It's never too late to teach an old human new tricks. Fiorenze Albert-Howard of West Vancouver sent along this little something he saw on the Internet, called "Things We Can Learn From a Dog."
> 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 loved once come home, always run to greet them
> When it's in your best interest, practice obedience
> Let others know when they've invaded your territory
> Take naps and stretch before rising
> Run, romp and play daily
> Eat with gusto and enthusiasm
> 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 him or her gently
> Avoid biting when a simple growl will do
> On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree
> Bond with your pack
> Delight in the simple joy of a long walk

What useful things our best friends can teach us!
Not a bad list--not bad at all!

Hey mon Kapitano; thanks for stopping by.
DAVID! - nice to see you after so long...
Taking that joyride advice when I get up today! Took a vacation day, Dottie's off-going down to look at another place I used to fish with Dad and see how much their ramp permits are now, lol!
(And it finally has been 50 for the last two days! Perhaps spring has sprung!)

still laughing at dont bite when a simple growl will do, thats very funny and very clever .
I have said for years, that dogs are better people than.. two legged people
What a great list, thanks for sharing.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Take care, Meow
My Vet has something similar to this in his office. Makes me smile whenever I read it.
I love my dogs. They love so unconditionally and are so forgiving of my occasional bad moods.

ps I have new photos up for you.
hey alan,
thanks for stopping by -- hah!, March came in like the proverbial Lion in this here parts ! - SNOW, and horrible accidents further north.
hi JIP; yep, i sometimes refer to myself as a Doberman Pincer, those dogs bark as a warning before they will bite, unlike a Rotteweiler, who will simply charge and bite, without any warning bark!
hi Kath, yeah, sometimes people can be such...no, can't say animals, because most animals are nice.
Hi meow, thanks for stopping by; i have been very busy, no time for "blogging"...
hey Deb, your vet probably got the same thing off the internet, i have had this piece for years....
hey puhpaul, well, having seen photos of your dogs, i can see how they are so lovable...well, most dogs are, unfortunately some owners ruin their dogs otherwise gentle and loving natures.
well, all, i have to dash and get some work done - no time to play yet.
Hello PJ,
Can you come out and play now? :)
I kinda like the idea of being a best friend and will heed this list' advice.
Saludos,
Enid
