Hello there! We sure do love our animals, don’t we….. and we know for sure they love us back! That suggests a “relationship” to me. So here’s a fun question: Do you “own” a dog (or other species…)? Do you “have” a dog (in the sense that you “have” a house and a car…)? Or perhaps you are “in relationship” with your animal, just like family members are in relationship. The words “own’, “have” and “relationship” are very different from…..
Ganny: For sure it’s true that my pack was a bunch of characters. There were six of us plus our human person, of course. So if I could count the toes on both my front paws, our pack was one less than all my front toes. Does that make seven? I think it does. We were three big guys, three little fuzzy guys, and one human. Like Bj said, all together we were twenty-four paws and two feet.
This tale began with a deep personal reversal in my life that led to a whole new direction centered on animals. It has been and continues to be enormous fun. More than that, it has opened up a whole new world of learning.
