Hey Reader, Today, we celebrate Mother’s Day—not just for mothers in the traditional sense, but for all loving beings who nurture, protect, and care deeply. To honor you, your animal family asked me to share this heartfelt message with you. Dearest Reader,
It’s me—well, us, really... all the animals who’ve shared your heart in your life.
You might not realize it, but we chose you.
Long before we met, our souls whispered to yours.
We came into your life for a reason…
To comfort you, to walk beside you, to love you just as you are.
Maybe it was during a hard time—when grief or change sweptt through like a storm.
Or maybe it was a time of joy, and we arrived to share it with you tails wagging or purring in delight.
However we found you, please know this:
You were never a random choice.
Our connection is written in the stars, rooted in something deeper than time.
💟 We feel your heart We know it.
And oh, how we love the way you care about us~
how you worry, how you try, how you show up.
You’re our special person—you’re our safe place.
You’ll always be our heart and soul.
So this Mother’s Day—and every day—we want to say what we can’t always put into words:
Thank you! Thank you for loving us.
For listening.
For being you.
For being ours.
With all our love,
Your animal family (as translated by Cat)
Happy Mother's Day! ~Cat, Finnegan, Minnie and Yogi Bear P.S. Ever wonder what your animal family would say aloud~just listen with your heart 💝. They’re always communicating with you. Let me know if you’d like help understanding them. |

September is National Responsible Dog Ownership Month. As a Pet Parenting Specialist and Animal Communicator, I've found that being a responsible dog parent is about more than walks, food, and belly rubs. September's focus on responsible ownership offers us a chance to explore our role as pet guardians. In just the last few weeks, I’ve had multiple sessions where a loving dog parent asked the gut-wrenching question: Is my dog better off in a new home? The decision to rehome a pet is often...
It took me 6 months to work up the courage because I have major trust issues. My issues stem from my first mom teaching me to retreat whenever things didn’t feel safe, so that’s what I do to protect myself. Thankfully, Cat understands this. She is patient, kind, and persistent. Cat knows I can't go any faster than I'm comfortable. Her secret sauce? Cat consistently meets me where I’m at during our daily “dates,” where I let her pet me while noshing on something tasty. Day by day. Treat by...
Guess who caught a mouse in their house? Not my 2 kittens, Minnie and Finnegan, or even my squirrel-and-chipmunk-chasing dog, Yogi Bear. The Animal Muse Crew: Finnegan, Minnie and Yogi Bear I did 😻!
