A Pet's Ten Commandments

1) My life is likely to last 10-15yrs.Any separation from you will be 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 do understand your voice when speaking to me.

6) Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget.

7) Before you hit me, before you strike me, remember that I could hurt you, and yet, 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, been in the sun too long, or myn heart might be getting old or weak.

9) Please take care of me when I grow old. You too, will grow old.

10) On the ultimate difficult journey, go with me please. Neversay you can't bear to watch. Don't make me face this alone. Everything is easier for me if you are there, b/c I love you so.

~Take a moment today to thank God for your pets. Enjoy and take good care of them. Life would be a much duller, less joyful experience without God's critters.

 I lost one of mine this year, hard to do.

My dog is 18 months old and I cherish every day that I have with her.

She chewed up a pack of hot sauce from Tace Bell last night.
