If dog was a teacher...
If a dog was the teacher you would learn stuff like:
:DWhen loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
:oNever 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.
:oWhen it's in your best interest, practice obedience.
:-\Let others know when they've invaded your territory.
;)Take naps.
:-*Stretch before rising.
;DRun, romp, and play daily.
8)Thrive on attention and let people touch you.
8)Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
;DOn warm days, stop to lie on your back in the grass.
:DOn hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.
;DWhen you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
:oNo 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.
:DEat with gusto and enthusiasm. Stop when you have had enough.
;DBe loyal. :-[Never pretend to be something you're not.
:DIf 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.
