We do not always fully grasp the deeper meaning around the observations we take in during a pet visit, a walk about the neighborhood or even the symbology that comes through in our dreams, yet these nuggets are often reintroduced at a later point providing us with a higher level of understanding that combined with what we learn via a pet parent, what we see with our eyes or what is occurring on the ground heightens the meaning of the messages.

Recently I had the opportunity to connect with a cat who previously I met while feeding some feral cats at a client's house. Whenever I would see her outside on the patio, she was very hesitant to be near me…

Recently I felt wishy washy when it came to going to a local place for a walk. A place I often go and yet this particular day I was not feeling it. I checked in with myself about going and knew I needed to do so to get some movement in before jumping on the computer to work on my business before heading on a trip. So often, I get caught up in wanting to get project x-y- and z completed and put myself or my health on the back burner…

What can seeing unlikely critters on a morning hike represent as a message to us as we walk our own paths? It all depends on our thoughts, actions, and experiences in our life, relationships, or business at the time we meet the creature or animal.

What I have experienced as a Pet Companion is often identified as a rare degree of relating with your animal family members. That level differs by the pet (or pets) that I am working with, our connection, and the way they view me…

Nine years ago today, July 20, life changed. My world stood still as many things occurred at once in short proximity to one another. Some monumental and others in very different ways, but all felt big in the scheme of things. In February of 2013, I moved. At the end of June,

The role of the pet companion takes on a variety of hats. There are those times when we are the soother or the mother who is aiding the pet who is feeling sad or displaced as his or her family has gone on vacation leaving him…

What does harmony mean in the life of a pet companion? As a business owner and pet companion it means finding the common ground between working in the business by doing the pet visits, working on the business via the blogs, marketing, social media, finance, and the vision for the company while finding quality time for family, friends, and self-care.

The changes that can occur in five short weeks can be overwhelming physically mentally or even emotionally depending on the challenge that you awaken too. We also have a choice as to what emphasis we place on the experience and the manner we permit it to affect us. Five weeks ago, I awoke to a text message at 5am from a current…

Once your animal family has been with me awhile whether it is one vacation or many, a friendship begins building.  Just like those of the two-legged variety. These friendships entail the favorite activities that your pet kid(s) like doing with me or our routines that get established over the visits. With one such canine friend…

Recently while visiting with a wise elder cat, she offered the guidance of the importance of focusing my attention on that which is the sweetness of life. And that by doing so it would ensure a new beginning.

Sometimes we give our mind full rein to guide us when really the key to welcoming the new into our physical world is to connect through our hearts to the way we want to feel living our dreams. Or what we hope to experience. What are the joys,

What does a summer walk look like with your pup friend in Arizona? Roll over, blink at the clock…notice the darkness outside is shifting away as the day begins to lighten – and the walk begins. Your canine companion will be ready to go between 6am and 9am to get in a walk before the temperatures reach 95 degrees in the morning…

What to do first? We can go into a state of overwhelm on any given day depending on what we feel needs to be done – and that emotion can rise even more when we are traveling hand in hand with the unknown at our side. The unknown, void or place of mystery…

You may be asking yourself what does a pet visit look or feel like - and what does my pet(s) experience? With Dream Pet Care, I spend five to ten minutes greeting them in the way they enjoy. With several pup friends, we begin with ten minutes of play…

As a pet companion I have experienced several times when pets have pushed past their own perceived characterizes to help teach a person what they need to hear in the moment. On day one of any new pet assignment, it is about listening to your animal companions with my ears, eyes, what I am feeling or sensing in my body and the thoughts that come quickly in as nine out of ten times it is from them. They too are beginning an inventory list of who I am through my energy, smell, and what they sense about me….

Whether the death is a companion animal or a person, many of our animal friends respond very similarly to us in dealing with the passing of a loved one as well as in other sometimes unexpected ways. I recently met a lifelong friend’s senior canine six weeks after the passing of my friend’s husband. Both my friend and the canine are working through the challenges…

The many versions of play according to a local canine friend came through on a recent outing. When we think of this activity in regard to them, it often comes associated with a ball in a backyard game…

During my last blog, I wrote about the more introverted or reserved cats. I would like to share an experience from my perspective with a family of feral kitties that I had the opportunity to meet…

The mysteriousness of cats for many people is the way they choose to not venture forth into contact with us when we walk in the door. They experience so much in the form of vibration. We as a species tend to walk in fast, purposeful ways with heavy steps….

There are those that saunter about until a special scent catches their attention – and then look out as you could get knocked off your feet! Some can spend fifteen minutes sniffing all the aromas of a neighborhood field like a delicious smorgasbord…
