The Wisdom of Dogs

[Shell666 0]

If a dog were 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 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.

Always walk around in circles 3 times before laying down.

Greet strangers by putting your nose...

...When no suitable mate is around, enjoy the fact that you can lick yourself.

Sky-div'ing (ski'div'ing) n. A modern sport that involves parties, bragging, sexual excesses, the imbibing of large quantities of beer, and, on rare occasions, parachuting from aircraft.

Ok - I almost fell of my chair laughing at that one - and since I am on shift in the main force headquarters in Baghdad (a large and quiet room) - people noticed...

Not one shred of evidence supports the theory that life is serious - look at the platypus.

I think the "licking yourself" should be done with a modicum of privacy. In a crowded room, it probably did attract attention.

people could learn allot from dogs and it would make the world a better place!

To put your life in danger from time to time ... breeds a saneness in dealing with day-to-day trivialities.

I am such a dog person!

"Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance,
others mean and rueful of the western dream"
