Every time I witness a four-legged in a child’s stroller complete with blanky, toys n’ such I wonder. “What the H***!:”

Imagine the outcome when BILLIONS of funds (yes, BILLONS) currently spent on animal accouterments were spent on classes, workshops, seminars, therapy (etc.) to learn how to live a healthy, happy, balanced life.

Based on 25 years of first-hand experience on the front lines of teaching said classes I know these facts:

1. pet guardians (students / participants) will more than happily lavish funds on their children (muli-leggeds, two-wingeds, finned, etc) BEFORE they squeeze out a dime on personal, professional / spritiual development.
2. those who seek power and control over life sate said needs as guardians of creatures 100% dependent on them for food, water, exercise (etc.)
3. when the day arrives I’m able to navigate all it takes to be a solid, healthy soul to the diversity of humans I encounter — daily — I MAY be qualified to then be a guardian of a creature or a plant!
