GAMENESS OR EGO ?

[Black Hand]

Ego will always play a part in the game, it's human nature but it's when that ego takes front and center as it appears it did in the above examples. Again, no one knows their dog better then who owns and cares for him and sometimes the gamble, the risk pays off as it did for El' Titere in his last against Smokey......but to plays Devils advocate what if El Titere had lost his 8th and his life, then would it have been a case of ego before dog rather then the then owners of El' Titere showing to have the gameness necessary to let him go ?

Everyone's priorities are not the same. We can't allude to the loss of the animal or a loss on the record as being a devastating blow to owner just because it might be to you or myself. Everyone is operating within a different frame.of mind and coming from a different angle than you. What is tragic to me, might just be another part of the game to you. I don't think that has much to do with gameness or ego.

I wish more people would understand this and learn how to just focus on what they are doing.
