ANIMALS ARE AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By Alicia Rocco
The saddest day of my life last year was losing my second pet 2 days before Christmas, 2009. The happiest day of my life was finding my next pet in December of 2010.
I received a phone call from my sister-in-law begging me to take her best friends pet because they were losing their home and he did not have a place to go. I didn’t feel I was completely ready to replace my pets and it took 3 days for me to decide. I said I would take him and if it didn’t work I would find him a good home.
So Henri arrived, an 8 year old Bichon. When his owner went out the door he sat by the door for 3 hours waiting for her to come back. I kept talking to him and I gave him Children’s Happy Potion right away for abandonment. It took 3 doses, one an hour and he came into our living room and jumped up on the couch beside me. I slowly allowed him to get use to us and his surroundings. I continued to put Children’s Happy Potion in his water and food daily for a couple of weeks.
I had been told and taken notice he had been somewhat abused by different small things that had happened in response to our different movements. They said the man in the house didn’t really like him so it took him a while to go near my husband. This happened by starting him on Animal Restore.
He had been left alone in a room for 12 or more hours at a time, so he really clings to us because we are home all the time. He also begs to go with us all the time in the car. He really has been an excellent traveler.
We have started to work on having him staying at home and not go with us for an hour or so at a time. Here I have started using the Dog Essence for separation and loneliness.
All things said we are into our 8th week of our new pet and have the most amazing story to show you how they understand when you talk to them and know you want to help and care for them.
In my conversation with Henri I would tell him we have rules we live by and he would always have a good home and no one would hurt him but it was important we follow rules. He would have very healthy food, herbs, essences, exercise, and he needed to be in bed by 10 for we are up by 6.
One evening I had gone downstairs to watch TV so my husband could watch the game on his TV. Well I feel asleep and my husband said Henri went into the bedroom and got on the bed and barked. He went in and turned the light on and said I don’t know what you want. So he jumped off the bed and back into the living room they went. He went back into the bedroom and jumped up on the bed and barked again. So my husband said “Go find Mom and tell her”. He jumped off the bed and came downstairs. Now I was sound asleep on the couch and he ever so gently got up on the couch, crawled up my body and used his paw and touched my check. I woke up and said “What’s wrong Henri” I looked at the clock and said, “Oh, it’s time for bed” and he jumped off the couch and off to bed he went. So I think this dog can tell time as well.
One of the things he was doing was peeing on things once in a while and I was aware this was a problem he was having before he came here and there had to be a reason. So I talked to him about that and gave him Urinary Essence. My husband would guide him off the porch to urinate and he did learn to do that so my challenge was in the house. We made sure he went out every 3 to 4 hours and he has really done very well with changing that habit. I feel the essence has helped him overcome feeling guilty and pissed off about his life and I haven’t seen any pee for quite a while.
All in all he is one happy dog and we are happy dog owners again.

Here is a story I received:
A man and his dog were walking along a road. The man was enjoying the scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead.
He remembered dying, and that the dog walking beside him had been dead for years. He wondered where the road was leading them.
After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along one side of the road. It looked like fine marble… At the top of a long hill, it was broken by a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight.
When he was standing before it he saw a magnificent gate in the arch that looked like mother-of-pearl, and the street that led to the gate looked like pure gold. He and the dog walked toward the gate, and as he got closer, he saw a man at a desk to one side.
When he was close enough, he called out, ‘Excuse me, where are we?’
‘This is Heaven, sir,’ the man answered.. ‘Wow! Would you happen to have some water?’ the man asked.
Of course, sir. Come right in, and I’ll have some ice water brought right up. ‘The man gestured, and the gate began to open.
‘Can my friend,’ gesturing toward his dog, ‘come in, too?’ the traveler asked.
‘I’m sorry, sir, but we don’t accept pets.’
The man thought a moment and then turned back toward the road and continued the way he had been going with his dog.
After another long walk, and at the top of another long hill, he came to a dirt road leading through a farm gate that looked as if it had never been closed. There was no fence.
As he approached the gate, he saw a man inside, leaning against a tree and reading a book.
‘Excuse me!’ he called to the man. ‘Do you have any water?’
‘Yeah, sure, there’s a pump over there, come on in.’
‘How about my friend here?’ the traveler gestured to the dog.
‘There should be a bowl by the pump.’
They went through the gate, and sure enough, there was an old-fashioned hand pump with a bowl beside it.
The traveler filled the water bowl and took a long drink himself, then he gave some to the dog.
When they were full, he and the dog walked back toward the man who was standing by the tree..
‘What do you call this place?’ the traveler asked.
‘This is Heaven,’ he answered.
‘Well, that’s confusing,’ the traveler said. ‘The man down the road said that was Heaven, too.’
‘Oh, you mean the place with the gold street and pearly gates? Nope. That’s hell.’
‘Doesn’t it make you mad for them to use your name like that?’
‘No, we’re just happy that they screen out the folks who would leave their best friends behind.’
