I’m so excited to be back with you at the tail end of 2024! My tree is set up, the lights are twinkling reminding me to focus on all the good in the world and to look for things that bring me joy. My cat tends to have a little too much fun with the ornaments, and the dog's tail has hit a few home runs with the lower decorations, but it’s all part of the holiday fun. I put the call out on my Sara Moore Enlightened Horizons Facebook page for questions, and here’s what some of your dogs had to say. Just a reminder, a psychic reading is never a replacement for licensed veterinary care.
Patti A. asked about Tobler, a chocolate Lab and Zinnia, a yellow Lab, both of whom are in heaven. “Were you scared at your passing, and did you think we gave up on you?” First of all, I’m a sucker for Labs, so this one tugs at my heart. Tobler wasn’t afraid at all, and as he was passing, he felt very out of his body. This wasn’t because of any medications he was given either. He feels like his energy was kind of swimming in his body looking for the exit. I’ve never had a dog phrase it that way, and your husband did an amazing job telling the dog it was ok to go. Zinnia had no fear at all and showed me a gazelle jumping over a fence, meaning she took a giant playful leap to the other side and had zero regrets or worries. I actually hear your grandmother on your mother’s side saying she arrived “footloose and fancy free!” I love that. Zinnia still comes around to visit, but Tobler is sitting (being a good boy) waiting for your arrival. As much as I know you want to see him, it’s still many, many years away.
Janet S. asked about Abby, a black and brown dog. “I want to know if she’s still ok with her quality of life since her arthritis is worsening. Is there anything else she wants us to try to help her feel better?” I think she’s actually hanging in there at the moment. Her left hip feels achy to me, more on the outside and lower, but it’s a constant ache versus a sharp shooting one. This feels more tolerable to her, and she says it’s like having a house full of kids. After a while you don’t even notice the noise. If I ask her what could help, I don’t hear anything about medications and it feels like her body is maxed out on what it can tolerate without compromising her kidneys. I’m not a vet, but that’s what I’m hearing. Cold is better than hot, so if she starts sleeping on the floor next to her bed, that’s why. I actually think that she’ll do better this winter than she did this summer.
Before I go, I want to say that I love doing readings this time of year because even if you don’t ask what your dogs want for the holidays, they tend to offer unsolicited suggestions. So many of your pups have preferences on what kind of stocking they want, which stuffie they prefer, and even what treats they want to celebrate with. They may show me very specific collar styles and patterns, which totally fascinates me. I was at a dog show years ago in Scarborough, Maine and two very skeptical women asked what the dog wanted. I was shown a sky-blue collar with lobsters in a very specific pattern. They joked that I must be in cahoots with the vendors around me, but none of them had it. They went to a local store and came back to apologize for thinking I was making it up. Apparently, they went in, saw the exact collar I had described, and the dog went nuts. Then to further test it, they had an employee hold up that one and a random one, and the dog almost knocked her to the ground jumping for the lobsters. This job is a wild ride, but absolutely fascinating for me! Happy holidays to you and yours and start thinking about what intentions you will be setting for the new year.
