Ten Commandments for pet owners
TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR PET OWNERS
(I). My life is likely to last 10 to 15 years. Any
seperation from you will be very painful. (II).
Give me time to understand what you want from me.
Do not break my spirit with your temper, though, I
will always forgive you. Your patience and
understanding will teach me more quickly those
things you want me to learn. (III). Treat me
kindly, my beloved friend, for no heart in all the
world is more grateful for your kindness than
mine. Don't be angry with me for long, and don't
lock me up for punishment. After all, you have
your job, your friends, your entertainment, I have
only you. (IV). Speak to me often. Even if I don't
understand all of your words, I understand your
voice when its' speaking to me. Your voice is the
sweetest sound I ever hear, as you must know by my
enthusiastic excitement when your footsteps fall
upon my waiting ears. (V). Please take me inside
when it's cold and wet. I'm a domestic animal and
no longer an accustomed to the bitter elements. I
ask for a little more then your gentle hands
petting me. (VI). Keep my bowl filled with clean
water; I cannot tell you when I'm thirsty. Feed me
good food so that I may stay well, to romp and
play and do your bidding, to be by your side, and
stand ready, willing and able to share with you my
life, for thatis what I live for. However you
treat me, I'll never forget it. (VII). Don't hit
me. Remember, I have teeth, that could easily
crush the bones in your hand, but, I choose not to
bite you. (VIII). Before you scold me for being
too lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if
something might be bothering me. Perhaps, I am not
getting the right food, I've been out in the sun
too long, or my heart is getting old and weak.
(IX). Take care of me when I get old. You will
grow old, too. (X). When I am very old, when I no
longer enjoy good health, please do not make
heroic efforts to keep me going. I am not having
fun. Just see to it that my trusting life is taken
gently. And be with me on that difficult journey
when it is time to say "goodbye". Never say, "I
can't bear to watch". Everything is easier for me
when you are there. I will leave this earth
knowing with my last breath that my fate was
always safest in your hands. REMEMBER-- I LOVE
YOU! --Author Unknown
