Funnies

10 favours a dog asks of us:

  1. My life lasts on an average between 10 and 15 years. Every separation from you means suffering for me.  Think about this before you decide whether or not to take me.
  2. Do not be angry with me for long, and don’t lock me up for punishment. Yu have your work, your pleasure, your hobbies – I only have you.
  3. Instill confidence in me. I thrive on it. Talk to me often! Even if I don’t understand the words, I do understand the tone of your voice.
  4. Know that, no matter how I am being treated, I shall never forget it. Keep in mind before you hit me, that my jaws could crush the knuckles of your hand with ease, but I don’t use them on you.
  5. Before you scold me when working with me, consider first – perhaps I was in the sun too long, perhaps I have a worn-out heart.
  6. Give me time to understand what you are asking of me.
  7. Take care of me when I am old, you too will be old one day.
  8. Be with me when the going is rough – everything is easier when you are beside me.
