Maury

Okay. This morning didn't go so productive but it's okay. I've noticed it and moved to correct it. I have a few minor tasks to do and I feel good today.

Watched a bit of Dog Whisperer over lunch and this dog named Maury taught me the importance of calling. Here is the basics of the story:

Dog behaviorist and trainer Colleen Steckloff has had her share of canine challenges, having trained “a ton of dogs” from Much Love Animal Rescue. She has 3 dogs of her own and often fosters additional dogs for the shelter, sometimes as many as 6 at a time. But when Maury went under her ward, it was a different story. Maury has been in and out of Much Love’s and Colleen’s care due to many failed adoption attempts. Maury just can’t seem to stop biting and punching his potential owners. Colleen follows Cesar’s methodologies, but no amount of exercise or discipline seems to be getting through to Maury. He has now been with Colleen for two years. Both Colleen and the animal rescue are beginning to think Maury is just plain, unadoptable. Does Cesar have a solution for Colleen and Much Love’s Maury mystery?
Maury is a high-energy dog that couldn't be adopted because he was always excited and could not seem to reach the "calm-submissive" state needed for a pet. Maury was confident and energetic but by not being able to reach "calm-submission", Maury was looking at a life time in a cage, or to be put down. Eventually Cesar Milan sees his talent as a retriever and sets Maury up for an audition with All State K-9 detection. He passes with flying colours and finds his place sniffing out concealed handphones.
So... What does this teach me?

1. You need to be yourself to find your calling. Don't pretend to be a house pet when you're not.
2. You need some platform to shine.
3. You need someone to recognize the talent you have.
