Its A Dog's Life

Finally joined the Bad Dog mailing list, and received this email:

Things to be Learnt from Dogs


* Never pass up the opportunity for a joyride
* Allow the experience of fresh air and wind in your face to be pure ecstasy
* When loved ones come home always run to greet them
* When it is in your best interest, practice obedience
* Let others know when they have invaded your territory
* Take naps often and stretch before rising
* Run, romp and play daily
* Eat with gusto and enthusiasm
* Be loyal
* Never pretend to be something you are not
* If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
* When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by, and nuzzle them gently
* Thrive on attention and let people touch you
* Avoid biting when a simple growl will do
* On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree
* When you are happy, dance around and wag your entire body
* No matter how often you are scolded, don't buy into the guilt thing and put; run right back and make friends
* Bond with your pack
* Delight in the simple joy of a long walk

Perfect! And I just realised as I look at their site that I am on the front page in my cow mask! Yeeeha!
