THE PET'S BILL OF RIGHTS!
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
1. We have the right to be full members of your family.We thrive on social interaction, praise, and love.
2. We have the right to stimulation. We need new games, new toys, new experiences, and new smells to be happy.
3. We have the right to regular exercise. Without it, we could become sluggish,hyper...or fat.
4. We have the right to have fun. We enjoy acting like clowns now and then,don't expect us to be predicatable all the time.
5. We have the right to quality health care. Please stay good friends with our vet!
6.We have the right to a good diet. Like some people, we don't know what's good for us. We depend on you.
7. We have the right not to be rejected, because of your expectations that we be great show dogs or show cats, watchdogs, hunters or baby sitters.
8. We have the right to receive proper training. Otherwise, our good relationship could be marred by confusion and strife- and we could become dangerous to ourselves and others.
9. We have the right to guidance and correction based on understanding and compassion, rather than by abuse.
10. We have the right to live with dignity...and to die with dignity when the time comes...

THE DOG 10 COMMANDMENTS!
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
1. My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Any separation from you will be painful for me...REMEMBER that before you get me.
2. Give me time to understand what you want from me.
3. Place your trust in me. It is cruical 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, entertainment and friends. I have only YOU!
5. Talk with me sometimes. Even if I don't understand your words, I understand your voice.
6. Be aware that however you treat me, I'll never forget.
7. Please don't hit me. I can't hit back, but I can bite, and scratch and I really don't want to do that.
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 foods or I've been out in the sun too long or my heart is getting old and weak.
9. Take care of me when I get old. You too will grow old.
10. Go with me on difficult journeys. NEVER say, "I can't bear to watch, or let it happen in my absence." Everything is easier for me if YOU are there. Remember , I LOVE YOU!!

A Dog's Prayer
Treat me kindly, my beloved master, for no heart in all the world is more grateful for kindness than the loving heart of mine.
Do not break my spirit with a stick, for though I should lick your hand between the blows, your patience and understanding will more quickly teach me the things you would have me do.
Speak to me often, for your voice is the world's sweetest music, as you must know by the fierce wagging of my tail when your footsteps falls upon my waiting ear.
When it is cold and wet, please take me inside, for I am now a domesticated aniaml, no longer used to bitter elements.
And I ask no greater glory than the priviledge of sitting at your feet beside the hearth.
Though you had no home, I would rather follow you through ice and snow than rest your devoted worshipper.
Keep my pan filled with fresh water, for although I should not reproach you were it dry, I cannot tell you when I suffer thirst.
Feed me clean food, that I may stay well, to romp and play and do your bidding, to walk by your side, and stand ready, willing and able to protect you with my life should your life be in danger.
And,beloved master, should the Great Master see fit to deprieve me of health or sight, do not turn me away from you.
Rather, hold me gently in your arms as skilled hands grant me the merciful boon of eternal rest, and I will leave you knowing with the last breath I draw,my fate was ever safest in your hands.
