Pets & Grief: How Do You Say Goodbye

1/9/2016

Pets and Grief. So how do you say goodbye to your furry love? How do you wake up each morning and not see their precious face, feel their precious fur and hug their precious body again and again? I'm not going to lie to you. You go through life for awhile wandering aimlessly thinking it’s a bad dream, it's not real. You wake up crying, you go to bed crying, you cry until you think you can't cry anymore and then you cry some more. The house feels so empty with their physical presence gone. You feel empty and alone. You want to hug everyone you meet because you have no furry love to hug anymore. You look at all the places they used to lay and they're not there anymore and it makes you sad, really, really sad.

I've loved and lost many animals in life but this time my love was deeper than I had ever experienced before. Furry loves are all special and loved beyond measure there is no question about that. But this time my love ran deeper than even I realized probably because we battled so many ups and downs together and spent so much time in each other's love.

Pets & Grief: The Love Of A Boy And His Dog Never Ends

3/8/2016

Once up a time there was a Golden Retriever named Whiskey. While she wasn't born in a home made out of gold, her heart certainly was made out of it. Not long after she was born, she made the long journey to Mira with a man named Mark that thought a 10 year old boy needed a dog to grow up with. And Mark was right.

Therapy Dog On A Mission

Therapy Dog Certification. Have you seen a dog in places dogs are usually not permitted? Chances are the dog could be a therapy dog. Many places you will see a therapy dog is at a nursing home, library, hospital, or rehabilitation center. While they are allowed into the facility, they do not have the right to enter without permission.

After just having finished a research project on therapy dogs this month, I was surprised how many people didn't know what a therapy dog is, what they do, how they are certified, how they are different than service dogs to name a few of the questions and comments. While I believe all dogs are special, therapy dogs are pawsitively special.

Christmas Miracles

26/12/2015

Hello Lord,
I know you know my name is Whiskey
And that I now over 13 years of age
I am feeling blessed and grateful
To have my human care for me with love
Especially now that I have breast cancer
My human heard that cancer is over 85% emotional
So she gives me lots of hugs and snuggles all day
And sings to me each day
"You are beautiful" and "I will always love you"
She makes up some words sometimes
To reach the depth of my soul
We are wishing on a Christmas miracle
Not just for me but for one and all
Because we believe in the power of Christ

Blessed Lord God of all creation
God of all power and might
God of all healing energy and goodness
Come and spread your
Healing blessings over everyone
Reading this day and night.

Love,
Whiskey
Your faithful fur child

When Canine Cancer Strikes

And there it was one day right out of the blue. It's hard, it's round, it's on my furry child. It's.....it's.....it's.....a lump!!! Alert, Alert!!! Oh my goodness, as I sit next to her and stare at it. No, it couldn't be. I feel it again to double check and triple check. I do a dog once over again and again, all over. Yes, it's still there. It wasn't there yesterday. We check you everyday in our morning ritual to get you ready for your day.

Dogs: Pure Furry Love

Dogs teach us many things, the most notable is unconditional love. You know how you feel about your dog but do you know how your dog feels about you?

Pets & Grief: Animal Wings

7/2/2015

Pets and Grief. As animals are more spiritually evolved than humans, they get their wings before us too. Humans come to earth to learn, while animals come to earth to teach us what we need to know to elevate ourselves to our next spiritual level. Animals communicate with their mind, body and soul. They feel and sense energy all around them and can see particles the human eye can not detect. Have you ever watched your animal watch something in the air that you can not see but you know they can? A what, a who, a where, we sit and wonder. Even in death, animals are still teaching us.

Today my dream was different. It happened in the day. It was full of information that carried on all day. I wrote and wrote as the words spilled out from deep within my soul.

I was sitting with my fur baby, just another day, when all of a sudden I remembered another that had gone not long ago. He came to let me know he was full of wit and vigor and how his journey unraveled for all of us to know. Here his story unfolds.

doG is God spelled backwards

And to this day a doG loves you all the days of their life, their energy connects with you, heals you and their spirit remains with you always. And this is true for other animals too.

When God was getting ready one morning to greet his children home, He pinned on a name tag because it was so long since some of them saw Him, although it was but a mere moment in time. He wished he could send a reminder to all His children on earth to remind them to love one another.

As he glanced in the mirror, he caught a glimpse of his name tag reflection that appeared backwards, "doG", and all of a sudden it came to Him, I need to send doGs to earth to teach people to love one another.

And to this day a doG loves you all the days of their life, their energy connects with you, heals you and their spirit remains with you always. And this is true for other animals too.
