What We Can Learn From Dogs!

I love this!

Someone forwarded me this today and I wanted to share it with everyone.

A transcript from Face The Nation two weeks ago:
  
BOB SCHIEFFER: Finally today, I have no idea where this comes from or who wrote it. If I did,
I’d give them credit. But a friend who knows I love dogs e-mailed the following, which I pass
along today only because it seems a nice thing to share at the beginning of a new year.
 
It is a list of what we would learn if dogs were our teachers, such as:

• Always run to greet loved ones when they come home.
• Never pass the opportunity to go for a joy ride.
• Recognize the ecstasy of fresh air and wind in your face.
• Take naps.
• Stretch before rising--a good plan.
• Run, romp and play daily.
• Thrive on attention. ~ And let people touch you.
• Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
• On warm days, lie on your back in the grass.
• On hot days, drink lots of water and find the shade.
• When you’re happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
• Enjoy long walks.
• Be loyal.
• Never pretend to be something you’re not.
• If what you want is buried dig deep until you find it.
• And when someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by, and nuzzle them gently.

We’d be better off, better people if we acted more like dogs.
