Strut Your Mutt

2008.08.23

Lessons We Can Learn From Dogs
1) Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.
2) When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
3) Eat with gusto and enthusiasm.
4) If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
5) Be loyal.
6) Run, romp and play daily.
7) When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently.
8) Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
9) When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
10) When it's in your best interest, practice obedience.
11) Let others know when they've invaded your territory.
12) Take naps and stretch before rising.
13) Never pretend to be something you're not.
14) Thrive on attention and let people touch you.
15) No matter how often you're scolded, don't buy into the guilt thing and pout...run right back and make friends.

I just love the kids and their dogs - 4,9,11. They look so proud. What a fun fun(draiser).
And some lessons have yet to be learned. Guess I'll study a little more.

Oh, Bertram, this set brought such a smile to my face. It's absolutely lovely. Love the way the dogs are dressed with their bandanas (makes them look so very 'macho'). The video is great, and I've got the 'lessons' on my desktop.

Thank you for this great start to the day and the new week! Best regards.
