What I learn from the dogs

The benefit of being a dog owner, above all the usual suspects such as: loyalty and companionship, is there are 3 things I can learn from my dogs.

1. Go after what he wants
In order to get his bone or scratch on the belly, he will do anything: he will play tricks, whine, let you pet him, look at you with his droopy puppy eyes while leaning his head on your chest. And believe me, it works every time.

2. Live here, now
Enjoy every moment of life. Enjoy the food they eat, the treats they get, and the moment they are let out of the house.

3. No bad feelings
Dogs don't hold grudges. No matter how late you get home, they are always happy to see you, and give you the welcome dance for 5 minutes. They can be whining and scratching behind the door to get your attention, but when you open the door, they are always happy to see you and ready to play.

These are the things I learn from my dogs, and they are wonderful traits that I need to be reminded once in a while.
