When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.

Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.

Allow  the experience of fresh air and the wind in your  face to be pure Ecstasy.

Take  naps.

Stretch  before rising.

Run,  romp, and play daily.

Thrive on attention and let people touch you.

Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.

On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.

On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.

When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.

Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.

Be loyal.

Never pretend to be something you're 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.

ENJOY EVERY MOMENT OF EVERY DAY!

Thank you for sharing that, Dixie.  It sure made me smile this morning and that is always a nice way to start the day - smiling! 

Yeah, what LL said, Dixie. 

And I can tell ya that I follow that plan too.  Well, maybe I don't run, romp, play or dance around quite as much as I useta.

You left out the line about dumping in the garden!

Well, I am not giving up the leg humping.  A dawg deserves a few fun things in life.  And as for the poopy yard, I can't take all the blame for that.  The vet has me on a high fiber diet, and I think Mrs. Dawg should just be thankful that I'm house broken
