Things we can learn from a dog (Fishwrapper, June 5, 2009)
Allow the experience of fresh air and wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.
Never pass up the opportuntity for a joyride.
When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
If something you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
Take naps and stretch before rising.
Never pretend to be something you're not.
Thrive on attention and let people touch you.
Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
On warm days, stop to lieon your back in the grass.
On hot days, drink lots of water an lay under a shady tree.
When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently.
No matter howoften your scolded, don't buy into the guilt thing and pout. Run right back and make friends.
Be loyal.
