The realities of this job.

Today I cried. Not from a reading… (yet!) I never know what each reading will bring. But I cried because again one of my friends gained wings.

There are SO many of these animals that I talk with regularly. They age, their guardians do follow ups to check in on health, sometimes behavioral stuff, happiness, needs, etc…

I build relationships with them even though I have never met them in person. I learn their personalities. I love them.

And though I know their transition does not mean they are gone, for some, I still have tears. Why? Because it’s still sad. Even though I know they are happy, vibrant, and full of energy, it’s sad. Their guardian’s hearts are broken. They are onto the next part of their journey, but it still leaves a hole.

I would not be human and I would not be truthful if I did not feel that way too. I KNOW they are still with us. But it doesn’t make the physical loss easier.

So never be hard on yourself for grieving your pets even though their spirit stays. It’s not the same. It’s better than nothing, yes. But it is not the same. I will always be truthful about admitting that.

But, they do not want us to be sad! Easier said than done, I know. So give them, but promise to laugh and giggle and smile about the good memories. The years of love that you shared. And know though the time was short in comparison to your life, it was everything to them in their life. Everything they lived for. Everything they hoped for. Everything they wanted. This is sweet Abby. And she looks absolutely beautiful in her new wings. ❤️

Let’s talk about our pet’s reactivity again. So many humans expect reactivity in animals just to vanish! If the reactivity seems like it is unreasonable, frankly it might be… but let me give you something to think about.

How many of you are overly reactive when it’s unnecessary? Most humans are. Some have a fear of spiders and over react, even scream when seeing one. Reality? How can that little tiny spider hurt you? It can’t. But that doesn’t minimize your reactivity or fear.

Heights? Unless you have fallen, is that fear necessary? Nope. Psychological? I’ve seen people cry out of fear. The difference with pets? They can’t cry so they will growl, hiss, bolt, explode, etc… It’s the only way they can express themselves.

What about those little things people do that really anger you? (We aren’t all guilty of this but some are!). You might scream, swear, slam something. But yet you are upset when your dog (example) “reacts” to another dog? Maybe that dog did something completely offensive, you just don’t know! Or maybe the dog is just not a fan of other dogs… again, maybe irrational, but to whoever it is human, or animal, it seems rational.

Reactivity is annoying, I know it is. I have a VERY reactive strong pitbull. It can be dangerous. It should be worked on in hopes of improving it. The point I am trying to make is be patient. Accept it to some degree. Don’t ignore it. Reactivity is a sign of your animal being uncomfortable, frightened, stressed in some way. Try to help them. But be patience. And accept some animals will ALWAYS be reactive to some degree. That does not make them less lovable or less worthy. It does not make them “bad” or “aggressive.” It makes them an individual that has triggers and fears, JUST LIKE HUMANS.

If you all sit down and think of things that cause YOU to be reactive, I am sure most of you can find at least one. And Im sure it is something many others (including your pet) would say is irrational. But to you, it isn’t. And that’s ok. The same applies to your animal.
