Lindor's wisdom

Our chocolate Lab Lindor gives the impression that a bag of hammers is slightly smarter than he is. In actuality he oozes wisdom. Here are a few things he has taught us over the years.

                                                                       
        When loved ones come home, always get up to greet them.   
        Take naps.
        Stretch before rising.                                         
        Run, romp, and play daily.                                     
        Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.                      
        On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.           
        On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.   
        When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.      
        Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.                      
        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.
