I consider myself to be an integral part of the family - don't treat me like a mere dog.
I will chase anything that moves - get used to it.
I will stick my nose into everyone's business and feel compelled to comment upon my observations.
If you should leave me behind, I shall consider this an aberration of proper behavior and will voice my disapproval...loud and long...often accompanied by frantic twirling and jumping.
I will determine which of your friends is worthy of my affection, and which are to be observed at a distance, before a verdict is rendered. All decisions are final.
I will follow you to the ends of the earth, and ALWAYS into the bathroom.
No door is considered to be closed as long as I can push it open with my nose.
Give me plenty of toys and activities to keep me busy. You don't want me finding tasks on my own - trust me on this.
I have absolutely no qualms about stealing FOOD, GLORIOUS FOOD from any source available, even if it is from the mouths of babes.
I will give you the best moments of our lives and memories you will cherish forever.
