I'm actually pretty positive the dog will be fine now. They are much wiser than us in that way and take things in stride, live in the now. It would be nicer for it if the owner could be in a calm place though.

I've sent him some energy for a peaceful transition when ever that time may be for him.

As for the owner...I said a prayer that she come to the realization that this is a part of life and to find more strength and be less selfish. Right now she is mainly thinking of herself and her own pain. Let's hope she can work through that quickly and begin to heal.

Love to Siba

This is a lesson for the human. She'll learn and grow from it in due time.

You speak my mind 100%, T.
Very frustrating that they do this to themselves and to the dog. I agree that this is a lesson for his mom. I loved your prayer for her, thank you so much. I sent a similar one. I was hoping Siba would recover since he's so young, but perhaps his going is a lesson for the human as you say... It's not our business to mess with the wisdom of Life and Death.

I wish people could regulate expectations. Imagine that I explained from the beginning what Reiki is about and what Reiki cannot do, and I was met with a "I know". Geez, then why are you doubting that I'm even trying? lol Pain talking and seriously it doesn't touch me because I know just have she must be feeling and I understand. My intention was to help. My ego is fine with any reactions.

Very wise of you

I thought I would share this with you. As a healer, you might find it useful and interesting to know.

I just got this book and was flipping through it this morning and decided to type out some parts that stood out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Animals feel everything. They are veritable sponges, absorbing everything that is in us on our behalf. They have access to our deepest feelings and express them in a different way. Yet we should not panic and blame ourselves if our animal is sick. This is a common and normal reaction. Often such a situation gives us the opportunity to comprehend something of importance. Though I do not know this with absolute certainty, I have noticed this effect numerous times.

I have worked with veterinarians in both the United States and Europe and have asked each of them the same question: "Do you think that animals take onto themselves the stress and concerns of their guardians -- that they absorb these troubles?" All these animal professionals agree: they have noticed a correlation between an animal's mental and physician state and the state of his emotions. Often, though, this is not something they can explain to their clients. Yet several veterinarians have taken my animal communication courses, and I have been pleasantly surprised by their increased intuition, sensitivity, and perception. Perhaps in the future, taking these course will become common practice."

----------------------------------------------

"As I have mentioned here, I have often noticed that we can attract an animal who has a particular problem, which reflects an emotional difficulty we are experiencing."

-------------------------------------------

"If an animal introduces himself to us with a certain problem, it is in order to reveal something to us until we come to identify our own difficulties. Sometimes we fail to understand, and in these instances, the animal's problem continues. Other times the problem can be repeated by another animal present in our life. We should always look inside ourselves and monitor what is happening within. The outside world reflects our inner world. Of course, animals also have their own lives that they lead for themselves"

----------------------------------------------

"Sometimes, through communication, I enter the heart of families that are so sad, so overburdened, and have so many troubles to settle -- it is as if a thick black cloud envelops their houses. Such a situation breaks my heart, but it was as if I was not given the right to touch it. When I have such a circumstance -- when I do not have the right to interfere -- the animals involved are always my main concern. I would like to wave a magic wand and so lighten such situations, but I have not been given this gift. It is hard to see such suffering and be unable to do anything to alleviate it. I feel utterly powerless, but I often must leave life as it is.

Perhaps is is a question of destiny. I have also met animals who are so sick that I wonder how they have been able to survive so long. A marvelous veterinarian named Corinne, whom I met in France and whom I love very much, told me one days: "It is incredible how much pain they can tolerate and how they just hold on!" Sometimes animals are complete wrecks -- half in their body and half outside of it. They cling to life not for their own sake, but because their human guardian is not ready for them to leave. In the wild they would have left long ago."

And yes, from what I understand, dogs feel more safe and secure knowing someone is in charge and they have a strong person to look up to or follow - what Ceasar Milan calls the "Pack Leader". It should be the owner of the dog or else the dog will feel they have to be the one to do so, and take charge and that's not always good. When the dog doesnt feel they have a pack leader, the feel insecure and anxious and can lead to bad behavior or aggression.

I know my dog feels safer and less inclined to lash out at people, knowing I am the leader and have situations under control and that she doesnt have to be the one to protect us from every little thing.
