In this episode of In The Vet’s Office, Pet Psychic Carrie Kenady joins Dr. Josie and her two rescue dogs Biggie & Saya. As an animal psychic medium, Carrie claims she has the ability to connect with all animals, including those who have crossed over. She shares their favorite memories and unique details only owners can validate. Carrie does a reading in real time of Dr. Josie’s dogs Biggie & Saya and even connects with her Great Dane Luca that passed away a few years ago! Ahead of the interview, Dr. Josie sits down with her co-host, Shannon Ella, to dive into her dog Saya’s backstory. When she rescued Saya from Mexico she didn’t realize she brought home a lot more than one dog – Saya was pregnant! Dr. Josie also takes listener calls and gives advice to a listener who lets his cat roam around outside unattended. After the interview, Dr. Josie and Shannon wrap up the episode with PAW & ORDER where Dr. Josie details things she’d never do with her own pets including trimming their nails without having a demo by an expert prior.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
You're listening to in the Vets Office with doctor Josie Horshak. Hello.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Everyone, Welcome to in the Vets Office. I am your host,
doctor Josie, and we have Shannon here. Hello.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Hello.
Speaker 4 (00:22):
I'm so glad we got a little, you know, sneak
peak of your pets being here with us, and now
they're here for a very important day.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
This is probably the episode I have been looking forward
to the most. Okay, we have a pet psychic coming on.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
I am so excited for this because I think it's
wild to get to get an inside look at what
your pets are thinking.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
I know, and I'm a scientist by training, of course
a engineerian, and so part of me is kind of like.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Do I really believe this?
Speaker 2 (00:49):
But I do believe in the ability to communicate with animals.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
I'm so excited to see how it goes.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
You've never done this before, or never like been around
a pet psychic.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
No, I have never done this before.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
I have.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
At my dad's farm, we actually had a psychic. I
cannot remember her name, but I'll I'll look it up
and get it for you for next time. But she
came out to the barn and we had like fourteen horses.
She spent two days with us, and she went through
every single horse in that barn and the things that
they were saying, which were valid that I was like,
that actually makes sense. It was mind blowing to hear
(01:26):
that they're like, I don't like having a window in
my stall and I want darkness, and we're like okay,
And it really was real. It's crazy that like they
they have feelings too.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
They absolutely do. And I'm excited to see what she
has to say. I've brought my two of my pups
here today. I have Syah, who was a.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Little staring at you right.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
She looks like a like a prairie dog. She's like
just staring at me. She was a street dog in Mexico.
My husband and Iron vacation in Siulita, Mexico. Just how
she got her names, and she came up to us.
She was so skinny, her nipples were like swaying in
the wind. They were so big. I was like, oh
my god, this little street mutt is so cute.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
She followed you everywhere, did she?
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (02:11):
She followed us everywhere, and smart girl, she knew. She's like,
that is a sucker right there. She's like she's going
to take me home.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
And I looked at my husband, Cody, and I was like,
we have to take her home. And he was like, Josie,
we are not leaving Mexico with a dog, like we
don't need a third dog. And I was like, okay, fine, fine,
We'll take her home and we'll give her to my
mom because my mom needs a dog.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
She was like, what part of we're not leaving Mexico
with a dog? And You're like, yes, we.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Are, uh huh, yes we are.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Well he knows who he married, so lo and behold,
we did leave Mexico with Sya and and she is
so sweet, and she is so sweet and part of
I guess it's not really a case of the week,
but we'll make this our case of the week. Okay,
we get her home and at this point we're definitely
keeping her like it's over.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
He's in love with her. I'm in love with her.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
And I knew she was tired, and I knew she
was a little bit underweight, and I just thought, Hey,
this is because she, you know, is adapting. She's been
on the streets for who knows how long, And so
we take her into the hospital to spay her, and
I realized that we didn't bring one dog home from Mexico.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
We brought home eleven. No, she was pregnant with ten puppies.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
You're like, that's why her nipples were saying, Yes, it's
all adding up making sense now.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Were you like, oh, how did this happen? Yes, I like,
have my nurse. I was scrubbed in, So I had
my nurse call Cody and I'm like, hey, we're grandparents,
and so sadly, I know everyone's gonna ask. Sadly the
puppies didn't make it. Saya did have a tick born disease,
so the pups she wasn't very long, very far along, no,
(03:47):
and she.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Was very young.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
So in hindsight, it probably was for the best that
she didn't have ten puppies and that you found her
when you did, because yeah, that probably would not she
probably wouldn't have made it too. So yeah, we're lucky
to have found her for sure. And the other really
interesting thing is she did have a swelling on her
back leg and so when she was under for her spay,
I was like, well, I'm just gonna check this out, Like, well,
(04:10):
I'll cut into it and see if we can figure
out what's going on there. And she had a big
bullet lodged in her thigh muscle. Oh my gosh, I know,
so kya, you sweet little girl.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
I know, this little angel. We got her through a lot.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
She's been through so much and she really we always
joked that she hit the jackpot, but I think we
hit the jackpot just as much as she did.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
No kidding, Thank goodness, you guys, Like it's crazy right
place at the right time. Yeah, of what, because like
she'll probably be one of the best dogs you ever
ever ever have. Yeah, we've had her for three years now,
and my husband, who didn't want to bring her home,
tucks her into bed every single night, like puts her
head on a pillow, like calls her his pretty, pretty princess.
