ten commandments of pets

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.

1st january...new year come

here are the foursome now...the newcomer is being slowly integrated into the pack. i am still uncertain what to call him, for now it is Dasch! 

what you do see here is that how miraculously he is sharing space with the retrievers and not chasing after them, the manner he has been till today (he came on the 30th of Dec only) and now perhaps understanding who the 'worst dog' is (me obviously)

31st dec on the front lawn

today tis 31st dec and soon 2007 would have receded into the annals of history. another year turns and soon we would all have a little more great hair and soon laugh lines too:)

some of my laugh lines will come from watching the antics of my girls as i also record for this moment to share it with you. have a look for yourself.
