Dog Commandments Can't Post

I found this stumbling & had to share it. I really enjoyed it.

The 10 Commandments of a Dog

1. Remember BEFORE you adopt me that my life is likely to last 10-15 years

2. Give me time to understand what you want of me.

3. Place your trust in me. It’s 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, your entertainment, and your friends. I have only YOU.

5. Talk to me everyday. Even if I don’t understand your words, I understand what is in your voice.

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

7. Remember that before you hit me that I have teeth that could crush the bones in your hand, but I CHOOSE not to bite you.

8. 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 food, or been out in the sun too long, or my heart is getting old and weak.

9. Take care of me when I get old. You too will grow old someday.

10. Go with me on difficult journeys. Never say “I can’t bear to watch it” or “take him to the back and end it”. EVERYTHING is easier for me if you are there. Any separation from you will be painful for me especially toward the end of my life.

Cheers,
Melissa

Read this when I have the intention of bringing a dog home 2 years ago and the messege really found the target in my heart then. Think all new intended owners should read it before they decide to add a dog to their home and ppl like yen and yee will not hv such a hard time now.
