When pets approach the end of their earthly journey, their desires may seem surprisingly simple. People often seek my guidance when their beloved pets are nearing this transition. They hope to share heartfelt messages and understand their pets' final wishes. It's a profound privilege to facilitate these conversations. Remarkably, what these animals desire most is to spend quiet, reflective moments with their humans, cherishing the bond they've shared. This preference mirrors the straightforward, unadorned way animals communicate. For those immersed in the hustle of life, it might be hard to grasp that cows leisurely grazing aren't engaged in deep conversations. They simply enjoy each other's company, basking in the sun, or casually exploring their surroundings. Their demeanor is serene, their spirits fully engaged in the present. This holds true for a flock of chickens or ducks as well. They might seem busily clucking away, but they're primarily relishing their time together, interspersed with moments of discovery and awe. Observing the serene presence of animals in the here and now has been an enlightening lesson for me. It teaches the importance of finding joy and significance in the moment. This lesson was especially poignant through Winnie, a loyal Labrador retriever. She had sniffed all the smells. The Beach, City, Country, and more. She was ready to cross the bridge to endless grassy fields and new sniffs. She was fur-ever grateful for her family.
