This week on Episode 151, this is Chapter Twenty-Five of my book, Animals Taught Me That. This chapter is about one incident with a hawk when we first moved to what was our desert retreat house. I say was because LOTS of houses and businesses have sprung up since so it's not as quiet or peaceful as it was 12 years ago. Nevertheless, I'm still grateful for all the encounters with wildlife we have had here and continue to do so. The photo with this episode is of a hawk sitting on our wall in our front yard this past summer.  Also in this episode is the AfterWord and Conclusion even though there is still one more chapter in this book (see below) - Shadrach the Neo Mastiff...Nuthin' But the Dog in Him. It was actually the first chapter I recorded a couple of years ago so don't miss it!    Scripture: Revelation 14   Article series that prompted the writing of this book: Come to the Edge, Part 1: The ScenarioCome to the Edge, Part 2: The QuestionsCome to the Edge, Part 3: The Conclusion   Previous Recorded Chapters in the Book:  Introduction to Animals Taught Me That Chapter 1: A Fish Tale - On Desert Pond Chapter 2: The Honeysuckle Game Chapter 3: Geronimo and Big Red Chapter 4: Tippy Toes Chapter 5: The Cisco Kids Chapter 6: Working at the Pet Store Chapter 7: How Not to Raise a Dog!

This week on Episode 150, this is Chapter Twenty-Four of my book, Animals Taught Me That. This chapter is about the wild desert dogs (aka coyotes) that live in my area. WE encroached on THEIR territory but they manage to survive anyway. I tell of one up close and personal encounter I've had with them, but I've since had many since the writing of this book.  The photo with this episode is one I took of the female coyote who followed me and my Great Dane, Meshach one morning that I mention in this episode. She wasn't the last one to follow me and I'm sure she won't be the last.   Scriptures: "...be prepared in season and out of season." ~2 Timothy 4:2, NIV    Article series that prompted the writing of this book: Come to the Edge, Part 1: The ScenarioCome to the Edge, Part 2: The QuestionsCome to the Edge, Part 3: The Conclusion   Previous Recorded Chapters in the Book:  Introduction to Animals Taught Me That Chapter 1: A Fish Tale - On Desert Pond Chapter 2: The Honeysuckle Game Chapter 3: Geronimo and Big Red Chapter 4: Tippy Toes Chapter 5: The Cisco Kids Chapter 6: Working at the Pet Store Chapter 7: How Not to Raise a Dog!

This week on Episode 149, this is Chapter Twenty-Three of my book, Animals Taught Me That. This chapter is about several of the wild animals that live in my desert sanctuary.

This week on Episode 148, I'm sharing a needed blast from my not so distant past but with all that is happening in the world today this is VERY appropriate to share. My former co-host and colleague and I share more on what is causing disease but masquerading as healthcare. It hasn't been about "health" in a very long time. This is the direction this show will focus on because this is the truth no matter who wants to believe it or not.  We WILL finish out the last three chapters of my book, Animals Taught Me That for the next three episodes, but this topic today is what we will come back to in February.    Quotes:  "If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything." ~Mark Twain  "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

This week on Episode 147, this episode was recorded in December of 2009 on my former long-running podcast, Animal Talk Naturally with my co-host Dr. Jeannie Thomason for our 3rd Annual Christmas show we titled, Redemption. We had guest Kristie Jones, with giveaways and music (see below). It was fun as they always are - this was Part 1 as these shows were always 2 hour events. I hope you enjoy and are enjoying your holidays and celebrating the end of the most challenging year ever, 2020.    Book mentioned: Black Dog Ranch by Kristie Jones (no longer available)   Music by: Chelley Odle and Mary Ann Kennedy   Free courses at https://www.aspenbloompetcare.com/courses 

This week on Episode 146, this is Chapter Twenty-Two of my book, Animals Taught Me That. This chapter is about primarily dogs I encountered at the park I ran at for ten years, plus one very special kitty, and a stinky surprise! This brought back all those memories for me and all but one were such good memories. While I feel I did beat myself up a lot in this book, I hope you come away inspired and encouraged instead. To know how much God loves you and His animal kingdom. As a friend told me recently be grateful for all the lessons they teach us - good, bad and ugly.    Scripture: "A friend loves at all times..." ~Proverbs 17:7, NIV    Article series that prompted the writing of this book: Come to the Edge, Part 1: The ScenarioCome to the Edge, Part 2: The QuestionsCome to the Edge, Part 3: The Conclusion   Previous Recorded Chapters in the Book:  Introduction to Animals Taught Me That Chapter 1: A Fish Tale - On Desert Pond Chapter 2: The Honeysuckle Game Chapter 3: Geronimo and Big Red Chapter 4: Tippy Toes Chapter 5: The Cisco Kids Chapter 6: Working at the Pet Store Chapter 7: How Not to Raise a Dog!

This week on Episode 145, this is Chapter Twenty-One of my book, Animals Taught Me That. This chapter is about a variety of animals that all decided I was a worthy target for one reason or another. I am fortunate as only one, our own family cat, actually did go through with the attack. However, I learned a lot more about animals through all of this as well as what we allow into our eyes and minds plays a huge role in what we attract into our lives too.    Scripture: "Show proper respect to everyone..." ~1 Peter 2:17, NIV    Article series that prompted the writing of this book: Come to the Edge, Part 1: The ScenarioCome to the Edge, Part 2: The QuestionsCome to the Edge, Part 3: The Conclusion   Previous Recorded Chapters in the Book:  Introduction to Animals Taught Me That Chapter 1: A Fish Tale - On Desert Pond Chapter 2: The Honeysuckle Game Chapter 3: Geronimo and Big Red Chapter 4: Tippy Toes Chapter 5: The Cisco Kids Chapter 6: Working at the Pet Store Chapter 7: How Not to Raise a Dog!

