For the animal....

…..shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours, they move finished and complete, gifted with the extension of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings: they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth."

~Henry Beston, The Outermost House

Kobie is her usual self!

This weekend Marilyn was in town and today she conducted an Animal Communication workshop at Rin Tin Inn. One of the participants attending spoke with Kobie and she was her usual "get it right" self.  In the past, people communicating with her were taken back when she contacted them first to see if they could "get it right".  Today the woman said she asked Kobie how she could be a better communicator and Kobie drew a circle and put herself in it and said "focus"!

She also asked if Kobie had a shiny coat (she had not seen a picture) and of course the answer was yes.  When asked how she felt she said her back leg is sore and she's slowing down (she's 9 year old).  The woman said she had a nurturing spirit.

The woman asked if she used to sleep with me (no..  she slept in the same room but not on the bed).  Kobie was showing a picture of 2 dogs lying on a bed and a blue afghan type blanket was mentioned.  (Jake and Brita sleep with me now which she can see from behind a baby gate.  She has the run of the house and access to the outside.)

Her favorite thing to do...  hang out in the kitchen with me!
