What Your Dog is Trying to Teach You

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

When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.

Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.

davezeke1Allow  the experience of fresh air and the wind in your  face to be pure Ecstasy.

Take naps.

Stretch before rising.

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.

Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.

Be loyal.

Never pretend to be something you’re not.

If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.

When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by, and nuzzle them gently.

Enjoy every moment of every day!

~Dave

    This blog would greatly help open the minds of people, whether a pet owner or not, on the importance of care and love within a family. It showed the subtle actions of the dogs that often goes unnoticed and unrecognized yet have been a part of our daily routines.