This week on Episode 144, I went sort of out of the norm although of course I did talk about our dogs but also a lot about us. I was sort of all over the place but it all comes together if you listen to the whole message. How to heal simply and as cost effectively as possible - it's in this law of health that God mandated for our well being and the animals. The thing is, I'm not talking about sleeping lol although that IS part of the law of health. Just listen in and be patient, as I do get to it all weaving in stories as usual.    Blog post with this episode: https://www.aspenbloompetcare.com/2020/10/rest-a-law-of-health/  All article and previous related episodes are linked within this blog post.    Scripture: "...Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?" ~Esther 4:16, NKJV   Free Courses: https://www.aspenbloompetcare.com/courses 

This week on Episode 143, this is Chapter Nineteen of my book, Animals Taught Me That. This chapter is about a variety of species who also happened to leave a lasting impression upon my animal loving heart. I hope they not only do that for you, but also encourage you to remember and share your own stories of the animals who've left lasting impressions upon your own life.  Scriptures: "Let us fix our eyes upon Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." ~Hebrews 12:2, NIV  "...because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

This week on Episode 142, this is Chapter Eighteen of my book, Animals Taught Me That.  This chapter is all about the various dogs that have been in my life over the years that were NOT mine, but I loved them as if they were. Some are sad, some show the real dysfunction of my family life, some are fun and funny, but the ever constant was and is the love of dogs.  Scripture: "And he was called God's friend." ~James 2:23b, NIV  Article series that prompted the writing of this book: Come to the Edge, Part 1: The ScenarioCome to the Edge, Part 2: The QuestionsCome to the Edge, Part 3: The Conclusion   Previous Recorded Chapters in the Book:  Introduction to Animals Taught Me That Chapter 1: A Fish Tale - On Desert Pond Chapter 2: The Honeysuckle Game Chapter 3: Geronimo and Big Red Chapter 4: Tippy Toes Chapter 5: The Cisco Kids Chapter 6: Working at the Pet Store Chapter 7: How Not to Raise a Dog!

This week on Episode 141, this episode was recorded in August of 2009. It is in honor of Dr. David Stewart, who was our guest on the show (ATN) to talk about the benefits of aromatherapy. The title will make sense to you after you listen. Dr. Stewart passed away on October 12, 2020. He left an amazing legacy, and I am so blessed that he took time out of his busy schedule over ten years ago to share his wisdom with us.   Books mentioned: Chemistry of Essential Oils Made Simple and Healing Oils of the Bible by Dr. David Stewart (a book I've read 3 times - yes it's that good!)

This week on Episode 140, this is Chapter Seventeen of my book, Animals Taught Me That. This chapter is about three very special cats, orange tabbies to be exact! While only one of the three was mine, each one indelibly left their feline pawprint upon my heart. There is so much in these stories that I know I'd do differently now, but that is the journey we call life. I've been fortunate to have had so many animals gracing my own journey.  Scripture: "Come to me ally who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." ~Matthew 11:28, NIV    Article series that prompted the writing of this book: Come to the Edge, Part 1: The ScenarioCome to the Edge, Part 2: The QuestionsCome to the Edge, Part 3: The Conclusion   Previous Recorded Chapters in the Book:  Introduction to Animals Taught Me That Chapter 1: A Fish Tale - On Desert Pond Chapter 2: The Honeysuckle Game Chapter 3: Geronimo and Big Red Chapter 4: Tippy Toes Chapter 5: The Cisco Kids Chapter 6: Working at the Pet Store Chapter 7: How Not to Raise a Dog!

This week on Episode 138, this is Chapter Sixteen of my book, Animals Taught Me That. This chapter is about several very special horses - aren't they all - that passed into and through my life over the years. My love of this animal has never grown cold and never will. Horses were my first animal love and will always remain so with dogs neck and neck with them! There are both sad and happy stories in this book - I never stray from the truth, but I always try to leave people with hope also.  Scripture: "I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True." ~Revelation 14:11, NIV    Article series that prompted the writing of this book: Come to the Edge, Part 1: The ScenarioCome to the Edge, Part 2: The QuestionsCome to the Edge, Part 3: The Conclusion   Previous Recorded Chapters in the Book:  Introduction to Animals Taught Me That Chapter 1: A Fish Tale - On Desert Pond Chapter 2: The Honeysuckle Game Chapter 3: Geronimo and Big Red Chapter 4: Tippy Toes Chapter 5: The Cisco Kids Chapter 6: Working at the Pet Store Chapter 7: How Not to Raise a Dog!

This week on Episode 137, this is Chapter fifteen of my book, Animals Taught Me That.  This story is about my special, prankster pup, Shadrach the Neo Mastiff! He inspired me to even want to write this book. Sharing this story with you brought back such good memories of the time I got to spend with him. He changed my life forever and I'm so grateful my husband and I got the privilege of sharing our home with this larger than life boy. While my workouts have changed from what I share in this episode, and I've had several dogs since Shadrach passed away in 2011, this story lives on in my heart until I am reunited with him once again in eternity.  Scripture: "Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy." ~Psalm 126:2, NIV  Article series that prompted the writing of this book: Come to the Edge, Part 1: The ScenarioCome to the Edge, Part 2: The QuestionsCome to the Edge, Part 3: The Conclusion   Previous Recorded Chapters in the Book:  Introduction to Animals Taught Me That Chapter 1: A Fish Tale - On Desert Pond Chapter 2: The Honeysuckle Game Chapter 3: Geronimo and Big Red Chapter 4: Tippy Toes Chapter 5: The Cisco Kids Chapter 6: Working at the Pet Store Chapter 7: How Not to Raise a Dog!
