I just had a wonderful visit from my brother-in-law and I want to tell you a story about how his 14-month-old son Jackson won Maui’s heart …

… but that has to wait for tomorrow, because today we have some last-minute Christmas business:

I am really looking forward to meditating live on the phone and internet with Maui and all of you who took advantage of the $5 Holiday Special this Sunday, Christmas Eve Eve.

The energy of a bunch of us dog lovers meditating together and setting our intentions for the holiday will be a truly magical experience.

If you have already ordered your $5 books, you will receive a separate email about how to get to the live webcast (it’s free–and you can listen online, or you can dial in and participate via phone).

If you have not yet ordered your books, the sale is still on. You won’t get your books in time for Christmas Day, but you WILL get invited to Sunday’s live group dog meditation.

Maui wants to meet your dog!

If you order now, you will get your books before the New Year when many people make or renew a commitment to calm down, take better care of themselves and center with a regular meditation practice. (It’s never too late to give that gift.)

Tomorrow I’ll post a message about Jackson and Maui and their sweet little interaction.

(It was hard for Maui to have another little person around at first, but Jackson is a true Dog Whisperer … just like his Aunt Molly

Here is the link to Alecia’s class (starts on Monday, November 19!)

Alecia and I are having another free teleconference this coming Friday to talk about pet communication, pet loss, and nutrition for your pet.

http://www.petconversation.com

Why?

Two reasons.

Reason #1:
Enough of you missed the first call last Thursday and wrote in to ask for another … let’s say you were “begging” for it like Maui begs for chicken.

Reason #2:
The webcast technology cut off the last 15 minutes of the call for those listening online …

… don’t worry, I figured out what went wrong and it won’t happen again.

But I still “owe you” this call.

So please join us this Friday night at 6pm PST / 9pm EST to hear Alecia and me talk about all things pet.

Love,

James

Slots are filling up quickly, and we’re really excited about it. (I say we because I’m moderating for her!)

My favorite little doggie really tested my patience yesterday.

Tuesday, November 6, was Maui’s birthday. Molly and I told her the night before that she could have “anything she wanted” on her birthday. She took us seriously.

Here’s what happened.

Maui woke up at 5am with a full bladder and woke me to go out. After her business we crawled back into bed and I fell back asleep almost immediately. But Molly’s peaceful slumber was disturbed.

Maui licked her face until Molly woke up, then whined. Molly thought “She wants breakfast.”

And since it was her birthday, Molly got up early to feed my little doggie.

She mixed her supplements, chicken, rice, veggies, a little cottage cheese, and a nice little gravy together in a bowl. She replaced her stale water with fresh cold water. She watched as Maui feasted.

Wide awake now, Molly decided to meditate. Maui declined to join her, as she was busy sniffing around for the last bits of her breakfast.

When she emerged from the silence, Molly came out to the kitchen to join me in making our breakfast. We puttered around, but Maui kept distracting us with her rather manic scratching at her “nest” of pillows on the floor in the corner.

Molly went over and cuddled her, giving her a little massage to calm her down. Maui did. She rolled over onto her back for a belly rub.

Then she sprawled on her side and sighed deeply before dropping into a doze. Molly said

“She feels great after that breakfast … she just needed to work off some excess energy.”

I said “She didn’t love her breakfast, because there wasn’t any chicken!”

(A meal without chicken is not a full meal, according to my dog.)

Molly looked at me and said “Did you feed her breakfast?”

I said yes, I had. Molly said “So did I.”

I told Molly that Maui had come into the bedroom and barked at me until I woke up, with a bark that definitely means “I’m hungry! Feed me!”

When I got out of bed, I saw that Molly was meditating, and assumed that she had not fed the dog yet.

So I made her a scrambled egg, rice, and veggies. I gave her supplements and mixed everything with a nice little gravy.

And Maui ate every single mouthful. Every mouthful of her second breakfast.

Molly shook her head and murmured “Audacious behavior.” We both turned to look at our very full, very content dog.

We told her she could have anything she wanted on her birthday. Apparently she wanted two breakfasts.

Now is there any doubt in your mind that Maui can “communicate” with us?

To celebrate my smart, if slightly sneaky, dog, I’m dedicating tomorrow’s free call with Alecia Evans to honor Maui’s birthday.

I think I know what Maui would say to that:

“Very nice gesture, dad. Now can I have some more chicken?”

Ha!!

I love my dog.

Can’t wait to “hear” you tomorrow, Thursday, at 6pm Pacific for my conversation with Alecia. I know we have a lot to learn from our animals, and Alecia’s skill at accessing their “minds” is mind-blowing.

Hope you get your equivalent of two breakfasts today!

Love,
James
