- My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Any separation from you will be very hard and painful for me. Remember that before you get (or adopt) me.
- Give me time to understand what you want from me. Do not be impatient, short-tempered, or irritable. Please be patient with me.
- Place your trust in me- it is crucial to my Well-being.
- Do not be angry with me for long, and do not lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your friends and your entertainment, but I only have you.
- Talk to me sometimes, even if I do not understand your words, I understand your voice and your tone when it is speaking to me. You only have to look at my tail.
- Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget it.
- Remember before you hit me that I have teeth that can bite and scratch, but I choose not to bite you.
- Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I am in pain or sick, or my heart might be getting old and weak, and I cannot tell you.
- Take care of me when I get old. You too will grow old and may also need love, care, comfort, and attention.
- Go with me on difficult journeys. Never say, ‘I can’t bear to watch’ or ‘Let it happen in my absence.’ Everything is easier for me if you are there. Remember, regardless of what you do, I will always love you.
