-
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.
