A Pets Ten Commandments
 

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 entertainments, 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 have teeth that could easily crush the bones in your hand, 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 difficult journey, 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 thing without God's critters.

thankyou, that just melted my heart

Me too! I am hypersensative today! That brought tears to my eyes! :)

AAaaaaawwwww. Made me cry.

Oh heavens, if I don't stop crying at my computer people are going
to think I've finally lost it!:confused:
That was beautiful and I could only wish that more humans would
read this and understand it from a pet's view.
Thank you for posting that.

How very true those words are. Thank you for the post.

That was lovely...I was thinking of my Heidi when i read that last one..:(

Every word is true.

Oh gosh. I\'ve been looking at Petfinder all afternoon for a possible new adoption....this really choked me up. ESPECIALLY #10. :(

I love that! So true! Thanks for posting it.

Awwwwwwwwww.

I wish everyone could read this, especially those that are cruel to animals, i would staple it on their foreheads if i could.

4. Don\'t be angry with me for long and don\'t lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your friends, your entertainments, but I have only you.

Everytime I read this #4 always makes me cry...

Thats great
