It's A Dog's Life

to be pure ecstasy

invaded your territory

7.  Run romp, and play daily

8.  Thrive on attention and let people touch you

9.  Avoid biting, when a simple growl will do

10.  On warm days, stop to lie
on your back on the grass

11.  On hot days, drink lots of water and lay under a shady tree

12.  When you're happy, dance around
and wag your entire body

13.  No matter how often you're scolded, don't buy into the guilt thing and pout, run right back and make friends

14.  Delight in the simple joy of a long walk

15.  Eat with gusto and enthusiasm. Stop when you have had enough

16.  Be loyal

17.  Never pretend to be something you're not

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