My "Lesson" of the Day
As I sit and contemplate how things are going with me, my life, my business, my job, I am reminded of one of my favorite dog sayings:
"When you feel dog tired at night, it may be because you've growled all day long." - Unknown
So my February lesson of the day is to remember my poor little Jack. He was a beautiful amazing dog. A little blue chihuahua. He changed after life changed on him. His "sister" who he had been bonded with his entire life died. He developed a horrible infection in his toe and lost his toe. Afterwards, he was never the same. He growled, snarled and complained all day long. If another dog looked at him, looked in the kitchen, looked at a toy, walked by him, looked at the food bowl. Didn't matter. Just anything that even remotely resembled showing up in his territory, which became everything in the universe. We tried so many things with him, anxiety meds, extra attention, separating him, etc. But I think when he lost Brandy and then his toe, it was too much for him. The lesson in that is to remind me to not focus on what is lost, but on what the future holds.
