A PET'S TEN COMMANDMENTS
1. My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Any separation from you is likely to be painful. 2. Give me time to understand what you want of me. 3. Place your trust in me. It is crucial for my well-being. 4. Don't be angry with me for long and don't lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your friends, your entertainment, but I have only you. 5. Talk to me. Even if I don't understand your words, I do understand your voice when speaking to me. 6. Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget it. 7. Before you hit me, before you strike me, remember that I could hurt you, and yet, I choose not to bite you. 8. Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I'm not getting the right food, I have been in the sun too long, or my heart might be getting old or weak. 9. Please take care of me when I grow old. You too, will grow old. 10. On the ultimate difficult journey, go with me please. Never say you can't bear to watch. Don't make me face this alone. Everything is easier for me if you are there, because I love you so. |
This always brings me to tears-my pets are such close friends.

This breaks my heart. People treat their beloved pets and children so cruelly, yet claim to love them. |

Bless you for this posting. Have loved all my dogs and been with them when their time came. Have 2 older girls now - chihuahua 13yrs. and poodle 14yrs old. One of the blessings of Heaven will be reuniting will all our old "friends."

That had me crying.... :-(

This is a great reminder of what all people should do with their furbabies and other animals we call our pet, children, bestfriends. I have lost several over the years and like losing my Dear Daughter, these babies give and give even after they are gone we are reminded daily of the love we shared.
Thanks for posting this. |

Each and every fur baby owner needs to read and to sign a contract stating that they will adhere to this and never stray from it.

I love those ten commandments. As my fur babies came to live with me I always followed them. The last one is the hardest but none have gone without me by their sides.
