Can Pet Loss Be More Painful Than Human Loss?

I hear very often from grieving pet owners that I talk to, that they feel more pain over losing their pet or animal companion, than they did over losing a family member. It sounds crazy, but I think that it is really hard to replace the true unconditional love that our animals give to us. They love us no matter what. They don't care what we look like, how much money we have or don't have, or whether or not we're in shape. Maybe one day we humans will learn to love that way. There is so much to be learned from animals.

Please share your experiences with us with these kinds of emotions. Have you ever felt this way?

Have a beautiful day,

Pets Bring Healing to Baby Boomers

It is common knowledge that laughter is healing, that beauty uplifts us and that nature elevates our spirit and brings us a sense of calmness, comfort and well-being. Did you also know that our animal companions are natural born healers who, with their playful antics, spontaneity, purity of spirit, vulnerability and unconditional love and forgiveness offer us a link to the natural world from which we have all evolved and reconnect us to a world beyond technology and full of spirituality and grace?

Pet Loss, Pet Memorials

Tri-Color Sable Havanese Puppy!

It always brings such a smile to my face and a warmth to my heart when one of my customers sends me photos of a new puppy, kitten or bird. Today I received photos of 9-week old Mikey! So I wanted to share them with you.

Isn't he cute? He lives in Rancho Mirage, CA and is sure keeping them on their toes! His mom says that "he's a real handful"! He is the first entry into our New Furry Friends! Photo Album. Check it out in the sidebar on the left.

Have a great day!
