Pot of Gold Poem

06.09.2023

I swear sometimes I feel like I found a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow
When I look back to how little of a clear connection I had with dogs in my early life
When I look back to how mysterious it all seemed
It seemed some just got good dogs and others got bad dogs
It seemed like there was always going to be a feeling of fear
Frustration
Confusion
Conflict
Management
Attached to being with a dog long term
When I see how my own dogs are and my clients who put the real work in are
It’s like we found something that is magical or mystical
And oh so valuable
So follow the rainbow of your intuition
Your heart
Your gut
And keep the hope alive
And if you lose sigh of the rainbow change what you are doing
Til you feel that you are on the path again
Many stop searching before they really start and many search in all the wrong places
Today it’s even harder than ever
So many people saying they know the way
They have the answer
They have the solution
But here is the secret
The solution
The answer
The secret
It’s Deep inside of you
And your dog
A trainer can show the way and lead you
But ultimately it’s up to you to find that pot of gold
It’s up to you to keep following the rainbow
And know that every rainbow that ever came
Only happened
After the rain
