Animal studies have shown that dogs (and all animals who experience REM sleep) do, in fact, dream. Following the electrical readings from various areas of the brain, it’s been shown that they often (as do people) dream of the things they experience when they are awake.

I have spent the last two decades helping people with their animals with a whole-life approach to enhancing the relationship between the animals and the humans who love them. I use animal communication, education, training, and a life-time of experience as tools to bring people and their four-legged friends closer together. I am also a published author of children's mystery stories as well as my book "Through Their Eyes, The Nature of the Beast" which explores issues people have with their pets from the animal's point of view.
Creature Thoughts, January 2018: Our Twilight Pets
Our Twilight Pets Is your older dog pacing, whining, and anxious without reason? Has your senior cat become restless at night, crying and calling out? Has your old pet’s appetite changed lately: either always hungry or refusing favorite foods? Does she spend more time sleeping or isolating herself from her family, and is no longer…
Holiday Special 2017 Starts Today
I don’t know what’s so black about it, but it’s the Friday after U.S. Thanksgiving, and that means the Holiday 3-Pack Special starts today.

As the date nears, please feel free to email me if you’re interested in purchasing a 3-pack for the holiday price.
Creature Thoughts, Nov. 2017: Rescue Pets
It’s become a badge of honor to say, “All my pets are rescues,” or “I have a rescue dog/cat,” rather than “I have a dog/cat.” In a lot of ways, of course, that’s a good thing; there are many animals out there in need of homes. It is kind and generous that people open up their hearts and families to these beings in need. I applaud those who rescue animals. I have a few “rescue pets” walking—and flying—around here, myself.
However, I also see problems with this trend that people might not, generally, think about. Many of the behavioral and health issues I help people deal with every day exist, at least in large part, because the pet was a rescue.
Creature Thoughts, Oct. 2017: The Species Agreement
When a spirit chooses to incarnate, it picks the species of choice for a reason. Whether we walk the earth as humans, or dogs, cats, birds, or insects, for some reason (which we must assume is a very good one), our spirits have chosen that form.
Once the form is chosen, we have entered into an agreement with that species. By inhabiting that body, we have taken on all of its blessings, and all of its challenges. Those blessings and challenges include everything which makes that species unique, including instincts, genetic behavior patterns, and physical attributes and problems.
