Uplift Your Life: Nourishment Of The Spirit

Dogs didn’t come into my life until they became my first “grandchildren.” I was used to cats, but large dogs were a new experience for me. As I learned more about dogs and started relating to them as individuals, I developed loving and meaningful relationships with each of them. On a recent visit, I was calling for my daughter when their dog came up behind me, gently pushed me to get my attention, then turned around and led me to a closed door. My daughter was behind the door. Before I knew that this dog speaks to me through body language, I might have thought she was pushing me or poking her nose in personal areas. Not now, though. My automatic response was to turn around and follow her. To provide the best life for our dogs, we need to know the truth about their needs and behavior. Here are just a few myths that we will dispel: dogs love us unconditionally; we are dogs’ best friends; and all dogs need is a bed and food. Please join us Thursday to learn the truth about dogs.
