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 could hurt you, and yet, I
choose not to.
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 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 God's critters~
Now please pass this on to other pet owners.
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!
There is no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy
licking your face . . .
Or a kitty in your lap purring . . .
Or the soft nicker of a horse as you enter the
barn . . .
