“Dogs lean on the pack for survival and comfort. Intuitively, they understand how maintaining strong relationships creates a stable, harmonious life for all pack mates. But humans are buried underneath piles of work and family stress. Their over-complicated lives leave them too tired to build strong relationships outside their inner circle. Even relationships within their circle can suffer. With too small of a circle, when a tragedy happens, they are often left out in the cold, alone in their ordeal, their decisions, their pain.”

“At Bear’s Lodge and beyond, the lesson was: Go and Do. Every morning, Jerry would hop up the three steps to their small RV bedroom and squeeze into the tight spot next to Jim. His polite whimpers said, “Get up!” Go out and do things, seek adventures, create memories, and love every moment. Don’t waste your time watching the world go by. Get out there and live the life that makes your heart happy. Jim and Rene got the point; his messages were sinking in with every new adventure.”
