Yes I have been MIA. Our 17-year old Cookie took a turn for the worse with symptoms that were critical. After discovering the shocking conditions Veterinarians are being forced to work under, I said no way will Cookie or any of my cats be exposed to this horror being inflicted on so many! Pet parents are being forced to be separated from their babies when they are seen by a Vet. They are told to sit in their vehicle while their baby is brought into the Vet office by a tech.
Crowds can flock to Walmart but pet parents are barred from being with their babies in a very scary circumstance. Excuse me? What is wrong here? IMO
Backed up hard against a brick wall, my husband and I despite our fears we could not do the “impossible”, went to work. We did so blind. We researched. I listened to my Inner Guidance. A treatment plan was created, one that we had no idea would work, yet hoped it would. Our goal was to stop or decrease Cookie’s symptoms and to immediately address her pain issue.
When circumstances seem to be the darkest with seemingly no way out, do not give up. Dig deep. Use your untapped energy within you and fly on what you do know, not knowing if what you are doing will lead you to light but do it anyways.
For days we worked around the clock, not stopping even though both of us were dropping in exhaustion. When we saw her symptoms remain, last Thursday I made the dreaded calls to the parties who would help us bring Cookie’s suffering to an end.
That day both hubby and I cried hard. Even then, we did not quit as I kept up with her treatment regimen. Night approached and I fell into bed with the thought tomorrow will be my last with my Cookie. Heartbreak! Despite my exhaustion I had trouble sleeping until finally I passed out around midnight. The next thing I know Hubby is waking me up at 3am bubbling with excitement almost shouting,
Cookie caught a mousie! And her voice sounds almost normal.
Oh yes that is a big deal. Cookie is the Queen Mouser and every day for years she has hunted those [toy] mice. While the new onset of symptoms erupted, she did not catch any mice. To know she caught a mouse brought with it such relief that I immediately fell into a dead sleep.
I called off all arrangements to end Cookie’s life the following morning. As of this writing, Cookie is looking much improved while Hubby and I still assess and tweak her treatment plan accordingly. One of the items on that treatment plan is I am feeding her 3 times a day. As long as she is looking well and we are able to keep her comfortable and happy, life goes on as usual in this home.
Did we quit? No. Did we expose Cookie to the nightmare Vet Hospitals have become? No. We took power ourselves and applied what we do know, [over 20 years of knowledge with experience], and went full out to do everything we could for Cookie in her time of need. What began as a nightmare blossomed into a Blessing, one that I still am saying, “Pinch me.” If we had given up, Cookie would not be here with us today. We are still analyzing and figuring the situation out up until today so we can further help our baby.
One of the morals of this story: NEVER GIVE UP! NO MATTER WHAT!

I pray for your fur-kids’ sake that they do not have to be brought into a Vet’s office, Dan. I was completely shocked knowing what is now going on. You have no idea how grateful I am that Hubby and I have worked so hard over many years to address our “kids” needs. Just today Hubby found a Homeopathic Remedy that hopefully will address Cookie’s tongue paralysis and other issues. This mission is ongoing.

If there is anything about me, Mark, yes I do follow my heart. I’ve been with Cookie all day today after giving her a new Homeopathic remedy. Not sure of anything right now, only that we did stop the critical symptoms. Where things go from here, is anyone’s guess. She’s been through so much and the horrible drooling has left her fur so dirty. If it wouldn’t stress her out so much I would give her a bath but that is not an option. One day a time. That’s it. Thank you, dear friend, for your concern and your well wishes. Bless you! xo

