A MIX OF SOME MY PET PSYCHIC MOMENTS. STARING BUFFY THE GOOSE, KATO THE MOUNTAIN LION, AND TILLMAN THE SKATEBOARDING BULLDOG. Also animal trainers Sid Yost & Trevor George Fowler, Pro Skater Rodney Mullen, and Tillman's Human Ron Davis.

VETS TALK ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCE WITH ME, A WOMAN WITH A DOG WITH AN UNEXPLAINED MEDICAL ISSUE, A COUPLE THEIR DOG AND A WEDDING RING, A CAT THAT IS SPRAYING ALL OVER HER PERSONS THINGS.

In an hour training session, Oliver began to learn stay, wait, and off. At the end of the session I asked him if he understood and he said, "Those are not the only things I learned. I learned to watch my mom more and if I do I can understand her like I understand you. I have just never listened to her for so long before. I am tired."

Religiously, I spend each dawn in a meditation walk (more like a geriatric stroll) with my dogs on Sulphur Mountain. It is in those woods that I pray for those I care for (including myself) and state to the rising sun what exactly I am thankful for. Some mornings, I am not very thankful. You may even call me bitter. I write my woes with a felt tip pen on pieces of shale and then hurl them off the mountain in the direction of the islands. It is my way of surrendering my problems to the great unknown. I am fascinated with the way animals and many humans can be grateful and strong in the face of great adversity. Here I will ask animals, “How do you stay grateful when there is suffering around you?”

Tess (cat who saw her person suffer from cancer): “I tried to replace all my senses with joy. So when I smelled the cancer on my mom I tried to look forward to the smell of the breeze when I rolled on the ground outside. When I would hear my mom cry, I would think of the music that her friend gave her to play. If you are not grateful for anything the sickness will win.”

Dusty (Golden who lost his house in the Santa Barbara Tea Fire): “When you loose everything that is important to you all you can think about is the touch of your loved ones. Then none of that loss truly matters. You can hold each other and feel like you are home.”

Sancho (Donkey who saw his friend get shot): “When you see humans do terrible things it is hard to trust. But if you allow kindness to enter your life it melts away the hardness that others created. At first I had to force myself to see kindness. Now I see it in my family’s eyes.”

Rose (Horse. Humans abused badly): “The only way, I can survive is to forget the past. Everyday, I try to have one thing I want to accomplish. At first it was to walk across my pen. Now it is to nicker to my friends.”

Xander (Dog battling cancer): “I think it is important to have people who are smart around you. It is important to ask for advice and say thank you. If you are grateful for others advice, they will help you work out your problems.”

Mr. Squirrelly (Squirrel who’s mate got killed by a car): “It is so hard to be grateful when you miss your best friend and want to die yourself. It helps me to believe in heaven. Then I know I will see her again and perhaps there is a reason for her dying. When someone is depressed you should feed them. Other wise they will not eat. Sometimes I have to force myself to play. Then I have joy and can sleep.”

Maia (My wolf-dog, was abused & cancer survivor): “Believe that everyone is connected and although you suffer someone may learn from your suffering and become a better individual. If you learn to suffer with grace you will have better karma.”

"Herding sheep has changed my life! I tried it on the cat. He didn't appreciate it. He hissed and swatted at me."

"I Love driving because it gives me a reason to wake up in the morning. I was tired of just waking up to see the birds and to talk to my friends. I really want to drive at an event. I am very excited about the idea."

"I am the most talented polo pony because I think like the ball. I can tell where it is going to go. I am the best horse on the team."

This is Savannah. She lived at the county shelter for many months. A volunteer has become her person and has spent a huge amount of time teaching Savannah to feel safe. Savannah says about learning basic commands, "I am happy it is learning instead of having to know."

HERE ARE WHAT 6 OF MY STUDENTS HAD TO SAY ABOUT LEARNING TO SWIM:
CISCO: "At first I thought you were mean to put me in the water. Once I learned how to move correctly I enjoyed it. The most fun was learning how to fetch my ball in the water. Now I am a good swimmer."

TOAST: "I am old and my mom always thought I was scared of the water. I love to swim. It is the best feeling in the world even though I need you to help me so my head doesn't go under. On days I am disoriented, swimming helps me to wake up my mind."

"I know I am the smartest dog in Texas." Bella received a high-school diploma in Texas and made the news. Read her story: http://grantsrant.wordpress.com/2008/03/27/bella-is-a-high-school-grad/

My brother is an investigative reporter for NBC. He is a four time Emmy Award winner and sixteen time Emmy Award nominee. GRANTS RANT is his blog. I have always admired my brother for fearlessly going after his passions. He has done stories on animal abuse, rescue and the inhumane capture of elephants in the wild for a well known circus. GRANTS RANT is his new project. I find it humorous as well as educational.

Rusty and the trainer's dogs talk to one another. Rusty thought he should stay close to the sheep and bite them. In cattle yes, but not with sheep. When I told him the other dogs were right by telling him not to bite the sheep he says, "I don't like being wrong."

"This is the best time of my life. I am going to remember every dog here. I have so many friends."

"Did you know that I am the smartest in my litter?"

This is Rocket a professional Cutting Horse. He is being ridden by his trainer Scott Weis. Rocket is very talented. I asked him about being disciplined and he replied, "Discipline is doing your best even when your body is sore and your mind is tired. If you concentrate for a short period of time you can rest later. Discipline is believing in yourself and knowing that inside of you is powerful and worthy of greatness."

This is young Kylie. She lives in a home with Zip and Kiwi, who are both experienced agility athletes. Kylie looks up to her older siblings and says with confidence, "One day, I am going to be the biggest agility champion in the world!"

This is Zip. His mom is a positive dog trainer. He says, "I love to run fast and earn titles in agility. When running the agility course, I would like it if my mom could visualizes the next obstacle in her mind sooner. I get a lot of my cues from the pictures in her head. I like to be prepared."

After Greta rode the escalator as Nordstroms, I told her that she could tell Gita (her sister German Shepherd) about it when she got home. Greta replied, "I could tell Gita about it, but she wouldn't believe me."

May you find wisdom and humor in the thoughts and feelings of these animals.
