The Ten Commandments of Dog Ownership (Author Unknown. Or Mrit Teigen?)

1. My life is likely to last ten to fifteen years.
Any separation from you will be painful for me.
Remember that before you get alone with me.

2. Give me time to understand what you want of me.

3. Place your trust in me- it's crucial to my Well-being.

4. 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.

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

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

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

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 food 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 it ." or " Let it happen in my absence.".
Everything is easier for me if you are there.
Remember I love you.
