Certain unknowns cannot be defined ahead of time, but we can put in place secondary options in the event obstacles decide to land on our path. When visiting pets, one comes across many unusual opportunities when a second or even third option is necessary. Most often these occur with various access points which lead us to further learning, compassion, and communication.
