Fidos Fun Farm receives many funny, interesting, and unique items from my many clients. I wanted to be able to share some of these with you. .
A Birthday Poem from the Dog:
You feed me when I'm hungry, You keep water in my dish, You let me sleep on anything, Or in any place I wish.
You sometimes let me lick your hands, Or even lick your face, Despite the fact I've licked myself, In every private place.
You taught me how to come when called, You taught me how to sit, You always let me go outside, So I can take a ??? STROLL.
I've been with you through oh, so much, Through laughter and through tears, I hope you live to be a hundred.....
I receive an email from a client and her family who had just put down the family dog. She was very concerned how her son would handle loosing his dog. He turned to his mother and said, "People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life--like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?" He continued, "Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long."
Remember, if a dog was the teacher you would learn things like:
When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.
Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ectasy.
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.
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.
Being always grateful for each new day and for the blessing of you.
