There was a shyster in the news recently. He was a dog trader who was charging too much for half-breed rather than purebred dogs. (Personally, we’re all purebred’s to God but humans seem to think it is important to differentiate the two.)
They caught the guy and he did a little time. Now he’s out of the big house (dog house to me) and ready to go back to selling puppies. I asked Jet, “Should we trust him to do the right thing now? She didn’t answer for a REALLY long time. Then she said, “Is one mistake a pattern?”
I hate when humans answer a question with a question.
No. One mistake does not make a pattern so I guess Jet’s point is that the guy should get another chance to make a new (better) future. On the other hand, how many chances do you get before there is a pattern of mistakes? When is it time to cut loose from a chronic mistake type person, client, marriage, or job? Is it when the stress level in your life sits on ‘astronomical’ two months straight? Is it when you grow an ulcer? Is it when life looks better on the other side of anywhere else than where you are at the time? How long do you hang on (and at what cost)?
I’m a dog. I don’t have the answers to these questions. Funny thing is that most humans don’t know the answers to these questions.
So, here’s my lesson of the day… Just because you don’t know the answers, don’t stop asking questions. Just because you make one mistake, you don’t have to make your life a mistake.
Q Okay, the question of the day is from Dolly who asked: I just saw something very strange: a big reindeer giving birth to another reindeer.
Dear Dolly:
You seem real sweet which is probably a good thing because I’m not sure you’re real bright. You’ve witnessed the birth of an elk. I’d give this a “10” on the ‘wow’ factor.
