Just because I like to be kind,
Just because I believe that dogs should have choices,
Just because I believe that I can teach my dogs without using discomfort, pain or fear,
Just because I prefer to be my dog's parent/friend and not their boss,
just because I like my dogs to be under the cover, keeping me warm on a cold night.
Just because I like using food and herbs to heal my dogs,
just because I like my dogs to be a little bit feral,
does NOT mean I am weak. It doesn't make me too soft or a pushover. It doesn't mean I don't have boundaries, limits or rules.
I just do not feel the need to be controlling. My ego doesn't need my dog to behave like a robot to impress you. In fact, I couldn't give a s**t what you think about how my dog behaves because I know we are happy and I know I make them feel safe.
Some of the most powerful, influential people in the world have proved that power and strength come from mindfulness, wisdom and love.
Remember that it takes courage to be kind.
