         <title>TIME WARNER CABLE SEGMENT</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<strong>Time Warner Cable does a segment on me being a pet psychic.

I talk to a cat (Ike) that is going into surgery to remove cancerous tumors and a black lab (Zuma) who talks about something her pet sitter could do differently.  Iris the goat is also featured.

Myself and several of my clients are interviewed on animal communication and whether we think it is a fad or if it will be a growing field. (Thank you Jaya, Jon, Jodi and Tina of Aloha Dog Grooming).

         <title>BELLA (LAB) TALKS ABOUT HER NEW BROTHER BABY G. WYATT</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<img alt="UP%20CLOSE%20WYATT%20%26%20BELLA.jpg" src="http://www.theanimalstribune.com/UP%20CLOSE%20WYATT%20%26%20BELLA.jpg" width="320" height="240" />

<img alt="2009_6_June_Grant_Wyatt_Stinchfield_419-1web1.jpg" src="http://www.theanimalstribune.com/2009_6_June_Grant_Wyatt_Stinchfield_419-1web1.jpg" width="320" height="229" />

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.

<strong>Here I will ask Bella, </strong><strong>“What did you first think of Baby Wyatt and what do you think of him now?”</strong>

<strong>BELLA:   <em>“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.”

         <title>MAKING FRIENDS WITH THE DOLPHINS</title>
         <description>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 &amp; 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.

         <title>BIRDIE FOUND ON THE STREET</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<img alt="birdie_2.jpg" src="http://www.theanimalstribune.com/birdie_2.jpg" width="319" height="216" /> <strong><em>"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."</strong></em>

This sweet little bird died from the car trauma.  May her spirit soar!]]></description>
