What we can learn from our Yorkie

Yorkies have so much to teach us if only we are willing to learn. Here are just a few things you can learn from your Yorkie.

My friend Margo sent me the following and I just loved it. It sums it all up what a dog can teach us.

******************************************************************************

Remember, if a dog was the teacher you would learn thing like:


When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.
Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.
Take naps.
Stretch before rising.
Run, romp. and play daily.
Thrive on attention and let people touch you.
Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass
On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.
When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
Delight in the simply joy of a long walk.
Be loyal.
Never pretend to be something you're not.
If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by, and nuzzle them gently.


ENJOY EVERY MOMENT OF EVERY DAY!

I love the one about never pretend to be something you are not. One of the things I love about my Yorkie Buddy is he doesn't pretend to be anything but what he is. Buddy knows he is a dog, although mommy thinks of him as a fur child. Buddy likes being a dog, doing dog things and being treated like a dog (in the best of ways). I love that Buddy is simply Buddy and he is the best Buddy he can be. There is a good lesson right there. Are you the best you that you can be? Another great lesson from a dog.
