Pekingese, Prayer, Peace

Sometimes, one of my Pekingese simply will not tolerate another Pekingese even with repeated efforts to teach them to not fight with one another, and then I separate them. If I can not maintain them separately, I adopt them out to a home where they can reign supreme with one on one love and care from their new owner who can provide more intensive training.

Some Pekingese are more pugnacious than others.  Some may have aggressive temperaments, so much so that they seem to provoke arguments with others regardless of who they are kept with.  Some Pekingese are introverted and shy while others are adventurous players and very extroverted. 

The Pekingese owner can observe the trouble maker versus the innocents. Social harmony among a group of Pekingese presents a real challenge to the Pekingese owner having a group of Pekingese, a challenge owners of one or two Pekingese as pets does not have to experience and resolve.  With a group of Pekingese, one can also observe the alpha leader (and those he leads less aggressive individuals) and their social group behavior.  The alpha individual will emerge creating a social order which exists among the females kept as a group as well as in males kept together in their group.  One of the joys of having more than just one or two Pekingese is studying the social interplay of Pekingese kept as a group(s).  I keep my males separate from my females unless I want to breed selective individuals which I then pair off into their private space for mating.


People, individually and collectively, are not unlike Pekingese in many ways.  They are compatible or not, and if not then it is important to study and understand how they resolve their differences to peacefully coexist.  They sometimes are ordered to have professional counseling or seek it on their own. Some reconcile their differences satisfactorily.  However, some differences may not be resolved, and may be so extreme, only one way of life can prevail causing wars worldwide.


Wars exist in all forms of life both plant and animal so to pray for peace does seem an impossible and improbable request of God. It is not impossible or improbable that God could give us vision to steer through the conflict minimizing losses and human suffering. 

To prevent wars practice peace making in your life and in your community.  Try to evolve your social ability to improve your life and that of others.  Peace begins with you and your "Pekingese" in your life today.
