Ten Commandments for Pets
 

Just wanted to share this with you all.

" The 10 Commandments for Pets "
As read by Warren Eckstein on The Pet Show

1. My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Any separation from you will be painful for me.
Remember that before you get me.

2. Give me time to understand what you want from me.

3. Place your trust in me. It is crucial to my well-being.

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

5. Talk to me sometimes. Even if I don't understand your words, I understand your voice.

6. Be aware that however you treat me, I'll never forget it.

7. Please don't hit me. I can't hit back, but I can bite and scratch and I really don't want to do that.

8. Before you scold me for being uncooperative, obstinate or lazy, ask yourself if something might be bothering me.
Perhaps I'm not getting the right foods or I've been out in the sun too long or my heart is getting old and weak.

9. Take care of me when I get old. You too will grow old.

10. Go with me on difficult journeys. Never say, "I can't bear to watch," or "Let it happen in my absence."
Everything is easier for me if you are there. Remember, I love you.

That was very good to read. Thank you for sharing!

A must read for anyone who is considering to buy a pet!!!!

thanks for sharing..:thumbup:

just gotta love them to pieces ...
 

Very sweet and true ! :love: it!

Oh that brings tears in my eyes every time I read this. Dogs are so sweet and innocent. They are our true best friends you could ever have! Their love is just so unconditional! :love: I wish all people would understand that having a dog is a big responsibility. I cannot stand when they look at dogs as they are toys and accessories.

I have seen this post on myspace before but I ll copy it to my page, I want to have it in my blog :)

Evertime I read this I feel guilty about being on the puter and I get on the floor and play with the girls. it brings tears to my eyes also. :cry2:
good nite!

Same here with tears in my eyes, specially the last line.
This is really sweet

off to an early start today!
 

Oh Monday, how very sweet. Thank you, thank you for sharing.
I'd rather see this and say something about it,
than respond to something silly like "ban the person above me" ... (if you know what I mean)

I have tears in my eyes and am going to wake Freeway up soon and hug him to bits.
I'll get Muffy later.

Thank you again!

I just love that!

So true, all they want to do is love us and be with us. I have passed up so many invitations because of my babies, and don't regret it for a moment. They are so special.
