 Friday Tale - Dog-gone 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.

* * 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
