LESSONS TO LEARN FROM DOGS

LESSONS TO LEARN FROM DOGS

There are so many ways that dogs are superior to humans. Do they need humans to help them through life? YES! In reality, we humans need them to teach us some of the very basics of life. They have some things "down pat." These are things that we as humans seem to have trouble with at times. Just to name a few, please read on:

• Delight in the simplicity of a long walk...

• Never pass up opportunities to enjoy a nice drive, to romp and play, and to experience the fresh air in your face.
  

• Greeting those who come home with hugs and happiness.

• The best practice of taking a good nap.

• Of course, after napping, it is so very important to remember how to stretch your body out for the full benefit.

• When someone is having a tough day, it is so important to just nuzzle up to them -- no words are necessary.

Dogs are so very loyal and love you just for YOU! No pretending to be something that you are not. Even when they need a scolding, they run right back to you and make friends. They also know when it is not important enough for a bite; a simple growl will work, especially when someone has invaded your territory.

They remember to drink lots of water on hot days and the importance of staying cool, even if it is under a shade tree. 

Best of all? When they are happy they just simply dance around and wag their entire body.
