My situation was different than Nokona’s but we both had to deal with cages. Nokona says that he learned a big lesson from Jet about being in a cage. She told him that though his entire life was spent behind bars, he had the greatest disposition. She told him that she was very proud of him because he was and is incessantly (word of the day) happy. She said it was partially because he was so young, but mostly because he could see beyond the bars to better things. His head had no cage around it so his spirit wasn’t trapped even when he was.
As for me, I had no cage. - Far from it. I had streets. It was just as bad as Nokona’s situation but different. Jet says that my cage was the fence around my heart when she rescued me. I was afraid of many things. It’s kind of like when Nokona plays on the bed and hides his head in the pillowcase until Jet “finds him”. I wanted to hide all the time.
This brings me to the lesson of the day... People live in cages sometimes. (I’m not referring to the jail kind). The cage is around their heart or head. They can’t get out of the ruts in their life so in a way even though they are free to walk around, they are caged. Sometimes you can’t see the cages around you (like humans) and sometimes you have to overcome the cages that trap you (like puppy mill dogs). If you will be courageous, you will eventually be just like Nokona and I and have the confidence to be adventurous, happy and outgoing again.
Okay, here’s the question of the day from Daisy who asked: My human is about to have a birthday. I was thinking of giving him a big bone I’ve had buried in the backyard. It’s my favorite.
Dear Daisy:
You are incredibly thoughtful to offer your best bone to your human. However, you should know that humans appear not to appreciate a good bone like dogs do so my suggestion is that you simply offer your unconditional love for another year since I believe this is the best gift we give humans.
