We just got very good news about one of our dog's health and were reminded of the incredible joy these little fur balls bring into our lives! Recently I listened to a video by Eckhart Tolle who shared that our pets, when well cared for, are living the "total bliss" we are often seeking in our own lives.
That is why when we sit and pet our dogs and cats, our blood pressure goes down and we are drawn into our pets' lives and their peace & calm immediately.
I thought I would share this wonderful list of Wellness Tips We Can Learn From a Dog (author unknown):
*Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joy ride.
*Let the experience of fresh air in your face be pure ecstasy.
*When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
*Let others know when they've invaded your territory.
*When it's in your best interest, practice obedience.
*Take naps and stretch before rising.
*Run, romp, and play daily.
*Eat with gusto and enthusiasm.
*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.
*Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
*On hot days, drink lots of water and lay under a shady tree.
*When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
*If you're scolded, don't buy into the guilt thing, run right back and make friends.
*Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
Hugs,
Colleen :-)
