IF I DIDN'T HAVE DOGS.......

I could walk around the yard barefoot in safety.

My house could be carpeted instead of tiled and laminated.

All flat surfaces, clothing, furniture, and cars would be
free of hair.

When the doorbell rings, it wouldn't sound like a kennel.

When the doorbell rings, I could get to the door without
wading through fuzzy bodies who beat me there.

I could sit on the couch and my bed the way I wanted, without taking into consideration how much space several fur bodies would need to get comfortable.

I would have money ....and no guilt to go on a real vacation.

I would not be on a first-name basis with 6 veterinarians, as I put their yet unborn grand kids through college.

The most used words in my vocabulary would not be: out,
sit, down, come, no, stay, and leave him/her/it ALONE.

My house would not be cordoned off into zones with baby
gates or barriers.

My house would not look like a day care center, toys everywhere.

My pockets would not contain things like poop bags,
treats and an extra leash.

I would no longer have to Spell the words B-A-L-L,
F-R-I-S-B-E- E, W-A-L-K, T-R-E-A-T, B-I-K-E, G-O, R-I-D-E

I would not have as many leaves INSIDE my house as outside.

I would not look strangely at people who think having ONE
dog/cat ties them down too much.

I'd look forward to spring and the rainy season instead
of dreading 'mud' season.

I would not have to answer the question 'Why do you have
so many animals?' from people who will never have the joy in their lives of knowing they are loved unconditionally by someone as close to an angel as they will ever get.

How EMPTY my life would be!

The Canine 10 Commandments

Dogs are a huge responsibility, don't take it on unless you are prepared to make sacrifices, provide love and care, and a great home. They are with us a short time and it is up to us to make their lives as content and happy as possible.

They are not possessions, they are living breathing creatures with feelings and emotions. Don't expect your child to take care of the dog, ultimately it should be a task the whole family is willing to take on.

My life is likely to last 10 to 15 years.
Any separation from you will be painful for me.
Remember that when you buy or adopt me.

Give me time to understand what you want of me.

Place your trust in me - it's crucial for my well-being.

Don't be angry at me for long, and don't lock me up as punishment.

You have your work, your entertainment and your friends.
I have only you.

Talk to me sometimes.
Even if I don't understand your words,
I understand your voice when it's speaking to me.

Be aware, however you treat me,
I'll never forget.

Remember before you hit me that I have teeth that could easily crush the bones in your hand, but that I choose not to bite you.

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've been out in the sun or in the cold too long, or my heart is getting old and weak.

Take care of me when I get old.
You too, will grow old someday.

Go with me on difficult journeys.
Never say: "I can't bear to watch it", or say
"Let it happen in my absence" or "I am tired of you".
Everything is easier for me if you are there.

Remember I Love You
