Furry Words September 2024

Another summer in the books!! It was a hot one where I live and I know I spent a lot of it in the water coated in sunblock and my dogs had fun in their plastic blue kiddie pool in the backyard. I think we’re all enjoying the cooler nights and although I love the summer, I get giddy when I pull out the sweaters and cozy clothes! I put the call out on the Sara Moore Enlightened Horizons Facebook page for your questions and once again you stepped up! I’m a psychic for people and pets, but a reading is never a replacement for licensed medical care. Enjoy!
    
Carolyn Z. asked about Jettie, a 14-year-old tri-pawed Golden Retriever. “Is she still happy to hop around or is she getting ready to go?” She is winding down, in her words. She is tired and life is still grand but faded to her eyes. She is not as energetically strong as she was three months ago and when the fade comes to the point she doesn’t want to eat as much or sit outside, she will be ready. I don’t see her here for Christmas, but I do see fall foliage around her, so possibly during autumn? Trust your gut. She will tell you since your souls are so intertwined.
    
Deb B. asked about Lucy, a brindle Walker/Plot Hound. “She is 13 years old and has become more vocal and reactive. Am I seeing dementia or pain from arthritis or teeth? How can I help her be more comfortable in her skin, and what does she want me to know?” I don’t feel dementia, but she is struggling to stay in her body. By barking and being reactive, she can clearly tell when she’s fully in the body by feeling the vibration of her voice resonate through it. It’s unsustainable for the long haul, but I do think talking with the vet about pain management is wise. It almost feels as though she’s burned out some nerve endings and taking the edge off that could help. She loves you very much and only wished you could find more time and ways to care for yourself as well as you do for your beloved animals. Sound advice that I think we all could use!
    
Amanda F. asked if Finn, a Bichonpoo is going to be okay or is he going to need surgery. She also asked how he hurt his neck. My neck muscles instantly feel super over stretched and my cervical neck feels sore when I tap into his energy. At first, I got a huge yes on surgery, but I think there may be one more avenue to consider. I think I’m seeing dry needling. I have never had it done, so I’m not 100% sure, but it feels like if you can do something to stimulate the muscles and make them contract, they will release after treatment but be kind of tightened up. I am also seeing Scarborough Vet, so if that’s where you go, give them a call and ask! It feels like he tripped and tumbled forward, right cheek to the ground first, so if there’s compressed discs more on the left side that’s why. Wow! Smart pup!!
    
I’m going to end with a question from Kathy M. about Bohdi, a Chocolate Lab. “Are you happy?” Um, are you kidding?! This dog hit the lottery with you! He can be silly, sassy, manipulative, but he can’t lie, he LOVES life, and he wants more toys even though he doesn’t play with them. It’s like having a beanie baby collection from when I was a kid. I’m also wondering if you lost a childhood friend with whom you may have played with them. Interesting!!!
