Reply to "Maturity and Deciding"

I have heard this story several times, but have not validated the truthfulness.  None the less it makes a point.

With litters that they bread to become therapy dogs there are generally two types of mothers.  The first type help their puppies quite a bit.  They feed them when ever the puppies show signs of hunger, they are right there with their puppies as they learn to swim, etc.  The second type of mother shows very little interest in the litter.  They feed the litter when they are ready, not when the litter is ready.  When the litter learns to swim, the mother shows little interest.  Which mother type produces better therapy dogs?  I’m told the second type.  The puppies learn to handle situation without their mothers there to save them.  True or not true, it gets the point across.

From our mid teens to mid twenties we make some of the most influential decisions of our lives.  We all have to do it, and live with the consequences.
