Episode 4. Kate's Story: Muffy's Legacy

Each of my dogs - past and present - have taught me lessons for which I'm very grateful. To celebrate Thanksgiving, I share some of these lessons. Today's interview is with Kate, a volunteer with the Seattle Animal Shelter. Kate & I talk about:  Her confusing (and hilarious!) first childhood encounter with a dog; How Kate’s family dog, Muffy, helped her navigate a complicated home life; How Kate’s volunteer work helps her honor the memories of and feel connected to her father and Muffy; and How sometimes loving dogs means knowing that your life is not conducive to having your own dog. Are dogs so special because of how they "hold space" for us? Here's a few links about this concept: From Tiny Buddha; From The Angry Therapist; From The Chopra Center; and 11 Ways to Help You Hold Space for Someone.
