On June 3rd at 12:20 am my first nephew was born. His name is G. Wyatt Stinchfield. My brother Grant and his wife Amy have a 3 year-old yellow lab named Bella. The day of Wyatt arrival home from the hospital my brother posted a you-tube video of Amy sitting down holding Wyatt giggling as Bella whirled around them trying to jump up on her lap to give Wyatt kisses. I have seen new mothers before with their babies terrified that their dog would scratch, hurt, or give their dog germs. But Amy and Grant giggled and remained confident that Bella would learn quickly that her new brother was fragile. As days and weeks go by pictures are sent via email of infant Wyatt lying on Bella’s belly and Bella gently kissing Wyatt’s face. They joke that Sister Bella babysits as they run out of the room for a moment. My brother and sister in law are smart alert people. If there was an ounce of reason to worry about Bella’s behavior around Wyatt they would immediately pick it up. Bella has been the perfect dog.

Here I will ask Bella, “What did you first think of Baby Wyatt and what do you think of him now?”

BELLA: “When I first saw Wyatt I thought this is what they had been telling me about and this is why mom has been gone. I wanted Wyatt to look at me and acknowledge me but he just sat there. I danced around them trying to get him to open his eyes but he remained the same. I wondered if he would ever move. It was not until later on that night that I realized that he was like I was when I was a puppy. I figured it out when I watched him breath. It reminded me of when I was little and use to cuddle up with my sisters and brothers. That is when I realized that it is best to be real still when he is close so that he can sleep comfortable on another breathing body. He moves around more now and he smiles at me. It took a few weeks for him to start recognizing me, but he does now. He is really smart. My mom and dad are still my good friends. I was told by another dog that when your people have a baby that you get ignored, but I am not ignored at all. They still love me and talk to me and take me out. I can’t wait for Wyatt to get a little older because I want to show him all the neat places in the yard and I want to tell him that when he learns to walk he can lean on me. I also want him to know that I will always keep him safe and I will try my hardest to be there if he ever falls. I also want him to know that I will be very careful of the stroller so that he doesn’t get knocked around. I know he is really fragile now, but my dad thinks he will be tough one day. So I can’t wait for the day he can play with me at the dog park. Everyday, Wyatt starts to understand new things. I think he is starting to recognize that there are different colors in the world and he is starting to recognize things by their smell. He doesn’t smell like I do though. He can grab onto things too now. I am so lucky to have him. My mom and dad picked a great baby.”

WATCH BELLA & WYATT MEET FOR THE FIRST TIME:

"It's lunchtime and I'm ready for my cheeseburgers!"

Katie has since passed. Love to her family.

THIS IS SCRIMMY. She says, "I am the reason my mom (person) reads so much." Her person is studying to be a librarian.

THIS IS CUBBY. She says, "The World's Best Cat Litter (which is very fine) makes me feel dainty. I do not feel dainty often."

My life pretty much revolves around animals. I wake up to a cat kneading my head and venture out at a dawn to take the dogs for their daily morning walk. Then I head off to work to talk to the world’s pet all day. I come home to taking the dogs for a swim, letting the bunny out into the yard, brushing the cats and then more work. When I was a child my grandfather had built a small sailboat. Sailing with the wind and the waves was my only true passion outside being at the stables. So now when I want to get away from who I am or what I do I head to the ocean. In 2002, I met Shawn my ex-husband. He gave me my first surfboard and surfing lessons in exchange for training his dog. Shawn taught me many lessons in life, but surfing was by far the most fun and the most healing. During one dawn surf session I caught a beautiful long rolling wave at the Ventura Point. I stood up, dropped in and to my surprise there were three dolphins, two on my right and one on my left, surfing the same wave. I took a deep breath in awe and looked up to see a full rainbow over the Ventura Pier. It was the closet I have come to heaven on earth. Over the years dolphins have caught waves beside me and have swum under and around my board and I. I have never feared them. I have only a sense of gratitude for their presence. A few weeks ago, a pod of dolphins were swimming around the surfers and I thought I would challenge myself to make friends with them. People swim with the dolphins all over the world. What is different about Ventura & Santa Barbara County? I started to send them telepathic messages telling them how much joy they bring people. How a sight of a dolphin makes people feel blessed whether they are swimming in the water or walking on shore. I told them how people around the world swim with the dolphins and how people have trinkets of them in their homes. This pod of four dolphins stayed around us the whole time we were surfing. When our backs were turned one dolphin would sneak up to us. We would turn around to find the dolphin slowly swimming off. The dolphins asked me about dogs and what they were all about. They asked me about cars and umbrellas. I told them I would call them the next time I came to the ocean. That night I dreamt of hundreds of them in the darkness of the night floating sleepily amongst the seaweeds.
The next week I called them. They came but I had already gotten out of the water due to the coldness. From the shore, I explained to them about body temperature and why people wear wetsuits. They thanked me for the knowledge and told me to come again. A few days later, I was dog training at a different beach and I swear the same pod came to see me. They played close to the beach; jumping out of the water twisting and wiggling. People stood in awe. “I have never seen dolphins so close to shore!” They exclaimed. I had feelings of grandiosity that some how they sensed my presence. That somehow an invisible string of energy connects us and they had come to this beach, miles from were I first saw them, to ask me questions and show that they too want to be friends.
That night when I closed my eyes I heard them echoing their songs and felt the ocean water rushing by my body as if I was one of them. I reminded myself that I am my greatest skeptic, but I am also my biggest believer. These past few weeks I have learned that I can no longer leave a part of me behind when I enter the ocean. I have begun to bring who I am and my work into the waters with me. Whether I fully believe it or not, I am making friends with the dolphins.

Lindie Lou was burned terribly by some type of acid that burned down to the bone. Lindie Lou asked me, "Am I going to get new legs and will people ever stop noticing them?"

