Things We Can Learn from a Dog





This is a photo of my beautiful German Shepperd, Bullet.  I think there's a lot we can learn from our pets.  The following list is from Chicken Soup for the Soul: Loving Our Dogs:


1. Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joy ride.


2. Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.


3. When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.


4. When it's in your best interest, always practice obedience.


5. Let others know when they've invaded your territory.


6. Take naps and always stretch before rising.


7. Run, romp and play daily.


8. Eat with gusto and enthusiasm.


9. Be loyal.


10. Never pretend to be something you're not.


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


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


13. Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.


14. Thrive on attention and let people touch you.


15. Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.


16. On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.


17. When you are happy, dance around and wag your entire body.


18. No matter how often you are criticized, don't buy into the guilt thing and pout.
      Run right back and make friends.



 Now, I would love to hear about YOUR pets and how they have enriched your life!

Morning Motivation




When I woke up this morning lying in bed,  
I was asking myself;
What
 are some of the secrets of success in life?
I found
 the answer right there,
in my very room.

The fan said - Be cool!
The ceiling said - Aim high!
The window said - See the world!
The clock said - Every moment is precious!
The mirror said - Reflect before you act!
The calendar said - Be up-to-date!
The door said - Push hard for your goals!
And the carpet said - Kneel down and pray!
