Hello my name is Chronically Bored. I like long walks and eating smooshed poop off of concrete. My dream job is chasing ducks and my greatest fear is brooms. #maxthemonster https://www.instagram.com/mywildgardendream/p/BxNl9JAFkbG/?igshid=1efjko1ntcplh

The first year I had Max, people were constantly telling me what a bad dog he was. He was energetic and loud and generally unruly. The thing is, I didn’t see him that way at all. He could walk by my side off the leash. We took him camping and hiking and once we even taught him how to catch fish in an overflowing ditch. Max wasn’t bad, people simply didn’t understand the needs he was communicating. Much of what he did was out of boredom or loneliness. It might sound silly but, dogs have taught me to understand humanity better than humans. They’re like the happy, easy, straightforward versions of us. Max made me realize that maybe everyone’s behavior can be linked to some underlying need. Maybe people do dumb and sometimes mean and confusing things out of boredom and loneliness and insecurity. It’s hard to see past the surface of someone but when we take a moment to understand the motivation of others, it’s possible to find compassion for them. It can help you understand that the person you love is chewing metaphorical couches because they are unsatisfied with how they spend their time. Max taught me to consider the “why” behind an action. Pretty wise for a bad dog, eh? #baddogs #maxthemonster #humanity #askingwhy #dogs #dogsareteachers #adventurepup https://www.instagram.com/mywildgardendream/p/Bv1wfC4FedW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ij0i5i6cup3m
