Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be> pure ecstasy.>

When it's in your best interest, practice obedience.>

Let others know when they've invaded your territory.>

Take naps.>

Stretch before rising.>

Run, romp, and play daily.>

Thrive on attention and let people touch you.>

Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.>

On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.>

On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.>

When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.>

No matter how often you're scolded, don't buy into the guilt> thing and pout..! run right back and make friends.>

Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.>

Eat with gusto and enthusiasm. Stop when you have had enough.>

Be loyal. Never pretend to be something you're not.>

If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.>

When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and> nuzzle them gently.>
