❄️🐾💗 Happy Holidays! 💗🐾❄️

My crew and I are busy enjoying some time off this holiday season to rest, recuperate, and come back ready to roll in the new year. If you haven't already, make sure schedule your appointment or check in now - I know I'm booking into February already, but I won't be opening any other avaliable times for the remainder of December or January, so don't wait to schedule because you're hoping an appointment pops up.

I am thankful for each and every one of you as we close out this year ❤️ if you've enjoyed any of your conversations with me, please leave a review, share my page, and/or spread the word. My goal for 2025 is still to talk to all the animals, and I can't wait to accomplish that goal with you! 🥰

Teddy was recently rescued from a puppy mill. He came to his new home petrified, unable to settle in. His family asked if I could help tell him he was safe, and ask what he needed from them. Teddy didn't even know what to ask for, as he'd lived his life in a crate and had never felt safe. He did finally send me a picture of a tattered and dirty donut bed, and asked if it would be possible for him to have a "nice one" in his new home. As soon as his family put the bed down for him, he climbed in and settled for the first time since coming into their lives.

Teddy has a long way to go yet, but these beautiful moments when a scared dog realizes for the first time that he's been heard, listened to, and is now safe and loved are my favorite. I can't wait to follow Teddy on his journey from puppy mill dog to loved and cherished family member 💗

Bubba is such a sweet, sensitive guy who feels lots of things, and he was having a lot of trouble getting comfortable with his mom's sister, who lives with them. He and I had a chat about how his "Aunt" also feels a lot, and she would never hurt him - he just needed to give her a chance. I recently received this update from Bubba's mom:

"Soon after our chat, for the first time EVER, Bubba chose my sister to sit with. He laid on her lap like a baby, and, I kid you not, he's been choosing her over and over again since. My sister and I both thank you - this has been life changing for all of our relationships!"

The proof is in the results. Schedule your appointment on my website today!

When I chatted with Roger several months ago, he was an anxious little guy who struggled not only in the home but also outside the home. His mom just wanted to help him relax and enjoy his life. Several months later during our check in, Roger is thriving, loving going out and about with his mom, and doing more than she ever thought possible. Roger just needed to be heard and helped in a way that was different than what you'd think a dog would need.

Molly is the same Molly who didn't understand she had to walk to the center of the p*e pad to p*e. Since our conversation she hasn't had an accident off the p*e pad, so her mom was hoping I could help with some physical issues she was having. She would occasionally yelp and freeze, but otherwise seemed perfectly fine.

Molly told me it was in her back, and she gave me some information on what type of rest/recovery she needed. Her mom, in the meantime, took her to the vet and sent me this response -

"What you recommended is just what our vet did - your confirmation makes me have greater trust in our diagnosis - thank you so much!"

Brooklyn was definitely not my normal communication case. His mom originally reached out about some severe fear issues, and Brooklyn was quick to cue me in on some bigger issues going on "in the walls of the house" and "with his people." After an intense conversation that his mother completely understood, she went on her way.

Recently we had a check in with Brooklyn, who no longer hides under the bed, and has pretty much gone back to his old self. His mom sent me this message:

"You literally started the conversation that created miracles!!!!! Seriously! You should know what you have done for me and us!!!! What you're doing is phenomenal... please keep going with it - you've helped me so much. You've moved me - and Brooklyn - from one level to another, and I'm so thankful for you!"

Sometimes conversation with an animal take weird turns (remember the dog in the Ukraine talking about flights being delayed?!), but I've become more confident in trusting the process and knowing it will eventually make sense, which is exactly what happened with Brooklyn.

This animal communication journey has definitely been the most fun one I've gone on in my life yet, and I'm so thankful for everyone who is on it with me, or will be on it soon 💗 schedule your appointment online today!

Ramona and I have created quite the relationship this year. Her mom reached out initially due to fear issues, which we were able to help Ramona with. A few months ago, Ramona started acting strangely, and vets kept guessing, but couldn't put a finger on in, so her mom reached out to me, wondering if Ramona knew what was going on. Ramona clearly sent me something going on in her right inner ear which was effecting her whole body movement. That gave her mom enough information to reach out to a specialist who saw Ramona and confirmed what I had felt: "Ramona's right vestibular dysfunction are most consistent with a right peripheral vestibular system issue likely due to unresolved right sided otitis media-interna."

I don't speak doctor (I tell clients all the time to remember I'm not a vet), but I do speak animal, and I'm so thankful we were able to get Ramona the help she needed so she could feel better.

So often animals know what they need and where to go for answers. If you're stumped, schedule today so I can help put you on the right path 💗

This is Fuel. We've a chatted a few times over the years, and his mom reached out to me to do a check-in regarding some perplexing behavior and make sure he wasn't sore. Fuel has been through a ton over the last year - He lost several housemate dogs, moved to a new home, and became his mother’s only agility competition dog. All this added up to a lot of pressure and stress for him. He wanted so badly to not make a mistake, and in his mind upset his mom, that he was running agility very cautiously.

We assured him he could run fast and if a mistake happened that his mom would not be upset at all. They switched up their warm up routine and made some other tweaks, and last weekend he had a perfect weekend earning 3 QQs, winning every class, and earning another agility championship!

