Fwd: FW: Purpose of a Dog
Purpose of a Dog
to all my dog loving friends
Dogs Purpose?
(from a 6-year-old).
Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish
Wolfhound named Belker. The dog's owners, Ron, his wife Lisa, and their
little boy Shane, were all very attached to Belker, and they were
hoping for a miracle.
I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer. I told the family
we couldn't do anything for Belker, and offered to perform the
euthanasia procedure for the old dog in their home.
As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be
good for six-year-old Shane to observe the procedure. They felt as
though Shane might learn something from the experience.
The next day, I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker's family
surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the last
time, that I wondered if he understood what was going on. Within a few
minutes, Belker slipped peacefully away.
The little boy seemed to accept Belker's transition without any
difficulty or confusion. We sat together for a while after Belker's
Death, wondering aloud about the sad fact that animal lives are shorter
than human lives.
Shane, who had been listening quietly, piped up, ''I know why.''
Startled, we all turned to him. What came out of his mouth next stunned
me. I'd never heard a more comforting explanation. It has changed the
way I try to live.
He said, ''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. There comes a time in life, when you walk away from all
the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people
who make you laugh, forget the bad, and focus on the good. So, love the
people who treat you right. Think good thoughts for the ones who don't.
Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is part of
LIFE... Getting back up is LIVING...

Fwd: Fw: Heart Attack and Water
Subject: Fw: Heart Attack and Water
Subject: Heart Attack and WaterHeart Attack & WaterABOUT LEG CRAMPS-----WHY WE GET THEM----NEVER HEARD THIS BEFORE
A doctor was asked why do we and other peopleurinate (pee pee) so much at night time.Answer from this cardiac doctor was gravity holds water in the
lower part of your body when you are upright. When you lie down and the
lower body (legs and other things) seeks level with the kidneys it is then
that the kidneys remove the water because it is easier. This then ties
in with the last statement!
You need your minimum water to help flush the toxins out of your body!
Correct time to drink water... very Important.From A Cardiac Specialist!
Drinkingwater at a certain time maximizes its effectiveness on the body:
2 glasses of water after waking up - helps activate internal organs
1 glass of water 30 minutes before a meal - helps digestion
1 glass of water before taking a bath - helps lower blood pressure
1 glass of water before going to bed - avoids stroke or heart attack
Please pass this to the people you care about......and others.
The physician said that water at bed time will also help prevent night
time leg cramps. Your leg muscles are seeking hydration when they cramp and
wake you up with a Charlie Horse.
