Healing for Annie & Me

One month after my Yellow Lab, Maggie died I wanted to get another dog. I went to a local vet in North Carolina who had some for adoption. When I walked in the door, a small dog that was behind the reception desk spotted me and tried very hard to come see me. We had an immediate bond ~ it was love at first sight.

I was told that the dog was full grown and had the traits of being very calm and would be a "lap dog". After filling out the paperwork, I waited a week. The call came in that I could adopt her. I was so happy to have a dog in my life again.

She had an unusual name, but I decided to call her Annie. Life with Annie was challenging at first. She was somewhat out of control, did not know how to be with humans (she bit hands frequently), did not know basic commands and was not housebroken.

Two days after arriving at her new home, Annie developed Kennel Cough. I spent several nights holding her in a recliner so she cough breathe easier. A round of antibiotics cleared it. One week later, I noticed a bump on Annie's hind leg. A visit from a mobile vet confirmed an abscess. Another antibiotic had to be taken.

My thoughts are that Annie's immune system was compromised. She came from a rescue shelter, was given all immunizations and was spayed. That is a lot all at the same time!

Annie had been physically abused. With gentleness, she learned to trust people. The biting stopped. She learned basic commands quickly. And the so called "lap dog" became highly energetic and very social. Annie loved people and other dogs.

Being an animal communicator, I was able to pick up on a message from Annie. It was loud, clear and repetitive. "I want my family. I want my family!"  With that in mind, I was open to letting Annie go. My decision to relocate to be near family in Ohio assisted with Annie being able to find her family. My neighbor took Annie in for one week until "the family" was found. That was over four years ago.

I think of Annie from time to time. She helped to lessen the sadness I felt from the loss of my dog. I helped her to learn to trust, how to be loving with humans and assisted in her physical healing. Although we were only together for 3 months, it truly was healing for Annie & me.

Born To Be An Animal Communicator

Original Post ~ March 5, 2011

Many of my clients have asked me how I became an animal communicator. Did I take classes? How am I able to do it? The answer to that is simple. I was born with the ability to know what animals need and what they would like people to know.

As a toddler, my best friend was my great-grandfather’s Collie, Long John. There are pictures of me standing beside him, my hand touching the top of his head. As I got older, I spent a majority of my time outdoors with my dad’s Beagles. I felt such a connection to those dogs. They knew my thoughts and feelings and I knew theirs. Animals are so in tune with human emotions.

Growing up, my intuition was very keen. I did not like knowing things about people, animals or future events. That frightened me and I did not want to be considered strange. I decided to tune out all intuitive thoughts.

Years passed and my journey brought me back to my roots. After establishing my massage therapy business, The Healing Journey, I started to receive requests from clients to help their pets. Reluctant at first, I accepted. Word spread of how I was able to help animals who had behavioral problems. After several years of giving free advice, I included animal communication as a part of my business.

What once was considered a curse by me is now the greatest blessing. Relaying to pet owners what their 4 legged friends need and would like them to know is such an honor. Through my work, people have a better understanding of their pet. That leads to a closer relationship. You see - I was born to be an animal communicator.

Farewell My Friend

Many Inside919 members already know about the passing of my beloved dog, Maggie. I thank those who sent a message of condolence and support.

Maggie was popular on Inside919. I received many comments about her wonderful smile and how beautiful she was.

Because of Maggie, I am in North Carolina. Circumstances required that we relocate. We were blessed to be together for 11 months in this magical state.

Her physical health deteriorated rapidly. Thanks to a veterinarian who has a mobile vet service, Maggie was able to die on her bed at home with her head resting on her favorite toy. She left peacefully while I sat beside her speaking softly & holding her.

It is my nature to question my decisions. I hope that it was the right one. It allowed Maggie to die with dignity in a familiar, safe environment.

So now I say farewell, my friend. You were beside me in good times and in bad. You taught me about patience, friendship and unconditional love.

Rest in peace, my precious girl...

For 13 months Maggie & I were separated. Those were the saddest & hardest days of my life. Now that we are together again, life is good.

All of us can learn from dogs. They teach unconditional love. No matter how they are treated, they continue to radiate love. Dogs know about passion for life. Even though they may eat the same food every day, play the same game of fetch and live with the same people all of their life, their enthusiasm remains strong. When tired, a dog will rest.

Maggie truly is my best friend. If you have an animal companion, remember to show how much you love them daily. They are a blessing.
