Durability is being able to carry my dog whenever she needs and to be fully with her and present, when it's time to say good bye
*note: at this moment, my girl Priah has a CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH, this is a hypothetical and realistic possibility in the FUTURE, way, way, way down the line*
So a couple weeks ago, Priah and I had a minor medical scare, turned out to be something remedied with some probiotics and a bland diet for a couple weeks, but it got me thinking...
If you're like me, you see yourself as your animal's guardian and protector. It's our job to provide a safe and secure environment where they are loved and cared for and prevent or relieve any unnecessary pain.
I felt a lot of feelings in the 90 minutes time between I called the vet and we had our visit; I can't prevent hurt, and when someone or something I love hurts and I can't relieve the hurt, it is gutting for me
I realized in that moment, it's not about me
Priah just sees me has the person takes care of things and loves her, and how do I do that?
And that's the best embodiment of physical and emotional durability I can ever come up with
This is my definition, this is my scenario, there are thousands of iterations, and this is what my practice helps people do
