Recently I learned of Maureen Hunter and her blog, Esdeer, Giving comfort, hope, and inspiration…stepping through grief. She left a comment on one of my blog posts, which led me to finding out who she was. I love when that happens!
Maureen offers coaching sessions for grief, as well as programs to help those grieving the loss of their beloved ones.
She has a section on her blog titled Animal Healing, which of course, intrigued me. I loved her post titled, “Doggies Words of Wisdom for Healing.” I asked for her permission to reprint for you, my readers. Permission granted, so please enjoy. Thank you, Maureen!
- If someone you love is hurting, stay loyal and hang around a bit
- Trust me, there’s not a lot that can’t be fixed by a bit of licking and an affectionate nuzzle
- Enjoy the simple things each day… like sticking your head out the car window
- Don’t be afraid to ask for what you want, even if you have to bark loudly
- Never say no to an outing, even if you don’t know where you’ll end up
- Trust your intuition- you can tell alot about others by how they smell
- If you need some space… growl softly
- The restorative power of a nap is sorely underestimated
- Sometimes I love you, sounds like Arrrrowwwoowww
- If no one is paying attention to you, fart quietly in their direction- you need all the help you can get
- If all else fails, wag your tail!
