Vida, Zen Master demonstrating "The all good things come to the dog who waits" yoga pose
This ancient and closely guarded secret is simple to learn but takes practice to master .
First, find a spot in the room where your human can see you in their line of sight. Not too close, though. You just want them to become gradually aware of your presence. Lie down, place head on one paw and direct your steady, unwavering, non-blinking gaze upon your human. Do not fall asleep or get too comfortable. The words "long-suffering" are key here. Don't be discouraged if they just quickly glance your way and return their attention to that big bright square they spent hours sitting in front of while moving their fingers back and forth over a small board.
Keep your position. You have the power! Soon, as though drawn by an irresistable force, your human will rise from their chair and walk toward you. Don't move! Wait until they crouch in front of you and look deeply into your all-knowing, wise and patient eyes.
You did it! They are now putty in your paws! Your newly aware human is ready to fulfil your heart's desire now. Do you want to go for a walk? A treat? Play tug? It's your choice - go for it!
As always, Namaste,
Vida, the Zen Master Dog of Patience
