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. ALWAYS!
