Life Lessons from Barkley

For Two Leggers
 

• Never pass up the opportunity to go for a car ride.
• Run, romp, and play daily.
• Be loyal and admiring.
• Place napping areas strategically around your domain.
• Let others know when they have invaded your space.

• Take naps and stretch before starting your day.
• Eat with gusto and enthusiasm but know when to stop
• Do not pretend to be something you are not.
• If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
• Delight in the simple joy of a long walk through the park.
• Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.
• When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
• When it's in your best interest, practice obedience.
• Bond with your pack.  Try to assert yourself as the Alpha!
• Thrive on attention and let two-leggers touch you and rub your belly.
• Avoid biting or barking when a simple growl will do.
• On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.
• When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and love them.
• No matter how often you are scolded or put down, don't buy into the guilt thing and pout...go right back and make friends.

My Loving Dog

Who else could match my every mood?
Who else would feast on scraps of food?
Who else would prompt this monologue?
Who else but you.....
My Dog
