The Pets Bill of Rights

1. We have the right to be full members of your family. We thrive on
social interaction, praise and love.

2. We have the right to stimulation. We need new games, new toys,
new experiences and new smells to be happy.

3. We have the right to physical exercise. Without it we could
become hyper, sluggish, or fat.

4. We have the right to have fun. We enjoy acting like clowns now
and then, don't expect to always be predictable.

5. We have the right to quality healthcare, please stay close
with us and the Vet.

6. We have the right to a good and healthy diet, like some people
we don't know what's best for us.

7. We have the right to not be rejected because of your expectations that
we be great show dogs or cats, watchdogs, hunters, or babysitters.

8. We have the right to the proper training, otherwise our good
relationship could be marred by confusion or strife, and we could
become dangerous to all around us.

9. We have the right to the guidance and correction based on
understanding and compassion, rather than abuse.

10. We have the right to live with dignity and to die
with the same.... at our time to let go.
