If Dogs Were Our Teacher
*If Dogs Were Our Teacher*
If dogs were our teacher we'd learn stuff like...
*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. They're good for you.*
**
*Stretch frequently.
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'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...just 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're not. *
**
*If what you want what lies buried, dig until you find it. *
**
*And finally, when someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by
and nuzzle them gently. *
