MID she slobbers when she drinks or when she gets excited, but not nearly as bad as Hooch. She is so smart. (Of course aren't all of our babies?) She really does know how to work that face!

She has shredded my clothes, with me in them, to get me to feed her. She really does have an eating problem. Once she starts she can't stop. It is weird. So I feed her to save my clothes. Somebody asked me the other day why all my clothes had big holes in them. LOL

JHODI, I'll show this just for you, though everyone here has already seen it. Roshi and LittleBear would go nuts in company style together. I think I need to leave the west coast and come and join you people....:

This is grayson, my spirit cat, who is no longer with me. Losing her was almost a suicide for me, that's how important she was. SHE spoke to me and told me about the way to pray the cherokee way when, in answer to prayer, LittleBear came into my life (I had said to Grayson just before leaving her, "Honey, I promise I will never leave you again, but Spirit wants me to go to prepare a place for us." I left her, but I was duped. My Shoshoni woman who did the "telling" was a dark spirit, a very dark one. She stole my medicine bundle, my identification/ and my grayson. I never saw them since. It was the most painful thing I have had to do--including re-arrange my whole way of "listening" to Spirit. Here's Grayson, the last pic I have of her:

Spring that is so funny, though probably not for you. In K9 Tom Hanks gave his dog a frozen steak, it slowed him down for a couple of minutes, maybe it would calm down Cayenne? Try EFT with her, I've got copies of all kinds of stories of people using it on their pets for all kinds of things. I think it would be worth a shot.

Wild Dove, that is so sad about your Grayson. i am so sorry to hear that.

MID, thanks. You never lose your love for these gifts creator provides. Native teachings are so in line with deep respect for all animals whom they claim COME TO US, TO HELP US OUT, rather than the reverse....

WD, I so agree. And from wonderful personal experiences with my last dog, Toby. He was a spiritual friend, for sure.

My new little Roshi, I named him that because it is Zen for "old teacher". I know he has lessons for me...and I have a feeling they are going to be doozies. I pray for those lessons to be gentle.

I was extremely saddened by your story. I didn't even want to respond.

Have you been able to find meaning in that suffering?

Yes. It was about faith in the inner voice, which can almost be as comforting, affectionate and uplifting when you really begin to trust is. Sensing the presence of a Spirit animal, an angel, Great Mystery itself is real when you put aside the logic/mental baggage that interupts the natural flow through which all our pets/strays have as their mission. There's no science or logic in this belief, but it comforts me, especially when I feel Grayson's presence and others sitting with me do, too. (Just had to change my avatar pic to include a monkey baboon in LB's and my "sit" with the candles on the beach, and posted a pic/joke in rumpus room thread "Monkey Business"....

ROSHI, "Old Teacher". WHAT A PERFECT NAME. You are an amazing and deep, deep teacher of wisdom yourself! Wa Do!

What a cute bed!! It a regular bed or a "dog bed"?

Subject: Re: Show us your Friends Tue Apr 29, 2008 10:06 am

MID I got that bed at IKEA. It is a youth bed. (Actually for toddlers when they first get out of the baby bed) You can extend the sides to make a twin size, but I keep it at 40 something inches for Cayenne. So it is about 2/3 the size of a twin. It was actually cheaper than buying a dog bed. IKEA is so inexpensive. I bought one of those orthopedic pet mattresses to put on it for her. It fits perfectly.

Oreo the cat princess (she is 14 years old) has taken Cayenne's bed over. She loves it.

Spring, I just want to hug Cayenne. She's adorable!

Ok, I finally found a few minutes to snap some pics of our new babies:

Here's Maddie:

Here's Marley's Eagle:

And after about 7 tries, I got them both to look at the camera at the same time! LOL

Ok everybody, I just love all of your family members, so cute and cuddley. I have two male dogs, Buddy and Samson. Both were rescued from the shelter. We let our 12 year old Daughter get a puppy from the shelter two weeks ago and she has a female Lab about a month old and just chases the older dogs around and likes to bite them, her name is Trixey. Will get some pictures of them.

Subject: Re: Show us your Friends Tue May 13, 2008 9:03 pm

Osiris I can't wait to see your family members. We love our animal babies here at the nest.

Coincidence too! I had a collie named Trixie when I was young. She was the sweetest thing.
