TEN COMMANDMENTS from a PET'S Standpoint
I. My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Any
separation from you will be painful for me. Remember
that before you get me.
II. Give me time to understand what you want from me.
III. Place your trust in me. It is crucial to my
well-being.
IV .Don't be angry with me for long, and don't lock me
up as punishment. You have your work, entertainment
and friends. I have only you.
V. Talk to me sometimes. Even if I don't understand
your words,
I understand your voice.
VI. Be aware that however you treat me, I'll never
forget you.
VII. Please don't hit me. I can't hit back, but I can
bite and scratch and I really don't want to do that.
VIII. Before you scold me for being uncooperative,
obstinate or lazy, ask yourself if something might be
bothering me. Perhaps I'm not getting the right foods
or I've been out in the sun too long or my heart is
getting old and weak.
IX. Take care of me when I get old. You will grow old
too.
X. Go with me on difficult journeys. Never say, "I
can't bear to watch" or "Let it happen in my absence."
Everything is easier for me if you are there.
Remember, I love you.
The greatness of a nation . . . can be judged by the
way its animals are treated
