Greetings!
 This is a very young mustang foal who was photographed by wild horse advocate Cat Kindsfather as he l anguished in the custody of the BLM in a Fallon, Nevada feedlot on May 16th. The colt, who Cat called, "Feather," and who others called, "Sorro," was dehydrated and emaciated because his mother wasn't producing enough milk. No one at the BLM had noticed that he was in trouble until Cat her colleagues found Feather during a public tour of the facility; they pleaded for the people in charge to help him. Instead, they euthanized him, creating a national uproar that continues today. This is what our government is doing to our wild horses.
When something like this happens, we feel helpless and hopeless, broken-hearted and angry. But what we sometimes forget is that we each have the ability to create positive outcomes for animals in dire situations through the power of our intentions. Together, our combined energies can help to shift even the most intractable problems and injustices.
With this in mind, Marta Williams has spearheaded the concept of "sacred activism": by marshalling shared intentions, we hold the power to help suffering animals in places near and far. I have joined her in developing the Wild Horse and Burro Support Circles on Facebook, and I invite you to join us, too. We are sending healing energy to the captive wild horses captured from Nevada's Calico Mountains, and are also working to prevent future deadly roundups of these precious national treasures. I have been writing about the Calico mustangs for Examiner.com, and will continue to speak out on their behalf.

My monthly Animal Loss Support Group, Animal Loss and Support, will meet again on Wednesday evening, June 9th, at 7:30pm at the Integrative Animal Health Center in Bolton. It's a place and a time for grievers to discuss and celebrate the lives of their departed animal companions. Future meetings will be held on the second Wednesday of each month, in the same location. Participation is free, and if you know someone who might find it helpful to attend, please tell them about it.

 On this Memorial Day weekend, I'd like to thank you for caring for your animals with such love in your heart, and for reaching out to animals who need you. By making even the smallest contribution of your time, money, or effort, you can literally save a life.
From my heart to yours, |

Animal Communication Tip of the Month
 Caroline dearly loved her handsome Shetland pony, Casey, but hard circumstances had forced her to sell him five years ago, to people she had trusted. She was heartbroken, and never stopped regretting having to let him go. So when Caroline's life turned around, she determined to bring Casey back home. What she could not have foreseen was that it would take two arduous years to find him. Now that they were reunited, Caroline wanted me to let Casey know that they'd never be separated again. I thought our session would be pretty straightforward. But when I tuned into Casey, the story the pony related took an unexpected turn. Much to my surprise, the sweet gelding told me that people were saying he was a "bad" pony, and that he had even bitten someone. I couldn't believe it at first, but I kept listening. He said that he had been a little girl's pony (Caroline's child is a boy), and that things started going badly when the little girl fell off him after he had spooked. They called him a troublemaker. There was nothing familiar or pleasant about his life once he left Caroline's care--even his name, "Mr. Casey Jones," had been changed to something he didn't recognize or respond to. This certainly didn't sound like the pony that Caroline had described, nor did it feel like the lovely pony to whom I had energetically connected. What was going on? Things soon started to make sense when I received the note that Caroline had sent to me after reading my transcript of Casey's session. "I am sitting here with tears running down my face," she wrote. "Casey was sold to be a little girl's pony. When I found out they had sold him, the girl's mother said he was nothing but a 'bad' pony. He was NEVER a bad pony." No, he wasn't. But Casey knew the difference between people who loved him and those who just wanted to use him. Happily for him, and for Caroline and her family, the pony is home to stay, in a place where he'll always be appreciated for the good pony that he really is.

A Word of Thanks
From an Appreciative Client
 Sherry confessed that she had never used an animal commuicator before, but now she was desperate.
The longtime Saint Bernard breeder had entered her magnificent young female, LeAndra, in three large specialty shows that were scheduled for the upcoming weekend. There was just one problem: LeAndra wouldn't stand still so that Sherry could stack her in a show pose. Sherry had sent LeAndra for training with two top Saint Bernard breeders but both of them had "thrown in the towel and given up in disgust." This was LeAndra's last chance to earn points toward the Championship Sherry knew she deserved. But unless LeAndra would stack, she'd have to be retired from competition.
The first show would be in two days. Could I help?
I said I'd try, knowing how much was at stake. I "rehearsed" with LeAndra what she would need to do during the events, and hoped it would work. We wouldn't know until LeAndra entered the ring. I coached Sherry, too, and encouraged her to send LeAndra pictures of what she wanted her to do.
The following Monday, I was thrilled when I received Sherry's glowing report:
"Thank you so much for your help with LeAndra. It made a huge difference. She was a much, much better girl and at least stood still long enough so that the judge could see how lovely she is.
LeAndra was all business. She wanted to pull me into the ring--almost like she wanted to prove to me that she could do it, and she was ready to go.
In the first show, LeAndra won her class and then went on to Winners and Best of Opposite Sex (meaning 2nd best Saint at the show). She won her class on Sunday morning and was reserve Winners Bitch. She also won her class in the last show, went on to Winners, and then Best of Winners over the male. It was a fantastic weekend for both of us.
I can't thank you enough for your help. It made all the difference in the world. I am so amazed at the progress you were able to make with LeAndra. You certainly made a believer out of me, and I will use your services for other dogs in the future as well."

| What's Up With Your Animals? |
 There are so many ways to communicate with animals, as these stories attest. Animals are natural telepathic communicators, and it's because they're so good at it that I can "hear" them.
If you think that you and your animal would benefit from a telepathic consultation, please drop me a note or give me a call.
Until Next Time!
