1284 - Dog Philosophy

Someone sent me a video about dogs. I followed the link back to the site and found the 'Dog Philosophy'. This could apply to humans also. I'm all for number 6.

Dog Philosophy:

1. Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joy ride.
2. Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.
3. When loved ones come home, always run and greet them.
4. When it's in your best interest, always practice obedience.
5. Let others know when they've invaded your territory.
6. Take naps and always stretch before rising.
7. Run, romp and play daily.
8. Eat with gusto and enthusiasm.
9. Be loyal.
10. Never pretend to be something you're not.
11. If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
12. When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently.
13. Delight in the simple joys of a long walk.
14. Thrive on attention and let people touch you.
15. Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
16. On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.
17. When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
18. No matter how often you are criticized, don't buy into the guilt thing and pout. Run right back and make friends.

And now you can go to the site and see some fun videos. The first 'snow dog' one is my favorite. Then the second snow dog. Then if you like little kids and dogs watch Important Doggy Message.

You're right, about half of those points describe how Aaron and Adrian behave. Dogs and kids - innocent bundles of happiness.
