Ten Commandments for Pet Owners

Ten Commandments for a Pet Owner

1. My life is likely to last 10 to 15 years. Any separation from you will be very painful.
2. Give me time to understand what you want from 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. I have only you.
5. Talk to me. Even if I do not understand your words, I understand your voice when it is speaking to me.
6. Be aware that however you treat me, I'll never forget it.
7. Before you hit me, remember that I have teeth that could easily crush the bones in your hand, but I choose not to bite you.
8. Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if something might be bothering me.
9. Take care of me when I get old. You, too, will grow old.
10. Go with me on difficult journeys. Everything is easier for me if you are there.
REMEMBER I LOVE YOU.
