A Dog's Advice

Keep life simple:
Wag your tail, knock everything off the table
Chase anything that runs
Always stop to pee on the roses
Be fiercely loyal to the ones you love
Forgive morons quickly
Don't growl or bite, keep your dignity 
Nap often as possible, eat with ridiculous gusto
Greet each day with a bark and a tinkle
The world is full of stupidity and danger, cats too
If you must explore be diligent, be careful 
When you're done with your run, your galavanting 
Always return home to the one who loves and puts up with you
