Hi, I'm here in Los Angeles at a home taking care of 3 dogs and 1 of the dogs won best
in show, I think 4 or 5 times--she's 19. She's, you know, she's very frail and sort of disoriented
and you know, you can tell she's really old. She doesn't hear the best, she doesn't see
the best. We're out walking and all of a sudden, Winkie, the show dog, the champion broke into
a trot. And I tell you, I did not want to slow her down and so I'm dragging the younger two who want to stop and pee and smell
and all that. I'm dragging them because I want Winkie, Winkie is reliving a moment--a
moment in her days when she thrived and she was on top of it. And you should have seen--ugh--the
thrill--you could just feel it and for a moment she even broke into a little gallop, it was
amazing> Winkie was a champion on winning day. She was, her gait was so smooth, it didn't
even look like she was touching the ground, she looked like she was flying right there
in front of me. Yeah, Winkie, she was rocking. Hey, I guess the message of that is, you know
your memories can feed you and make you soar, you can choose when to remember. Now, Winkies
body chose to remember and it was throughout her whole being. So, let your good memoriees
serve you--use them, relive them, refeel them--they feel good. Do not relive bad memories, only
the good ones.
