Great Advice (Marilyn)

If a dog was the teacher you would learn stuff like :

• 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 in 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.




• And never trust anyone until you have sniffed their butt!
