This is one of those funny animal stories. While down the shore in Brigantine, my cousins had come to our house for a visit. They brought along their pet Beagle named Goldie. One evening, everyone was gathered around the kitchen table playing Uno. Suddenly, I got up because I needed a sweatshirt so I ran into my brother’s room to grab it. When I got to the room, I found Goldie stretched out on top of my brother’s bed. She was also lying on top of a pair of his shorts. After much coaxing to get her off the bed, she eventually did.
Even though we were able to get her off the bed, Goldie didn’t give up. She went right back into the same room and jumped on the bed again. This time, we let her be. We didn’t see much of a point in getting her off just for her to jump back up again. I know we could have closed the bedroom door and she wouldn’t be able to go back in, but she was so happy just lying there. This was a special moment because we rarely see our cousins, and we were having an enjoyable week at the beach. Snowy, my dog was also thinking the same way as Goldie. She jumped up on the couch in the living room and laid the same way while Goldie was relaxing in the other room.
If you can learn anything from this, it’s that persistence can get you far if you keep trying. Goldie was persistent in getting what she wanted, and she did.
