Hitting Home With The Effect of Covid 19 In 2020

 

Since Covid 19 virus came to our nation in 2020, there has been a tremendous shift in all our lives. Normal living as we knew it, was to never be the same.

Families lost loved ones, their jobs, businesses closed, and I remember the long food lines that helped our fellow Americans to stay alive.

Our nation was devastated with a living a new way of life and even today, in 2021 I still hear of family members across the country that are still not working and  are trying to cope with survival at the deepest level. My story of how this world-wide pandemic hit home at my doorstep I am sure is no different than your story too. Read More

Helping Animals

Helping animals and loved ones too has always been dear to my heart. My family growing up allowed us to have our own pets and my children were given the same opportunity too. There is always love to share when helping someone in need.

In my world, there is always time to help an animal no matter what they need help with. Getting out of a tree, unwinding their leashes when it is wrapped around something, filling their water dish, or maybe just being more aware that they need a hug too.

Our dog, Rocco, is always nudging my leg to get attention. So, I stop what I am doing and look him straight in the eyes and find that he too recognizes the love between us and then his small cute tail starts wagging. How could I not reach down and hug him, play with him and share some loving, even for just a small moment? Love goes round and round.

Recognizing that animals have a gift for us and we for them too is what it’s all about, loving each other. I am looking forward to writing more posts about animals and loved ones and helping them with comforting their pain and stress and anxiety. My heart goes out to all who need help with these areas of discomfort.

Take care,

Always a friend to animals

A Pet’s Love

 

Have you ever wondered how some animals as pets survive? Most dogs and cats don’t survive when there is no love for them. They may be provided food and shelter and that’s all. No one in their home cares what happens to them. And then sometimes, for whatever reason, a  pet has been abandoned by the side of the road, or just dropped off at someone’s doorstep, left to survive on their own.

 

There are many shelters that have rescued animals and there are adoption agencies who try to find new owners whose hearts are opened to caring for an animal in need. Love from a pet is amazing. Some wait, wonder, and hope that love will come their way.

 

During a transition of not having a home, being rescued, and coming to a shelter is a lot for an animal to make sense of. Many of them are terrified, stressed and have anxiety. Even when they have found a new home full of love, they still need comforting with getting over their stress and being terrified.

 

A best friend of mine rescued a German Shepard only 6-8 weeks old. Its mother had died, and an animal shelter was hoping for a home with love for this little one. The dog was very scared and afraid. Aromatherapy helped this little one go beyond being terrified and stressed. It took time, but the German Shepard’s love was there all along and their love went round and round. That was 7 years ago.

 

It is a miracle that there are dogs and cats who do find homes where there is love beyond words. Pets have plenty of love to share, if given the chance. They need love just as much as we do too.
