What has your dog taught you about life?
I have had my dog for 12 years this month, and he has taught me more about life than anything else I’ve encountered thus far. He’s taught me that sometimes all you need is a good cuddle, and then you have to get back up and do something. He taught me that rainy, cold days are for sleeping, and sunny days are for laying in the grass. He taught me that regardless of where you came from, or what you believe, you should get at least one shot to be a friend. He taught me that you can love someone besides yourself so much that it breaks your heart everyday to see them grow old and weak as you grow older and wiser. He is deaf and blind now, and although he’s much less rambunctious than he once was, he is still, and will always be my baby. <3
love love love this! we could all use some life advice from our dogs!
love this!! my 2 pugs have taught me the same lessons. amazing animals. 🙂 murphy is adorable!
Murphy gives great advice!
Love this post!
Our dog is 14 years old, can’t see or hear very well anymore, but still thinks he’s a puppy. He teaches me optimism and to not let things slow me down.
If we listen carefully our dogs can teach us about essential nature of acceptance in love
My dog taught me:
1) to never leave food unattended!
2) that if your sleep was more important than her cry at night you will surely find pee on the floor the next morning… :S
3) that selfless love is real!
Loved your post!!
Amazing! Simple yet deep advice from a dog! 😀 🙂
Life advice from Murphy-this is so amazing, made me smile, laugh and reflect. Thank you for this post!
My Boston and my Pug have taught me the meaning behind the saying “dog is man’s best friend.” After losing a husband and almost a daughter, as well as a house and a job, I am so grateful to have my dog to go home to every night. I think it’s possible to love a dog as much as another human. I’m now more involved in doing things to help dogs and people in other parts of the world. If A Pug Owner would like a loving family to rescue him from his pug, I will take the Pug. It’s not a “working” breed.
Love this!! Murphy is indeed a wise soul. 😉 My husband and I are hoping to get a little doggie this year. Can’t wait to see what he/she has to teach us about life! 🙂
He is so precious! I’ve never been particularly drawn to pugs but I always smile when I see a picture of Murphy.
i don’t have a dog, but man I want a king cavalier so bad, maybe 1 day.
this is like unconditional love like having a baby, only difference is a dog is less work and doesn’t cry all day. 🙂
I’d add one more thing…wear a seat belt (they have special harnesses).
Love this!
Murphy has some of the best facial expressions! And I love all of his advice! Such a wise little guy! Thanks for sharing him with all of us!
I love this post! I have 2 pugs and they bring me and my family so much laughter and happiness every day 🙂 and of course they have the best advice!
Add one more to the list – love unconditionally.
I remember you telling us about murphy’s frito face…I just read this article about it and thought you’d appreciate it!
