Episode 4. Kate's Story: Muffy's Legacy


Listen Later

Each of my dogs - past and present - have taught me lessons for which I'm very grateful. To celebrate Thanksgiving, I share some of these lessons.

Today's interview is with Kate, a volunteer with the Seattle Animal Shelter. Kate & I talk about: 

  • Her confusing (and hilarious!) first childhood encounter with a dog;
  • How Kate’s family dog, Muffy, helped her navigate a complicated home life;
  • How Kate’s volunteer work helps her honor the memories of and feel connected to her father and Muffy; and
  • How sometimes loving dogs means knowing that your life is not conducive to having your own dog.
  • Are dogs so special because of how they "hold space" for us? Here's a few links about this concept:

    • From Tiny Buddha;
  • From The Angry Therapist;
  • From The Chopra Center; and
  • 11 Ways to Help You Hold Space for Someone.
