Today, Wholistic Hounds celebrates 5 YEARS in business! 🥳🎉

We want to thank each and every one of you for your support along the way. We truly couldn't do it without you! 🥰 🥹

We spent 2 years in business in Cleveland, Ohio before making the move over 2,000 miles across the country to Central Oregon, where we have been formally recognized as an LLC with the Secretary of State of Oregon for the last 3 years.

During the last 3 years, we have seen the most growth in our company. Specifically after closing our books for rehabilitation grooming and putting our focus on animal communication, nutritional guidance and energy healing. 🔮🐕🥕✨

There is a lot planned for the next 365 days for Wholistic Hounds, so be sure to follow along with our journey to see what new offerings are available as we transform the company.

Our pricing updates have also gone into effect and our booking system reflects our new pricing.

To be entirely candid, I'm really struggling since Ludo’s passing. 😔

Because I have been over 1,000 miles away from him at any given time, I wasn't able to see him to say goodbye. 😕

In fact, it has been over 3 years since I got to see Ludo in person.

The photos shared below are from circa 2017, the time when I shared a home with him.

Ludo wasn't just a dog. He was (and is) one of the most sensitive souls around.

I wasn't expecting to have this much emotional turmoil stirred up, but here we are.

Thank you for your patience with me during this time as I navigate the grief and accompanying emotions that have come along with it.

I love you all. Spend all the time with your fur babies you can! 🐕🐩🐾

Blueberries, not just good for our domestic companions, also loved by wolves!

It just goes to show that even a facultative carnivore like a wolf can benefit from (and enjoy) some fruit from time to time!

( Major props to the folks who counted the berry seeds in the wolf poo ;P )

Today, around 1:00pm Pacific Time, Ludo crossed over the Rainbow Bridge. 🌈

A wonderful veterinarian came to assist Ludo with his transition and my mom was close by his side in a familiar, safe space.

I conducted a spiritual ceremony and offered Reiki at a distance to help ease any fear or pain and to help Ludo, his caretaker and the vet during this sacred moment. ✨

According to my mom, his caretaker, it was a peaceful experience, which coincides with the energy I felt during the ceremony.

Offering love and Reiki energy during an animal’s transition can help ease worries and create a more calm experience. In Ludo’s case, it certainly offered an extra light of love during his spiritual ascension. 🕊️

Ludo wasn't just a family pet. He was a close friend, an ally and an energetic warrior who taught us that sensitivity and strength can be synonymous.

I wasn't just lucky enough to live with Ludo for several years, I was also fortunate enough to be the one to help him with his grooming and cooperative care journey. He even has a story featured in Wholistic Grooming for the Soul, our most recent publication. 📘

I wanted Ludo to be my dog when I moved out. In fact, I begged my mom to take him with me and even used to refer to him as my “son." 🥲

But when I look back and remember Ludo and the relationship we had, he was definitely more of a brother. A soul in which I am so thankful to have known, loved and shared space with.

Ludo has always been a sensitive soul and he lived a great 12 years, which is longer than most Saint Bernards get to live. He got to go on adventures that most dogs only dream of. He often got to make his own decisions and even though sometimes his choices led to negative side effects, that agency is something Ludo couldn't live without. 🥰

The emotions arising from Ludo's passing I'm sure will come in waves. It's inevitable to say that our publish date may be pushed forward, but we appreciate your patience and understanding during this sensitive time.

We'll be sharing some memories about him in the days to come. In the meantime, if you'd like to read about Ludo’s journey with holistic grooming and you'd like to support what we do, consider purchasing a copy of Wholistic Grooming for the Soul from your favorite digital retailer. 🩵

A sad announcement:

Ludo, the beloved Saint Bernard that I was lucky enough to share a home with for several years, is heading towards the Rainbow Bridge. His End of Life appointment is set for this upcoming Wednesday.

Ludo is one of a kind. He's helped our family through some dark days and he's always been a light in our lives. My mother, as his caretaker, is struggling with this ending, so please send your loving thoughts and prayers to make this transition as seamless as possible.

His best friend, Teddy, was our family's first Saint Bernard. Him and Ludo were the best of friends and even used to be walked on a tandem leash together! It eases my heart knowing Ludo and Teddy will be reunited at last.

Longevity is something we all hope for, but no matter how long we get, it's never enough. My precious Danny lived to be 14 1/2 - a good age for a Ridgeback - but his absence devastated me and it felt like he'd just been here a moment, and then gone. Still, Blessed Be those who love an old dog. You have had the maximum time any of us are allowed with these incredible, magical creatures.

I've been extremely busy with nutrition work, which is so fun and exciting, but it's time to focus back on Jade's Cookbook!

I'm still aiming to have the eBook released this September, but delays might happen if my client workload stays consistent.

How is everyone doing? I trust we are all making time for rest, rejuvenation and self-care!

Are we competing with each other more than we’re cooperating?

In my experience, humans that live in Western society typically see others as their competition, rather than their allies or companions. For many reasons, this can limit our growth as a collective society.

But if we take a look from nature’s view, we can see that we all benefit much more when we work together and learn from each other.

“In recent years, Western scientists have realized that cooperation is more important in both nonhuman and human societies than competition. Among nonhuman species, it turns out that 85-95 percent of behavior is affiliative or cooperative rather than aggressive or competitive.”
(Pierotti, The First Domestication: How Wolves and Humans Coevolved, 2017)

This quote is taken from Chapter 2 of Wholistic Grooming for the Soul. Evolution in Motion is an in-depth chapter about how wild wolves became the modern dogs we know today. Hint hint: It was through cooperative and mutualistic behaviors.

The truth is, humans may not be what we are now without the assistance of wild canids. To learn more about the evolution of wolves and how the first domesticated dog came to be, purchase a copy of our book Wholistic Grooming for the Soul on Amazon, Apple, Barnes & Noble or any of your other favorite digital retailers.
