Responsibility of domestication

Trust is built on a path of respect
All life will give out what it gets
Unique to the individual time and again
As long as no one gets physically hurt
Then there\'s no wrong or right way
To earn loyalty lasting the end of days


It has always been there, this idea we want all life to be free!  Yet could that really ever be a possibility as everything in the universe follows some kind of pattern or rules, why should we be any different.

For those that have had children will understand that little battle we have with how much \"freedom\" do we give, as a responsible Adult I have my duty of care that should be taken very seriously but with a balance to let most experiences be through expression and the ability to make hard decisions.

Even if you don\'t have a dog or pet then how much freedom do you give yourself! Eat what you want, when you want or drink, smoke and take anything you want! Spend every penny you have or don\'t have borrowing more and more.  This list can go on and on!

It took me a while in life to set my own boundaries and limitations, yet once I dealt with a few major ones my life has never been the same.
It\'s never an easy thing to do and help is always needed in finding where we stand in our own way, then having the energy to change any habits is sometimes a lifetime journey.

Many interactions have sparked these thoughts but the two that standout the most is the subject of domestication and responsibility.

I first got triggered by a homemade sign on a local gate. At first I thought it was for a lost dog but no it was the picture with an aim to blame the person that left the gate open had killed their dog.  Now this is not a dog only park (we don\'t really have them in the uk) and do owners not carry any weight of responsibility!

I personally think it\'s disgusting to blame others for the lack of knowledge they had, to of either but more training in place or have it on a long lead to keep it safe.

I\'ve been told and I\'m sure I will be again and again to let the dog be a dog, all they want is freedom. Even those that say they have done their own research still think with the same attitude that I struggle to understand this

As soon as I  started to read and study it came very clear that our way of living really messy with a dogs natural way of life. Everything they want to instinctively run away from we say \"no don\'t\" and everything  the instinctively want to chase we say \"no don\'t\"
from nearly everything indoors we have to help them by conditioning their mind to deal with it!

This is definitely not an easy subject and I may write more to this but for now I\'ll just be grateful for doing my bit!

Much peace and respect
