Things You Can Learn From a Dog


Remember, if a dog was the teacher you would learn things like:

1. When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
2. Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.
3. Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.
4. Take naps.
5. Stretch before rising.
6. Run, romp, and play daily.
7. Thrive on attention and let people touch you.
8. Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
9. On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.
10. On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.
11. When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
12. Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
13. Eat with gusto and enthusiasm.
14. Stop when you have had enough.
15. Be loyal.
16. Never pretend to be something you're not.
17. If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
18. When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently.
19. Be always grateful for each new day.

Live simply. Love generously.
Care deeply. Speak kindly.

Also:

20. Butts smell pretty good, actually. And don't taste half bad, either.

21. If you randomly barf on the carpet and casually wander off, mommy will eventually clean it up.

22. Peeing in public is kind of liberating.

23. Always wipe. Even if you have to poop-scoot across expensive carpets, pillows, or blankets laying nearby.

24. Crap on people's floors if they ignore you for too long.

25. Poke people with cold noses until they pay attention to you.


Cool list! Haha.
