Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
When you’re happy, dance around, wag your entire body, and let everybody know.
On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.
Don’t worry about things you can’t control.
No matter how often you’re scolded, don’t just lay around feeling bad and pouting; run right back and make friends.
Delight in the simple joy of a long walk; study the birds and butterflies and bugs along the way.
