Dog-gone Good Advice

If a dog was the teacher, you would learn:  

• When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.  
• Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.  
• Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.  
• When it's in your best interest, practice obedience.
• Let others know when they've invaded your territory.  
• 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
• No matter how often you're scolded, don't buy into the guilt thing and pout!  Run right back and make friends.   
• 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.

But let all who take refuge in You be glad,
let them ever sing for joy;
and may You shelter them, that those
who love Your name may exult in You.
Psalm 5:11
