This comes from a blog and when I read about what the blogger said about what we can learn from dogs I kept nodding my head and wound up with a huge smile on my face. Totally agree with this dogs are so intelligent they know how to have a good life.
According to dogs:
When your loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
Never miss an opportunity to go for a walk.
Take a nap.
Stretch before you get up.
Run and have fun every day.
Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
On warm days, start lying on your back⦠in the grass.
On hot days, drink plenty of water and lie in the shade under a tree.
When you are happy, dance and wave your whole body.
Enjoy the simple joy of a long walk.
Be faithful.
Never pretend to be someone you are not.
If what you want is buried, dig until you find it.
When someone is having a bad day, be quiet, sit nearby, and be there yourself.
That is the secret to happiness we can learn from a dog.

That's a real clever dog who came up with that list.
A simple growl will do. That's quite funny.

@Ineeddentures but most of it is quite true. Wouldn't you do the dance of joy if you were real happy?

There's nothing better than to come home to a dog whose whole rear end is wagging.

@jstory07 I have been a cat person all my life but I might consider a dog now because he would keep me active, Of course, I also have to think about the expense perhaps one of those little rat-like doggies

@Juliaacv and some of those things people can learn from, Like wouldn't it be better if there was someone to meet you at the door when you got home instead of having to shout Anybody home?

That's true but my dog is drinking less water this year though it's very hot.
