The Dharma of an Introverted Dog
Part 2
by Nancy R. Fenn

Page: 1 2 3

"My surviving son gave me Ygraine. Chocolate Labs, as they say, are really people. They're just the right size, and they are very one-person dogs. My son had her perfectly trained and actually offered me either of his Labs, Bailey or Milo. Bailey came first. When I would cry, Bailey would force her head into my lap, just push and push, and insinuate her way in. This didn't work for me. It was "too much." I then had to care about her, as much as I did about myself, because of her giving, and I couldn't tolerate that at the time.

"Milo came second. She was the second dog in my son's household, and acted like the second dog. She was shy and quiet and kind of puzzled about things. I really think she's an introvert like me. She was used to Bailey doing the interpreting of "people language." If you told her to "sit," she would look over at Bailey to see what that meant. They thought she was 'quirky,' and preferred her less. Sometimes human introverts get the same reaction, I think!

"I immediately renamed her "Ygraine," and let her stay with me. She was just "around", in an unobtrusive sort of way. She needed to be tended to a little, just enough - - her food and water, daily walks, and letting her in and out. She moved with me. If I was working, she slept in her bed on the side of the office. When I went to bed, she went to bed. If I forgot her feeding time, she leapt up on the back of my chair and 'told me.' If I was staying up late, or all night, she would go on and go to bed. She kept decent life-rhythms. She knew how to be a dog, though I had momentarily forgotten how to be a person. That's stabilizing.

"I'm an intellectual; I like to know what's going on. I'd read a beautiful book called 'A General Theory of Love,' that talked about how we mammals (dogs, cats and people) operate on an open-loop feedback system. We cannot regulate our life forces alone; we need each other. It's not good to live alone; in fact it's quite detrimental to your health. This can be hard for an introvert at any time, but especially at a time like this. You need a mammal around to look into their sentient eyes and see life, and orient to it. That's the scientific explanation.
