A Dog's Best
Friend
O Lord, don't let me
once forget
How I love my trusty pet-
Help me learn to disregard
canine craters in my yard
Show me how to be a buddy
even when my sofa's muddy,
Don't allow my pooch to
munch
postal carriers for lunch,
Shield my neighbor's cat
from view,
guide my steps around the
doo,
Train me not to curse and
scowl,
when it's puppy's night
to howl,
Grant I shan't awake in
fear
with a cold nose in my
ear,
Give me patience without
end-
Help me be "A DOG'S BEST
FRIEND."

Things We Can
Learn From A Dog
Never pass up the opportunity
to go for a joyride.
Allow the presence of fresh
air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.
When loved ones come home,
always run to greet them.
When it’s in your best
interest, practice obedience.
Let others know when they’ve
invaded your territory.
Take naps and stretch before
rising.
Run, romp and play daily.
Eat with gusto and enthusiasm.
Be loyal.
Never pretend to be something
you’re not.
If what you want lies buried,
dig until you find it.
When someone is having
a bad day, be silent, sit close
by and nuzzle them gently.
Thrive on attention and
let people touch you.
Avoid biting when a simple
growl will do.
On hot days drink lots
of water and lay under a shady tree.
When you’re happy, dance
around and wag your entire body.
No matter how often you’re
scolded, don’t buy into the guilt thing and pout... run right back and
make friends.
Delight in the simple joy
of a long walk.

The
Vow - author unknown
I take thee
puppy to be my friend
my companion
a member of my family,
for better or worse,
through sickness and health,
Through moving or
adversity
You shall not be
surrendered
I promise to feed
you well
And fresh water
you shall always have
I will train you
with praise and love
And never will I
deny you veterinary care
If the quality of
your life is overcome by suffering
And the cure is
not to be found
I promise to let
you go, with grace and dignity
Until we meet again.
