Animals as Mirrors

My two sweet dogs, Buddy and Casey have very different attitudes toward food. Casey loves to eat as fast and as much as she can. Buddy on the other hand, likes to approach more cautiously. He walks slowly around his food bowl, sniffing and waits to be gently invited to dine. Finally, when he actually takes his first bite, Casey has usually finished by gulping all of her food down. Then she begins to circle Buddy like a vulture waiting for any kibbles to slip out of his dish. Often, I ask her to sit quietly beside me while we wait for Buddy to slowly pick through his food. This is the ritual in our home morning and night.

Of course, I know my dogs are perfect mirrors for me and my attitudes toward food. In the morning I’m like Buddy and not very interested in food. However, often at night, I can feel Casey’s passion for munching possess me! Not to worry, I’m aware and working to bring this food issue into balance.

Recently my dear friend Janet gave me the book, “Money and the Law of Attraction” by Esther and Jerry Hicks. It’s a great book and I highly recommend it. Because of the important messages in this book, I decided to enjoy it as one might enjoy a fine wine. Instead of rushing through it quickly, I chose it to read it slowly section by section, morning and night.

So it’s morning, and as many of us do, I decide to multi-task. That is, read the book while Buddy is eating. Soon I discovered every time I would turn away from Buddy to read, he would stop eating. Then, when I would give him attention and encourage him, he would begin to eat his food again. Well, I know I’m not always ‘the sharpest knife in the drawer’, but after a few times of these stops and starts, I begin to laugh out loud. Leave it to my good friend Buddy to demonstrate to me exactly how the Law of Attraction works! He was showing me whatever I give my attention to, I will attract into my life! Thank you Buddy!
