From One Place To A Better One — Parks & Rec Business (PRB)

Dec 5, 2023 | parksandrecbusiness.com | Rodney Auth

In “Ted Lasso,” my favorite show of all time, Ted (the main character) tells a story about his dog Hank. It goes like this:Well, when I was three years old, I got attacked by our neighbor’s dog. I- I don’t remember it happening, but my mother said it was pretty… pretty scary, you know. I do remember being afraid of dogs while growing up though. Like, if I was at a friend’s house for a sleepover or something, they’d have to keep their family dog outside, otherwise I’d bawl my eyes out.

As such, their survival depends on social systems and herd dynamics, as well as on their ability to read and interpret non-verbal communications and body language. Their ability to read situations and emotional energy correctly and convey information to the herd is critical to the herd’s survival.

From The Ground Up — Parks & Rec Business (PRB)

Nov 3, 2023 | parksandrecbusiness.com | Rodney Auth

It was late spring in 1979 and my dad was looking for a new project. Well, that’s a bit superfluous. He was looking for more room for our growing family in our split-level ranch in rural Wisconsin.
