Canine Life Rules

Canine Life Rules is an oldie but well worth reading and contemplating….

If dogs could teach us we would learn things such as:

• 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 – practise obedience
• Let others know when they have invaded your territory
• Take naps and 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 lay under a shady tree
• When you are happy, dance and wag your entire body
• No matter how often you are 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 are 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

Applying the above lessons to your life should make it a little less RUFF!
