al where we can choose and choose again how we want to get there full steam. Death is a word though we never pursue, never reaching to or emotionally being attracted to.

No matter what the situation is that you find yourself immersed in, when there is a hurt involved of any degree a simple “I apologize” is an excellent starting point. A true apology cannot undo the harm that has been done but it can restore dignity to the victim. Without apologizing you have no right to forgiveness.ARTArticleAre Animals Afraid of the Afterlife and Death?Ever wondered what animals think about death? Or, if they know anything about the afterlife – if it exists? How it works?
I was undecided how I felt about this issue for many years, until I met an injured wild deer at Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation where I worked on staff. I was delighted when the deer began talking with me.
One deer became a dear friend (no pun intended) and I always looked forward to feeding time when I got to sit and chat with this very special being named Roland. I always took his favorite foods to eat and sat down with him while we communed together.ARTArticleAre Animals Carrying Your Illness and Stress?Animals know us better than almost any other being on the planet. They see what’s in our minds eye and they feel what we’re feeling. They can get closer to our hearts than anyone else because they get under our defense mechanisms!
In order to stay healthy personally and within our community, we must stay connected with the animals, treating them with respect and honor, listening and learning from them on many levels.ARTArticleAre There Dog and Other Animal Ghosts?I believe that dogs and other animals do have spirits that continue after they leave their body. I’ve felt them and heard them for myself with my own animals, and it is very clear that animal spirits do often come back after they leave their body in what many would term a ghost form. Dogs and other animals are like humans, in that they may have something left undone here or don’t want to leave their humans for reasons they deem important.ARTArticleAre You Missing the 8 Signs of Illness in Your Animals?Do you know the 8 common signs of illness for your animal friends?

On bad days, they bite. And it hurts! You’ve got a big old painful multicolored bruise, maybe it even bleeds a little.
Even worse, they can seriously injure you, or even cost you your life.
If your stallion bites you, it’s time to get horse savvy now. You’re missing some fundamental rules of equine horsemanship.ARTArticleBringing The Child In You To The Surface"The children desire freedom! And every particle of their being from their Source says, “You are free. You are so free, that every thought you offer, the entire Universe jumps to respond to it.” And so, to take that kind of knowledge and try to confine it in any way, defies the Laws of the Universe. You must allow your children to be free, because the entire Universe is set up to accommodate that. And anything you do to the contrary will only bring you regret. You cannot contain those that cannot be contained. It defies Law."— AbrahamARTArticleCan You Hear Your Animals?Animal Talk: Beaten Into Submission
(This is a continuation of the Article called, Magical Things!)
“Thank you so much for yet another enlightening experience. We are wondering how many times people's animals have tried to tell them something -- only to then be whipped into submission. I really feel like we are both becoming more attuned to our animals and learning to trust them when they tell us that something is not right. We have you to thank for that!” -- Miki & StevenARTArticleCancer and Our Animal Friends - Percy's StoryImagine for a moment that you are Percy, a beautiful, creamy long hair 10 pound 8 year old cat. Rescued from a construction site years ago, you have healed now, and you are enjoying your life and good health. You often happily accompany your caretakers, Rita and Bart, as they travel around the country to visit family and friends. You are a very special, unique being with a great deal of wisdom and compassion. You love your human friends very much and they wonder what they did before you came into their lives.ARTArticleChakra Change means Life ChangeChakras can be explained as places in our body where the universal life-force (kundalini) is particularly concentrated and leads to tangible experiences on the physical, emotional and spiritual levels. Everybody has life-force/kundalini energy to a certain extent – so in everyone the chakras are active to a degree and can be felt – either in a pleasurable way or in a distorted and painful way.ARTArticleChange How You Read “Impossible” To “I’m Possible!”Impossible is defined as something that is not possible; unable to be, exist, and happen; unable to be done, or performed.ARTArticleCommunication Behavior in Animals - Recognizing that Special ConnectionHumans have traditionally held themselves as being separate and more intelligent (read "important") than other Beings. They perceived animals to be different ("they don't talk or look like we do; therefore, they are obviously inferior to us").
Until recently, this has been easy to believe where animals are conce
ed. They cannot speak "the language" like we do (of course, they don't have the vocal apparatus humans do which makes this feat basically impossible!). And, after all, humans can often control, dominate and manipulate them.ARTArticleConsidering Dental Implants?Important Facts to Help Make Your Decision

