Words of Wisdom from Guinness

Mom & Dad went to Connecticut to see my Grandma Simmons.  She lives where it's cold and snowy.  And they might not get home in time to help me with my blog, so I'm going to try and do it myself.  Just don't tell them.  I'm not supposed to do the computer by myself.

But I wanted to do it 'cuz I was reading a really good article while they were away.  It's called "Our Dog Years".  It was about this guy who adopted a stray puppy (like me) and he called him Foghat (Foggie for short).  Foggie lived to be 18 years old and had lots and lots of experiences with his humans.  (I have had lots and lots of experiences with my humans, too, but I'm only almost two, and I hope to have lots and lots more.)

Anyway, his human learned a lot from his puppy and I want to share it with you.  It's about getting older.  Well, I'm not getting old, but I AM getting older -- every day -- and lots of my friends are a lot older than me.  So I guess it's good advice for any age, 'cuz someday, we'll all be older.  I think.  Here's what his human said in AARP The Magazine:"

"Everything you do for a dog to help them age well, you should do with them.  So eat the best food you can afford.  Go for a walk, even if it's raining.  Take a lot of naps.  Keep your teeth clean and your breath fresh, so that the people you lick will not flinch.  And when someone you love walks in through the door, even if it happens five times a day, go totally insane with joy."

 



Till next week....
