Today I was back at PAWS for shelter doga. BIG THANKS to Cathy for joining. Cathy is a wonderful woman who fosters puppies for PAWS until they are old enough to be put up for adoption. She was a real trooper - never tried yoga before, and came despite a dislocated toe!
We worked with Stella and Tayler, two beautiful momma pit bulls. As you know, the APBT breed is very scary to many people. These girls did show some cage aggression - which is exactly the kind of behavior that prevents them from being adopted.
However, once they stepped outside their kennel, they both becamse sweet, loving ladies. It only took a few minutes for their crazy-energy to burn off, and they seemed to be grateful for the attention.
Too often we act upon our expectations, without seeing the truth - that we can't know what may happen, or how someone may behave. Open your heart and mind to try a new path, and don't be held back by your expectations. Joy and beauty are often found when we aren't looking for it.
