Pat scheduled a traveling vet to euthanize
Peanut at home because he wanted her
to be in a familiar place surrounded by
her loved ones as she passed away. That
morning, before the vet arrived, Pat and his
family took Peanut for one last outing to one
of her favorite hangouts, Belle View Marina.
My husband Charlie, our two dogs, and I
met them there.
Peanut was too weak to scamper around
like she used to. Pat placed her in a kiddy
wagon and tucked a warm blanket over her
body to shield her from the chilly rain that
fell. The weather matched our mood. We
tromped along her favorite nature path, and
I swore I noticed Peanut smiling. Despite
her discomfort, she was happy.
Before long, it was time to return to Pat’s home
in advance of the vet’s arrival. I spent time with
Peanut and explained why she felt so lousy. I
told her what to expect once she received the
injection: leaving her body would be as easy
as stepping out of a car. She understood.
Pat placed Peanut on the couch, one of her
favorite spots. She twitched and scooted,
trying without success to get comfortable. I
performed energy healing for her, and within
fifteen minutes, she was resting peacefully.
The vet arrived and prepared the injection.
I sat near Peanut and called into my mind a
vision of my two dogs Eddy and Mitsubishi,
both of whom had passed away. I asked
them to welcome Peanut into the afterlife.
They were eager to help!
Peanut lay quietly on the couch with Pat on
one side of her. The vet administered the
drugs. Time passed. I felt like I was holding
my breath.
I looked at Pat and met his gaze. “Did you
feel that?”
He nodded. We had felt Peanut’s soul release
as her body faded to stillness. Through our
grief, a sense of peace settled on us. The
Peanut we cherished had left us.
Thankfully, she wasn’t completely gone. I’m
able to tap into her energy and know that
she’s happy and pain-free in the afterlife.
She checks in regularly on Pat and his
family—and, because of my abilities, I get to
check in with her whenever I like.
Of all the work I do in the realm of animal
communication, helping pets to pass from this
life to the next peacefully is one area where I
get as much as I give. Sure, it’s heart-rending
work, but the release and peace that comes
with lovingly supporting both a pet and her
family are unlike anything else.
If you have or know of someone who has
an elderly or ill pet, who may be considering
euthanasia, please reach out or connect us.
I can ease your burden and give comfort in
a unique way.

searching for clues as to whether or not there
was a strong life force, which would indicate
that, no matter the prognosis, Peanut had
fight left in her. Sadly, Peanut’s life force was
weak, and the image of a ghost town came
into my mind. It was time to say goodbye.
