If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,
If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,
If you can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it,
If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time,
If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,
If you can conquer tension without medical help,
If you can relax without alcohol,
If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,
. . . Then You Are Probably . . .
After you're done chuckling, think about this: We look at the above list and consider it virtually impossible, and yet almost any dog can do it all, all of the time. They are truly a wonderful example for us!
