Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Remember, if a dog was the teacher you would learn things like: When loved ones come home, always run to greet them. 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 simple 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!

The little white dog was our constant camp companion every time we camped at our little private camping spot on my sister in laws farm, sadly she got taken by a snake a few months ago, we miss her greatly, the other little one still camps with us whenever we go there, they were both farm dogs but refuse to go home wher we are there.

These two little dogs were our constant companions every time we camped at our private little spot on my sister in laws farm, they were my sister in laws dogs but every time we went there they just refused to go home and stayed with us, unfortunatly the white one was taken by a snake a couple of months ago, the little dark one still comes and stays with us though. we just spent a week there and she stayed with us the whole time and refused to go home.
Couldn't resist this, from a Vet Shed Ad.
