When he is happy； he wags his tail。 If he isn’t feeling well； he cries。
When he wants to play； he jumps into my lap。 When he doesn’t feel like playing； he walks away。
Munchie has never lied to me； and I trust him。
5、遮遮掩掩干什么（图）
QUIT HIDING
我们去海滩玩时，只有小孩子和麦奇光着身子不穿泳衣。他才不为赤身露体害羞呢。
在正式的聚会上，他仰面朝天，呼呼大睡，非常不雅地露出下身的私密部位。
经过一个能“汪汪汪”学狗叫的玩具时，他不会以为是某个看不见的怪物在捣蛋，也不会把它当作“裤子鬼”。
如果碰到一条漂亮的法国波特儿犬，显而易见，他兴奋得不得了。他把自己的身体看得再自然不过。他把一切事情都看得再自然不过。
When we go to the beach； the only creatures without bathing suite are little children and Munchie。 He is not ashamed of his body。
At social gatherings； he goes to sleep on his back with his underbelly and private parts showing。
When Munchie passes doggie gas； he doesn’t blame it on invisible animals or“trouser ghosts。”
When he sees a cute French Poodle； he gets visibly excited。 He accepts his body as natural。 Munchie accepts everything as natural。
6、想要什么就说出来（图） 。 想看书来
ASK FOR WHAT YOU WANT
在寒冷的夜晚，麦奇会跳上我的床，钻进我的被窝。
看到我出去散步，他会跟在后面。
如果发现有棵树很不错，他就会拼命扯着链子要过去。
麦奇知道他可以有各种各样的欲望。如果想要什么，他就会直截了当、明明白白表达出来。
有时候他得到了，有时候没得到。无论结果如何，至少他要求过了。
On cold nights Munchie jumps up into my bed and crawls under the covers。
When he sees me going for a walk he follows me。
When he spies an attractive tree he tugs on his leash。
Munchie knows it’s okey to have desires。 When he wants something； he makes it plain and clear。
Sometimes he gets it and sometimes he doesn’t。 At least he asked。
7、眼睛盯住球别放（图）
KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE BALL
我拿着网球准备扔出去的时候，麦奇牢牢盯住我手中的球，眼睛一眨也不眨。这一幕将告诉你什么是全神贯注。
我发誓，他的眼睛一秒钟也没有离开过球。我换成另一只手拿球，把球藏在背后，或者把手揣进兜里，但麦奇的眼神始终没有错过我的任何一个动作。
如果我也能像麦奇盯牢球那样，牢牢盯住我的目标，还有什么得不到的呢？
If you want to learn the power of one…pointed concentration； watch Munchie keep his eye on the tennis ball as I am getting ready to throw it。
I swear； his eye does not leave it for a moment。 I can change the hand that holds the ball； put it behind my back； or stuff it in my pocket； and he does not miss a movement。
If I would just stick to my goal as intently as his eye sticks to the ball； I could get everything I ever wanted。
8、跟着感觉走（图）
LISTEN TO YOUR BODY
麦奇累了就睡，睡够了就起来。
他饿了就吃，填饱了肚子就从食盆旁边走开。
如果有人抚摸他，他就呆在原地不动，发出满意的哼哼声。如果他觉得难受，就把正在做的事情停下来。
如果草地上阳光明媚，他就躺下打个盹儿。如果天气糟糕，他就呆在家里不出门。
他总是走来走去，感觉良好。
When Munchie is tired； he sleeps； when he is rested he gets up。
He eats when he is hungry； and walks away from his bowl when his tummy is full。
When someone pets him； he stays right where is and groans with delight。 When he is in pain he stops what he is doing。
When he finds a sunny spot on the grass； he lies down and naps。
When the weather is bad he stays in the house。
He moves his body a lot； and he feels good。
9、好好照顾自己（图）
TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF
有一次，麦奇追车玩的时候，尾巴被车碾伤了。为了早点好起来，他躺在垫子上静静修养。不论什么时候经过他藏身的小角落，我总能看见麦奇躺在那里，嘴巴搁在前爪上，等待着伤口自然康复。
几天后他就行动自如了，又叫又闹，在车库的地板上撒欢儿，弄得脖子上的铃铛叮当作响，满屋子转悠着找饼干。
我不由得想，如果我们人类受伤了，有些人怎么做呢？我们可能会接着追逐车辆，更努力地工作，或者把时间浪费在怨天尤人上。麦奇凭借他与生俱来的智慧把一切处理得井井有条。他很聪明，该休息的时候就休息，他很爱自己，所以很珍惜自己。
Munchie’s tail was run over by a car he was chasing。 To heal； he laid down on his mat and rested。 Whenever I passed his little nook； there was the Munchster； lying quietly with his snout on his paws； allowing nature to do its part。
After a few days he was back in action； barking； tinkling on the garage floor； and charging the house in hopes of getting a biscuit。
I thought about what some of us humans might do if we were injured。 We might just keep chasing cars； work harder； or blame someone and waste time plaining。 Munchie let all of that go in favor of his natural wisdom。 He was smart enough to rest when he needed to； and loved himself enough to do it。
