I watch the Puppy Bowl every year, but tuning this year will feel extra special.

I had the pleasure of doing mini sessions at the official Puppy Bowl XXII tailgate party this week! It was a blast and a whirlwind. I connected with 36 animals, which is definitely a record for me. It was so lovely meeting all of the wonderful people and pups (and shhhh…a few cats, too).

Thank you and for this fun opportunity!

At the end of September we took a little trip to the area around Minnewaska State Park and the Shawangunk mountains, where I surprisingly hadn’t spent much time before. It was such a wonderful trip, and we not only got to spend time hiking, but also hanging out with some amazing animals!

We visited and spent a day doing equine-assisted therapy at the (10/10 would recommend both). Here are some of my favorite memories from the trip.

I adopted Milo 9 years ago today!

He has changed my life in ways I never could have imagined.

He has taught me a lot about resilience and boundaries and joy and asking for what we want and need.

He has given me a reason to get out of bed and leave the house on days that I otherwise wouldn’t be able to.

He helped lead me down the path to becoming an animal communicator. (I didn’t even know it was an actual thing before I met him.)

And just so much more than I can put into words.

I love you, Milo, my tiny little beeb. You’ll always be my little baby. Happy adoptaversary!

I’m grateful to have spent my 44th birthday (which fell on Black Friday this year) hiking up the side of a snowy mountain with my partner and dogs.

This is Spike the hedgehog. During our last animal communication session with Spike before he died, his person asked what he had been teaching her. 

His reply: “We can be small and mighty.”  He reminded us that small beings, small actions, and small changes can have a big impact.

I told his person that the sentiment he was bringing across reminded me of one of the principles of ‘s Emergent Strategy: “Small is good, small is all.” 

A few weeks later, Spike’s person reached out to let me know that he had died and she was reading Emergent Strategy in his honor. I couldn’t think of a better way of honoring him.

A couple of days after that, Spike visited me in a dream and encouraged me to draw him. So I did, and with his person’s permission, I’m sharing the drawings with you in hopes that it helps you feel just a little bit heartened during these bleak times. Maybe it will inspire you to do one small good thing today.

We’re creatures of the night. (Lucy too but she doesn’t like costumes so we don’t make her dress up.)
