A PET'S TEN COMMANDMENTS

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 only have 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' am not getting the right food or I have been in the sun too long, or my heart might be getting old and 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.

~~Take a moment today to thank God for your pets. Enjoy and take good care of them. Life would be a much duller, less joyful experience without our little critters.

We do not have to wait for Heaven, to be surrounded by hope, love, and joyfulness. It is here on earth and has four legs.

I just received it on an email but had never seen it before...guess it has been around for awhile. I thought it was soooooooooo good. That is a great idea to post it on your website.

jadecomputergal · 06-30-2008, 07:22 AM

I'd never seen it before. It's not sad, but it made me cry, I guess because it made me think about people who don't follow it.

Thanks!

Wow, That brought tears to my eyes. Thanks for sharing. I have never read that before.

I wish people would read this before they buy a pet. So many don't understand the huge commitment they are making, and think of only their short term desires. Thanks for posting.
