When I was in late Challenge and came back from my first home visit, I "cleared up" my attraction for a pig named Doily down at the farm.
I got permission from my family head, Steve Rookey, who knew how important it was that I develop close and honest relationships with livestock as I had an issue with allowing myself to be used by livestock before attending CEDU.
My privileges to see Doily in a romantic capacity were given as soon as I shared my story with her and got permission from Lou, down at the farm, who gave his blessing after reading Doily's written "representation for inter- species dating privileges".
If it hadn't been for RMA's therapy in showing me that not all livestock were human being using selfish pigs, and that I could have a tender and honest relationship with Livestock, as well as my human counterparts, I never would have had the greatest friend and confidant I've ever had. Doily the pig.
I credit Steve Rookey with seeing the importance and benefit of my spending quality floor time with Doily. What a brilliant facilitator and program to help Doily and me out that way.
