Visit from Theodore…

Posted on March 2nd, 2010

Okay so some of you are probably going to read this and think I’m going psychotic…others…my more spiritual readers, well you will probably tear up at the spiritual aspect of this story as I have been doing all day long.

Last night around 8 p.m. I broke down in tears because the tuft of Theodore’s fur the vet gave me lost its smell — I could no longer smell my beloved cat from the small tuft. I was devastated.

I suffer from insomnia – some nights worse than others. Last night was a BAD night. At 5:55 a.m., I suddenly awoke from a very light sleep to feel a cat walking/pacing back and forth across the foot of my bed, walking over my feet to and fro the sides of the bed. I wondered why Sasha was up at this time and not in her usual spot: two feet away from my head at the head of the right side of the bed. I felt the cat walking over my feet and picked my head up..

Sasha was sound asleep right next to me.

It was Theodore’s spirit visiting me on one of my worst nights. The walking stopped as I picked my head up and then I felt a hard pressure on my left palm — Theodore used to nudge my hand quite hard when he wanted head scritchies.

This actually freaked me out a little so I turned the TV on for some light, and then I saw them — paw print impressions on the cashmere blanket at the end of my bed…

I immediately knew it was Theodore – and I knew it was him telling me that he is okay now and not in pain – and that he is still waiting for me. Although I was freaked out (I have NEVER experienced anything remotely close to a human or animal spirit visit), I told Theodore to rest and that I love him and not to nudge my hands anymore because that scared me. (I kept the TV on til I awoke at 10 a.m. this morning). I’m actually considering calling a pet psychic to see if they can tell if his spirit or whatever is in my room — is that me going crazy or what?!!?

What do you all think???

Budget-Friendly Pet Gifts For the Holidays

Posted on December 20th, 2009

It seems more holiday pet tips are coming my way from all differnt directions, so I thought I’d post this one too. This one is about some great holiday pet gift ideas that are nice and easy. It’s from my good friend John at Guideposts.com.

Here are 5 purr-fect budget friendly gift ideas for your pets:
http://www.guideposts.com/story/presents-pets-christmas
1. Buy a great toy: Check out the environmentally-friendly toys at your local pet store, or online. Or go even more simple. A bucket of old tennis balls makes Kelly happy. Try making a toy yourself. If you can sew, create a simple stuffed teddy bear for your pup. Tie a feather or pompon to the end of a string for your kitty. Get creative!
2. Cook  Something Yummy: Find a recipe for healthy dog treats. Try this dog carsomething yummy:rot cake recipe from Sharon Azar’s WOOF! blog or Editor-in-chief Edward Grinnan’s dog food recipe.
3. Frame a picture: For your animal-loving friends and family, frame a special picture of their pet, or create a small scrapbook or brag book. If you’re handy with the computer, print up stationary or note cards, with the pet’s picture in the corner.
4. Make pet books and calendars: Pet lovers will never grow tired of reading about their best friends, and there are so many great options: fiction, memoirs, how-to, and great true animal stories. (Check out Guideposts’ own Their Mysterious Ways) Page-a-day or monthly pet calendars make great gifts, too.

5. Give your time: What’s the best gift to give a pet? Your time! Get down on the floor and play, maybe even invent a new game with your dog or cat. Relish time to just cuddle. Kelly and I like to get wrapped up in a blanket. For your pet-owning friends, offer dog walking or pet-sitting. Or help more pets by donating time or money to a local animal shelter.

(Next one added by me, yours truly….I couldn’t help it)

6. Volunteer. I think that we should all get out and volunteer for an animal charity this holiday season, whether by being at adoption events, writing letters, or answering phones, go into your local pet charity and see how you can help this season!

Happy holidays!

Fun Friday: With Howie AGAIN!

Posted on November 27th, 2009

Of  course my Uncle had to bring his new Golden Retreiver puppy Howard to the Thanksgiving feast yesterday. I first introduced you all to Howard on the blog before Halloween. He is growing up so quick – he’s 33 pounds already and is a total maniac! I desperately wanted to steal him from my Uncle but no change of that happening…

 Man was it hard to get a STILL shot of him, he’s gets the zooms ALL THE TIME, and is constantly running, playing bitey-face with whatver is in front of him, and just plain being a menace. But he’s the damn cutest Golden Retriever menace I’ve ever seen. So “here’s Howie…!!!”
