Amazing the number of people who scowl and tell me I’m spoiling my animal family. It flummoxes me. These people, ‘the complainers,’ don’t just turn up their noses at me and my kids. They’re rude about disapproving of people (like me) who treat our animal family as something more than discardable toys, and in public […]

Grace the Cat’s Tail
We live in a small condo: just me, two Cavalier spaniels (Murphy and Alki), and Grace the Cat. Well, okay, let’s include my crystal partner, Fallon, and Raymond, a fifty-something jade tree who spreads out like an oak. Yes, our condo is small. Still, it’s plenty of room for my head and Grace the Cat’s […]
When Animal Communication Bites
Have you always wanted to talk with an animal? And hear it talk back? It’s easy. Just do it. But be polite, or you’ll find out, like I did, that animal communication can bite.

What Do Animal Communicators Really Do?
There are so many people doing animal communication that they’ve begun to specialize. I don’t do animal communication exclusively. I communicate with all life, from animals to businesses, homes, and nature, including wild/domestic land and weather systems. Essentially, animal communicators help us telepathically connect with animals, by hearing or seeing them or experiencing their feelings. […]
Cool Things We Need to Know
This week we’ve all heard how incompetent we are: according to the media, none of us pee enough or understand that nuclear power was idiotic to begin with. Some of us do and did. That includes me. How about you? While you’re thinking about it, here’s something to like: check out “Field Study Stars Rock […]
We Mean Dog Business at The Cantankerous Dog Lover
I’ve fired a lot of vets in the 12-1/2 years since I welcomed animals back into my life. Sometimes I think there isn’t a vet left in Seattle that I’ll talk to, let alone pay to take care of my kids. That makes me The Cantankerous Dog Lover, standing up for better, more common sense […]
