With apologies to Rudyard Kipling

If…

If you can start the day without caffeine or pep pills,
If you can be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,
If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,
If you can eat the same food everyday and be grateful for it,
If you can understand when loved ones are too busy to give you time,
If you can overlook when people take things out on you when,
through no fault of yours, something goes wrong
If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,
If you can face the world without lies and deceit,
If you can conquer tension without medical help,
If you can relax without liquor,
If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,
If you can do all these things,


Then you are probably the family dog.

If you can train your people to obey your every command
If you can get the best seats for yourself
If you can use a wagging tail and an appealing look to get away with murder
If you can get some fool to take you out in all weathers

You are a successful family dog
