Charlie’s Dog Lessons for People
- Love unconditionally
- Take a walk outside every day (even if it is raining and your Mom keeps singing “It’s a Rainy Day… It’s raining outside, and we can’t go out and play.” It’s only water, and it shakes right off!)
- Forgive quickly and easily
- Play every day (and make your family play with you!)
- Be loyal and faithful
- Keep digging until you find what you are looking for
- Accept treats with gratitude
- Greet guests and strangers lovingly
- Drink plenty of water
- Eat all of your dinner
- Trust and follow your instincts
- Take naps
- Bark only when necessary
- Appreciate a simple life
- Be a best friend
Woofs & Wags,
Charlie

Hi Charlie. You must be a doggy guru with wisdom like that. Got any ideas on how we can get all humans to understand that they’re doing it all wrong? Woof! Ray.

My first ever Re-Blog. Charlie Dog makes a lot of sense – more than most humans do in my opinion. Well done Charlie Dog for passing round the good advice. Ask your human for some extra treats – you deserve them.

What a great post!!! what people could learn from their pets.
I loved each one of these Jodi. Appreciating, the simple core basics of life….. not the ‘gottahaves’…. SO important. The other one I think most of us, put in the attic is trusting our gut, intuition because I guess its just not polite to think those things eh?!!
Charlie, you are looking handsome as always, hugs from ‘auntie debi’ in Oz 🙂 cheers, Debi
