lessons life has taught me...

When loved ones come home, always run to greet them

Run, romp and play daily

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

Delight in the simple joy of a long walk

Eat with enthusiasm, stop when you've had enough

If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it

Take naps

Stretch before rising

Thrive on attention and let people touch you

When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently
