I was going to start a separate dog blog on another website, but then I thought, hey, why not just post about my dogs here? My dogs are like my kids and they are a huge part of my life, so why not? They also happen to be very good teachers for me, as they remind me to live in the moment. Dogs don’t worry too much about what’s going to happen tomorrow.
My former dogs, Charlie and Black Jack, used to accompany Stevo and I on etheric forays in the chat rooms. They were very fierce on our behalf. I don’t know that Sammy and Molly will get into doing that, but time will tell. We’re still bonding as a family. We do have a tendency to attract remarkable dogs to our family, however. Sammy and Molly are true to form. I whistled for them today and Molly came charging over, jumped a couple of logs and barreled into my arms. What a sweetie!
Sammy is officially a nudge, and his middle name is Trouble. But underneath that, he’s a sweet soul who secretly likes to cuddle. He even kills ants on our behalf. We are currently dealing with an ant infestation in our house, and Sammy paws at them until they stop moving. I have to stop him from eating them, though, as they are full of poison from the bait our ant guy put out.
I just looked up the medicine card for Ant, and it’s patience. Building your dream a little bit at a time, taking the community into consideration, knowing that you will be provided for, trusting the Universe. It really coincides with what Stevo and I are experiencing right now in terms of our future dreams and goals. Unfortunately, we have to kill a lot of ants in order to be comfortable in our home, so I’m not sure how that balances out. It’s always fun to look up the animal medicine cards when a particular animal crosses our path. Once on a bike ride, Stevo saw six white rabbits, and we never see rabbits here. I looked up the card for Rabbit and it coincided with some thoughts and feelings he’d been having recently.
I like to pay attention to different types of communication: my higher self, Nature, animals, the sun and moon, the cards, etc. I think there is a lot of valuable information out there and we just have to be open to listening in different ways. Sometimes my dogs have a lot to say. On a nice day like we had today….the message is PLAY!
