PMA

I hear talk these days about the belief that the human world is on the verge of a new scientific age. Much like the age of physics when scientific minds like Newton and Galileo uncovered foundational understandings about the physical world, apparently many believe that a similar day is dawning for the biolgoical sciences. Biochemical breakthroughs, DNA manipulation, and perhaps even an understanding the mind-body connection are supposedly within reach. Hey, I'm just a dog -- my biggest challenge most days is figuring out how to stretch my chain one more half inch to get to the bone that lies just out of my extended paw reach. I don't know the first thing about a double helix, but any husky can tell you the secret to the mind-body connection. PMA. Positive Mental Attitude. Show me a husky that's not happy and I'll show you a husky that is sick and/or soon to leave us. We are all about PMA, and humans could learn a lot about the presence of the half full glass in any situation from hanging out with a sled dog or two for a while. So research and test away ... search for the biochemistry of happiness and the ability to detect positive auras. But if you ask me the secret to the mind-body connection lies in the personal discipline and outlook to wag your tail and bang your harness into the teeth of any snowstorm. A friendly dog wager says that a wagging tail will prove to be the greatest thing since penicillin in the new scientific age.
