We have this in abundance in our home. I feel very lucky and blessed to have a man that loves me unconditionally and fur kids that do to! I feel the same about all of them.

What is your take on this quote?

This morning I did something hard, I opened the metal box my former familiar’s ashes came in, in 2007 to remove the last of his hair to be put into a clear container. I had just done the same with Dreamer’s hair and nail clippings so I am a little melancholy as I type this. My Boots was gotten as a family dog in August 1992 but it was apparent from the first day I met him he and I had a special bond. He crossed the rainbow bridge in November 2007 after having multiple grand and petti mal seizures over a six hour period. Was the decision super hard to assist him into eternal sleep? Hell, yes it was. At the time I was going to school to earn my veterinary assistant certification and as luck or a deity had decided I had just finished the lessons about seizures, so at least I knew what was happening and could make sure he was safe while in one. They started about 5:00 AM and did not stop until his assisted crossing of the bridge was done.

As the human who is in charge of keeping a furry family member fed, plenty of water, going out for bathroom breaks and exercise or keeping a litter box clean it can be a very hard task when it comes time to decide if our furry family members quality of life has gone down hill enough, not as the furry’s mom or dad but looking at it from a clinical distances (I know easier said than done), to assist them into their eternal sleep or not. I had to stand back and look at things through the eyes and brain of an animal medical person and tuck my breaking heart away for a little while to make a decision that was best for them. Yes, with Boots I could have spent a lot of money with a vet specialist and anti-seizure medications but after the third grand mal seizure, there were I think 6 or 8 total, his hearing had gone and he had trouble trying to get up from the floor onto his favorite blanket. He was whimpering as he had always went outside to relive himself that’s what he wanted. So, I picked him up and carried him outside than to my astonishment he got up walked to his favorite bush in the yard and did his things. Immediately afterwards he collapsed on the ground in another grand mal. Now in between the grand mal seizures he was having petit mal ones too. How many? I have no idea as I lost count after about 20. He was about 14 1/2 years old at the time of his crossing, he had come to live with myself, my mom, and children when he was 5 1/2 weeks old.

Boots was loved, well cared for, and played with all his physical life just as Dreamer was. Now I know they are together playing with Dreamer’s mom Gyspy and Dreamer’s pups that went before her. They both come often to visit. I feel Boots talked Dreamer into visiting us so soon after she crossed knowing how much his visits have helped me over the years since his crossing.

The main reason for this post is while we may not want to give up a furry family member when they are old and in pain or even young but injured badly we have to take what they need to be comfortable and have a good quality of life. If the way they have lived their life has been really compromised we need to do the right thing for them and let them go to cross to the other side of the veil. If you tell them or better yet ask them to come visit you after they have crossed the bridge I know for a fact that 9 out of 10 times they will do just that! Humans who have crossed come it they feel like it, if they don’t try another day.

Today our Dreamer has been gone physically from us for a week. Yes, today is a hard one again. I know with time it does not get easier with time it just gets different. Dreamer paid a visit to Big Dawg last Saturday and has been hanging out mostly with our three other fur kids which I know has made her crossing easier on them. We picked her ashes up this past Monday and kept it in the car with us as we worked that day. I had one very short visit in the car Monday when we stopped at a McDonald’s for burgers and fries while out delivering important paperwork to individuals, Big Dawg has been a process server for over a month now and I help keep him and all the paperwork organized. We only had the front two windows down a tiny bit, I was getting ready to put some fries in my mouth when I felt someone breathe on my neck. It could have been my familiar before Cleo and Star, but Boots never really liked McDonald’s french fries whereas Dreamer loved them. I called her by name, put a fry on my shoulder and felt her sniffing it. While humans or animals do not eat food as the living do, I thoroughly believe they can take in the smell and essence of it. When I set the fry on my shoulder Big Dawg asked me, “What in the hell are you doing?” I hadn’t told him Dreamer was in the car with us yet as I was being selfish as it was my first interaction with her since she crossed. When I told him we both had to try to hold back tears. I would be harder to bear this lose if we didn’t have each other, meaning the humans and fur kids.

This is one of the times in my life that being a strong empath is a curse rather than a blessing. I am able to pick up any kind of mammal’s feelings so with all of us trying to get use to a new normal of three live fur kids and one spirit fur kid it has been rough on me as I was picking up everyone in the house emotions. Tuesday morning, I finally had enough of feeling everyone else’s emotions and strength the wards and shield I keep around myself so I can leave my home. This is part of the reason why I took yesterday completely off. The other part was the horrible air quality where we live today and this past week, while it was definitely better here than many other parts of Illinois and the northeastern USA it was still bad for both of us as we have asthma. At least the sir is starting to clear some here!

