A Whirlwind!

Wow, what a whirlwind adventure it has been the past couple months! I started working back at my old part time job at Baron's Country K9 in April and have been on several business trips up north to New York. It has been crazy but a good crazy. So having said that it is why my newsletter is going out so late.

On one of my trips I was invited by the Humane Society of Gloversville, NY to come and do readings at their event in April. I was also able to meet with some of my clients who I have never met before. Now we all know New York can be cold and snowy but generally it is pretty safe to travel there in April. Well the night before the outdoor event it snowed and then it was pouring down rain. It was the folks whose property we were using that allowed us to use the back warehouse for the event. It was a lot of fun and hope to be able to go back next year and do it again.

As I said I was able to meet with several of my clients for the first time and their animal companions. I also got to meet with Carol, who is the owner of Bloomingtails Dog Boutique, and her cute little furbabies. If you notice on the Bloomingtails website her babies are modeling some of the cutest outfits! If you haven't yet please visit her website and check out the amazing selection she has on clothes, food and many other items for your animal companions.

There was also the Mid-Atlantic German Shephard Rescue event at the end of April that I attended and had a blast at. There were many donated gift baskets and a lot of food to go around. Of course there were many german shephards that attended the reunion also. There is one little guy who comes to the event every year and is always mistaken for a puppy, he's not and it is always fun to watch the reactions on people's faces when the man with him tells them he's middle aged! Even the dog thinks it is funny to do.

May has also been a very hectic month so far. I am heading back up to New York again to Mechanicville for a group party. As always those are so much fun to participate in. If you would like to get together your friends for a great treat of messages from your animal companions please email me and we can get something set up!

I think June will be a little less hectic for me but we are already half way through the year and I have no idea where it went. I know many others out there also feel the same way. And the animals they just keep plugging along and loving us with all their heart, unconditionally.

BlueLine K9 Dog TrainingI

I would like to introduce you to Mike Soler. He is the owner and service provider for BlueLine K9. Mike became one of my clients a few months ago. He had brought in two of his demo dogs in for a reading and to help him get to the bottom of an issue he was having with them. The reading went well and we got to the bottom of things for him and the dogs.

I really like his service and the way that he trains the dogs first (who by the way get it fairly quickly) and then he trains the "people" (who often times have a problem learning new things). Mike has trained hundreds of dogs since 2004 including 5 service dogs. He teaches dogs and owners in group classes or with individual lessons. His effectiveness as a trainer is not just measured by his certifications, degrees, books, and videos, but by his results and his clients.

I would recommend anyone living in the Maryland area to get in touch with Mike if you are having a behavior issue you just can't get a handle on with your animal companion. Check out his website at www.bluelinek9.net.

Seasonal Allergies

Just a quick note to let everyone out there with an itchy pet, you are not alone. I am finding animals with allergies that never had them before. It is also the most sensitive ones that seem to have the most issues. One of my dogs is having a serious allergy issue right now that we are working with her to her from chewing herself raw. Even being on the best foods have not helped her. So we are doing as much holistically as we can to help her clear up. So don't worry if your dog is having a hard time with allergies right now. It will pass soon.
