Lessons from the dog!

For long dogs have been falsely accused of eating the homework, we don’t really mind it as long as it saves our young friends from the teacher’s ire 🙂

Good old Calvin had quipped, “I go to school, but I never learn what I want to know.” I have always believed that teaching isn’t restricted to classrooms and lectures, real learning happens in the open world. If we look closely, we can learn from everybody and everything around us. Here, I would like to share an email forward on lessons from the dog.

Dog homework funny — This homework looks hard! Do you want us to eat it?

13. Delight in the simple joys of a long walk.

14. Thrive on attention and let people touch you.

15. Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.

16. On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.

17. When you’re happy, dance around and wag your entire body.

18. No matter how often you are criticized, don’t buy into the guilt thing and pout. Run right back and make friends.

True! Reminds me of the line from Marley & me, “. . . owning a dog always ended with this sadness because dogs just don’t live as long as people do.”