So, this is how things are going for me today.

How are they going for you?

Well, I had to stopped halfway through Monday’s posts as my mind was running in every direction except on the post I was working on. I had a “oh that’s why” moment as I realized that it has been Dreamer who helped me stay focused on my tasks with WOTC everything. So, the tears started falling and were getting my keyboard damp which is not a good thing. I have been missing her more than I can express but not letting it show too much so I can be here for Big Dawg and help ease his pain from losing his big baby girl. I can only be strong for Big Dawg and our other fur kids for so long today will be looking at and dealing with my own extreme sadness of my Dreamcicle being gone physically from my life. She came to visit Big Dawg very early Saturday morning. I am trying to patiently wait for my own visit from her but I don’t know if it will ever come or not.

Even though my heart is not in it I will go try to finish all the regular daily posts for Monday.

You can always ask your Spirit Guides, ancestors, Animal Spirit Guide or Helper to help you grow flowers!

We are keeping Dreamer as comfortable as we can using manmade medicine and an herbal tea until we take her in on June 22nd to enter her eternal sleep. We are asking for prayers that she crossed here at home before then, so she is in a familiar place surrounded by those who love her both 2 legged and 4 legged. Yes, this is an extremely hard prayer to ask for, but we are doing it because we love her so deeply and want her pain to end.

I Am Pagan Lyrics and Video by Spiral Rhythm

I am pagan, and I’m proud
I am pagan, gonna shout it loud
I am pagan, want the world to know
That I follow the Goddess
and she rocks my soul

Don’t need your bible
I’ve got the wisdom of the crone
Don’t need your heaven
Into this life I’m reborn
No ten commandments
One fills the bill
An’ it harm none, do what you will

Don’t need your churches
The world’s my sacred space
Don’t need your angels
I’ve got fairies in their place
We raise the spirit
Most every night
When we dance the fire
in the pale moonlight

Well you take your path
And I’ll take mine
A little tolerance
And we’ll both be fine
Keep an open mind
It’ll set you free
And Goddess bless,
so mote it be

Are you pagan? Are you proud?
Are you pagan? Then shout it loud!
If you’re pagan,
let the whole world know
That you follow the Goddess
‘cause she rocks your soul

My mantra for the rest of this week!

My life has gone into the express lane and will be here through the weekend. Big Dawg started a new job that he needs me to go with him to teach him the jobs cellphone app. He’s a little bit technically challenged when it comes to smart phones as he just switched from using a flip phone until last fall. Besides riding along with him as he delivers important papers to people all over the county, we live in I also have to print out the paperwork for him as I will not let him near my desktop computer that I use for WOTC, and all things affiliated with it. He’s already crashed it once on me, but I was able to retrieve everything I needed too and get rid of the nasty virus he had inadvertently let in. So, if some of the tomorrow posts show up later than normal it is because I didn’t get up early enough, like today I am 1 1/2 hours behind schedule, to finish them all before, we leave for the day. I will try my absolute best to still get all the regular daily posts up with no pictures. The exceptions will be the rotating daily post, a thought and laugh for todays; those are history until this coming Monday. One last thing I will only be checking WOTC’s School of Witchcraft email until this coming Monday.

So, after my day off yesterday I am having a hard time focusing on work as it is beautiful outside and the temperature is mild. As I was doing the weekly horoscopes I looked to see if there was a weekly horoscope on thehoroscope.co but their wasn’t. I decided to scroll down the page a little way to see what else this website might have on it. Found out they have numerology stuff also. Below the picture of the numbers 1 through 9 I saw “Marriage Numerology Meaning” since our wedding is just 16 days away (eeks I need to get busy on the flowers…tee hee) I decided to see what our marriage number will be. It is a 7 as I was reading the meaning for this number, I was surprised that it fits us to a T.

I believe these numbers will work for anyone in a committed relationship if you have “pledged” yourself to your partner and they to you.

Here is the link and the information for how to figure it out your marriage number Marriage Numerology Meanings.

If you would like to share your number with us and let us know if it fits the two or more of you and your relationship, please put it in a comment below.

Here is the link and the information for how to figure it out your marriage number Marriage Numerology Meanings.

Let’s discover what the day we are married in has to say about our relationships and the way the marriage will unravel. In order to discover which your marriage numerology is you need to extract a single digit number out of your marriage date.

The marriage date is considered to be the first date when the two of you have said yes (for some cultures this refers to the first ceremony, the one in front of the law in which you are released the marriage certificate). You transform the month in a number, from 1 to 12 (1+2) then add the day (for the two digit days you need to add them separately) then the year unfolds just the same.

