Your Path With Your Animal
Five sentences on a signpost bring me peace. Each one relates to what I experience with animals and their people.
On this photo stands a signpost with five signs pointing in different directions. Each one carries a sentence that brings me peace. Today I walk through them with you, because they fit my work beautifully.
Dream big.
Every journey of support begins with a wish. Maybe you wish that your dog would walk calmly through everyday life again, or that your cat would trust you completely. Allow yourself to carry that picture inside you. A dream is often where the first step begins.
Believe in yourself.
Your animal senses how you think about yourself. When you trust yourself, you give them support and security. I experience this again and again when I cover holidays at a dog daycare and pick up the dogs from their people. Some are so wound up that you can hardly put a collar on them. When I stay calm and know what I want, they become calmer with me. Often there is insecurity behind it, because the dog doesn't know what is expected of them. You are allowed to learn step by step and take all the time you need.
Stay positive.
Difficult days are part of life. On such days, remind yourself of what is already going well, and your heart will feel lighter. A cat suddenly stopped using her litter box, and her people didn't know what to do anymore. I talked with her and passed on what she had wished for. Her people followed her wishes, and since then she uses her litter box again. I am convinced that a lot can change when we stay patient and listen.
Enjoy the moment.
Animals live in the now. A walk, a purr on your lap or a peaceful look, and they are completely there. With my Popsy, I experienced how much peace and love lies in such small moments. We can really learn from our animals how beautiful the now can be. You can read more about her in my blog post Popsy, My Soul Dog.
Be happy.
When you allow yourself to be happy, it does your animal good too. You are a team, and you share your joy with each other.
Your path. Your life. Your decision. If you would like support for you and your animal along the way, I am glad to be there for you. I wish you lots of trust, patience and love.
