UNDERSTANDING A DOG
(FROM A DOG'S POINT OF VIEW)

1) My life is likely to last 10 to 15 years. Any separation from you will be very painful.
2) Give me time to understand what you want from me.
3) Give my your company - 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. 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) 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've been out in the sun too long, or my heart may be getting old and weak.
8) Take care of me when I get old. You, too, will grow old.
9) 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 - I trust you!!

Pet Lover's Tip

for September:

 

With all the unfavorable reports about Number 7 plastic containers leeching plastic into baby bottles, what about pet dishes?

It's a good idea to check the recycle number on the bottom of pets' food and water containers and do away with any that are marked as  7. Consider instead glass, porcelain or stainless steel.

 And then, be sure they're made in the USA or a country where there are no concerns about lead content.
