What my dog taught me

1. Don't be afraid to leave a little hair behind - it is a way of reminding people you were there.
2. Clean windows need nose prints.
3. Be friendly - you never know who is watching.
4. Keep your toys easily accessible and always answer the door with a ball in your mouth.
5. Always be ready to go, you don't want to miss the ride to the park.
6. Forgive - everyone is fighting something.
7. Take time to smell the weeds - even though it isn't a beautiful flower, it might be something special.
8. Don't always follow the trail - the most wonderful things come from straying off course.
9. Remember where you came from and that you can always go back.
10. Friends are family and both are priceless.
11. Stretch.
12. Sometimes, it is okay to break the rules.
13. There is nothing wrong with stealing a piece of apple pie once in a while.
14. If someone wants to help, let them. Even if you can do it yourself, it makes them feel appreciated.
15. Run. Chase. Laugh.
