Constant Companions

As an animal communicator I am often asked if I can contact pets who have transitioned. The answer is yes! More than likely you too have had experiences that you just can't explain but you just know you received a sign from a pet who has passed. 

There are signs of their presence every where if we recongnize them for what they really are and not just coincidences. I know before Alley Ann has passed she had smelled really bad from being so sick. She had her own special spot on the bed at night that she would curl up in to sleep. It was about three months after she had passed that I remember rolling over in the middle of the night and I got the biggest smell of her again. It was right in the spot where she used to lay. When I opened my eyes I half expected her to be there. Now I could have very well have dismissed the incident as a dream but I knew it wasn't.   

Don't try to look for signs as you may miss the ones they are trying to send. Some signs are subtle and others are pretty clear. They often come to us in our dreams as that is the one place where the veils between the physical and spiritual world are the thinest. Many times if we are missing the physical signs they are sending they will enter our dream state to let us know they are ok. They never go far from us even when they do pass over.

You can always ask that a sign be sent from them to you to let you know they are still around. The spirit does live on and we are all connected and continually loved by our loved ones on the other side. We are given presents everyday by spirit. It is in these gifts that we are able to re-member and feel our direct loving connection to them and to source.


 
The Rabies Fund
www.rabieschallengefund.org

With vaccines being in the news more and more, whether it is for our pets or for our children, it is important we understand them. In most states the rabies vaccine is the only one required by state law to be given to pets on a regular basis. Even though the vaccines lasts at least 3 years some areas still require yearly or two year boosters. The challenge fund has been set up to do a scientic study to help validate the need to possibly vaccinate every 5 to 7 years. In doing so we can help reduce the risks our pets are put at by receiving this shot. 

Here is a list of documented reactions to the rabies vaccine.

  • Behavior changes such as aggression   and separation anxiety
  • Obsessive behavior,self-mutilation, tail chewing       
  • Pica - eating wood, stones, earth, stool
  • Destructive behavior, shredding bedding
  • Seizures, epilepsy
  • Fibrosarcomas at injection site

    There are other reactions that I have not listed here but you get the idea. Please visit the website for more information on this important health matter for you animal companions. If you can make even a small donation it will all make a difference.  
    This project depends primarily upon grassroots gifts for funding the costs of conducting the requisite vaccine trials.

    The woman who has created "Slateography" gifts is Judah Illingworth. Each slate is created with photos you supply or she will be glad to create just what you are looking for. These can be created for any occassion or just for decoration in the home. They can also serve as a memorial for your pet.

    Her photos are just stunning and she really captures the feeling of the moment. There are also some fun slates in there! She has a slate she made that has the word  "Chocolate" spelled out in vegetables. I always knew chocolate was good for you! 

      It's the Heat Baby!

    Here are two of my girls, Addie and Maggie. They are both Aussie's with their summer hairdo's. With summer fast approaching it is important we look at keeping our pets safe and cool.

    About a month ago we had a couple warm days and on the news that night there was a story of a pet locked in a car that needed assistance. Thankfully a passerby alerted police who broke the window to get the dog out. I know we all lead busy lives and love having our pet go with us when they can but did you know that on an 80 F day, temperatures in a parked car can reach 120 F in as little as ten minutes! Normal body temperature for a dog is about 101 F to 102 F. If his temperature reaches 106 F, they are in danger of brain damage, vital organ failure and death.

    It is always worth repeating, nothing is worth stopping for if it puts your pet at risk. Be alert also for those pets who may be locked in a hot car on a hot day. Get involved! Those pets will love you for it!
