The Dharma of an Introverted Dog
Part 3
by Nancy R. Fenn

Page: 1 2 3

"The personal explanation is that it was comforting to have a quiet, undemanding sentient presence in the house when I could not tolerate having a person around. I knew I could meet the rudimentary needs of an animal, though not the more complex needs of a person, while I licked my own wounds. Dogs don't care about words. She didn't ask me to comment upon my condition or to tell her how I was doing, or what it's like to lose a son, or even what I planned to do that day. We were together and in the moment. Neither of us had plans for the future.

"Ygraine is a huntress who is often attacked by her prey. One night she was crying in pain, suddenly, and I saw her groin was swollen and she couldn't move. Some creature had bitten her. She weighs 65 lbs. and I couldn't lift her. I pushed her over blankets and tried to pull her across the floor, but that didn't work. It was 3 a.m. and she needed to get to the vet.

"Finally, in desperation, I looked into her eyes and told her, wordlessly, "Ygraine I want to help you and I cannot do this. You must get to the car so I can take care of you." Silently she got up and got herself outside and up into the car. Even though it was excruciatingly painful, she didn't even whimper. When we got to the vet's she wouldn't move, and when the man came out to lift her out of the car, she cried.

"She became "my" dog almost immediately and stuck by my side if we went for a walk, or if a repairman came in.

"Best of all, when I went to visit my son and brought her along, he told me how she had thrived and blossomed under my care, how she had come into her own and was a different dog.

"Your job, as a parent, is to keep your child alive. If nothing else, you should be able to keep your child alive. When they die, you have failed. This feeling is primordial and has nothing to do with intellect or explanation. Ygraine restored my faith in my ability to nurture life. She was faithful to dog dharma, as one of my clients told me, living her purpose of being a loving companion. And a more extroverted dog would have been just impossible. I loved Ygraine most of all because she was an introvert like me.

I can't seem to bring myself to say, "Well, I guess I'll be toddling along." It isn't that I can't toddle. It's that I can't guess I'll toddle.
