Things we can learn from our Kerry

Thanks to Kathleen C. McDonough and Linda Winkler

Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.
Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.
When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
When it's in your best interest, practice obedience.
Let others know when they've invaded your territory.
Take naps and stretch before rising.
Run, romp and play daily.
Eat with gusto and enthusiasm.
Be loyal.
Never pretend to be something you're not.
If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently.
Thrive on attention and let people touch you.
Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
On hot days, drink lots of water and lay under a shady tree.
When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
No matter how often you're scolded, don't buy into the guilt thing and pout...run right back and make friends.
Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
Stay inside when the weather is lousy. Relax and watch tv or read.
Take pleasure in scratching. Scratch leisurely and for a long time.
Take baths only when absolutely necessary. Wash feet in between times.
Enjoy seeing the world go by. Become a window watcher.
Cozy up to your Mom or Dad when you feel lonely. Give kisses without being asked.
Ride in the car with the windows open. Let your ears whizz out the windows.
Bark at all cats. Who *needs* them anyway?
