My thoughts on cognitive decline in pets (including canine cognitive dysfunction syndrome). My Sally came to visit last week. She’s 17 now (and very sprightly for her age) and spends part of her time with my ex-partner and part with me. I hadn’t seen her for about a week and I was really surprised… Continue Reading

Do you let your happiness depend on how your pet is feeling?
Of course we love them deeply… Pets tug on our heartstrings in a unique and deep way. As I write, the kitten that I fostered in the summer, Baby (who is now a permanent fixture), is being spayed and is just going into surgery. Now, I’m all clued up on prepping for surgery and for… Continue Reading
Navigating pet loss (with EFT tapping video)
Losing a pet is one of the hardest things we have to deal with as pet owners. The grief we face when a beloved pet dies can feel incredibly intense, even surprisingly so.

The heartache of a relapse (tapping and visualisation can help)
Baby’s update. I got a sinking feeling at the start of last week, when after making a fantastic recovery, Baby (the kitten that arrived on the doorstep at the beginning of June with cat flu) started showing signs of runny eyes again. My mind couldn’t help detour for a moment to wondering if she had… Continue Reading
How a sick kitten on my doorstep put me in a spin.
Who’s at the door? When my neighbours knocked on the door last Sunday evening and said they had a cat problem, immediately my mind raced to images of my Leo sitting on their laundry (he used to do that to my previous neighbour as well as stealing 1/2 used food pouches from their Kitchen) but… Continue Reading
When your pet needs surgery (tips and EFT tap along).
By the time this goes live, my lovely Sally dog will be undergoing minor surgery, so this subject is really on my mind.

Do you want your pet to be a happy traveller?
Maybe your pets love to travel, I know my Sally dog does, but for a lot of people travelling with their pet can be tense and uncomfortable for all concerned, often with vocal protests from the furred parties (especially if they are cats). Maybe your pet gets car sick and vomits on long journeys. You… Continue Reading
Making peace with what is (with tap along video)
I’m a great follower of the Law of Attraction techniques and I use them regularly with clients, for example helping them to cultivate a positive attitude and to become proactive rather than reactive to their pets condition or issue. When it comes to my pet owning clients there’s one technique that is very powerful, but… Continue Reading
Zen and the art of pet medication.
Not many people know this. I used to really hate having to give my pets medication. I would tense up at the mere thought of it, even just holding the medication would make my heart sink ever so slightly as my mind turned to having to administer it. Truth be known, I really was pretty… Continue Reading
