I have only you. 5.Talk to me.Even if I don't understand your words,I understand the voice when it is speaking to me. 6. Be aware that however you treat me...I will never forget it. 7.Before you hit me,remember that I have teeth that could easily crush the bones in your hand, but I choose not to bite you. 8. Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative,ask yourself if something might be bothering me.Perhaps I'm not getting the right food,I've been out in the sun for too long,or my heart may be getting old and weak. 9.
