Things we can learn from our dogs

With the deluge of information that comes into our lives we may have had the tendency to just block it all out at times (I know I have). But I have found that some information is of much more value than others in helping us with our problems or needs. I do not submit for your consideration the suggestions which follow as information of necessarily the highest value, but they did make me smile. There is much good advice here and some of the suggestions may have value which could possibly help you, too!

Things we can learn from our dogs:

1. When family members come home drop what you’re doing and run to greet them.
2. Let others know when they have invaded your territory.
3. Take naps; stretch before rising.
4. Run, romp and play daily.
5. Eat with concentration then clean your plate.
6. Be loyal.
7. Never pretend to be something you’re not.
8. If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
9. When someone is having a bad day be silent, sit close, and nuzzle him or her gently.
10. Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
11. Better yet, do a thousand wags to every growl.
12. No matter how often you’re scolded, never pout. Run right back and make friends.
13. Delight in the simple joys of a long walk.

Have a nice day.

Good advice from a dog...just kidding. Did you make these up? Very good!
