As Dictated by the pet

This made me think of Mickey and Domino and then I cried. They gave me their love and devotion I hope I returned it enough for them to have understood they were my life.

As dictated by the pet.
~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~
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 entertainments. 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 have teeth
That could easily crush the bones in Your hand, 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,
Or 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 that difficult journey,
On that 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.Take a moment today to th! ank God for your pets.Enjoy and take good care of them. Life would be a much duller,
Less joyful thing without God'scritters.Please pass this on to other pet owners. We do not have to wait for heaven
To be surrounded by hope, love, and joyfulness.
