naps are good)
• Run, romp, and play daily. (U'll end up happier...trust me)
• Thrive on attention and let people touch you. (U would stop getting it if u don't bask in the glory of it)
• Avoid biting, when a simple growl will do. ( Bite when u have to... & Bite Hard!!)
• On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass. (Take time out)
• On hot days, drink lots of water and never get out of an AC room. (I already do that too)
• When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body. ( Let everyone know that ur happy and the happiness doubles)
• No matter how often you're scolded, don't buy into the guilt thing and pout... run right back and make friends. (Friends & Family are all u have)
• Delight in the simple joy of a long walk. (Don't forget to smell for new things when on the long journey...try them if u have to)
• Be loyal to your loved ones. (No matter what...)
• If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it. (Heck.... Dig even if you don't know what lies beneath!)
• When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently.
• Eat with gusto and enthusiasm. Stop when you have had enough. (This is my favourite)
