Chasing the Quail
“You’re wasting your time chasing the quails,” Maddie, my packmate, told me.
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.
We were standing outside and the quails were no where to be found. “If I don’t chase them, how do I get them to answer my question?”
Maddie sniffed the ground. “If you chase them, all they’ll do is run away.”
I put my ears down. I didn’t feel like Maddie was listening to me. “If I don’t chase them, how can I ask my question?”
Maddie wrinkled her nose and started to trot away. “Why don’t you get the quails to come to you?”
Wuff,
