10 Canine Commandments

10 Canine Commandments

1. My life is likely to last 10 to 15 years. Any separation
from you will be painful to me. Remember that before
you buy me.

2. Give me time to understand what you want from me.

3. Place your trust in me. It’s crucial to my well-being.

4. Don't be angry with me for long, and don’t lock me up
as punishment. You have your work, your
entertainment and your friends. I only have you.

5. Talk to me sometimes. Even if I don’t understand your
words, I understand your voice when it’s speaking to
me.

6. Be aware that however you treat me, I’ll never forget
it.

7. Remember before you hit me: I have teeth that could
easily crush the bones of your hand, but I choose not
to bite you.

8. Before you scold me for being un-cooperative,
obstinate, or lazy, ask yourself if something might be
bothering me. Perhaps I’m not getting the right food,
been out in the sun too long, or my heart is getting
old and weak.

9. Take care of me when I get old. You too will grow old.

10. Go with me on difficult Journeys. Never say: “I can’t
bear to watch it”, or “Let it happen in my absence,
everything is easier for me if you are there.

Aww that's lovely!!!!!!
