My very special reiki client, my “nephew” Woobah 🌈. He’d lost a front leg to cancer several years ago, and almost two years later, it returned and made him very ill. His mama who has now also sadly passed on, would call when he needed to be “zapped”, and I’d go and give him all I had. She’d sworn up and down that our sessions would infuse him with some energy, and she was happy and grateful for every extra day that they had together. I had the honor of being with him on his last day, helping his spirit transition over into eternity, and though it broke my heart, I wouldn’t have wanted to be anywhere else but by his side.

Did you have a cup of coffee or tea this morning?
Did you call a friend to catch up?
Watch your favorite show on Netflix?
Take a painkiller when you had a headache?
Go to the gym?
Treat yourself after dinner?
You probably did multiple of these. You can take care of your own needs whenever you choose.
Your dog cannot.
Your dog cannot decide to meet their social needs. They cannot go outside and walk off their energy. They cannot grab a snack or a chew when they’re bored.
They cannot call a doctor when they don’t feel well. They cannot choose to go for a run, see their friends or go swim on their own.
Dogs are captive animals. They depend on us to meet EVERY need in their lives.
And what amazes me is how patient and hopeful they are about it.
They wait for us to take them on a walk. They wait for us to fill their bowl. They wait for us to give them play, comfort, and care.
Sometimes, we forget how extraordinary this relationship is. We forget the sheer weight and privilege of being someone’s entire world.
It's a huge, precious responsibility.
Their lives are so short. And in that short time, they rely on us for everything. And yet they do it SO joyfully, meeting us each day with hope, love, and excitement.
In return, they give us friendship, fun and endless happiness.
Take a moment to just appreciate how extraordinary that is.
So here’s my challenge to you: stop scrolling.
Close Facebook. Put your phone down.
And just take your dog for another walk (today, and every other single day.)
Don’t leave them crated for hours on end. Give them chances to run, sniff, chew, play, and just be your friend.
Because remember: they cannot do ANY of this on their own. Not one single thing. Every need they have depends on you.
Their whole precious life is in your hands.
It's your amazing privilege to make it the very best one.
With the most walks, games, adventures, playtimes and memories.
Don’t ever waste that chance to make it the most amazing life.

Oh boy. I made the unforgivable error of posting this with just the boys pictures attached. Immediately after I pressed post, the little one inserted herself into my consciousness, much the way she always weaseled her way between the boys and the source of any attention that they were getting. So I had to re-do the photo

A few words on unwell pet parent frustration, and a personal story:

Caring for an old pet with health issues is taxing. Venting your frustrations if you’re having a particularly tough time, is allowed. It doesn’t mean that you love your pet any less, and it certainly doesn’t mean that you won’t continue to go above and beyond, to do whatever you have to do for your fur baby, for as long as you have to do it. I’ve had to remind myself of that today.

Smoky, my heart and soul dog is 12. That’s fairly old for a big dog. He’s got arthritis and hip dysplasia, and his mobility isn’t the greatest. We’re spending a small fortune doing all we can medically, to try to improve and maintain his quality of life. He’s been having acupuncture, and last Monday, after another round of perfect bloodwork and urinalysis, he had his first Librela shot. I was very afraid to do it, because in rare cases, that treatment can go sideways in a very bad way. If it works, it can be a game changer for pain management and consequently, his mobility. We may not know for two or three weeks whether it’s going to work or not, but we both agreed that the time had come for us to roll the dice. I’ve not mentioned it in my breed group because there are people (not just there but anywhere really), whose stock and trade seems to be doom and gloom, and will take that opportunity to ratchet up my already high anxiety with horror stories. I can’t deal with that.

Smoky definitely has better ease of movement in the mornings, and as we get toward mid to late afternoon, it’s not as good.

This afternoon he got very antsy, and I thought maybe he needed to go out. I started to put the other piece of his harness on (we put the chest harness on in the morning and leave it on all day), and he laid down before I could get it all snapped on. I was annoyed, but okay. I took it off and walked away. He got antsy again almost immediately afterward. I came back and tried to put the harness on again. He kept walking in circles and I couldn’t get it snapped on. Then he laid down and I kind of lost it a little bit, and I loudly vocalized my frustration. I know this because D, whom I didn’t realize was sitting on the porch, heard and informed me of it after I came out. I went back into the house, closed myself up in the bathroom and took a few minutes to cry it out. I don’t know that I felt a whole lot better afterward, but I was able to decompress just enough to be able to get Smoky and me through to another day of medications and grilling food at seven a.m. that i likely will end up having to turn to mush two or three times a day to spoon into his mouth three or *four* times a day, then get him outside and back in, two or three times without injuring either of us, while D’s at work.

I am physically and emotionally exhausted, and if I need to open the relief valve once in a while, I’m giving myself permission to do that, and in the event that the neighbors hear any loudly uttered colorful language, I’m sure they’ll forgive me.

If any of you have or are dealing with a pet with challenges, know that you are not alone. Please give yourself permission to vent your frustrations, your heartache and your fears, so that you *can* pick yourselves back up and “do it all again tomorrow”.

And keep in mind that this is a safe space if you need someone who will listen.

Do animals have souls?

Without a doubt. When I connect with animals on a deeper energetic level, I encounter not just their thoughts or emotions, but their essence—a timeless, wise, and often profoundly loving presence that extends far beyond the physical body.

Animals teach us about unconditional love, trust, resilience, and the simple beauty of life, because they exist in harmony with the natural flow of the universe. They bring to our lives healing, lessons, and companionship. And when their physical form leaves us, their soul continues its journey, still able to connect with us in subtle and sometimes unmistakable ways.
