No questions about where you havebeen or why you were late. They are just veryhappy that you are home.They are great at knowing when to take a napor on warm days they know when to stop andlie back in the grass and relax.One of our Poms that we had was good at reminding me when it was time for a break fromthe computer by jumping up on my leg for someattention.
On hot days, they drink lots of water and finda nice shade tree to get under.When they are happy, they just dance aroundand wag their entire bodies. No matter how often they are scolded, theydon't bear grudges...they just run right back and make friends.Most dogs will avoid biting when a simplegrowl will do.
( Could this be applied to somepeople's over-reaction to spam messages ?)Dogs like to run, romp and play daily, and yetthey can find delight in the simple joy of a longwalk with you.They can eat with a great deal of gusto andenthusiasm, but stop when they have hadenough.They are loyal. They never pretend to be something that theyare not.
( gurrrus...maybe ?)If they want something and it lies buried, theysimply dig until they find it.When someone is having a bad day, they canbe silent, sit close by and nuzzle gently.Well, wouldn't life online and off be simpler andbetter for all if we adopted many of the qualities thatwe find in our dogs ?Hoping that you have a GRRREAT day !Best of luck in your online efforts .Larry Johnson, Author(C) 2002, All Rights Reserved.Article may be reprinted with permission by including the following resource box:^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^BIZ SITE BIZ E-ZINE, a Free weeklybusiness promotion newsletter full of timely tips, original"How-To" articles, resources, quotes and humor. http://www.BizSiteBiz.com/Come on down and join us as we discover better waysto market and promote on the internet !Subscribe by e-mail: mailto:[email protected]^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Source: Free Articles from ArticlesFactory.com .
