Michael Starr

Today on The Neil Haley Show, Neil "The Media Giant" Haley will intreview Michael Starr.    Language has a remarkable impact on our thinking, actions and relationships. My dog Rippy reminded me of this big time! We have two rescue dogs, Rippy and Lola. Rippy, a tan and white colored Chihuahua with darkened sad looking eyes, is the latest addition to the family. I found that unlike Lola, he would shy away from my efforts to pet him. Now, five years later, Rippy still folds back his ears and retreats when anyone walks quickly toward him or he may growl, then strike out and try to bite their ankles. I remember a few weeks after we adopted him, my wife Karen telling me to “be patient” in response to my comment: “this is the most unfriendly dog we have ever had!” I was right, yet I was wrong. I was about to poison my relationship with him.
