The Lesson of the Dog

If a dog were your teacher, you would learn things like:

When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joy ride.
Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.
When it is in your best interest, practice obedience.
Let others know when they've 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 lie down under a shade tree.
When your happy, dance around 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've had enough.
Be loyal.
Never pretend to be something you're not.
And most of all......If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it!!
