This is the story of an 11 year old Akita named Mac who lives with Annette and her husband Kevin:
 
"Saturday Kevin noticed that Mac's energy level was on the low side-something extremely unusual for him.
By Sunday, Mac was basically incapacitated to the point where he wasn't even able to get up to go out
& relieve himself. He was literally dead weight.

We took him to his regular vet on Monday where they felt there wasn't anything they could do for him.
They'd taken chest X-rays & found a dark mass pressing against his left lung which was also stressing
his heart. They suggested that we take him to an internist & gave him drugs which they knew weren't going
to do anything for him. The vets felt so bad for him that they just wanted to do something. After a biopsy
from the veterinary internist, she was all but 100% positive that the dark mass was cancer. Not only that,
but he had primary cardiac disease. We also discovered that Mac went from 100 lbs down to 89 lbs.

I immediately called **** & asked her about her holistic vet (***a veterinarian that uses essential oils as part
of her holistic remedies for animals).

(The Vet) had us come in at her earliest available time slot. She had Mac taking oils internally as well as
externally along with other supplements, chiropractic & acupuncture to support him in his healing.

To make a long story short, Mac was bouncing around 2 weeks later as if nothing ever happened. Since then,
he's had a couple of 'slow days' that haven't lasted more than 3-4 days at a time. We've changed some of his
oils & he still loves having them massaged onto his ears. While he trots comfortably on his daily walks, it has
me running to keep up behind him. He's back to his 'fighting weight' of 100 lbs & is the strong, energetic, happy
& loving dog that we've always had.

All we can say is thank God for these lifesaving oils! I truly believe that he wouldn't still be with us without them.

Addendum: Mac went to (The Vet) today for vaccine exemption. She said his heart was fine. No problems! 
Anyway, it looks like we're going to be celebrating his 12th birthday on September 17th.

Last week was the first of our 5 Workshop series on Beginning Animal Communication.  Before each
workshop, I am usually a little flustered trying to coordinate all of the technical issues.  Thank goodness
for Linda, who rises to the occasion and manages to pull everything together and make it work.  The
technical issues for this workshop were a little more challenging than usual in that our seminar service
locked out several students from the seminar.  Although I love the freedom that technology can bring to
our lives, it also, frequently, drives me crazy!  Despite that, we had a good workshop and I feel things
will be smooth from here on out (we switched seminar providers).  Even with occasional glitches,
a live event is fun and I always get nice emails back from our students afterwards.

"Charlene,

Last night was so special.  I am very excited about what I am learning and what is coming up.  I feel that
my understanding of animals is increasing and I feel much closer to them already.

Thank you for offering this opportunity.

For those of you who would like to experience our workshop I wanted to extend the $1 trial offer for another
week.  You can go to this link to read about this special trial and to register.

5.  SUMMER TIPS FOR PETS

Summer is upon us and we are again reminding you that during this time of heat, your pets require special attention.
These tips come from Arizona Family: 

"For most pet owners, summer is a time to relax and have some fun with your cats and canines! And while that’s
certainly true, don’t relax your guard when it comes to protecting your pet. These summer months have the potential
to be the most dangerous time of the year. Here are a few tips on how to keep your pets safe throughout the summer.

But It’s A Dry Heat
Dogs and cats only release body heat through their footpads and by panting. This makes them vulnerable to heat
stroke, especially short-nosed breeds, older animals or overweight animals. Make sure to keep your pets cool indoors
and out, give them lots of water, and never leave your pet in the car unattended. If your pets show signs of heat stroke,
cool them down with ice packs or cool water and get them to a veterinarian immediately. Signs of heat stroke include
a temperature of 104-110 degrees, heavy panting, rapid heartbeat and glazed eyes, dark or bright red tongue or gums,
excessive thirst and/or profuse salivation, lethargy, fever, dizziness, lack of coordination, staggering, stupor and/or
seizures, bloody diarrhea or vomiting, and unconsciousness.

Pesky Summer Fun
All sorts of little bugs come out to plague pets in the summer months! Fleas, ticks, ear mites, and mosquitoes thrive
in warm environments. Use the appropriate prevention products recommended by your veterinarian. Health officials
recommend to protect your pet from mosquitoes the same way you would protect yourself: remain indoors around dusk
and dawn when mosquitoes are most active, keep windows screened, use vet-approved dog mosquito repellent, and
eliminate standing water that attracts bugs. Don’t use DEET on pets as it can be dangerous if they ingest it.

Not All Dogs Know the “Dog Paddle”
Animals should be eased into water for the first time, never thrown or chased in. Not all dogs are excellent swimmers
by nature. And even those dogs who can swim may have trouble getting out of a high sided pool. Supervise your pet
closely if he or she is near a pool. For a boat trip, outfit your dog with a life preserver – it could save your pet’s life. If your
dog does go for a dip in the water, don’t forget to rinse them off afterward. Salt and minerals like chlorine can damage
a dog’s coat.

Thunder and Lightning and Fireworks, Oh My!
Loud sounds from storms and fireworks could cause stress and provoke your pet into acting abnormally, which could
lead to injury. For example, your pet tries to escape the scary noises from thunder and winds up trapped somewhere
in the house. If you won’t be home during extreme weather or fireworks show, try to arrange with a friend or neighbor to
check on your pet.

Danger Zone
While you should try and walk your dog on the grass to avoid the hot pavement be on the lookout for hidden plant
dangers. Some plant food, fertilizer, and insecticides can be fatal if ingested by your pet. There are also hundreds of
plants that produce toxic substances harmful to pets. Antifreeze is another chemical to look out for since the warmer
temperatures can cause cars to overheat and leak. This chemical tastes sweet and is inviting to pets (and children).
It is extremely toxic even in very small amounts. Consider switching to a safe antifreeze alternative: proplyleneglycol.
Call your veterinarian immediately if you think your pet has ingested antifreeze.

Planes, Trains and Automobiles
Summer travel with pets in tow can be tricky business. Remember to never leave your pet unattended in a parked car,
as even a few minutes can get hot enough inside to kill. Dogs who hang their heads out of car windows can develop
eye or ear infections or could get hit by flying debris or even fall out. The same is true for dogs who travel in the backs
of pickup trucks (which is illegal in Arizona). Your best bet is to keep them completely inside the car or truck cab. When
heading out of town, it is wise to check out the veterinary clinics/hospitals in the are your are visiting in case of emergency.
If you’re traveling with your pets by air, try not to schedule flights during peak periods, which are often delayed or filled with
stopovers. A direct flight is easiest on your pet, as is an early morning or evening flight when the sun isn’t as strong. Keep
in mind that many airlines have summer pet restrictions and embargoes and most trains and ships only allow service
animals.

Summer can be a great time for you and your pet with a little preparation and common sense. When in doubt, ask yourself
how you would keep a human member of your family safe, and follow that advice for your pet. "

Mission Statement:

"I feel that my primary role as an animal communicator is to speak the truth for the animals.
By speaking their truth I am able to share with their owners their unique perspectives and spiritual
philosophies. The special bond that companion animals share with their owners is one that is built
on love and trust. Through this special relationship both owners and their animals have an opportunity
to experience love, trust and mutual understanding. It is the key to all relationships we develop with
our pets. As we become more sensitive to our pets, we learn that we are all One, created by the
same Divine spirit. Our ultimate goal is to live in harmony and joy with the animals we love and cherish."
