“So teach him to close the door”, mydaughter Emma responded after listening to me 36  , again,about the dog coming in from the back door, bringing with him a blast ofBuffalo January   37  air．

Teach a dog to close a door behind him?That has got to be a really, really   38   thingto do．But then shetook it a step   39  ．“Come on, Kolby”, she said, grabbing some treats（犒劳物） and   40  himin front of the open door．“Touch．”And “touch” he did, which moved the door to a   41  position．She  42  himwith a treat, smiled, looked at me, and said “see!” And I saw and became   43  ．Over the last few days I havebeen with Kolby．Eachtime he comes in I bring him back to the  44  door andask him to close．Therehave been   45  in the beginning, but lately more andmore successes．

However, there remains much work to be done．I have to get him to follow myhand signal again and again  46  he will close the doorfrom a distance．But,I now realize, as long as you keep to the focus , the   47   willbe completed, and, with the way things are   48  ,completed quickly．

What a  49  treat tohave a dog that can close the door after himself! Even more wonder can be foundin the  50  I learned so clearly from both Emma and Kolby．

A wish is just a wish until you decide totake  51 ．Once you   52  the belief that it is “toohard”, then it remains “too hard ” and out of  53 ．Once you want to accomplish agoal, and  54  that it is “easy”, then it becomes “easy”to do what needs to be done．Just  55   doing it．