When teeth are lost, the surrounding bone immediately begins to shrink [atrophy]. Implant treatment, for tooth replacement therapy, can be the optimal treatment plan. Here are some important facts to take into consideration.ARTArticleCreate a Healthier Spring With Feng ShuiAh, beautiful spring; sunshine, blossoms and flowering plants. How can this season be anything but positive energy?
But for so many of us, spring is allergy season, presenting a catch-22 situation of wanting to be outdoors more but suffering for it. From pollen, cut grass and ragweed, what can we possibly do to keep the allergies away? Besides offering a medical solution or the stand-by nasal spray, I would like to suggest a pro-active and natural way you can boost your overall health by working with your surroundings.ARTArticleCreating CALM… How Attention to Detail Improves Your Dog’s LifeCreating CALM…
Feng Shui expert Yvonne Phillips tells how attention to detail improves your dog’s lifeARTArticleDid You Know That Your Animals Reflect You?They often mirror and react to your own personal imbalances and issues.
“That’s just spooky!” A recent client told me when I pointed out that both she and her dog had a problem in the exact same vertebrae in their backs! I assured her that this happens all the time, and that it has to do with The Human Animal BodyMind Connection.
Did you know that animals mirror you in mind, body and spirit? They Reflect Us. Animals are spiritual teachers, and are at times barometers of our souls! So when we have a problem, they are talking to us. The question is: Are we listening!?ARTArticleDo Animal Communicators Work - Discover Why the Answer is an Emphatic Yes!You know that your animal tries to tell you things every day. However, what if you don’t know how to spot a bad habit that comes from a reaction to emotional trauma, or whether they are experiencing physical pain, illness or discomfort?

Have you ever wondered what your own life’s purpose was? Did you know that animals also have a life’s purpose?
I recently worked with a very frightened young dog who had forgotten her purpose. She had been badly abused the first four months of her life, living in fear and shut up in a small cage most of the time. She was not socialized at all, nor was she taught anything except to be afraid, always afraid.ARTArticleDo You Know Your Animal's True Name?You may not if you haven't asked them directly.

What to Do When Fido Takes the Lead When out for a WalkAs an animal communicator I get asked this same question often – what is really going on when my American Bulldog, Australian Shepherd or other dog is pulling ME along during a walk. Many times it isn’t as simple as the American Bulldog, Australian Shepherd or other dog pulling the human along, but the dog also bites on cloths, chews the leash, wraps the leash around the person or something else, barks at people or other dogs, and generally doesn’t listen to commands at all.ARTArticleDoes Size Matter?We’ve all seen it at work, the mall or maybe in our own mirror. Women wearing clothing that don’t fit. I’m not talking about not fitting their body type and being unflattering, I mean wearing clothes that are obviously too small. When shopping, do you not try on the item in a size larger if the smaller size you tried doesn’t fit? Do you swear yourself to be a size 10 and not buy clothing unless it happens to fall in that size? Or do you buy the smaller size with the intentions of losing weight so it fits better? If so, then STOP! No one wants to see your extra skin peeking out!ARTArticleDoes Your Dog Need Knee Surgery? What You Need to Know Before Making a DecisionDear Val,
My little Annie was diagnosed with luxating patella on her back right leg. They have suggested operating. I am not wanting to go that route as she is so hyper that I do not think I can keep her calm etc for 6 weeks. Am going to get her cartilage shots for a month and see if that helps. Wondering what is the best decision? -- Sheila
Dear Sheila,ARTArticleDogs Behaving BadlyWhen Dr Joey contacted me, he wanted my help with his dogs. He had been putting up with really bad behavior from them for a long time. He was grieving terribly for his Forever Dog Friend, Satin, who had passed away. And his other best dog friend, Shami, had also recently passed away after a terrible and mysterious illness.
