Although my earlier post is the first thing I've written about learning something from an animal, it's not the first time I've had the experience, which I'm sure is not all that uncommon among humans generally inclined to learn.
I daresay I've learned from each of my pets, even something as simple as how to expand my patience, heh. (I'm looking at you, Olivia.) And from animals that were not my pets, too—horses I worked with, creatures I've seen at the zoo, the possum who adopted me and came begging at dinnertime on my back porch at a Chicago flat.
So: What is something you've learned from and/or by watching an animal?
