1. My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Any separation from you is likely to be painful.
2. Give me time to understand what you want of me.
3. Place your trust in me. 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, but I have only you.
5. Talk to me. Even if I don't understand your words, I do understand your voice when speaking to me.
6. Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget it.
7. Before you hit me, before you strike me, remember
that I could hurt you, and yet, I choose not to bite you.
8. 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 have been
in the sun too long, or my heart might be getting old or weak.
9. Please take care of me when I grow old. You too,
will grow old.
10. On the ultimate difficult journey, go with me
please. Never say you can't bear to watch. Don't
make me face this alone. Everything is easier for me
if you are there, because I love you so. ALWAYS!
~Take a moment today to thank God for your pets.
Enjoy and take good care of them. Life would be
a much dull ER, less joyful experience without
God's critters~
God Bless~

oh, that made me cry...I love my pup so much I just can't imagine hurting her in away way at all. It is beyond me how many people are abusive to their 'friends.' Thanks for posting that Deb...j)

OH MY GOODNESS!! I'm not even sure how I came across your site...maybe Mo's?? I was just blog hopping and found your post! I LOVE IT! I don't know where you found that but it is so sweet. My dog (4 1/2 year old Min Pin named Lucie) is my child!! This truly made me cry! I had to email it to a few of my friends who are animal lovers! Thanks so much for sharing this!
i printed that for the cabinet we keep the cat food in. hub makes fun of me because i talk to our cats (well, ALL the animals here on Waltons Mountain) like they are real people. well, arent they?
I agree with jojo...I can't imagine hurting our dog, Blondie...she's part of the family! :o)
