Hi,
I have been working with shelter dogs for the last 20 years. The following is not in the vein of boasting,etc. It is just that I actually may have some of the pieces of the puzzle on mammals, people, dogs, etc. First of all, I am a left handed, obsessive-compusive, narcoleptic, with the gene for color-blindness stuck into my dna. Needless to explain, the whole group makes me a bit quirky in thought and deed. I did start out very interested in psychology– and as I aged/experienced life, my panorama and take on situations widened tremendously. At this point, socialogy and the entire planet also spins inside of my head. For many years I was angry at myself because I believed that I had no opinions of my own. I could always see each other person’s reality and why they believed their view to be right. I finally understood that in general, I am a “watcher and interpreter”. It does make my brain very busy at times— but I have found a niche in life. I can rehab dogs because I see who they are in graph form. And I have a very big and varied “toolbelt” which includes the tool of “variations on a theme”. I can rework a tool to fit the dog “on the fly”. Lately I have been thinking about “imprinting” and how it works with each species. One of the things I would like to do is connect with a group where I can toss ideas and theories against the board. Otherwise, what are thoughts for….?
