My Dog, the 2nd BEST TEACHER



A few things your dog might teach you!

  • When a loved one comes home, they always run to greet you.
  • They never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.
  • They allow the experience of fresh air and wind in the face, to be pure ecstasy.
  • They take naps.
  • They stretch before rising.
  • They run, romp and play, daily.
  • They thrive on attention and let people touch them.
  • They avoid biting, when a simple growl will do the trick.
  • On warm days, they stop to lay on their back, on the grass.
  • On hot days, they drink lots of water and lay under a shady tree.
  • When they are happy they dance around and wag their entire body.
  • They delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
  • They are loyal.
  • They never pretend to be something they are not.
  • If they want something that lies buried, they dig until they find it.
  • When someone is having a bad day, they are silent and come to sit close by and maybe nuzzle a bit to give reassurance. Author unknown
