Moseley’s Tips
Moseley (1996-2010) my beloved canine Guru and Sage to many, shared her tips for living:
Don't take yourself too seriously. You usually just create embarrassing drama.
Get plenty of rest and don't worry too much about things you can't control.
Rediscover your inner puppy. You are never too old for a wild run with a squeaky toy.
Some people look at it as the "same old walk", but to me it's all brand new every day.
Be sure to play and exercise, doing something you enjoy.
Don't assume everyone is as nice as you. Get to know someone before you run too far away with them.
Stop and smell the... well, I recommend you smell everything.
Turn around from time to time and look behind you. The progress is inspiring, and the view may surprise you. (And besides, there might be some other dogs following your lead.)
If you're ever in trouble, it's best to stay quiet and keep a low profile.
Discover the wonder and awe every day.
Be proactive. (Sit before you're told and you might get a treat!)
Anticipate the next fun thing you might get to do.
Practice every day, being the dog you want to be.
Don't jump on people. They hardly ever like it.
Crotch sniffing is best left to dogs.
Respect older dogs and dogs of other cultures.
Forgiveness is usually as good for you as it is for the other person.
It's ok to get mad but don't let it stay too long.
Strive to be good, but remember everydog makes mistakes, so don't be too hard on yourself. Remember: you're only canine!
Be thrilled about something every day.
The world is not necessarily fair, so don't set yourself up for unrealistic expectations.
But you can trust that the Universe provides what you need. My food bowl is constantly and miraculously replenished.
Dig it all.
