The Dog 10 Commandments

- My
life is likely to last 10-15 years. Any separation from
you will be painful for me. Remember that BEFORE you get
me.
- Give me
time to understand what you want from me.
- Place your
trust in me. It is crucial to my well-being.
- Don't be
angry with me for long, and don't lock me up as punishment.
You have your work, entertainment and friends. I have only
YOU!
- Talk to
me sometimes. Even if I don't understand your words, I understand
your voice.
- Be aware
that however you treat me, I'll never forget.
- Please don't
hit me. I can't hit back, but I can bite and scratch and I
really don't want to do that.
- Before you scold
me for being uncooperative, obstinate, or lazy, ask yourself
if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I'm not getting
the right foods or I've been out in the sun too long or my
heart is getting old and weak.
- Go with
me on difficult journeys. Never say, "I can't bear to watch, or let it
happen in my absence." Everything is easier for me if
YOU are there.
- Take care of me when
I get old. You too will grow old.
