It was a hound to happen.

Have you ever stopped to think how things come round. It seems there are just some things that are almost bound to happen. 

Let me explain in a tale.

Once a highly successful businessman, running a health insurance company was getting ready to go to his office. When he reached into his car and opened a door, a stray dog sleeping under his car suddenly came out and began growling and barking. The businessman got very angry and  picked up a few rocks and threw them at the dog but missing with every one. The dog ran away.

On arriving at his office, the businessman calls a meeting of his managers and during the meeting he transfers the anger he was still feeling about the dog to them. 

The managers also get upset by the anger of their boss and they put their anger to the employees working under them. 

The chain of this reaction keeps going till the lower level of employees and finally, the anger reaches to the office cleaner.

Now, there was no one working under him! 

So, at the end of the day, he heads off to his home; He is greeted by his wife who asks him, “Why are you so late today?” The cleaner upset due to anger threw at him by the staff, gives an angry response to his wife!  And says, “I didn’t go to the office to play, I went to work, but all I get is hassle, so don’t irritate me with your stupid questions!”

So, now the wife is upset that she got the edge of his tongue for no reason. 

She puts her anger on his son who was watching tv, “This is all you do, you have no interest in studying! Turn off the TV now!”

The son gets upset! He walks out of the house and sees a dog passing by looking at him. He picks up a rock and hits the dog in his anger and frustration. 

The dog, getting hit by a rock, runs away barking in pain.

This was the same dog that barked and growled at the businessman early morning.

So what started as a normal day ended up because of one little incident to have a throughly miserable time. A time that need not have been as it was. 

A little anger and upset can go a long way. A little good and a happy smile can make good things come around.

This is life as we find it. Beware of the barking hound that lives within. 

Have a marvellous day. Rain pounding on y window I am sure it will not be raining on the golf course, can my elbow take it.  The hound within.
