Being a new dog owner... I
was
given these and thought that I would share them with those who visit my
page. I did not write them and I do not know who did...if you
read
these and know who did write them...please let me know so that I can
give
them credit for them. I hope they touch your heart as they did
mine.
10 COMMANDMENTS FOR A
RESPONSIBLE
DOG OWNER
(from a dog's perspective)
1. My life is
likely
to last 10 years. Any separation from you will be very
painful.
2. Give me time to understand what you want of me.
3. Place your trust in me - it is crucial for my well-being.
4. Don't be
angry
with me for long, and don't lock me up as punishment.
You have your work, and your friends. I only have you!
5. Talk to
me.
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. Before you
hit
me, remember that I have teeth that could easily crush
the bones in your hand, but I choose not to bite you.
8. Before you
scold
me for being lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if
something might be bothering me. Perhaps I'm not getting the right
food, or I've been out in the sun too long, or my heart may be getting
old and weak.
9. Take care of me when I get old. You to, 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.
When God made the earth and
sky
the flowers and the trees
He then made all the animals
and all the birds and bees.
And when his work was finished
not one was quite the same
He said "I'll walk this earth
of mine and give each one a name"
And so He travelled land
and
sea and everywhere He went
A little creature followed him
until its strength was spent
When all were named upon the
earth and in the sky and sea
The little creature said Dear
Lord, there's not one left for me."
The Father smiled and softly
said "I've left you to the end
I've turned my own name back
to fromt and call you
'Dog', my friend".
