a pet's ten commandments.

Published Jun. 9, 2008

I was sent this in an E-mail today...of course after I read this I was sitting at my computer crying....

1. My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Any separation from you is
likelyto 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.
Youhave 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
yourvoice 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'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
careof them.  Life would be a much duller, less joyful experience without
God'slittle 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
earthand has four legs!

Thank you for sharing this.

my dogs are 8, 9, and 10 years old...starting to really bother me to think about them getting old. Luckily, Jack Russells can easily live to be 15 or older, but I can't imagine being without them...

yep, got me too, in a big way. Especially since it's been less than a month since my gypsy crossed rainbow bridge. Wonderful list however! Thanks for that, it's a keeper if you don't mind.

Cute picture, too! :-)

This is wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing this.
