My three Grand Dogs

I love my sons three dogs. They have their own unique and totally different personalities. They love me because they associate me with food and walking. They go crazy when I come around to take them for a walk and we have had to train them not to jump all over us from over excitement. The reason they love walking is because that is what they are meant to do. A dog in nature loves to wander around, get his exercise, hunt, chase, and play.

We have a place on the river where we can let them off the leash. They love running free off the leash even more than walking. It’s just a joy to watch them charge up and down in the mud along the river, climb the 2.5 metre banks and charge off again. The reason its so good and so right is because that’s the way it is in nature.

Of course not everything that occurs in nature is great. What we aim for in health care is an optimised natural environment. Its good not to get eaten by a tiger, but it’s bad not to walk, solution…walk, but walk where there are no tigers.

A dog, or a human for that matter, can’t be healthy without natural food, the right exercise, the right rest, work and play balance. Get the balance right and health is the normal natural state. These are needs we have from nature and they can’t be ignored except at the expense of your health. You cant cheat nature.