Animals have thoughts, feelings, emotions, and coping mechanisms - just like people. Sometimes we need to talk to them, hear them out, and help them through - just like people. Schedule online today to help your furry family member 💗

Always thankful to The New York Times , but extra thankful when they - likely unbeknownst to them - write an article which will hopefully push the animal world even farther in the right direction. As a person who talks with all creatures great and small, they are sentient, they are emotional, and they are deserving of our love and respect. I would venture to adjust the article - I know horses do, in fact, think about the past and the future, so while they are experts at living in the present, they, also, are so much more.

Warwick Schiller made his name as an expert trainer. An enigmatic little horse completely changed his outlook.

It's not often I chat with a 21yr old cat, and it's definitely not normal when that 21yr old cat is still thriving, happy, and completely with it. Chanel was such a cool guy to talk to, and his mannerisms were so fun. He ended the coversation by telling his mom, "I'm not sappy and sentimental, but I want you to know how thankful I am for you and the life you've given me."

Whether it's an old cat, a young puppy, a middle aged horse, or a bird/reptile/etc that you have no idea how old they are - I promise I can talk to them. Schedule your appointment online today!

This is Jewel. Jewel came from a pretty horrible situation, so when her new mom saved her, she reached right out to me for a chat. Jewel was starved, very tired of people, and she was so tired of being used. We informed her she would know nothing but love, food, and compassion, and if she never wanted to do anything again, she didn't have to.

Over the last many months we have checked in with Jewel, made any adjustments to her feeding, life, etc that she needed. Finally she told me she loved her new home, and wanted to know she was safe there forever. The answer was a resounding yes, of course, and she started to grow an affection for "her little boy." Just last month Jewel was finally ready to let him up on her. No longer does she feel used - instead she feels loved, cherished, and heard, and she was ready to embrace that and her family. It didn't happen overnight, but it certainly happened 💗❤️💗

In my first chat with Scooby, he was incredibly anxious, worried, and had started p*eing in the house even though he was fully potty trained. The p*eing started right after his family had put a new shed in the back yard, and he asked if they could put a dog bed in the shed so he knew it was safe in there (and he gave me a history before he was rescued as to why sheds scared him). His mom said the moment she put a bed in the shed, the p*eing in the house stopped and hasn't come back. Such a simple fix, but one she'd never have known if we didn't talk to him!

As for the anxiety and worry, Scooby was on medication, but he said it wasn't helping. He asked for a specific blend of a few things, which his mom went and got, and in our check-in she informed me it's been completely life changing and Scooby is a completely different dog with so much more relaxation.

This is why I do what I do. I want to help animals feel their best and connect more deeply with their people 💗 schedule your own appointment on my website today!

Remember Lulu, the dog from the Ukraine who knew before an attack happened? Well, during our conversation, Lulu was also telling me about her mom's upcoming travel and how her plane would be delayed, but not to panic because her connection would also be delayed. I told her mom all this, and she informed me she was set to travel for work the following week, but both of us knew how insane it sounded that Lulu could predict the future. Well, the other day her mom sent me an update:

"Somehow dogs can see the future. Lulu was spot on that I was delayed with my departure (because of an attack that morning) - however I did not stress, and sure enough, my transport was also delayed. It was a little crazy to experience.

"The conversation with you and her has really made me start to rethink my whole view on how things on this planet work. I am very grateful to you."

There is so much to this world that we don't understand. I love having these animals as teachers, and I'd love to hear what your fur-kid has to say to us, too, so schedule online today.

This beautiful girl is Zoe. She's been a friend of mine for a long time, and as she's gotten older, her needs have changed. In our last check in she was talking about needing more salmon - which her mom had given her brother, sister and her for the first time the night before our chat - and she said dairy was too hard on her GI system these days - which her mom would add to her food sometimes.

Getting such specifics still amazes me, even this many thousands of communications in. Let's see what your animal says to me - schedule online today!

I've talked to Jersey a decent amount over the last year or so, but I received an SOS message from her mom a few weeks ago. Something wasn't right, and their last show of the season was that weekend. Jersey told me a new farrier had done her feet, and he had trimmed her too short and hot nailed her left front foot. She needed her feet wrapped and wanted a few days to see how she felt. Her mom confirmed everything Jersey told me, and when we checked in the day before the show, Jersey said she was ready to go for it. They had a great weekend and took 4th out of 186.

I'm so thankful I can help in moments like this and give Jersey and her mom some peace of mind to go conquer their last event of the season 💗 schedule your appointment online today!

This is Peanut. Peanut is a 10yr old dairy cow who stopped eating recently and her humans were baffled. When I tuned in, Peanut said she's been colder than she ever has been before, and she thought not eating would concerve energy.

Her mom said the cold made sense - it was her first time being the only cow in that side of the barn and the nights were getting into the 40s, so she could imagine she was cold. We told her we'd get her a blanket, but also that eating was important to stay warm, so please eat hay.

The next day her mother messaged me and said her hunger strike was over and she was mowing down hay again. To think Peanut just needed to understand how to function in the cold. I'm so thankful I was able to help her!

Her whole life Molly has used a p*e pad, but would often p*e off the side of it. Her mom didn't know what to do, so I asked Molly why. She was confused, not understanding what she was doing wrong. I had to explain that her BACK feet, not front feet, had to be in the middle of the pad before she went.

Over a week later and all of her potties have been on the pad.

If that's not proof that this communication thing works, I'm not sure what is. Schedule your appointment online today!

This is Knox. He's a wonderful boy, but had some issues his mother just couldn't put a finger on. After chatting with Knox, she felt infinitely lighter. She said, "Thank you so much! I can finally breathe because I feel like I finally know what to do with him!"

The animals usually know what they need if we just listen. Schedule your appointment online today!
