As I have gotten older my interest in Austrian psychologist Carl Jung and his associated theories have taken on more importance for me. The more I read him, or probably more accurately, others’ writings about him since his works are very challenging to absorb,

Other than the occasional goldfish and tropical fish, I never had any pets growing up. My first real introduction to having one is when we got my son Jacob a dog in June 2017. Since then Harry has brought so much joy and I am so grateful to have had the experience of having a pet,
