Climb That Fence and Take That Leap

BLURB:
Edmund
blasts across the yard against my calls to come in. He gleely runs off and I
chase him across the grass only to find a unique butterfly or a sky filled with
stars. As soon as I stop and admire, Edmund promptly comes to my side and rubs
against me.
Do
you ever wonder if there is more to your pet's behavior than meets the
eye? Sometimes their antics are more
than just random behavior. Can we learn
something about ourselves by watching them?
I
believe so and Climb that Fence take that Leap is a compilation of personal,
inspirational animal stories and the life lessons I gleaned from them.
After
enjoying these stories, hopefully you'll enjoy more quality time with your furry
friend and know what it takes to Climb that Fence and Take that Leap!

Excerpt
See the
situation for what it really is:
Puff was
afraid of imminent attack because he could see Amanda right in front of him.
Yet Puff was totally safe and didn’t realize it. If he would’ve stopped and
thought for a minute, he would’ve recognized that they were separated by a
glass door. He knew from past experience that if she were going to attack, it
would happen quickly.
Take a minute
and think back to a stressful situation. How would it have been different if
you had looked around at the surroundings and your place in them? Was there a
“glass door” that was keeping you “safe” but you didn’t see it? Were things
really as you initially saw them? From my experience, it’s far too easy to
assume that what we see is the truth, when actually the reality is very
different.
How many
times do we take something seemingly insignificant and make it a huge problem?
The larger we make the problem, the more stress we have. Why do we have to make
it larger anyway? Don’t we have enough to do?
Next time a
stressful situation comes your way, take a minute and analyze the whole
picture. Step back and see the situation for what it is.
