Anthropomorphizing Our Dogs, Meditation, Ice Breakers, Rap Beef | Constellation, Episode 71

It’s time for another episode of Constellation, welcome back to the discussion! This week, Colin gets things started by sharing an unbelievable tale of grand adventure featuring his dogs, Treble and Rush. Do we all create intricate and possibly fictional back stories for our pets like Colin and Micah do? Next, Dagan wants us to quiet our minds with some talk about meditation. What are the potential benefits of embracing the ancient practice of TM, and is it worth exploring what all the hype is about? As the party rages on, Micah breaks the ice with some conversation starters. Will these ideas for encouraging stimulating dialogue make us master minglers or awkward social outcasts? Finally, Dustin wants to rap about the ongoing beef between two of the world’s biggest hip-hop stars. As the the battle between Kendrick Lamar and Drake continues to escalate, the gang takes an opportunity to discuss the feud and all things hip-hop, past and present.

Hey Dagan, I recommend learning to meditate with the tutorial from the 1GiantMind app. During the podcast there is this idea of trying to achieve a clear mind when actually you get a calm mind from meditation. And a calm mind is not something you achieve, it is a product of just being. And it takes practice to learn to be. I'm a person with a racing medicated anxious mind and this app helped me; plus its free. Thanks for the episode!

Not sure if this is where it comes from, but I remember "Fuck it, two tears in a bucket" from the song Bring the Pain by Mindless Self Indulgence, which was a cover of Method Man's song. Is this possibly where it came from?

Advice for the dog health mentioned-if you can afford the extra money and time, adopt a raw diet for your dog/s as nature intended. Packaged shelf ready foods are insanely unhealthy for dogs, and likely what is leading to their problems for vet visits. My now 8 year old struggled with various tummy issues and one other specific issue from a “vet prescribed” food. Going raw for around 2 years now and problem free. There is much to look into and learn, but it’s rather simple. We get pure meat patties from RawK9 and add in the organs and bone content from our local farmers market hauls. Any further supplements we get from Mercola. It’s a popular misconception dogs can’t eat bones - wrong. Cooked bones are bad and dangerous! Uncooked raw is fine and you’ll notice it in their poops. Need joint health? Easy to get items are chicken necks and feet. Tendons and ligaments consumed support the dogs own. I avoid the “soggy” looking ones at big grocery’s stores and stick to farmers market hauls, or a health food market. I listened to something once mentioning pet supplements from the store aren’t regulated to actually have the correct amount of what’s advertised inside, as well as it being a less healthy synthetic version. I’ll end there, but please look into healthy diet options for the pups.

I wanted to also speak on the Treble beef with black dogs- she knows it’s not the same dog. It’s possible since the problem with the original that she now is reactive to black dogs, or dogs of that size, but dog know one another are different. One of my dogs is reactive to others and it’s a shame to at just happens to some dogs. I think it happened while my second dog was a scared, curious puppy and got put in his place a few times from older dogs at the time. Now he’ll get anger amped up and only react to dogs waking by us that pay attention to us. If the dog is well behaved and walks by paying forward attention, my guy will be more collected. If a dog is interested in us in any way, he’s out commit terrorism haha! It’s sad and hard to death with especially since my oldest (mentioned above) is the friendly type to meet any dog or human, and his gun is ruined on walks. Which reminds me- bringing the dog over to the fence isn’t a good idea. Something is different in their logic about this. Even my nice guy turns into a killer by a fence with a dog in the yard. That’s when I wish I could speak to them like you talked about hehe
