We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails.

If a dog was the teacher you would learn stuff 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.

When it's in your best interest, practice obedience.

Let others know when they've invaded your territory.

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.

No matter how often you're scolded, don't buy into the guilt thing and pout... run right back and make friends.

Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.

Eat with gusto and enthusiasm. Stop when you have had enough.

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.

On their way to get married, a young Catholic couple is involved in a fatal car accident.

The couple find themselves sitting outside the Pearly Gates waiting for St. Peter to process them into Heaven. While waiting, they begin to wonder:
Could they possibly get married in Heaven?

When St. Peter showed up, they asked him.
St. Peter said, “I don't know. This is the first time anyone has asked. Let me go find out.” and he leaves.

The couple sat and waited, and waited. Two months passed and the couple are still waiting. As they waited, they discussed that if they were allowed to get married in Heaven, what was the eternal aspect of it all.
“What if it doesn't work?” they wondered, “Are we stuck together forever?”

After yet another month, St. Peter finally returns, looking somewhat bedraggled.

“Yes,” he informs the couple, “you can get married in Heaven.” '

“Great!” said the couple, “But we were just wondering, what if things don't work out? Could we also get a divorce in Heaven?”

St. Peter, red-faced with anger, slammed his clipboard onto the ground.

“What's wrong?” asked the frightened couple.

“OH, COME ON!” St. Peter shouted, “It took me three months to find a priest up here! Do you have any idea how long it'll take me to find a lawyer in heaven?!”

Wife: If I dismiss the cook and make the food
  myself for a month, what will you pay me?
Husband: I won't have to pay you,
  you'll get my entire insurance amount..

Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute,
  and it seems like an hour.
Sit with a pretty girl for an hour,
  and it seems like a minute.
That's relativity."

What the world really needs is
  more love and less paperwork.
