THE TEN COMMANDMENTS (DOG VERSION) AUTHOR UNKNOWN
1/ My life is likely to last 10 to 18 years. Any separation from you will be painful for me. Remember this before you buy me.
2/ Give me time to understand what you want from me.
3/ Place your trust in me – it’s crucial to 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 only have you.
5/ Talk to me. Even if I don’t understand your words, I understand your voice when it’s speaking to me.
6/ Be aware that however you treat me, I’ll never forget it.
7/ Remember before you hit me I have teeth that could easily crush the bones of your hand but that 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 I may not be feeling well, or maybe my heart is getting old and weak.
9/ Take care of me when I get old, you too one day, will grow old.
10/ Go with me on difficult journeys. Never say, “I can’t bear to watch it” or “let it happen in my absence” Everything is easier for me if you are there.
Remember You are my world, I love you
