A Lovely Afternoon

Jon Katz www.bedlamfarm.com/blog has been writing lately about the strong spiritual connection he believes exists between women and dogs.

I believe this also and yesterday was definitely a celebration of these connections. Lorna and I hosted a group of wonderful women. I spoke mostly about home-prepared, raw diets for pets. We talked about our own dogs and cats - those that are with us now and those who have passed on, but are still fondly remembered.

Joan told us about Cat's Cradle - a local animal rescue organization. We ate decedent organic-chocolate dipped strawberries and dates and everyone felt my soft, furry Spirit Baskets and Medicine Bags.

Lorna ended with a Body Talk session for all. http://www.personalglow.com/

There was both laughter and a few tears. Animals do that - we connect to them, and through our shared love, we connect to each other. There are two types of people - those who get this and those who don't. It was great to spend an afternoon with a group of kindred spirits.

And now - back to more mundane tasks. Peter's sister and her husband arrive this afternoon. They are coming from Winnipeg and will stay with us for two weeks. I have exactly two hours to clean the house and stock up on groceries.......
