Puppy Persistence

I so admire the persistence of the animals in my life. If there’s a need, they will let me know I need to meet it presently, and directly. I hope I can be as articulate and forceful with my boundaries and needs. Nina, my puppy, asks for what she needs, without the notion that our relationship will be negatively affected for having done so. How powerful. -Lecretia Williams (CLF)

How have you learned persistence from animals?
