Mark,
This article was sent to me in in April of this year after my second golden retriever was diagnosed with cancer of the Nares, Murphy is still with us and everyday is a blessing..I dread the day that we will have to say goodbye.Everyday he brings so much joy and unconditional love to us and some days he acts like nothing is wrong.
The attached message is from a friend who knew the day we were told Murphy had about 4 months to live..That was 7 months ago.
HERE YOU GO. I LOVE YOUR SHOW AND AGREE WITH SHAWN YOU ARE THE GREAT ONE.

People are born so that they can learn how to live a good

Life — like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?” The

Six-year-old continued, “Well, dogs already know how to do that, so

They don’t have to stay as long.”

Live simply.

Love generously.

Care deeply.

Speak kindly.

Remember, if a dog was the teacher you would learn things like:

When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.

Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.

Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure

Ecstasy.

Take naps.

Stretch before rising.

Run, romp, and play daily.

Thrive on attention and let people touch you.

Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.

On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.

On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.

When you’re happy, dance around and wag your entire body.

Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.

Be loyal.

Never pretend to be something you’re not.

If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.

When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle

Them gently.

ENJOY EVERY MOMENT OF EVERY DAY!
