Tibetan Meditation…

OM....OM....OM....OM
Sometimes, at least once per day, I like to go out into my fenced back yard and meditate. I sit still as a statue and look off into space. I listen to the birds and sniff the air. Sometimes though, I am so lost in thought I don’t listen at all. Like today when Mom came out looking for me and snuck right up on me. She said my name and I about jumped out of my skin!
She wonders if I meditate….
My favorite thing to do is sit very very very still, especially when my people have to be someplace and want me in the house so they can leave. They call, and I become a statue. At this time of year it is awesome, I blend right in with all the birch and cherry leaves on the ground. They can not see me unless they come out looking and even then if I am still enough their eyes might wander right past me. They call. I don’t respond. Then just as the frustration is building I hear my favorite word… COOKIE? I still don’t budge, just out of principle. They usually say again COOKIE? I do my best Garfield impersonation. Finally fed up they walk back to the house. Now the race is on and I usually beat them to the door. I sit there as cute as I can and silently ask COOKIE? Sometimes I get lucky and get one even though I did not respond as I should have. Sometimes I don’t and just get asked to go in my crate so they can leave. It’s always worth a shot.
Mom would like to hear from other families who might have a meditatin Tibetan Terrier. Do they all do this? Is it in their genes? Does your TT meditate? Watch closely, you just might catch them doing it.
Take time to hear the whispers from within…
