Lesson from an Apricot Miniature Poodle - Churchill McElwain-Brown

My dog Churchill McElwain-Brown, who died at Christmastime this year, was 17 years and one month. He had dealt with chronic health issues for the last two years of his life. He was blessed not only with a good regular vet, but with a great holistic vet (Dr. Evans of Minneapolis), as well as an amazing pet psychic (Bonnie Illias of Hinkly, MN). I have learned so many lessons from my experiences with Churchill that I feel compelled to blog them, in hopes that others may benefit as well, and learn from my mistakes.

The first think I would like to say is that I have learned from Churchill, who was engaged in the art of living in the present until he could no longer hold on, is to do just that -- to sink oneself into the present, to immerse onself completely in the moment. Whether we are feeling good or not, we can do that. We can breathe, see, hear, feel and experience those around us, as well as the joy of nature and the season, and the day's weather, whatever that may be.

We can simply be. We can be victorious by just doing that.

So this blog is dedicated to the wisdom (Tao) of Churchill, from his viewpoint.