10、请放松（图）
RELAX
麦奇从来没有听说过什么是“清教徒式的工作狂”。（他的处世哲学更接近“玩乐至上主义”。）
他从来不用打上下班的考勤卡，也不会因为贷款利率提高而忧心忡忡，当电视里拉什·里姆鲍夫出场时，他也不会连连惊呼。
他相信，生活有自己的安排，他不想作徒劳的挣扎。
麦奇知道，他的生活目标就是快乐地体验冒险。
Munchie has never heard of the Puritan Work Ethic。 （His philosophy is closer to the Pure Tan Play Ethic。）
He doesn’t punch a clock； get nervous when mortgage rates rise； or yell at the television when Rush Lim…baugh es on。
He trusts that life will take care of him； and he doesn’t struggle。
Munchie knows that his purpose in life is to enjoy the adventure。
11、自娱自乐（图）
ENTERTAIN YOURSELF我不在家的时候，麦奇总能想出许多自娱自乐的点子。他会追汽车玩，闻死青蛙的味道，睡懒觉，还会拜访左邻右舍。
在麦奇眼中，世界就是一个大游乐场，总有一些好玩的人和事能让他开心。
他从来不把生活分为工作和玩耍。他到哪里都能发现开心事儿。
When I am not at home Munchie finds plenty of amusements。 He chases cats； sniffs dead frogs； naps； and visits neighbors。
The world； through Muncie’s eyes； is a big playground。 There is always someone or something to keep his life exciting。
He doesn’t divide life up into work and play。 He finds joy wherever he is。

12、自嘲（图）
LAUGH AT YOURSELF有些时候，我敢发誓，麦奇一定是在笑。他那小小的狗嘴巴向后咧开，还吭哧吭哧直喘气，仿佛知道某些我所不知道的事情似的。
真正令我恼火的是，当我自我感觉太良好的时候，他似乎在窃笑不已。
或许，他是想告诉我什么吧。
Sometimes I would swear that Munchie is laughing。 His little doggie lips pull back and he pants as if he knows something I don’t。
What really annoys me is that he seems to laugh when I have taken myself too seriously。
Maybe he is trying to tell me something。
13、偶尔挣脱链子（图）
GET OFF THE LEASH OCCASIONALLY
出去散步时，如果离开公路比较远了，我就把麦奇的链子松开。一旦他发现自己自由了，就会马上冲进灌木丛中，嗅个心满意足，同时频频抬腿撒尿，其抬腿的频率比芭蕾舞演员还要高。他热爱自由。
当然，我们有自己的责任，尽到这些责任是很重要的。
但是，适当的放松也同样重要。我们应该时不时放松自己，让我们的心灵像风一样自由。
呱呱坠地的时候，我们脖子上并没有戴着链子。撒手西去的时候，我们也没戴着锁链。逗留于尘世间的日子里，我们也应该给我们的灵魂一个自由呼吸的空间。
During walks when we get away from the road I let Munchie off his leash。 As soon as he feels free； he dashes off into the bushes； where he sniffs to his heart’s content and lifts his leg more often than a ballet dancer。 He loves to be ； we have responsibilities； and it’s important to take care of them。
But it’s also important to cut loose when we can and let our spirit be as free as the wind。
We were born without a leash and we leave this world without a leash。 While we’re here； we need to give our soul room to breathe。

14、与合适的人交往（图）
CHOOSE YOUR RELATIONSHIPS对于那些他信得过的人，麦奇总是毫无保留地和他们玩在一起。
至于那些他不喜欢的人，他干脆避而远之。
他从不与伤害他的人呆在一起。
他从来不觉得自己必须跟某人在一起。他从来不必为偿还过去欠下的孽债而忍受痛苦。
他对朋友忠心耿耿，对其他人则不闻不问。
When Munchie trusts someone； he is fully present with them。
When he doesn’t like someone； he steers clear of them。
He doesn’t stay with people who hurt him。
He has no concept that he has to be with anyone。 He does not suffer to pay off Karma from past lives。
He is loyal to his friends and lets everyone else go their way。
15、保卫你的领地（图）
PROTECT YOUR BOUNDARIES
我的狗从不怀疑他有权拥有自己的空间。他知道自己的领地的范围，并且保护它不受侵犯。
一旦任何陌生来客——无论是长轮子的还是长腿的——靠近房子，他就会发出警告的咆哮，令人毛发倒竖。不管黑夜白天，他总是在那儿警告任何可能的入侵者。（如果他过去了他们还不赶紧跑开，他就会“亲”他们几口；这一招相当管用。）
麦奇的领土意识实在太强了，连大狗他都敢惹。一只杜宾犬有时会跑到附近来，但是她也在“麦奇安全防御体系”前退却了。尽管麦奇比一只兔子大不了多少，但这没关系；他知道自己的权利，他的邻居们也尊重这些权利。
My dog has no questions about his right to his space。 He knows his territory； and he protects it。
The moment any foreign object with wheels or legs es near the house； his hair…trigger bark alarm goes off。 Night or day； he’s there to announce potential intruders。 （If they don’t run away when he approaches； he starts kissing them； we’re working on that one。）
Munchie’s intention is so strong that he intimidates big dogs。 Sometimes a Doberman es around； and she yields to the Munchie Security Service。 The fact that he is no bigger than a rabbit doesn’t matter； he knows his rights； and his neighbors honor them。
