A PET'S TEN COMMANDMENTS.........
A PET'S TEN COMMANDMENTS.........
1. My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Any separation from you is likely to 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, your friends, your entertainment, but I have only 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 it. 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, 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. 10. On the ultimate difficult journey, go 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 so. Looks like a lot of people on this group need to actually read this. |

Looks like a lot of people on this group need to actually read this. A dog is an amazingly noble creature. He or she lives to please their human benefactors upon whom they rely for basic needs of food, water, shelter, and most importantly, love. Their love is instinctual and nearly unconditional, and their ability to forgive our human weaknesses is amazing. It is such a pity that many people choose to satisfy their own neurotic needs to feel powerful and superior, by forcing these gentle creatures into unquestioning and arbitrary obedience with harshness and physical domination. It is fortunate for them that "full size" dogs are usually blessed with gentle demeanors and choose not to use their full physical powers which could result in severe injury or even death to an abusive trainer. If someone treated me the way I was taught to treat Muttley, that person might find themselves taking a dirt nap on the other side of the grass. Paul and Muttley |