Denise, I sit here stunned by your words. Whether you know it or not, you are connecting into the higher frequency energy that is now coming in, which some have coined as 5D. How you actually thought about Cookie is mind blowing for as far as I know, I haven’t talked about her in quite some time. I am SO touched and SO honored that you are sending LOVE. Thank you from the bottom of both of our hearts!! This journey has been so hard, so terrifying especially knowing we have the balance of life and death in our hands. The more research Hubby does, the more we realize Cookie was (possibly) misdiagnosed 1.5 years ago and instead of having an aggressive cancer she has a condition called vascular fibrosis (we think) that causes fatty tumors and has complications with the liver. We have yet to tie in why her tongue is improperly working but we have HOPE that with the Homeopathy that she is being given today, her tongue will begin to work correctly. God bless you! And I mean that!! Much love to you! BIG (((HUGS)))!!! xoxoxo

Sometimes we know our fur babies better than the vets. I had a vet for awhile years ago that I found out was crooked, first I found out on my own by taking my dog in their and they scammed me right as I was standing there and I knew something was up. The next year they went out of business, others discovered the same thing. They were pretending to give shots, but did not actually do it and charged way to much for the service. People do horrible things just for money, money will not buy you happiness.
I have since found a vet who is really good. But I don’t go there unless an emergency. I know my dogs pretty well.

Sandra, the nightmare stories I could tell you about Vets we’ve suffered ….. shocks the soul to realize that these people who are supposed to help our babies are in reality not doing so, and in fact, causing harm. If I spoke about those people, my anger would return so I will not. My babies mean everything to me …. they are family! As for the conditions Vets are being forced to operate under those are inhumane and make NO sense whatsoever. The amount of terrorism being caused by officials is sickening. The tech that I spoke to confidently told me they were all fed up by the restrictions and they truly do not like what they are being forced to do. At my next hair appt where they do not force me to wear a mask due to my medical condition, I will be asking around for recommendations for Vets who have maintained their humanity regardless of what our dictator is mandating.
We are like you. We do not go to a Vet unless it is absolutely necessary. We have taught ourselves how to care for our babies. Yes we do know our babies much better then any Vet, hands down. May you have a truly blessed day today, Sandra. Much love to you!! xo

Donna, it’s day by day. Yes we got the terrible drooling to stop but discovered her tongue is not working properly. That is what caused the drooling in the first place. Again we’ve gone to work giving her another Homeopathic Remedy today addressing her tongue issue and others as well. I’m not sure if these are her last days or if she will really turn around. I’ve been with Cookie all day long. I wouldn’t do things any differently. I know what it is like not to be loved by parents and that will not ever happen to my kids. I have so much to do in my gardens but between my mega fatigue and Cookie, they are going to wait until things get a bit smoother. Hope you and yours are doing well in UK. Count your blessings you are not in the states. For tyrants to force Vets to do what they are is criminal and for Vets to follow what these tyrants are telling them to do is even more so. I’m so disgusted with humankind in general. I’ve been following the “Underground Light” via word of mouth giving my attention, energy and money to those people who have not lost their souls to the devils called government and money. I am confident I will be led to another Vet who has not lost his or her humanity and is refusing to follow asinine orders that make zero sense. Vet visits are SO stressful for our animals and to separate them from their parents is SO WRONG! Stay strong and keep shining brightly!! Much love to you!! xo

We are taking it day by day, Eliza. My goal is to consult with a Vet I trust (our in-home euthanasia Vet) to run by her the symptoms Cookie is displaying. If there is any chance of imminent stroke or further deterioration, you know darn well what I will do. Tough very tough place to be in. Cookie is the second Mama in this house and is very very emotionally attached to me. I just require answers, REAL ones, to decide what next to do. I no longer trust our Vet due to how she is treating animals and pet parents right now all because the tyrant in Albany is demanding sole right to decisions he has no right to be making. I’m hoping to talk to our in-home Vet tomorrow. And feeding Cookie …. she is such a good girl. It breaks my heart to see her like this. Accepting what is perhaps is toughest for me at times like this. I know we could write a book yet we don’t have the “official” credentials. Homeopathy for example is a huge and very complex science and even with over 20 years of experience and knowledge, we still in our own right are not able to teach. We still are learning.
