I found this on a thread on another forum, Im not sure who the author is, the poster on the other forum didnt either. This should be placed on every pet store door.
1: My life is likely to last several years or more. Any separation from you will be painfull for me. Remember that before you get me.
2: Give me time to understand what you want from me
3: Place your trust in me. It is critical to my well-being.
4: Don't be angry with me for long and don't punish me. You have your work, entertainment, and friends, and I only have you.
5: Talk to me sometimes. Even if I don't understand your words, I understand your voice.
6: Be aware that however you treat me, I'll never forget it.
7: Please don't hit or abuse me. I can't hit back, but I can bite and scratch and I really don't want to do that.
8: Before you scold me for being uncooperative, obstinate, or lazy, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I'm not getting the right foods or I've been left in the sun too long or my heart is getting old and weak.
9: Take care of me when I get old. You will grow old too.
10: Go with me on difficult journeys. Never say "I can't bear to watch" or "let it happen in my abscence." Everything is easier for me if you are there. Remember, I love you.
