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.
