It’s been almost a full month since we lost Charlie. And as I sit out here with Monster and a cat, I remember when we first got him about five years ago… There’s not one person who met or knew Monster (and his story) who would believe he would be laying outside near a cat and not trying to go after it. (Well maybe just one person, our friend Christy .pawsitivity, who helped us learned what we needed in order to get to this point)
Heck, there’s even a little bit of amazement in me because I too didn’t think this was possible.
People have asked me how Monster is doing and are surprised when I tell them: he is just fine.
You see, I’m a firm believer that everything in nature communicates through energy. Animals are no exception.
I’ve made it a point to make sure that Monster keeps the routine, make sure we are not allowing ourselves to stay too still, and having as much of a calm demeanor as possible so that he does not feel an off energy from us.
We can’t control a lot of events in our lives, but we definitely can control how we react and respond to them. We can learn to keep a calm demeanor in the middle of a storm, we can learn to be more positive, and by default, be better leaders to these creatures.
The trust, respect, and calmness that Monster has now happened because of keeping that mindset, I won’t take it away from him by doing the opposite.
