THINK POSITIVE!

Is your animal suffering from some arthritis, or any type of illness or other physical condition? They would love for you to focus on what's good and healthy with them. Tell them how much you love them and how much you enjoy their company. They do not want you to focus on what's 'wrong' with them, and they definitely don't want you to feel sorry for them. Look at dogs who have three legs. They don't care, they're running around just like any other dog. They are happy! They want to be treated like everyone else!

MOMENT BY MOMENT...

Animals are our great teachers about staying in the moment. They are experiencing life moment by moment. They live in the present. What a gift to learn from our furry friends. Have you noticed that you are dwelling on the past or dreading the future? Learn from our animal partners to know that the most important thing to do is to live now, focusing our attention on the beautiful moments in our daily life.

You can even ask your pet for help to stay in the moment. Just say, 'Max,(or whatever your pets' name is).. please help me stay in the moment like you', and then thank them. They will LOVE that you've asked them for assistance and they are more than ready to assist you. Trust that they will send you the necessary energy to honor your request.

Life is so much easier when we stay in the present and eliminate any fear about our past and/or futures. Let our animal partners help us.
