How to Keep Your Pup Happy and Healthy Let’s be honest, dogs are the best. With those cute puppy eyes and adorable little paws, how could you not want one? In fact, scientific research has even shown that owning a dog, or frequent interaction with one, can actually reduce stress and help balance out emotions. So, really, why invest in a therapist when you could just hang out with a happy healthy dog? But, while owning a dog can have amazing health benefits, it’s important to remember they will require a certain level of support and care. To fully reap the benefits of dog ownership, it’s important to keep your pup healthy and happy. As […]

Do Animals Understand When You’re Talking to Them? “When you’re talking to animals, do they understand you?” This is a common question I get – and the answer is a bit complicated, so let’s unpack that for you today. Animal communication and growing your intuition, accuracy, and confidence isn’t easy. Although you’re born with intuition, learning to use it properly isn’t something you can learn how to do in a day. via GIPHY When we want to understand our animals better, solve problems together, and learn to speak their language with certainty, knowing how animals best understand your messages so you can deliver them in a way they can understand what you’re saying is important. And vice versa – so that when they talk back, you can understand what they’re saying, too. One of my gifts is that I can communicate clearly and effectively with animals so: 1) they understand […]

Is There A Difference Between Animal Communication With Alive Versus Deceased Pets? I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard that there isn’t a difference between communicating with live animals versus animals who have transitioned or crossed over who are now in Spirit. In my experience, that’s not true. There IS a difference, and it’s a distinctive, important one. Some folks think that you can’t communicate with animals who’ve crossed over. Also untrue. I even heard one person say that beings who die become demons. Why she thinks that, I still haven’t a clue. How can cute little big-hearted love of your life Fluffy, an angel, guide, healer, and teacher disguised as an animal and sent here as God’s gift to you, all of a sudden become evil just because they left their body when they passed away? Again, UNTRUE. Goodness, where do folks come up with this nonsense?! […]

The day TuffyTiger wanted to go outside. In my recent post about cat communication, you got to meet the darling tabby kitten TuffyTiger and learned the amazing story of how this tiny feral ball of feline fluff with gorgeous green eyes came to live with me. Here’s what happened next! After TuffyTiger took up residence with us, I kept her inside the first few days to make sure she felt comfortable and safe. I wanted her to bond deeply with her new family (me, my husband and our other cat Peach), and to accept and know where her new home was. Because she had been a feral kitten and had never lived inside a human house before, I expected her to want to go outside. So we agreed that she would let me know when she felt ready to explore the great outdoors. Fortunately, I lived in a neighborhood where […]

by guest author Holli B. Shan, Pet Loss Grief Counselor and Animal Communicator At some point in our lives as devoted pet owners, we will experience the loss of our beloved animal family members. After such a devastating loss, it is human nature to not only emotionally grieve that loss, but to mentally and physically mourn as well. Your grief process is not only normal, it is also part of being human and the healing journey. You are not alone. Grief as a Process Grief is a process as well as a feeling and an emotion. Grieving is something that we go through when a loved one has passed on. via GIPHY It doesn’t matter if the loved one was a human or an animal companion. My teacher, Teresa Wagner says “Grief is indifferent to the species lost”. I would also add to that we grieve so very deeply because […]
