The special relationship we have with our pets goes way beyond what most of us believe. They offer us so much and in so many ways. They give us unconditional love and the ability to love them back in the same way. They provide healing energy that benefits our health and they mirror us so…

Worrying About Anxiety In Your Pet?
There is not a week that passes without someone contacting me about their dog having anxiety issues. Just like human health care, anxiety issues are escalating and the pharmaceutical industry is booming in pet health care. Anxiety is not something new, but with more and more people focused on anxiety problems, there is an awareness…
Question Authority
Many years ago, during the last couple of months in veterinary school, the veterinary clinicians took it upon themselves to give us little practical quizzes. I guess they thought it would be a good way to prepare us for the life of a real veterinarian. They would come up to a senior vet student and…
The Shape of Water
A lot of people, and a whole lot of clinicians, have a hard time believing that everything is energy. When you stump your toe on a rock, it doesn’t feel like energy. When you look at or feel the physical body, it is hard to imagine that it is energy. It’s pretty easy to understand…
Why Pets Don’t Talk
I am sure that there have been many times as a pet caretaker, you wished that you could talk to your pet. There might be times that you wish you could turn to your most trusted friend for advice or just carry on a safe conversation, knowing that you would not be judged. Many of…

They come on without warning and cause uncontrollable thrashing of the body as we sit by helplessly, unable to do anything about it. The first and foremost thing…
5 Ways To Give Your Vet A Hand With Your Pet’s Health Care
On the average, most vet clinics schedule appointments about every 20 minutes. In a busy practice, it is not unusual for a vet to see about 30 patients a day. Throw in time for surgeries, dental work, emergencies, in-hospital patients and so on, and you can see how chaotic a day can be for the…
How To Make A Rose
For as long as I can remember, I have always liked flowers. Being a southern-raised child, we usually had a veggie garden somewhere, and the moms and grandmas spent lots of time talking about how to grow the best tomatoes. But, my interest, other than eating those delightful, healthy veggies, was to see the colors…
