Valeri, I am so sorry to hear of Jim’s death. I know that the thoughts from many of us on the TIPS list go out to you and your family.

I am sad to report that he died of a massive heart attack on Sunday evening. He was only 52. My 4 kids and I are still in shock and disbelief, but we are taking things 1 day at a time, as he taught us. We will miss him very, very much.

Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long.' So live like a dog: Live simply; Love generously; Care deeply; Speak kindly. Remember, if a dog was the teacher you would learn things 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. 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. Delight in the simple joy of a long walk. 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. ENJOY EVERY MOMENT OF EVERY DAY author unknown ~*~ ~*~ ~*~*~ ~*~ ~*~ --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [email protected].
