Lessons from a puppy

1) Always be excited when people come to your door- it makes them feel welcomed.
2) Never miss a meal, it keeps your blood sugar stable.
3) Sleep a lot, then sleep some more.  One can never sleep too much.
4) Play with kids.  They know how to enjoy life, and they don't take themselves too seriously.
5) Find one good toy, it will keep you occupied and prevent you from finding trouble.
6) Run through the sprinklers on a hot day.  Because who doesn't love the feel of cool water?
7) Take long walks to enjoy nature and your surroundings.  The birds, the wind through the trees, seeing your neighbors, it's all good!
8) Have a good relationship with your doctor.  In fact, be excited to see him/her EVERY time, as treats will follow.
9) Be on your best behavior when in a restaurant.  It will impress people.
10) Show unconditional love and expect nothing in return.
11) Linger by a roaring fire, and if led, nap there too.
12) Follow the trustworthy, but lead the blind.
13) Show those puppy dog eyes whenever it will prove beneficial.  A little can go a long way here, folks.
