So, in all my lives as a dog, here’s what I’ve learned. Have fun, obviously. Whenever possible, find someone to save, and save them. Lick the ones you love. Don’t get all sad-faced about what happened and scrunchy-faced about what could. Just be here now.

_Friends come in all sizes!  
That’s a fact, it’s true!  
All the colors of rainbow  
From mauve to blue,  
The names are different,  
The shoes don’t match,  
Some like to toss  
And others to catch,  
One might say grasp  
While the other says snatch,  
Because… friends come in all sizes!  
Take it from me, golly gee!  
Size doesn’t matter  
When you want some friendly patter  
From a pal who is true,  
And will lift you up when you’re blue!  
You can count on him,  
He can count on you!  
It’s true, it’s true,  
Friends come in all sizes!_
