These boys have something to say…

They talk joy... They see you coming and start wagging their tails like crazy, jumping up to say hello, where were you all this time, I’m so glad you came… They’re brothers, classified as Anatolian shepherds, guarding their flock. They’re kind and loving, but they’re guard dogs, so anything unusual coming within a mile of their territory will spark them off, and they’ll bristle and bark with their deep voices to announce the news. Coyotes and bears, even porcupines, beware! Other dogs, too. They’re true and faithful to their flock, and no one except a friend is allowed near. They are unerring, they know the score at all times. We call them guard dogs, give them names, pet them and talk to them. But we don’t really “know” them. We are too human and think too much to know what a dog is. They have an advantage: they don’t think like we do all the time. They just go with the flow and do what the universe wants… Virtues incarnate, hearts of gold, brave boys who play and tumble in the snow. A little rough with each other, much gentler with frail humans. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could learn a little humanity from them? Yet we can if we practise our own Self-Awareness and heighten our experience to open up our human minds a little more. And break down the barriers, fences and gates that constrain us.
