  1. Take naps and stretch before rising.
  2. Run, romp and play every day.
  3. If what you want is buried, dig until you find it.
  4. Never pass up a joyride.
  5. Don’t waste your food.
  6. Sniff things out before assuming they’re safe.
  7. Be loyal.
  8. Protect those you love.
  9. Drink lots of water.
  10. Don’t hold grudges.
  11. Let others know when they invade your space.
  12. Don’t bite if a growl will do.
  13. When loved ones come home, run to greet them.
  14. Mark your territory with abandon.
  15. Never turn down a treat or a walk.
  16. Love unconditionally. 🐾

    1. Tails Around the Ranch – Denver, CO – The inspiration behind this blog was one knuckleheaded Standard Poodle named Sam but is now inspired by a House Pony-Wilson. I'm Monika, the upright. Living in the Denver metro area, we post about dogs, rescue and nature. So grab your favorite beverage and be prepared to howl along with our adventures. And don't forget to bark your 'pup-tacular' comment; we'd love to hear from you.

  5. Great advice no matter how many legs you have. But us humans tend to need more reminders about these things than our pups.
