Remember that they can't do a lot of things for themselves and
that they depend on you to make their life a quality life!
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 entertainment,
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 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 care of them.
Life would be a much duller, less joyful experience without God's
critters
~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!
May you always
walk in sunshine.
