Doggie Advice (to us humans)

Post by JTF »

THIS IS SOME GOOD ADVICE!

If a dog was the teacher you would learn stuff like:

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.

Eat with gusto and enthusiasm. Stop when you have had enough.

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.

urgent, are often continued in the next yard."
- Dave Barry

"Anybody who doesn't know what soap tastes like
never washed a dog."

average person."

here we come back from a grocery store with the
most amazing haul -- chicken, pork, half a cow.
They must think we're the greatest hunters on earth!"

Jennifer,

Technically, I have a dog. He just lives with my mother 600 miles away b.b I couldn't tear him away from her place at this point. He lives with her and her dog who practically grew up with him. Her dog is fighting cancer and the two are inseperable.

Do I live with a dog? No, and that is due to a "no pets" clause on my lease. I figured out the only options I have now are to either find an apt that allows dogs, or try to volunteer to train seeing eye dogs! (they can't violate a lease for a seeing eye dog, even one in training)

Considering that if there is a problem (like the hole in my bathroom ceiling) the landlady sends this crackhead to fix it, I think it's coming up on time for me to look for a new apt. (The crackhead came to fix a leak in the bathroom ceiling for the 4th time and tells me "she really needs to just spend the money and get a plumber!) I have to wait for my girlfriend to find an apt first. If I found one before her it would only cause problems, as you can imagine...

Soon... until then, I'll just miss my old dog (I got him as a puppy 12 years ago)
