A Dogs Life

[halljimbo]

Somebody sent me this recently, it brought a very unexpected tear to my eye.

A Dog's Life

1. I will die within a few years so any separation from you upsets me.

2. Give me time to learn what you want from me.

3. Trust me like I trust you.

4. Don't be angry with me for long and don't lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your friends, your entertainment, but I have only got you.

5. Talk to me. Even if I don't understand your words, I understand and love your voice.

6. Be aware that however you treat me, I will always love you.

7. If you hit me or beat me, remember that I could attack you, bite you and rip you, but I don't because I love 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, I have been in the sun too long, or my heart might be getting old or weak.

9. Please take care of me when I grow old. You too, will grow old when I am long gone.

10 When I have to die, stay with me please. Never say you can't bear to watch. Don't make me face this alone. Everything is easier for me if you are there, because I love you.

I am YOUR dog!

Takes me back to when I had to have my old dog put down back home. Never had another dog since then.

I'm not trying to take away from the original OP, but heres a video of a guy who obviously spends a bit of time talking to his dog. Put a smile on my face.

Ha ha good video ND.

My Bulldog Buster gives me a good laugh and coz I'm not home very often I don't have time for him. I feel guilty now because of this thread.

At least people are home all day with him and my son enjoys playing with him.

He jumped up the side if my car once many times and did a lot of damage. But I never scolded him. The maid got it instead! Lol
