Gretchen Featured In Article In HuffPo About Separation Anxiety In Dogs

Hello, animal lovers.  I hope you are having a most excellent almost-summer.  So, far my communications requesting mosquitos to stop biting me have had no effect, but since that's pretty much what they do to survive, I didn't expect results.  I guess one price to pay for getting on well with animals is that sometimes the ones that bite are especially attracted to you!

Back on topic, I wanted to let you to know that I have been featured in an article in The Huffington Post called

Separation Anxiety in Dogs: Can You Teach an Old Dog New Tricks?  I enjoyed talking with the author and her anxious dog, Rapunzel, and giving them some tips to help with the anxious barking and urination.  In my experience with anxious animals, it often takes not just communication, but consistency and practice with new training methods and supplements to encourage relaxation and openness.  I'm sending Reiki and best wishes to Rapunzel and her human "mom" for continued improvement.

I hope you enjoy the article, and feel free to comment, share it, or ask me questions about the topic. 

In Memoriam: Maya McLendon-Kunz, 1997-2010

Maya was our beloved queen cat.  She belonged to my partner from kittenhood, then adopted me at age 3 or 4 in 2000.  She was always completely herself: demanding, beautiful, proud, wise, confident and more than a little bit snarky.  Over the years we became best friends, and she took a great part in teaching me, and others, how to communicate with animals.  For several years, she also had her own highly opinionated advice column on my site.

I'm excited to share that I've recently completed an interview with Floppycats.com. Floppycats.com is dedicated to Ragdoll cats and general cat health care and well being. It provides the most accurate, up-to-date and knowledgeable Ragdoll Cat Info, or the floppy cat.

In this interview, you can find out about how I started as an animal communicator, how I practice, and what I think of issues such as why animal communication is valuable, and why veterinarians should consider using animal communication as one of their tools.

I hope you enjoy the interview, and check out Floppycats.com for articles on cat care, product reviews and even cat product giveaways.
