Live with Purpose

My mother sent me an article from Parade Magazine written by Cesar Millan.
This one page jewel on “What Your Pet Can Teach You “ is the same type of information I receive from your beloved animals. Each one of our animal companions has a purpose, as do we. We all need to “work”, to contribute
to the world around us. What happens when you have no purpose, are bored or
are overlooked ?

Animals that have lost or never had a purpose can develop issues from anxiety
to aggression. Our friends can also decide to teach us a lesson and wander off.
Just like small children our animal friends can leave the yard to teach us a lesson.
Unfortunately they are unable to tell the well-meaning person that has found them they wish to return to their people and where they live.

Penelope you ask, just what is your point?? Your animals look to you to provide emotion and intellectual stimulation as well as physical exercise. Imagine what your life would be like just hanging out in the yard waiting for someone to notice you?
What if your best friend no longer acknowledged you when you are in the same room?

It is really simple to give your friend a job. My kitty Jessie loves to be told he’s doing a great job! His job is “Grounding”, he is in charge of keeping Mom energetically on the ground. He does his best work on me while I sleep. His “Buddha physic “ makes him a natural as well as a living paperweight. Streaker the dog is the Clam orderly type; he keeps “The schedule” for the home. Phoenix the kitten, is “The Master of High jinx”, he keeps me laughing and playing! You of course are free to give whatever title to your “Kids” that suits their personality. Remember “Killer” is usually reserved for large guard dogs and barn cats. Dachshunds and Chihuahuas can have emotion issues when referred to as “Killers” or Defenders of The Home. Master of Love or Official Greeter, Champion Snugger etc. are great roles for dogs of any size or any animal. Give the title of the quality you want elevated.

This past week I have been in contact with other communicators that have been inundated with lost animal cases. Please notice your critters and show them extra affection and attention. Giving more love adds to the quality of life of every being on the planet.
