I am so happy to report that Tuesday afternoon my friend
Dr. Dressler got the results for the biopsy he performed
on his dog last week. And it is great news:
It is NOT cancer.
What a relief. I am so touched that hundreds of people
wrote to me and many also left comments on IRememberLove.com
expressing how they were praying for Bjorn and hoping to
hear that the biopsy report would come back as negative.
Those prayers were answered and I must confess to you that
I wasn’t sure what Demian would say when I told him that
so many of you were praying for his dog. (After all, he
is a man of SCIENCE.)
I am delighted he took it the way he did and believes the
prayers may even have helped bring about the positive results.
I videotaped him as soon as he got home and you have got to
see what this veterinarian says about prayer and the whole
process that he went thru with his beloved chow chow.

Reports are coming from England that the oldest dog in the world is Bella, a labrador, who was brought home more than 26 years ago–when she was already 3 years old.
That would make her 29 years old– or over 200 years old!
The Guiness Book of World’s Records is investigating the claim.
What I find really interesting–and what the media is not reporting–is that last week Bella’s owner, David Richardson who himself is 76, thought it was the end for his faithful companion.
Bella became ill and was unable to walk.
Mr. Richardson made an appointment with the vet and prepared a grave in the back yard.
He had a sleepless night and when he awoke he decided to cancel the appointment with the vet. He couldn’t go through with it.
As Richardson reports:
‘I phoned to cancel the vet because I just thought it would be better if Bella died in her sleep. She couldn’t walk, but when I went out and filled in the grave she appeared behind me and was stood there watching.”
Since then Bella has been fine and the vet says Bella’s heart is strong and she is very fit for her age, except for some arthritis in her legs.
To see a picture of Bella, Mr. Richardson and learn what the dog–who only has 2 teeth left–eats, visit the oldest dog in the world.
There are a number of new videos on IRememberLove.com–including a very sweet and touching video of a cemetary for dogs outside Paris that was built in 1899. Over 40,000 beloved animals are buried there. The music and the montage of the video are beatutiful. Here is the link to the Paris dog cemetary video.

I hope your week is going well. Mine is busy so I will keep this short…
I posted an amazing video of a machine that a man built to play fetch with his dachshund. You got to see this ingenuity in action. Watch the video at:
http://tinyurl.com/5tnmst
It is pretty amazing.
Also, I was digging in the crawl space under the steps and I unearthed a video that I made 14 years ago.
Both Maui and I are in it–she is just a puppy and I am quite a few pounds lighter.
It is an instructional video called “You, Too, Can Talk with the Animals” and features Bea Lydecker, the original animal communicator to the stars.
Bea’s star animal clients included Lassie and the thoroughbred race horse Secretariat.
Making the video was a pretty amazing experience 14 years ago and certainly opened up my eyes to the possibility of really connecting and communicating with animals on a non-verbal level.
I am sure that learning animal communication helped me enhance my relationship with Maui, cultivate my dog meditation practice and it also opened me up to do the work I am doing today.
(I also suspect that the animal communication skills I learned back then when I made the video has given me the confidence and opened my heart to the animal kingdom so that I have had the great gift of swimming with wild dolphins over 50 times.)
I am going to see if I can get the video transferred–and if I can maybe even put a clip up on IRememberLove.com for you to see.
Ok, back to work for me…
I hope you take a two-minute break and watch the amazing automatic fetch machine video at:

You got to watch this video: www.irememberlove.com/video/video/show?id=2013722%3AVideo%3A15144
It was sent to me by a member of our DoYouRememberLove/IRememberLove community.
I don’t want to name him, but this past year he has gone thru a number of health challenges and his positive outlook and love for dogs has always helped him get thru them.
That is why this video is especially heart-warming.
Check it out.
I think you will like it as much as I do.
Here is the direct link:

Have a great week.
Warm Aloha,
James

How many times a day do you get an email with a dog story that touches your heart … but you don’t know for sure if it’s * really true *?
I get at least twenty (I’m not kidding).
I hate to pass them on because I don’t like to get forwards, myself. But sometimes they’re just too precious not to share.
Well, I just hit a jackpot idea here, and Molly just followed up on it.
She’s made a discussion forum JUST for email stories that you love about dogs … but aren’t sure “really” happened.
Why shouldn’t we share?
So go to the new discussion forum on I Remember Love right now, and post your own sketchy-history emails that you just love to share.
Molly included one that I received from Tom, about a doggy visitor that just cracked me up.
Go read it now:
www.irememberlove.com/forum/topic/show?id=2013722%3ATopic%3A14701
and then click “start a discussion” and post your own. Just copy and paste from your email into the website.
Mahalo for being part of our community!
PS: There are still “Do You Remember Love?” Dvd’s available at www.doyourememberlove.com/packwisdom/watch-do-you-remember-love-on-dvd/

Some great videos are being posted on IRememberLove.com, but I wanted to call your attention to a very funny one that Dee posted.
It is from the hit TV show Britain’s Got Talent and features the most amazing dog named Gin. You have to check it out.
Here is the direct link to the video:
www.irememberlove.com/video/video/show?id=2013722%3AVideo%3A11122
When you are on IRememberLove.com, watch some of the other videos and I hope you will add a photo or video of your own dog–or one that really moves you and you think the rest of us will enjoy.
It is incredibly easy to post pics and videos on the site. Of course, adding your own stories and joining discussions is also a cinch.
I hope you will take a few minutes today and check out the site. It is a lot of fun.
Ok, on to a totally different subject…
Tomorrow I will be sending you an important email related to dog cancer.
If you have or had or know a dog that has been diagnosed with cancer, I urge you to open up the email. It is really important and I could use your help. Details will come tomorrow (Thursday).
Thanks in advance.
For now, I hope you will go watch the video of Gin at IRememberLove.com.

Talk with you soon.

I am feeling a lot better after a one-week bout with some upper respiratory bug that was going around the island.
That is why I didn’t write last week and why you didn’t see me much on IRememberLove.com. I was sick in bed.
…but Maui too good care of me. She rested along side me and kept me company.
While I was recuperating, I went thru some things and I found a GREAT video I wanted to share with you.
It is from a couple years ago when I went on a book tour to promote “How to Meditate with Your Dog.”
A reporter in San Diego asked me to show her how with her dog. He was so hyper when we started, but as the cameras rolled…the most amazing thing happened.
Go check out the video for yourself.
I posted it on IRememberLove.com. Here is the direct link: Reporter Meditates with Dog on the News!
While you are on the site, I hope you will check out some of the other videos there. I also posted a very funny compilation of TALKING DOGS. I bet you can’t watch it without breaking a smile. Check it out here:
Funny Talking Dogs
Enjoy the videos. Post a comment or two. Be sure to add some of your own pictures–and even a video–if you have one. I love seeing how quickly the community is growing at IRememberLove.com.
While you are there, please feel free to leave me a note and of course, check out our sponsors and advertisers who make it all possible.
Enjoy these videos. I am eager to hear what you think after you watch them.
James
