http://www.inspirationpeak.com/shortstories/ifadog.html If dogs were teachers we’d learn stuff like this … … 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. … romp and play daily. … thrive on attention and let people touch you. … no biting when a simple growl will do. … on warm days, stop to lie on your back in 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 and stop when you’ve 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 and nuzzle them gently.
