I wear all words close to my chest, never to underestimate the magic they possess
No education put the ink into my heart, no job suffocated my dreams to be more.
From the gopher on a building site to the under dog, collecting rubbish in dawns morning light!
To stacking shelves through the night, doing any actions that don't just bring money but satisfying my souls plight!
A struggle has now ended to see my past transactions as a mistake, each moment kept my spirit in strength for the next!
Many planted their seeds of dark & light, to show me I am a wise fool that's got much experience to life!
To blow my own trumpet as ego takes flight, this is just pure poetry of another kind!
For still within this tortured mind many laugh as many cry, unable to see what others do! I keep up the blag until it becomes true, the proof is in the pudding mine must be good!
Unless we are all insane and around for tea, I take no sugar and Mad Hatter takes three!

- Comment from author about the poem: Dan and Ana, I can’t thank you enough for your care, your authenticity & your Saturday night!! I messaged Dan in a terrible state of distress one Saturday evening, after he was recommended to me by a local dog walker. I read his website and every word mirrored exactly how I was feeling. I wasn’t bonding with my puppy in the way I’d hoped. He wasn’t responding to me, so to compensate for it I was over loving him, which was making his behaviour worse. My energy was drained, I was running on empty, I was getting angry, frustrated and it was ruining our relationship. A book or a training class once a week wasn’t thing I needed. I needed support, a hand at the small of my back to guide me through... I live alone and it’s hard raising a puppy by yourself! Dan called me on the Saturday night as soon as he read my message, and he was at my house on the Sunday morning at 10am. He has completely readdressed my relationship with my puppy, and has helped me to love him in ways that bring the best out in both of us. It has been very healing to speak to Dan, as the relationship between dog and human is complex and often triggering. I paid for the initial 3 sessions as a package, but now I would like my puppy to remain under Dan & Ana’s supervision, as his extended family. I feel I finally have support from people who care about me, and who want the best environment & upbringing for this beautiful, funny little creature. Thank you so much Dan & Anna and your family, for giving us your time, guidance, love, attention & support. I feel safe in your hands. Love from Soraya & Bubba

I reckon in a previous life somewhere you were the alpha male of the wolf pack Dan. You must have done something wrong though cos you've come back as a human, a lower life form. But hey, we're all making the best of this human thing although i'm sure the animals laugh at us really.
There was a dog tethered outside the post office and as i walked in wearing a mask you could tell that this dog was thinking "I wonder who that bloke has bitten to have to wear that muzzle"
Praise where praise is due Dan... you know about dogs for sure. And you make wicked vids.
Bless you my friend I still is it all as just common sense, the hardest part is to get onto the human wave length!!
Just like some in the beliefs with religion, they just can't see it any other way!! Sad and scary most of the time...
On this occasion we was on the same page and I'll be honest it's normally when they are open enough to discuss their trauma or projects of self!!
One customer helped me see, the over love most have for dogs is because they don't get it from another person!!
Thanks again for your awesome support!
Wonderful words Dan which come straight from your heart which has become so much stronger and more positive with the new life that you are finding.
Wonderful tribute to you in the letter that you published from Soraya and Bubba, you certainly have found your place in life.
