I just received this in my mail. 

Ugh..this stuff gets me everytime!!

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 please. 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.

Did a dog write that?

Read that with my Lab's head laying on my foot.
Powerful words.

Yes!

That last line got to me after having my pug put down at our last house and the Mastiff's unexpected passing.  Luckily, we were there for both of them and they weren't alone.   The Frenchie is probably going to live til she's 20.  She hasn't slowed down yet in 3 years!

That hits close to home for me too

That hits close to home for me too 

I can only imagine, given that this little Lab is my 1st dog. Hope you're hanging in there.

Yes!

Chokes me up even thinking about that, and my baby's only 2.

Sometimes they like to cuddle, but sometimes they prefer their own space.
