New Holistic
Paradigms-Animal Communication
Introduction by Russell Louie
Our mission at Optimum Choices is:
To educate others on their holistic options for
people and pets and
to elevate their holistic experience to the next level.
To further our goal, we write a monthly,
educational, holistic e-newsletter and a regular column in the local
Dogs & Cats
Colorado Style magazine entitled Holistic Pet Resource.
We also are a regular guest on KKNW's radio show (1150 AM, Seattle)
Talk With Your Animals
by Joy Turner and Internet radio show
Wendy's Animal Talk
with Wendy Nan Rees. This month we would like to introduce you to
another (new) holistic paradigm as well as acquaint you with one of our
staff.
As Optimum Choices has grown to become the
largest independent e-tailer, distributor and reseller (to pet stores
and vets) of BioPreparation in the world, we have had to expand our
staff to handle all the demand. Our first priority was to find someone
who had the same compassion for animals that we do. Our second
priorities were to find someone who had an interest in holistic health
and could provide the superior customer service we strive to give all
our customers. Lani Weaver has been at Optimum Choices since September
2008 and those of you who have had interaction with her I am sure will
agree, she meets all the above qualification superbly. The following
article was written by Lani, on her experiences with losing one of her
pets (which I am sure some of us can relate to). This article will
introduce a new holistic paradigm I hope you will someday take advantage
of to avoid all the anxiety she went through.
My Lost Pet
By Lani Weaver
Onyx came into my life in 2004, a tiny,
scrawny black kitten who had been literally thrown away in a
 dumpster.
Onyx disappeared from my life on June 14, 2009, when somehow our back
door was left unlatched. Three of our cats got out. We found two
immediately, but one ... disappeared. That was my Onyx, and I grieved
and grieved over him.
We searched. Our neighbors searched. One neighbor set his hunting dogs
on the trail but they lost it not far from the house. We put up signs. I
asked random strangers I passed on the road or saw at the gas station. I
lived on Craigslist, sometimes checking it three times a day.
Nothing.
Russell suggested that I contact an
animal communicator
immediately, and even gave me the names of several, but I didn’t do it.
I wonder now, why didn’t I? My heart never could accept that Onyx was
gone, even though my head knew that he was probably dinner for some wild
animal that same night (we live in the Colorado mountains); a
communicator could have given me some closure at the very least. As it
turns out, a communicator could have given me more than that.
It had been almost five months when I opened Craigslist one day
and there it is again: FOUND: Black Cat. The location is far from our
home in the mountains, but I e-mailed anyway, it's habit. And I get an
e-mail back; everything I've said matches, including the timing when
this cat showed up in the poster’s neighborhood. She has been feeding it
and finally coaxed it to her, so now she’s posting about it. Multiple
emails are exchanged, and I drive down our mountain that night
completely prepared for it to be another false alarm.
It was Onyx. How did he get some 30 miles from home, from the mountains
to a suburban
 housing area? How did he, a pampered, fat, spoiled black
housecat, survive for almost 5 months on his own? Who knows, but he did.
He's different now; he's skinnier, he's all muscle and no flab, he's
afraid of things he wasn't afraid of before including our other cats, he
has some scars. But he sleeps with me every night again, he nibbles my
toes again, he follows me around purring and being Onyx Underfoot,
wanting to be with me every waking moment.
If I had contacted an animal communicator at the beginning, maybe I
would have had some direction for my search and he would have been home
earlier. At the very least, I would have known that he was alive and
that someone, my Craigslist Angel, was feeding him and cared about him.
If you lose a pet, there are people out there who can help; who can at
the least give you closure, and at the best, possibly help you recover
your beloved companion. Don't throw that chance away.
Editor: We highly recommend microchipping all
your pets, even if they are indoor-only pets. If you have a lost pet or another problem (e.g.,
health issue, behavioral) you do not know how to solve, contact
Optimum Choices to make sure you have investigated all your holistic
options.
