The past few days I realized spring was finally on its way. I hear the water running down the street drains and birds singing. The snow texture is changing on the melting snow banks. I'm thrilled the formerly icy sidewalks now have smaller "sidewalk lakes" and more dry pavement. Hobbes is sniffing snow piles and bare ground as he inhales spring smells.

In past newsletters I wrote about the wonderful ways Healing Touch for Animals® has helped so many of your pets. You probably read my blog stories of a cat who stopped spraying, Hobbes muscles being more pliable for his chiropractor, senior dogs with improved mobility, etc. I'm excited to share I spent the first weekend in March learning advanced HTA techniques. HTA helps all animals their entire life - birth, injuries, illness, fear, trauma, disease, and until their last breath.

Clients and I are thrilled with the results of these HTA techniques. A very reactive and fearful dog now occasionally grumbles when she sees people instead of at least a five minute barking session. An injured dog is acting happier and playing with his canine twin brother again. And a client in Colorado commented her dog with cancer "had a spring in her step and wanted to follow all the scents in the yard" the next morning after a distant session. I love hearing from all of you.

Gracie

With spring, people are gearing up for travel. A concerned pet parent leaving for vacation the next day was worried about one of her dogs, Gracie. During an animal communication, Gracie learned she was safe with her canine siblings when her human family went on vacation. Gracie's behavior improved during her "vacation" at the kennel.

You can help your pet with your departures and changing schedules. Before you leave the house, say out loud you are leaving. Pets understand when you tell them:

• Why you are leaving.
• When you will be back.
• And if someone is watching them.

For example, I tell Hobbes when I leave the house, "I am running errands and will be back before dinner." If I am leaving for several days, I tell him "We are going on vacation and will be back in five days. You are going to Pets Are Inn and will have a fun vacation." I tell Hobbes whenever I leave the house. It makes a huge difference for him.

Take care,
