Conflict

THERE IS NO CONFLICT

(PicktheBrain) We all hate conflict, but sometimes it’s impossible to avoid. So, how do you deal with it? Here are seven helpful ways:

Stay calm — It’s not always easy to stay calm when you’re having a disagreement with someone, but if you can remain calm. . . the other person should calm down a lot faster.
Let them do the talking — Just chill out and let them spill out whatever it is they have to say. They’ll get tired of talking eventually. Sometimes all they’re looking for is someone to listen to them.
Consider what they’re saying — Even if what they’re saying is completely ridiculous, put yourself in their shoes. Never say, “You’re wrong”.
Let them know you hear them — Tell them that you understand what they’re saying to you. It’s possible that all they want is to be validated.
Don’t let them verbally abuse you — If the conversation comes to this… put an immediate STOP to it. Tell them they’re getting into a shady area… and you’ll talk to them when they calm down.
Take responsibility if you’re wrong — If you know you’re wrong… let them know that you made some mistakes… and you’ll do whatever it takes to fix it.

7. Visualize them in a good setting — This might seem a little weird, but if you deal with them on a daily basis… start visualizing them in a nicer setting… like playing at the park with their kids. It’ll be easier to handle them.

Remember Renny? Renny is the little Rat Terrier that survived the Old Ryan House Fire in down town Sonora in 2004. Renny is still doing good and is as ornery as ever. He loves to be on the go -

Pet Of The Week(7/6/10)

Congratulations to this week’s KKBN Pet Of The Week winner for 7/06/10.

This is “Einstein” he is a Chinese crested who we drove all the way to Reno to adopt from a rescue, this poor dog lived in a cage all his life and it has taken a long time to gain his trust and to teach him there is more to life then being locked up and being a breeder. He has the most funny howl/bark when its time to play and he loves attention, don’t get me wrong this little guy protects our home and lets us know when anyone is coming. Thank you wanda sonora

Marshall Tucker & Dreyfus

Hi Big Joe and Bridgette! Here’s a really cute picture of Marshall Tucker (L) and Dreyfus (R), our Golden Retrievers. It was taken on Tucker’s first day with us. He came to us from Nor Cal Golden Retriever Rescue, and as soon as he hit the back yard and saw that kiddie pool, he was in it and laying down! The expression on his face is pure doggy joy! Tucker is about 3 years old, and Dreyfus, who was also a rescue 10 years ago, is 13. He loves the pool (and tennis balls) too, God bless him! We hope you’ll pick our sweeties for Pet(s) of the Week! Thanks, Sue and Steve Salnick
