Love of Dogs:
I have a great love of dogs and have had many profound, deeply loving experiences with them. I have a special interest in animal communication and telepathic communication with dogs and the unconditional love they give us, and also in animal assisted therapy and the incredible service work dogs do.
You can read below, about some very special dogs...
Jack:
Jack was a Labrador Retriever cross and a great gift. We fostered Jack in late 2022 and were blessed to adopt him in March 2023. He was around 13 years old and was a very special dog.
When we first met Jack, I felt like he had been waiting for us to come and that I had known and loved him forever. Jack was a loving and beautiful companion. He discovered a love of coming to cafes and yes, he was hoping for some food!
Sadly his time in physical form with us was short, but he is very much in my heart and I continue to feel his beautiful presence.
Jack was such a precious gift...

Jewel Bella:
Jewel Bella was a Cocker Spaniel and she was my first dog as an adult. In 1999 I fell in love with her when I saw her in a pet shop. I spotted her across the room with her 2 brothers. I had no intention of getting a dog but I picked her up and she snuggled into my heart as though she had been there forever...
I didn't know much about dogs back then and read that buying a puppy from a pet shop wasn't a good thing and that they would often have health issues. I went back and forth to see Jewel Bella in the pet shop over a number of weeks as I read and learnt more about dogs. I visited breeders who had puppies that looked like Jewel Bella but I had fallen in love with her.
Jewel Bella used to spend many hours alongside me while I wrote. At times when I was doing everything but write, she would sit in my study doorway and insistently bark - nothing could distract her...until I came in and wrote! She would lie on the rug next to me, sleeping peacefully.
Jewel Bella was the greatest gift of love and joy and taught me so much about unconditional love and acceptance. She was such a loving, courageous and beautiful dog who loved everybody.

Lawsy:
Lawsy, our gorgeous boy was a labrador cross, who was with us for 7 years. He was a rescue dog from the Animal Protection Society who we fostered and then adopted. Lawsy was scared of so much in the outside world when he came to us.
We used to take turns sitting up with him in the night with the TV turned up loud, feeding him treats when there was thunder, as he was so scared and nothing else helped!
Lawsy was such a beautiful boy and was incredibly gentle and loving with everyone. He became so empathic and highly attuned and always knew who needed love and support...and he had a deep sensitivity and connection with babies. Lawsy was such a specail boy with an enormous heart.
