1. there is nothing more frustrating than when someone teases you with what you want
2. find a private spot to do your business; nothing worse than people staring while you take a shit
3. all dogs (and people) are good. if they're mean to you, it's because they're scared or someone hurt them in the past
4. running is fun. you don't need music or fancy gear; all you need is a good partner
5. cuddles and licks (kisses) heal all wounds, whether they are physical or not
6. you can't stay mad for more than 90 seconds. that's the time it takes for the chemical reaction to pass through your body. if you're mad for longer, it's because you're holding a grudge
7. always take time to stop and check out something that catches your nose (eye), even if you're 'on the go'
8. the best part of tv is not watching it; it's cuddling
9. always forgive; it is not a good use of energy to dwell on things. but never forget; it helps you from repeating mistakes and shapes you into a better dog, i mean person
10. always freak out when the people you love disappear. you don't know if or when they'll come back
