I have taken in and taken care of more than 20 dogs/cats in the last 8 years. Not only that but I give them real food like meat and eggs and they are free to be real authentic animals not trained pets.
Here is a cute video:

The kiddos do what many would consider “work” or chores by feeding the dogs at 7/5/2 years of age.
Yet they are doing it because they want to and are even having fun doing it. They love to help and nurture life around them and be involved in the life we live.
It’s because I allow them freedom to be instead of telling them what they have to and cannot do.
I dont have to offer bribes or threat consequences. This is actually play it’s just productive play.
Not only is it productive play but they are also learning real valuable life skills!
Yet it keeps getting better, they are also getting stronger and healthier. Working their bodies, getting fresh air and grounded bare foot to earth connection!
The implications truly are profound.
