im your dog , got something to say to you :huggles:

1. My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Any separation from you is

likely to be painful.

2. Give me time to understand what you want of me.

3. Place your trust in me. It is crucial for my well-being.

4. Don't be angry with me for long and don't lock me up as punishment.

You have your work, your friends, your entertainments. But I have only

you.

5. Talk to me. Even if I don't understand your words, I do understand

your voice when speaking to me.

6. Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget it.

7. Before you hit me, before you strike me, remember that I have teeth

that could easily crush the bones in your hand, and yet I choose not to

bite you.

8. Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if

something might be bothering me. Perhaps I'm not getting the right food,

I have been in the sun too long or my heart might be getting old or

weak.

9. Please take care of me when I grow old. You too will grow old.

10. On the difficult journey, on the ultimate difficult journey, go with

me please. Never say you can't bear to watch. Don't make me face this

alone. Everything is easier for me if you are there. Because I love you

so.

Take a moment today to thank God for your pets. Enjoy and take good care

of them. Life would be a much duller, less joyful thing without God's

critters.

This will be very familiar to most people but I will post it anyway.

THE DOG makes no distinction between the great and the humble,

between the rich and powerful, and those who have nothing to offer

him except their company.

HE walks with Kings and to our delight with our Queen,

he protects the lonely and leads the blind,

he shares our pleasures, our labours, our sports, our follies,

our triumphs and disasters, our homes and our families.

Through the dog we enrich our lives and in return he asks only

that we give him what he gives us - friendship.

1976 - Wilson Stephens

Yep ... so true,

and like horses they never lie ...

 

[animalady]

He speaketh not and yet there lies and wealth of language in his eyes.....