For instance, if the marriage date is February 29, 2010 it means: 2+2+9+2+0+1+0=16, 1+6=7. So the marriage number for the above example is 7. Below you will find the meanings for all nine numerology numbers.

When the number of your marriage is 1:

This suggests dynamism, enthusiasm and determination. This relationship gathers two powerful personalities that can deal on their own with everything that goes in their couple. Sometimes one of you would try to take charge but will definitely come to an agreement when the other starts persuading. Number 1 is a number of beginnings therefore shows that this marriage has been built on a heated passion that will in time switch to a mutual agreement to leading a responsible life. 1 is also a number of selfishness but in the case of marriage there is no such thing, both partners are there because they wanted to connect their lives and can behave in a mature and loving way.

When the number of your marriage is 2:

It suggests romance and peace. It is characteristic for two individuals that have decided to stay together and are connected through a strong feeling of belonging. Two is a number of the couple so you will probably discover in time that you match just like puzzle pieces as long as you lean on each other and spend as much time together as possible. However, a number 2 marriage might be under the risk of possessiveness and jealousy if the two of you don’t know how to balance your impulses. It’s also important for you to synchronize your activities or even work in the same domain. This marriage is also based on home comfort and you both have the desire to have a house and a big family.

When the number of your marriage is 3:

This number suggests modernism, exuberance and general success. It defines a couple that is sociable and open to new experiences but also relies on the comfort of each other. 3 is for a relationship that is liberal in movement, decision and thought and might represent quite a hard test for some people. If you manage to understand and be honest with yourself and with your partner it will definitely be a marriage in which both of you can grow and follow your paths. So don’t even think of changing any of your partner’s habits. This is a full of live relationship that can surpass many of life’s troubles. Just as 3 is the number of the 3 wishes this marriage can work if the two of you wish for it to work.

When the number of your marriage is 4:

This is the number of the four elements, of the four seasons and suggests stability and practicality. It defines a relationship that is soon to escalate and become serious. This couple is stable and reliable and usually with little chances to break apart. However, they are prone to frustration and to growing apart because of boredom and of not being able to resist to outer temptations. These two form a stable and safe family but should not forget of the feelings that first united them and just remember to be romantic from time to time. This is a marriage in which the two permanently invest in the base of their relationship and are often more interested in practicalities in life.

When the number of your marriage is 5:

This is a number of romance and entertainment. It suggests a marriage built on passion and common interests. It usually gathers complex personalities with a mind of their own that are in a permanent search for adventure and new experiences. It is a partnership between two creative persons that can help each other grow. These two are stubborn, fiery and quick to argue when things don’t go the way they want them to. On the long run this relationship has quite a risk to be under the influence of change and the two should be able to adapt and compromise in order for things to work out. This is also a number suggesting a big family and frequent challenges in family life.

When the number of your marriage is 6:

This is a powerful number that symbolizes equilibrium, love and good health. It is usually a lucky number and indicates mutual powerful feelings. The two persons involved in this marriage are close friends and life partners above all and usually their love develops from a great friendship relationship. These two know how to work together to raise a family and they rarely grow apart as they usually have the same view on how to live life. This marriage is optimistic, practical and usually build on affection and loyalty. This kind of union usually leaves behind a great legacy.

When the number of your marriage is 7:

(Side Note from LCB: This fits Big Dawg and I like a glove!)

This number suggests great attachment and love and it usually defines a couple that feels best when alone or just surrounded by close friends. These two know how to live their love in a protective far away place. This kind of marriage is above all based on intellectual affinity and cooperation. Both of the partners are aware of the great responsibility they have towards their significant other and they usually make sure to be as much supportive as they can. They might have moment in live when they feel stuck but otherwise, the number 7 couple the partners manage to keep their individuality but also build something new together.

When the number of your marriage is 8:

This number suggests wealth, prosperity and loyalty. This is a marriage that is entirely based on mutual affection and understanding that started as a heated passion. These two have complex personalities and a strong intellectual affinity so they usually have similar occupations or work as a team. This is that kind of relationship in which both partners have the same goals and expectations in life so they rarely argue. What these two need to learn is that sometimes they should be a lot more open to the outer world and not only count on their own powers.

When the number of your marriage is 9:

This is a number suggesting generosity, loyalty and romance. This is a marriage based entire on good communication and management of feelings. These two usually pair up quickly and can’t even remember how life was when they were single. They might come from different backgrounds or even cultures but this will only spice up their relationship. A couple like this won’t meet many outer obstacles but might have some difficulties in understanding and working with the need of freedom of one partner. Each of the partners tries to put the happiness of the other above his but there might be some sacrifices needed to get this goal to completion.
