Recently, I had decided to start asking around for a business coach. I realized I needed a business coach after losing my steam about creating a business. I had wanted to get the word out about obedience classes being for humans, not dogs. I thought dogs would be beating down the door to drag their humans to obedience classes.

The quail pecked at a bug. “I’ve heard that the bat who lives in your yard also does business coaching.”

I thought about that. “Really? The bat who comes out at night?”

The quail fluffed its wings. “Well of course at night. When else is a bat coming out?”

The quail eyed me. “Why? What’s wrong with the one I gave you?”

“Too far away,” I said, dropping my ears back. “I can’t go looking for a mountain lion in the mountains. That’s too far away for me to go.”

The quail pecked a bug. “I can’t believe this.”

Ralph is my outdoor friend but I don’t know what animal he is because I never see anything but his eyes.

I explained the story about the business coach and how I didn’t think I could get out of the yard to meet the coach mountain lion.

Ralph blinked at me. “Maybe you need to find a new business coach?”

“But I just found this one! And this was hard enough to find with the quails being so uncooperative.”

“That business coach, however, is inaccessible is to you. So you need to find one that you CAN work with.”

“Ask the quails?”

Maddie nosed the ball around. “Well, they knew about the mountain lion, maybe they’ll know of someone closer.”

I put my head down. “But it took me so long to get to them in the first place, now you’re telling me to go track them down again?”

Maddie shrugged. “You’re the one who wants a business coach.”

I was still staring out the window wondering how I was going to get to the mountain lion coach without leaving the yard. “What do you mean?”

Maddie shrugged and pushed a ball with her nose. “Well, maybe there’s someone closer you can work with. Someone you can reach from the yard.”

“Someone closer,” I mused.

Maddie rolled the ball around. “Or…”

The squirrel told me the quails could help me find a business coach, but so far the quails weren’t letting me approach them, much less talk to them.

The quail ruffled its feathers. “No, not any cave. A specific cave. You think mountain lions don’t have a home because they don’t live in a house like you?”

I thought about that. “I don’t know, I thought they lived in trees.”

The quail pecked at a bug. “Dogs.”

The quail ruffled its feathers. “Well, you see, I do know of a business coach, but…”

I perked my ears. “But?”

The quail pecked at a bug on the ground. “She would be as likely to eat you as coach you.”

“Can you help me?” I asked, a little unnerved at how agitated the quail was getting.

The quail ruffled his feathers. “I don’t know. I don’t know. You may not like the answer.”

I was so surprised the quail actually asked what my question was I jerked my head. But, I did it so fast I caused another flurry with the quails.

“Wait,” I said. “I’m not eating you. I’m just happy you asked.”

The quails eyed me nervously, hopping around and adjusting their feathers. “So what is it? What’s your question?”

“I was told you can help me find a business coach. Can you?”
