I certainly do. And I feel that much of the world has somehow gotten away form that. Too often I see people rushing into elevators without giving those inside a chance out first, or never saying “Thank you” when others hold the door open for them. We get lazy. And in our laziness, we think that something, like a simple “Thank You” doesnt really matter. But it can matter very much. The fact is that no matter how nicely we dress, or how beautifully we decorate our home, we cant be truly elegant without good manners because elegance and good manners always go hand in hand. In fact, I think of the good manners as a sort of hidden beauty secret. Havent you noticed that the kindest, most generous people seem to keep getting prettier? Its funny how that happens. But it does. Take the long-lost art of saying “Thank you” like wearing a little makeup or making sure your hair is neat.

Give her a box to lie in. Put some papers in the box. Then she can tear them up for her puppies. It will make a good bed for them. 一位母亲的狗可能是想一个人呆着,当她准备好让幼犬。但是你仍然可以帮助。送她一盒藏身。把一些论文在盒子里。然后她会撕裂他们来弥补她的小狗。它将成为一个好床。The mother dog might have only one puppy. But she could have as many as 12. The babies drink milk from the mother. They will do this until they are about 6 weeks old.妈妈的狗可能只有一只小狗。但她可以有多达12。婴儿从母亲喝牛奶。他们会这样做,直到它们大约6个星期老了。New puppies are very small.
