Shanti Paws

16/02/2026

Shanti Paws has been quietly happening for years, I just finally decided to call it by its name.

Yesterday I met up with a woman who calls herself homeless and also fiercely in recovery. She’s been sober a while, stuck in that slow, grinding limbo of “doing everything right” and still waiting for housing to catch up. She’s got this little dog who goes everywhere with her.

Curtis James who us also known as Catmando grabbed a piece of luggage for her, and I showed up with what I always seem to have: lightly used clothes I don’t need anymore and a pile of donated dog gear—harnesses, leashes, walk kits people have handed me “in case you know someone who needs this.” Watching her light up over a harness and a bag with actual wheels reminded me why I do this.

Shanti and Me, Shanti’s Pack, Shanti and Me Sound Bath and Meditation (Shanti Sounds) are my paid offerings.

Shanti Paws is the year‑round channel where all the overflow goes: extra collars, bowls, leashes, sweaters, and whatever else I can reroute to dogs and humans who are right on the edge of their next chapter.

I’ve been asked what day and times do I do off leash dog hikes and do I take small dogs?

🌿🐾 Happy Saint Francis of Assisi Day! 🐾🌿

Today, we celebrate the inspiring life of Saint Francis of Assisi, a beloved saint known for his deep love and respect for all creatures great and small. 🙏❤️

Saint Francis saw the beauty and inherent worth in every animal, recognizing them as important members of God's creation. 🌍🐦🐶 He preached compassion, kindness, and stewardship towards them, teaching us the profound connection we share with the natural world. 🌳💚

Let's take a moment to reflect on the wisdom of Saint Francis and his teachings. Let's strive to be more compassionate towards animals, treating them with love, care, and respect. 🤗🐾

Whether it's adopting a rescue pet, supporting animal shelters, advocating for animal rights, or simply appreciating the beauty of wildlife, every small gesture can make a difference. Together, let's make the world a better place for our furry, feathery, and scaly friends. 🐾💕

🌿🐾🙏❤️

We need names to add to the tree if you have any names of your companion animals that have passed on, and you’d like to have them added to our tree. Please give us names and the color ribbon you would like.

🐾🌟 Introducing Hershy, the Doodle! 🌟🐾

I want to take a moment to share my incredible connection with Hershy, the goofy boy. 🐶❤️ From the moment he stepped onto my grooming table, his sweet and content presence filled the room. Hershy is not just a pet, but a joyful and loving creature with an amazing personality. 😄🐾

As I begin grooming him, I can feel a deep connection forming. Hershy's kind and patient nature shines through, making our time together truly special. The way he embraces the grooming process with such grace and trust is awe-inspiring. 🛀🥰

I believe in the higher consciousness of pets. I have a direct connection to the wisdom and knowledge that these sentient beings possess. 🙏💫 When I connect with Hershy, I sense a profound energy exchange, as if we are two souls meeting on a deeper level. 🌌✨

For me, pets are not simply "pets." They are our equals, deserving of love, respect, and understanding. 🐾💖 The bond I share with Hershy and other animals transcends words. It's a sacred connection that reminds me of the beauty and interconnectedness of all living beings. 🌍🐾

🐶🌟🙏

The Comfort of Sleeping with my Dogs

There is nothing quite like the feeling of crawling into bed at night with my furry companions by my side. As soon as they want up onto the mattress, I can feel my stress levels start to dissipate, and a sense of calm washes over me. It's as if their presence alone has the power to heal me.

On the nights when they're not with me, I feel a noticeable difference in the quality of my sleep. I toss and turn, unable to find a comfortable position, and my thoughts race as I try to quiet my mind. But when my dogs are snuggled up next to me, I sleep more soundly and wake up feeling refreshed.

There's something about the warmth and weight of their bodies that is incredibly soothing. I love feeling their soft fur against my skin, and the sound of their gentle breathing lulls me into a deep state of relaxation. Even if I've had a tough day, or if I'm feeling anxious or overwhelmed, having my dogs in bed with me helps me to feel safe and secure.

It's not just the physical comfort that they provide, either - it's the emotional connection that we share. I know that they love me unconditionally, and that they're always there for me, no matter what. They don't judge me, or criticize me, or expect anything from me - they simply love me for who I am, flaws and all.

Of course, there are times when they can be a bit of a distraction - snoring, shifting positions, or nudging me for attention. But even these moments are a reminder of the joy and companionship that they bring into my life.

At the end of the day, sleeping with my dogs is about more than just physical comfort - it's about the deep bond that we share, and the sense of peace and security that comes with it. As I drift off to sleep, feeling their warm bodies pressed against mine, I know that I am loved and protected, and that everything will be okay.

Twas a Pet’s Night Before Christmas

“Twas a pet’s night before Christmas and all through the house – not a creature was stirring, especially the mouse — ’cause that mouse knows who’s in the house.

Oh there’s Fido, there’s Fluffy, there’s Duchess, and King. On Rover, on Scruffy, with that squeaky thing.

Go by the red hydrant, run past those trees; nothing can stop you, not even the fleas.

They heard a tinkling on the roof – you know how reindeer are – when you gotta go….the prancing of each little hoof.

Then down the chimney — St. Nicholas, he was greeted with a purr and a bark and a bite on his Nicholass.

He came with squeaky toys, rawhide, and liver to deliver. His eyes, how they twinkled. His dimples, oh how merry.

When Rover licked his nose, it tasted like sherry. He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle — and said a Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.”
