Things we can learn from a dog

• 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 loved ones come home, always
  run to greet them
• 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
• Eat with gusto and enthusiasm
• 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
• Thrive on attention and let
  people touch you
• Avoid biting when a simple growl
  will do
• 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
• Bond with your pack
• Delight in the simple joy of
  a long walk
