View Article  The appeal of the common cow pat!

Well look at me aren’t I growing up! This is a picture of me on my lawn.  I am just relaxing after my bath, which was necessary (or so Hilary told me) as I had been familiarising myself  with some canine beauty scrub which I came across, just waiting to be rolled in in the cow field!

I can’t understand what the fuss is about really, it smells and tastes much nicer than that foamy stuff that I was smothered in in the bath.  Oops better go now as Hilary is coming back and I am not supposed to be on the chair, let alone posting to a blog!

Hi readers, I can’t believe how dogs can find cow pats so appealing, when we are programmed to opposite effect!  It made me realise that we have brought dogs into our homes and expect them to behave according to human standards.  To a great extent they be trained to be a sociable house guest, however outside they still demonstrate,  some instinctive things that we will never be able to change entirely (and nor do we have the right to).  Perhaps it is the same with us, can we always change our deeply entrenched behaviours all the time?  Maybe not, however what we can do is adapt to different environments taking the lead from those in charge, allowing different groups to live and work together effectively.   Perhaps we have a thing or two to learn from dogs who are open to behave in a way that is acceptable to owners when appropriate, whilst still not forgetting how to be a dog when out and about!

I have always loved locks especially old ones. They seem to have a beauty of their own and carry memories of days/people gone by. Many are worn dripping with the effort of restraining water.

 

But I particularly like what they are and what they do. At first sight they are an end; they block the way forward. Yet, with a little time and practice, they allow change; close the gate on what had been, and the water level can rise or drop allowing the opening of the next stage in your journey.

 

Most of us face locks as we travel through life: no focus, no motivation, no confidence… they stop us in our tracks. Just imagine if there was a way to open the gate to let uncertainty drain away and energy, motivation flood in; what possibilities would lie ahead?
