The Dog Star: Fabulous Fetching

The Dog Star: Fabulous Fetching

(The Dog Star is a symbol of power, will, and steadfastness of purpose, and exemplifies the One who has succeeded in bridging the lower and higher consciousness. – Astrological Definition)

Bentley tears across the yard and down the hill, looks up for the Frisbee, then times a leap so that he catches is about five feet off the ground, lands on all fours, and stops his momentum. He’s like the Great Gretzky, skating to where the puck will be, not where it is now. Try to get the Frisbee away from him before he’s ready to drop it, and he’ll put a dozen moves on you that resemble Gail Sayers flashing through a defense.

He learns each time, so that the accumulation of that knowledge creates expertise. He knows to watch for the trees, not to charge into the bushes, and to make his leap at the optimal time. He could, of course, wait for the Frisbee to come down, but he prefers to leap, to get an advantage in the air.

Are you putting moves on the gatekeepers and interference? Are you aggressively leaping for things or passively waiting for them to land in your lap? Are you charging down the hill to gain speed, or safely trotting along?

Is Bentley making more catches than you are?
