A friend of mine sent me this in an email.  I liked it so much I thought I’d share it.

Things We Can Learn From a Dog

  1. Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joy ride.
  2. Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.
  3. When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
  4. When it’s in your best interest, always practice obedience.
  5. Take naps and always stretch before rising.
  6. Eat with gusto and enthusiasm.
  7. Be loyal.
  8. Never pretend to be something you’re not.
  9. When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by, and nuzzle them gently.
  10. Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
  11. Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
  12. No matter how often you are criticized, don’t buy into the guilt thing and pout.  Run right back and make friends.
