Cats and Dogs

Over a year ago i got two cats. About 2 months ago i got 2 dogs. As you could guess it wasn't good. For weeks it was the dogs see that cats and off to the races they go, usually ending with a cat up a tree. But it wasn't that the dogs didn't like the cats or vice-versa, it was that the cats didn't like the change. They were trying to avoid it. So much that one left for two weeks before she came back.

Kind of like people don't you think? We don't like change, I can tell you i don't. When things change we fight it. If someone new and different enters are life some of us will accept them, and others will shun them. It's just the way we are.

But that's not the end of the story. My cats eventually learned something, that no matter what they do the dogs were staying. And guess what, they learned to deal. They learned that if the dogs come at them to stand up and let the dogs sniff there butt. Wouldn't it be great if people were like that, if we could just accept the change and deal with it? So i leave you with this thought, when was the last time you let someone sniff your butt?

Just Think About It,
