WHAT I LEARNED FROM MY DOG
(as told to me by Sadie over 14 years)
Dedicated to Sadie, A Wonderful Blue Heeler -13 years 9 months.
Died July 18, 2004 10:02 a.m.
1 - Life is too short to stay sad or mad.
2 - There is always time to play, no matter the time of day.
3 - Doing things the right way, makes my Master glad.
4 - If something starts to hurt, don't whine and sniffle, just curl up with a loved ones shirt.
5 - There are times to be tough and times to be sensitive.
6 - There are times to demand your way and times to let others have their way.
7 - If someone angers you, just let it go and refer back to lesson # 1.
8 - Be strong and courageous and always available for your friends.
9 - Traveling is exciting with so much to see. New faces and places, it's all fun to me.
10- Always greet your loved ones with your voice and a smile.
11- Unconditional love, it's hard to explain. In part, no matter what happens you are always in my heart.
12- Though we have gone our separate ways, I am sure we will meet again. The ending of my life is not the ending of my days.
