  • A PET’S TEN COMMANDMENTS………

    Remember that they can’t do a lot of things for themselves and that they depend on you to make their life a quality life!

    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 pl ease.  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.

    ~Take a moment today to thankful for your pets.  Enjoy and take good
    care of them.  Life would be a much duller, less joyful experience
    without them.

About me...

Passionate about slowing down & taking time to appreciate the beauty of the outdoors or kindness in relationships as gifts & blessings; injustices against children in situations beyond their control; my faith; Nature, experiencing the outdoors whether cycling, walking. x-c skiing or gardening, my dogs, capturing on film God's beauty, experiencing life intensely & with the senses, richness of late afternoon light, wind in my hair cycling with my dog on a beach road, couching inches from an arctic flower or alpine lichen to capture it with my camera, insight of a student's new learning, a good conversation over a coffee.
