RE: My Little Family - Part 1: Lola
Haha this is a great comment man, it's too true that dogs and probably other animals have affection figured out. I think we are conditioned to hide our emotions and close ourselves off to the world. Dogs can be a great model for us to learn from on how to be open to love, and how to love the simple things in life :)
Agree with what you say there, totally :). As for other animals, I have a year's experience of living with a cat - I'll use Eckhart Tolle's words to give you a sense of my experience (I used this in a comment elsewhere too, but the expression is great):
"I have lived with several Zen masters, all of them cats!"
I've never lived with a cat, but I don't mind them, they seem to just be doing their own thing which is great.
I haven't read much Tolle or listened to him often, but his views seem to align with the guys I follow, that's a great quote haha
Made a couple of observations on Shanti's doggy simplicity over the past couple of days, thinking about our exchange on this post :)
btw, read a book called Dogs Never Lie About Love reflections on the emotional world of dogs a year or so ago - very insightful.
Nice, thanks for the recommendation, my pup is the same about walks, even a short walk she appreciates, she's greedy about food though haha
