我第一次看時很是感動
我把最感動的這一句畫出來…
（我覺得1, 4和10都很感動呢~>_<~）


希望想養寵物的你
或是在養寵物的你好好想想
寵物不是人的奢侈品
而是家庭成員 ^_^
養寵物是一輩子的責任啊

寵物給主人的十大叮嚀

(1) My life likely to last ten to fifteen years. Any separation from you will be painful for me. Remember that before you buy me.
在你把我帶回家之前，請記得，我的壽命約有10~15年；若你離棄我，會是我最大的痛苦。

(2) Give me time to understand what you want of me.
請給我一點時間，讓我了解對我的要求是什麼。

(3) Place your trust in me–it’s crucial to my well-being.
信賴我–那對我非常重要。

(4) Don’t be angry for me for long and don’t lock me up as punishment. You have your work，your entertainment and your firends. I have only you.
請別對我生氣太久，也別把我關起來當作是懲罰。你有你的工作，你的娛樂，你的朋友，但你是我的僅有。

(5) Talk to me sometimes. Even if I don’t understand your words. I understand your voice when it’s speaking to me.
請偶而對我說說話，縱使我不懂你說的內容，但我聽的懂，那是你的聲音在陪伴我。

(6) Be aware that however you treat me. I’ll never forget it.
你要知道無論你如何對待我，我將永遠不會忘記。

(7) Remerber before you hit me that I have teeth that could easily crush the bones of your hand, but that I choose not to bite you.
當你打我時請記得，我其實擁有可以咬碎你手骨的尖銳牙齒，我只是選擇不咬。

(8) Before you scold me for being uncooperative，please ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I’m not getting the right food, or I’ve been run in the sun too long or my heart is getting old and weak.
當你因為責罵我的不合作、固執或懶惰之前，請你想想，是否有什麼正困擾著我。或許我沒獲得我應有的食物，我已經很久沒在溫暖的陽光下奔跑，又或者我的心臟已經太弱及太老。

(9) Take care of me when I get old. You too, will grow old.
在我年老時請好好照顧我，因為你也是會變老的。

(10) Go with me on difficult journeys. Never say I can’t bear to watch it or let it happen in my absent. Everything is easily for me if you are there. Remember, I love you.
當我要捱過最辛苦的歷程時，請千萬不要說：「我不忍心看他。」或者「讓我不在場時才發生。」只要有你和我在一起，所有的事都會變得簡單容易接受。請你永遠不要忘記，我愛你。