"The most important thing for people to know is that dogs need a job or they will bite people!"

Rusty is a rescue dog. He used to be a biter. Now his people do lots of training and take him to herd sheep & cattle. Rusty is very careful about his biting now.

"I want a red vest that says SHEEP HERDER & PARK PLAYER on it."

"I was hit by a car and when I was on the side of the road these big birds kept flying down to me and poking me. They were going to kill me. It was really scary. Then you came. You are nice, but you are strange. I have never seen one of you up close before."

This sweet little bird died from the car trauma. May her spirit soar!

These are their person's notes on our session:

QUESTIONS FOR BEEMER:

(BEEMER WAS AFRAID THAT LAURA WAS GOING TO BITE PART OF HIS BRAIN OUT WHEN SHE TOLD HIM SHE COULD HEAR HIM. SHE TOLD HIM NO, AND HE WAS OK AFTER THAT)

DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR LEG AND THE SURGERY?

Hi Laura,

What an amazing an enlightening experience we had with you yesterday! Now that they know there is someone who can hear them I'm sure we'll be seeing you on a regular basis...
Thanks again for coming into our lives. You are truly gifted and wonderful!!!!!!!

Hi Laura. I just wanted to thank you for your help the other week. Sushi is SO much better! We had company over last Saturday night and not only was he less scared (and didn't hide under the bed) but he also came out to show his favorite trick! he pulls his own treats out of his treat jar.

Anyway, thanks again! - Lisa

Hi Laura,

You gave a reading for me and my cat Thumper a few months ago and I just wanted to update you on his condition.
You helped me to understand what was going on in his mind during his very sudden and aggressive episodes. In the past few months, we've done a lot. In May, even though I don't usually agree with this procedure, we had him declawed in front. It was a very hard decision to make, but considering we weren't having any luck yet we thought it best to at least protect ourselves and others with that.
I did a lot of research of my own into his problems. We went to a neurologist (at a facility that also includes homeopathic vets). I'm no vet, but I am a good researcher, and most everything pointed to psychomotor seizures, a type of epilepsy that doesn't show any physical signs of seizure, but does happen in the brain. The neurologist agreed with me after performing a few tests and put him on Phenobarbital. Unfortunately, with this type of epilepsy, you can't diagnose it unless the animal is actually having an episode and you can hook him up to an EKG, so we start with this. If he has anymore episodes with the same severity, we know it isn't epilepsy and we move on to something else. If he doesn't, or he does but with less intensity, we're on the right track with this medication.
You really helped me do this research intelligently. Without your translation of his thoughts I wouldn't have had as much info going into this as I do. I'm a very emotional person, to a fault sometimes, and I was worried these constant vet trips and meds would break Thumper's spirit, but he's just a peppy and tenacious as ever. He's still him, which is a blessing, especially since this drug is really hard core.
I hope we've found the answer, or at least have gotten close. Still no luck with intregrating him with Soda, the border collie, but it's more because I have such emotionally upset energy that I don't want to do it until I can project something more positive. It's hard not to look at them like they're my babies!
Anyway, I hope this finds you well. Thank you so much again for your help. I know you must face a lot of adversity with what you do (I face a lot just because I believe in it!), but it truly is a wonderful gift, and you are showing it so well.

-Laura G. (Thumper the cat and Soda the border collie's mom)

Hi, Laura,

I have been telling everyone I know that your visit was one of the best gifts I have ever given myself and my furry family. Watching you communicate with my kitties was like watching Magic. One of my favorite moments was watching Mollie sitting by the corner of the couch looking into your eyes, at peace with you. (My friends have never seen her because she goes under the bed). And, I loved Ellie asking you if your Mom is an animal, and Freddie telling you he could hear you with his whole body. Our feeling tone is so different--like the kitties and I are a team. Mollie seems happier, and so am I. On Sunday I was gone most of the day, accidentally left the office door open, and everything was fine (she didnt pee in the office)

I am just so grateful and excited, and feel very blessed to have found you.

Thank you again, R.

Hi Laura,

Just wanted to give you a quick update on the critters after our talk last week! I am SO happy to report that Scrimmy has started using the litterbox again! This weekend, I bought some new cat food as Scrimmy requested (Weruva brand) and when I got home last night, I promptly opened up a can for the kitties. Scrimmy absolutely loved it and licked his bowl clean...about half an hour later, I saw him walk into the laundry room and lo and behold, I heard him scratching around in the litter! I went in there after he was finished and he had pooped in the litter box for the first time in months! Today when I went home for lunch, I saw that he had peed in there, too! He has not used the litter box at all in about a month now...you cannot imagine how thrilled I am! Additionally, after the cats ate last night, they both ran around like kittens - Cubby's lethargy seems to have disappeared! I have also been making sure to do the other things they requested - Cubby has her own cushion on my bed, and Scrimmy's been getting to play with a string. Everyone's been getting along and has seemed really happy!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart - I was really at a loss about how to deal with Scrimmy's litter issues and I finally feel like everything is going to be okay. You have a wonderful gift and I feel blessed that I got to "talk" to my animals! I really enjoyed getting to hear about life from their point of view (who knew they would be so funny?) and I feel much better equipped to care for them now. Feel free to share this if you like...I've been telling everyone I know!

Much love,
Jenna, Scrimmy, Cubby and Hazel

P.S. I have been massaging Hazel's shoulder as you suggested and she really seems to like it...we haven't gotten to work on the calming exercises on walks yet (been raining every day!) but we are looking forward to trying them out. Thanks again!

Laura,

Thank you again for sharing your gift with Billy (African Grey Parrot) and me. It was a beautiful day and we really enjoyed our visit. Things seem to be going well softer hits and more calm interaction.

Thanks Again, Terri
