After reading “Advice from a Dog” on a beautiful card by Ilan Shamir of Your True Nature, I started thinking about everything my dogs have taught me. I have two “career change” dogs from Guide Dogs for the Blind. Sanchez is an 8-year-old Yellow Lab. If Sanchez had a tag line, it would be “It’s All About Me.” If he could talk, these are the words I think he would share with me:
Be patient
Life is All About You
Treats are the answer to everything
Great days start with tummy rubs
Don’t sit at the computer for too long
If you really want the ball, then you go get it
It’s always a good time for a hike, as long as it’s not raining
Break out into moments of craziness when people least expect it
Play the piano everyday, and keep helping improve the lives of dogs worldwide with your music!

+ add your ownNice teaching , I love my Tinkerbell and I will now practice all these phrases when I am with her and my family .
Animals are so smart and show emotion and gratitude, as well as pain, they have instincts that are so much more powerful than human's instincts. we just have to look, pay attention, show love to them and listen..........they can't talk(except for some birds)but they communicate w/ us if we pay attention.
That dynamite comes in the form of my chihuahua! that its ok to be scared of thunderstorms, that there is nothing like cuddling up under the blankets with someone you love and watching a movie, reading a book, or just relaxing. that no matter how mad, sad or upset you get a good kiss makes it all better. That someone will always be glad to see me when I come home and how to not care when you look crazy doing silly stuff.
Unconditional love
They are Gods gift to humans, they teach us how to love, great companions & all they waqnt in return is a good back scratch,tummy rub some food, and to give you wet kisse's. spell God backwards and you get DOG, think he is tryiny to tell or spell us something. Just treat all animals with love and respect, if you listen to your doggie that is what he is teaching and showing us.

Patience, how to scratch, how to hate doctors, how to jump for joy and squeel with delight. Tear around for no particular reason, how to stalk, how to act stupid and how to love unconditionally!
Pure love!
They are angels with fur.
Unconditional love
