How To Train Your Dragon

 I have thought for a few weeks on this writing, this subject. I have food for thoughts with some message behind my rhetorical lessons. I am a broken record that seems to be repeating the same message and it has fallen deeply on deaf ears. I am to the point; why bother? The inner voice just says give up... no one wants what you are selling, speaking, or the life I am trying to build. Not everyone sees life like I do nor are they willing to change their societal routine to have more, a different life and happier existence. After 4 years of on and off and a full year to myself, I have come to the conclusion, I would have better luck training a dragon!

While I am on the subject of training, the adage, you can't teach an old dog new tricks and expect him to roll over and be thankful for the new learning curves, & an exciting way to do things; Cause and effect apply to all and we can thank Paslov for his experiments. Teach the dog a routine, entice him with a reward, and watch how habit becomes the greater part of his existence. Throw in a few good boy's! You did a great job! Pat him on the head, show affection, feed him, and watch him retreat to his spot (in life) or in this matter the couch. Repeating these actions till the day he dies. (never wanting more)

I just recently lost my dog, Bruce. Bruce was a boxer pit mix that was I believe to be 9 years old. I do not know what happened. He had gotten very thin and then his stomach ballooned up. His face had turned seriously gray within a matter of a month. He, for the last 2 mos had been slowing down. I contributed it to our lessons in winter manners. I was leaving him a bit more out of his crate and he would find his spot mostly below my feet but more often to a place on the rug where he would adoringly watch me with his big cow eyes move about waiting for a command or a treat! Bruce was a hot mess! Neurotic, anxiety-ridden, and very temperamental. He tolerated my cats, love his partner (my little dog), and for all points intended, was a digger and extremely vocal! I was his 3rd owner. I did not know too much about his beginnings or how he was treated but from what I saw in the 7 years I had him, he was not treated kindly in the beginning part of his life. I believe they, the first owners made him aggressive or a fighter dog. His second owner could not keep him due to an illness and it was my oldest that does not like animals said, "mom you need this dog. Once you see him, you will want him!" and I did!

I looked at Bruce like a child in need. He just needed guidance, reassurance, and lots of affection. In the beginning, I walked him until he broke thru his choke collar. He was barrel-chested and sported a huge head and grew to be in size at almost 110 lbs. My, big baby that I swore said mama when he wanted only me to pay attention to him. I am devastated. I want him back and I pray, without the neurosis, he is reincarnated into the next puppy that I am slowly searching for. We are lost. My youngest buried him next to our Gunnie, our Yorkie mix which laughingly, Bruce was not fond of him either!

Teaching an old dog new tricks really depends on how willing the dog wants to become and how secure he is made to feel while transitioning into a new life form. I do not look for pats on the back with that one but I know I made a huge difference in that Bruce's life and he bonded with me like no other dog I had ever had; even as he was dying, he never took his eyes off me. I hugged and kissed him and told him he was a good boy and he was mama's boy and I loved him. It was god awful. I know me and this one I will never recover from.

Jokingly at my work, I made the comment, why is it I can train an animal dogs, cats and even my horse which I often refer to as my 1200 lb dinosaur but I can not convince another human, the life I am trying to make provisions for is better for all parties concerned. A long life filled with more long-term value than a routine meal and a spot on the couch. I am sure I would be great at training a dragon. "Sit! Hold your breath! Stop with the fire! and did I tell you, you could fly? I said sit! Stay!" I'm convinced!

It's Saturday, shortly I will get myself together and run out to my Ruby. My 1200 lb dinosaur Im sure she is missing me. Happily, she awaits for my groundwork command, runs from the pasture to me and of course, it's followed by treats. We have upped the annie to some high protein supplements for her hooves and mane that I mix with apples or carrots. During this 35-minute ride out to her my mind methodically is putting together a business plan. I may have found a banker that will listen to my ideas. (multiple ideas) As a business coach, I can not stress enough on how to have a multi-stream income. This endeavor for myself is no different.

In all seriousness, I see things very differently, and altho environment has taught do the routine thing and just be happy with the things that make you unhappy or physically may make you sick in the long run; My training methods are about how willing a person is to take that risk and forgo the norm. I am not saying don't use logic but how available and ready can a person's mind and mental capacity be when taught and trained being adversely aligned with another thought process? Proving cause and effect applies to humans also by stimulating the hard-wired mind for a better condition.

Parts Of The Missing Puzzle

****When He Had Her**** She didn't need to explain anything to anyone anymore. That was the thing about hurt, grief and anger, she did what she needed to do to cope. Over a long period, she had been through more emotional hell than anyone could imagine With no choice left, she had picked up the pieces and replaced them in some order. At this point, the only thing that mattered was how her current pieces were gonna fit! It was a puzzle, missing pieces with no rhyme or reason. Speculation, deductions, detective work, voices from a crowd that loved to talk... and who had seen first hand. A mystery... with no resolve. Questionable choices made from drunken behavior. Low self-worth on his part that he would settle for the likes of an unappealing manipulating repulsive looking woman. She had caused enough ruckus amongst quite a few of his kind and yet he let her bull doze her way in. For the sake of not being alone and letting someone put his house in order. What had he said to her...

The Other Side...Of What?

 I think where I last left you, last blog post, I was stepping back. I was changing things, redirecting, grabbing my camera and heading... SOMEWHERE! As an entrepreneur, you get to change it as many times as you desire! You wear many hats, many glasses, switch up products and you get to offer as many services as you are talented to do! Since our last visit, I rejoined AVON and re-signed with the Gourmet Cupboard. I also am waiting on status to be a brand ambassador for l'ange hair products and tools! I have ordered new business cards for my photography, I had another art show and I had a fabulous painting class that I taught for 11 women! I had 4 brand new tires put on my car and again had some exhaust issues fixed on the vehicle that at this time, I am keeping instead of trying to maintain a new car payment. That may have more to do with new car payment vs horse board! I said I was stepping back but it looks like I just went in another direction... AGAIN! The podcast set up I had ...
