-
My life is likely to last 10
to 15 years. Any separation from you will be painful
for me. Remember that when you buy me.
-
Give me time to understand
what you want of me.
-
Place your trust in me - it's
crucial for my wellbeing.
-
Don't be angry with me for
long, and don't lock me up as punishment. You have
your work, your entertainment and your friends. I have
only you.
-
Talk to me sometimes. Even if
I don't understand your words, I understand your voice
when it's speaking to me.
-
Be aware, however you treat
me, I'll never forget.
-
Remember before you hit me
that I have teeth that could easily crush the bones in
your hand, but that I choose not to bite you.
-
Before you scold me for being
uncooperative, obstinate or lazy, ask yourself if
something might be bothering me. Perhaps I'm not
getting the right food, or I've been out in the sun or
in the cold too long, or my heart is getting old and
weak.
-
Take care of me when I get
old. You too, will grow old someday.
-
Go with me on difficult
journeys. Never say: "I can't bear to watch
it", "Let it happen in my absence" or
"I am tired of you". Everything is easier
for me if you are there. Remember I Love You.
