Mattie, Shelby and Aullie - In loving Memory









Words are hard to explain the joy and comfort that a family dog(s) can deliver.  They give you someone to hold when you feel blue.  They give you someone to talk to when no one else will listen, and somehow they understand every word.  If your single, they give you someone to come home to.  They are just as eager to see you, because they've missed you too.  Some how they make a bad day that much brighter.  They are always happy to see you, and want to spend as much time with you as possible....... and they love every minute of it.   I received this from a good friend a while back....It's called "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.
!


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 in 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.
