Living with PN, do you find yourself retreating from life?

@ray666 We have two small dogs, each less than 15 pounds. Anytime I go to the kitchen, they are right behind me, and the older dog, now 13yo, tends to get underfoot easily. They are well-fed.... too much so.... yet anytime there is activity in the kitchen they are there hoping that something may drop on the floor... or that if they beg longingly enough we might be a soft touch and offer a treat, which often happens. 😉 Take care! Mike

Hi, Mike (@domiha)

Ah, yes, small dogs – and cats, which tend to be small (unless you've a panther) – they can be hazardous, yes, but they can also be instructive. I used to fuss at my cat ("Get out of the way!"), but now I see him as a PN coach, teaching me to be extra attentive as I pad about the house. His weaving about as I go has actually improved my balance surveillance skills, making me a "safer" walker. I've cometo regard small animals as PN helpmates (that's less true of gerbils 🙂 ).

Here's wishing you a pleasant Friday, Mike!
