things that puppies teach us


I found this list at another shannon blog!

▪ 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.
▪ 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.
