Names carry energy. When naming or renaming your pet think about what type of energy you want your pet to have! Remember… you are the one that has to live with it….
Silly names will tend to yield a pet that is funny, goofy, maybe a bit mischievous.
A confident name will tend to yield a pet that is slightly dominant, a leader, bossy.
A cuddly name will yield a pet that is loving and gentle.
These names can help, but personalities are of course stronger than any name.
We all have nicknames for our dogs. Usually many. Most of the time these nicknames are completely different from their given names.
Names carry energy, just like all words.
The wrong nickname can make your pet feel very bad.
When you are using nicknames please sure sure the nickname has good energy. Make sure it is positive. Otherwise, your pets self esteem will suffer and your pet may develop nuisance behaviors as an effect. Your pet’s energy will be affected by any name you use to address your pet.

Many guardians complain about cats not using the Litterbox and can’t understand why.
Though there are SO many reasons your cat may choose to stop using hte litter box, one of the most common is the smell.
You may not be able to smell the box, but they can, especially when they are so close to it, and especially when they are digging in it.
Do you thank you pets for the things they do that you like?
Do you thank them for listening to your requests?
Do you thank them for making good choices? Such as peeing and pooping where they are asked. “Sitting” when you request, etc.
I am a big advocate for communicating with animals the same way you do with humans.
If you ask a friend to bring you a water on their way from the kitchen, I’m sure you’ll say Thank You when they do.
Sometimes. You should tell them. But be sure to tell them why they are in foster and they are worthy. You do not want them to feel abandoned or unwanted when they relocate again.
Animals feel when they are abandon, unwanted, and unloved. It hurts their self esteem. Animals are optimistic beings. They are excited about new possibilities when entering a new home. Many animals want to stay where they are. They ask to stay.
Some animals say they know it is a temporary spot for them and they are looking for someone else or a different environment.
Some animals want to stay but understand the foster process.
Some animals feels more abandonment, unworthiness, and shame when they know they have to leave again.
We want to prevent the last one from happening.
Sometimes I hear people talk about how much work their old pet is. Or how annoying their old pet is.
Animals don’t do things to annoy you. They aren’t trying to inconvenience you. Animals don’t understand these things. They always try to please and serve.
Caring for an old animal is a privilege. After devoting their entire lives to love and loyalty to humans (you or other humans in their past), they become even more dependent on us. They need more. More care. More love. More patience.
It is a privilege to be the final stop for such a selfless being. A being that has lived their life literally for everyone else.
Yes. 100% each and every time our pets choose us. There are never any mistakes and any animal that is meant to be with you will find it’s way to you.
We make soul contracts with our animals before we come into this life.
Our animals recognize our energy and find us. They put themselves in our path. They make sure we see them, find them, notice them, make us think we are “choosing them”.
Even the ones that end up being “difficult” chose us for a reason. It could be to teach us a life lesson, teach patience and understanding, or be the loyal soul that never leaves your side despite your frustration (among MANY other reasons).
My Family laughs at me because I give my dogs such SMALL treats.
Here’s the deal.
Animals aren’t like people. Their *satisfaction* from a human giving them a treat is NOT based on size. It is the connection of human to animal. The touch. The sharing.
Every single time I eat, I share with my dogs. Sometimes it is my own food, sometimes their dog snacks. But every time. I share 5 or 6 (on average) bites with them each time. Over the course of a day, between sharing when I eat, or just giving them snacks for rewards, they probably get 30 “snacks” a day. Sounds like a lot right? But they are so small it is not that much.
Continue reading “Snacks!”I recently returned from a trip to Guatemala. The strays tugged at my heart, like they always do. Thankfully most were in pretty good condition.
The life of a stray is hard, even when they are in decent shape.
When we travel, we can help. Little things make a big difference.
It can be VERY hard for them to get water and food. Most people think about food because they see thin strays but water is just as needed.
First some followed us all the way up the mountain (14k ft). They slept on the mtn with us at altitude. They never left us. I fed and watered those with food I packed for the climb. Then after the climb I spent some time walking around the city buying food and water at mini marts and feeding them. When I went to remote areas I brought extra food and water in my bag. It doesn’t matter what you feed them, anything is better than the nothing most have.

Make a plan for your pet if something happens to you, regardless of your age.
Too many pets end up in shelters, and worse yet KILL shelters because family members do not take the pets.
This can be short term or long term.
What happens if you are hospitalized for a long time? Who will take care of your animals?
What if something tragic happens to you and you die unexpectedly? Don’t just assume someone will take on your pets.
Do you know someone who is elderly? Talk to them about this. They don’t often think of this. They just assume family will take their pets in.
