    Vibrant Health for Our Dogs

    Vibrant Health for Our Dogs

    This is Episode #193, Season 4.  This time I go back a few years in time to share what will help us segue into now, with vibrational wellness. 
    Teaser: "I had to ask myself the following questions to move past the fear and resistance to receive the vibrant health and wellness I was being offered for Shadrach, myself, my husband – and every future dog that has since come into my life. Our mind and emotions play a huge role in this. I have seen it over and over again that fear causes others to attack the message and the messenger that is actually the lifeline leading them out of danger into the wellness zone."

    Sing Ourselves Healthy!

    Sing Ourselves Healthy!

    This is Episode #192, Season 4.  This week we're taking a different focus - still on natural health, but a whole new way of "seeing" it. Another level up! SINGING ourselves healthy and thereby our animals as well. Weird? Maybe, UNLESS you are a part of the W.A.G. tribe and movement!

    The Unforgettable Journey of Shadrach: A Tale of Resilience, Love, & Natural Pet Health

    The Unforgettable Journey of Shadrach: A Tale of Resilience, Love, & Natural Pet Health

    This is Episode #188, Season 4.  This is the story from my book, Animals Taught Me That, on my absolutely amazing, awesome, authentic Neo Mastiff Shadrach. When this book was written in 2009, he was still alive. Shadrach passed away April 5, 2011 but he is ever in my heart and ever my inspiration!
    Quote:  “We may pass through the fiery furnace, we may pass through deep waters, but we shall not be consumed nor overwhelmed. We shall emerge from these trials and difficulties better and purer for them if we only trust in God.” ~George Q. Cannon
    Scripture: Daniel, Chapter 3 - Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego!
     
    NOTES
    In this episode, I share a deeply personal account of my experience with Shadrach, our Neapolitan Mastiff. I recount the challenges of helping Shadrach acclimate to a new environment, battling health issues, and the struggles of establishing a routine, especially around meal times.
    The narrative unfolds as I initially regret my decision to bring Shadrach home with us, but eventually I committed to providing him a loving and supportive home. Listeners will gain insight into the difficulties Shadrach faced, from training struggles to health concerns, including sleeping issues and occasional distress.
    As the story progresses, Shadrach’s health gradually improves, and he becomes more energetic. I reflect on the impact of conventional treatments, questioning their effectiveness and advocating for natural remedies and whole health. This sparks a larger conversation about the importance of natural animal health.
    This episode concludes with my realization that Shadrach had been impacted by health issues  despite being vaccinated - THINK on that! The narrative touches on an incident involving a lost dog, highlighting Shadrach’s strong personality and the lessons learned from our journey together.
    Ultimately, the episode highlights the profound impact Shadrach had on me, leading me to pursue further education in animal health and help other pet owners. The themes of natural care, resilience, and the deep bond between humans and animals are at the heart of this narrative
