Dog Days
Hello. Here is a little poem that a professor at school gave me (a friend of his wrote it). I enjoyed it and I hope you do to. Take what you want out of it.
If a dog was the teacher
If a dog was the teacher, you would learn stuff like:
When Loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
Never pass up the opportunity for a joy ride.
Allow the experience of fresh air and wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.
When it is in your best interest, practice obedience.
Let others know when they have invaded your territory.
take naps.
streach before rising.
Run,romp, and play daily.
Thrive on attention and let people touch you.
Avoid biting when a simple growel will do.
On warm days, stop to li on your back in the grass.
On hot days, drink lots of water and lie onder a shady tree.
When you are happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
No matter how often you are scolded, don't buy into the whole guilt thing and pout...run right back and make friends.
Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
Eat with gusto and enthusiasm. Stop when you have had enough.
Be loyal. Never pretend to be something you are not.
If you want what liet buried, dig until you find it.
When someone is having a bad day ,be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently.

Death, Politics, Photography, camping stories, Corperate world, computer geek talk, Musical equipment questions and now dog poetry all on one page. I love the variety.
the idea of being a dog is a good one, they seem to enjoy life with reckless abandon. Not to mention running around naked all the time and chewing on anything that suits me (two of my dreams). but if we were all dogs, there’s that whole thing of sticking our noses where the sun don't shine to recognize each other. i don't know about you (you might be in to that and that's alittle fruity) but i find the practice of butt sniffing a turn off. it might even ruin the whole dogs experience for me... but yeah, that's just me

I have to say though, that if the dog tried to teach you about dental hygiene you would be best served ignoring that lesson.
Awesome post though!
I can't wait to get a dog!!!
By the way, how is this a poem? Not to be snobby and I know they don't have to rhyme, but this one doesn't even seem to have a rhythm or anything. It's more like a really cool list.,
Jase, I think it was written an another language and translated into english, so that would explain the lack of rhythm and rhyme.
Guapo, good point. I think they left out the sniffing thing on purpose. That is a little hard to address in a constructive manner.
GOT IT! That makes sense then. Hmmm .. . I have to file that away, in case anyone ever doesn't like my lyrics, I'll just say they were written in another language and translated into English.
hey.... I saw a really awesome quote a while back that went something like this: "There is no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy licking your face." I think that is really cool because puppies just love... they don't try to pry into your business or act condescending (not that all psychiatrists are bad... I know they aren't) but puppies just rock... and I love that quote :-)