(04:50):
I'm like, jeez, like, oh my god, we've really done
a one to eighty year guy that was like, we're
not bringing this dog from Mexico exactly. Asking for someone
who maybe is going to go on vacation soon and
see a sweet little dog like Sie. What's the process
of bringing them home? It's a lot easier when you're
a veterinarian. Okay, So I'll call you if I find Yeah,
(05:10):
you call me cutie, Yes, call me.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
I actually got was able to get in touch with
a vet down down in Sayulita and we kind of
tag deemed it and got her vaccinated and quarantined for
a few days.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
That.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
No, it's not the easiest thing in the world. I
will say it was COVID too. So when we were
coming through customs, right, I had her paperwork filled out,
but they didn't even really ask me, like do you
have anything to declare. I'm like nope. They're like okay,
and they just let.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Me go right through.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Wow, well, listen to this government. Please don't come out
for me.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Don't come for me.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
I could fill out her paperwork and she's got all
the vaccinations and all the things.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
She's legal, she has her green card, she has a
green card.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
And see I say that, but like, my husband is
definitely not like You're like, he's the guy that would
be at the hotel room door being like, hey, I
found this really cute puppy and can we please bring
it home?
Speaker 1 (05:55):
And I'd be like, oh, what are you doing.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
There's always one in the relationship.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
Yeah, he's definitely the one in ours for sure.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
All Right, Well, Sia, I'm so glad that you are
here with us tonight.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
I can't wait to hear what she has to say.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
I know, I'm really really excited. I feel like that's
a great backstore. I'm interested to hear if she'll give
us any insight info on what her life was like
before we brought her home.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
No kidding.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
All right, Well we're going to get to that in
a second. But we have some really great questions from
fans that have sent in for you to answer.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Perfect.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Hey, doctor Josie, So my cat really likes to go
outside unattended.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Is that okay?
Speaker 2 (06:29):
I think I speak for all veterinarians when I say
if we could have all of our cats be in
door only, we would, right, that's the preference.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
We see so.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Many cats that live outdoors that get terrible wounds or infections.
They're getting beat up by coyotes, raccoons, bobcats, cats, usually
other cats in the neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
They're all beating each other up.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
And there's contagious diseases between cats, so they can get
a leukemia virus, and they can also get an FIV virus,
which is like almost like.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Aids and cats.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
And so when they interact with each other and they
bite each other, they share food and water sources. They
can contract it that way and it really you know,
can be life threatening. So indoors only would be my
strong preference. I would say, if you have a cat
that likes to venture outdoors, getting them like a cadio
is really cool. I think those are super cute. Putting
(07:27):
them on a harness is really adorable. And then just
making sure you have them on the fleeteck and heartroom
prevention because fleases love cats.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Yeah, and see I always grew up with cats in
the barn. Like we didn't have cats in the house
because my dad was allergic, but he was like, all
allowed them in the barn, but it is so important
to keep them up to date on everything. Yes, and
we always like they stayed in the barn and there
was no way for them to get out or anything
else to get in at night, so they were safe
and not you know, there was a cat from you know,
the neighbors that did come over and gift us with kittens,
(07:57):
so we were like, this is our reminder for everyone
to get your cat spade. Also, yes, before it's too late,
bay and neuder them if they're going to be outside.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Definitely, spay and neuter them. Please please, please please do that.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
And we have a cat that loves to he wants
to go outside, but he I'm like every time he
runs out, I'm my buddy, you.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Will not survive out here. I don't know why you're
trying to do it.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
So we have a lovely screened in porch and he
spends his whole day out there.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
So there's alternatives. That's perfect. Yeah, that's perfect. Yeah, like
gives them a happy medium of for sure, they feel
like they're outside, but they're not going to get beat
up by the tom cat down the street.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Yeah, Murphy would get beat up, for sure, he would.
He wouldn't make it all right. Next up on our questions,
what do we get.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Hey, doctor Josie.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
So my dog pulls me so.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Hard when I walk her on a leash, Like what
should I do?
Speaker 2 (08:43):
So? I hear this a lot from owners, and being
an owner of I've had many big dogs. I had
a Great Dane and now I have a German Shepherd.
Sometimes you can feel like you're water skiing behind these guys.
They're just pulling you down the street. If that's the case,
A work with a trainer, of course, but when it
comes to leash walking, it usually ends up being like
tug of war, like whoever's strongest is gonna win, and
(09:04):
nine times out of ten it's the dog. And so
I really like to put them on a harness. The
harness I really like is called the easy Walk harness.
So if you attach the harness on their back, just
like a regular harness, again you're just playing tug of war.
But this harness in particular attaches in front on their
chest and you look at it and you're like, how
(09:25):
and the heck are these two thin little straps going
to keep my dog from pulling me? It looks like
it's not going to do anything, but it is amazing.
When they pull you, it like redirects them back towards you.
So it's a game changer, hands down. I would not
like my big dogs walk amazing on it. And you
can get on Amazon Easy Walk Harness. This is like
an easy Walk Harness commercial right now.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
It is not an ad. This is just from pure experience.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
I have a harness for our dog, co who's German
Shepherd like you said, mix, and she is just like
always in a hurry to get somewhere and the harness
I have, I do clip it in the front, but
it doesn't quite work the right way. So I'm like,
I will definitely be looking up one of those harnesses.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
For our dog. Yeah. It's a total total game changer.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Yeah, okay, all right, easy walk, easy walk harness, got
it all right. They saw them at all the pet
stores too, So if you're like, I'm not really sure
what size, you can take them into the pet store
and they'll get them get your pet fit awesome.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
All right.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Well, I am so so excited for this because I
cannot wait to hear what your pups have to say
and what they're thinking right now, because they look.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Pretty chill, but yeah, they're sure they have stories to tell. Yeah,
I'm I'm so excited. Today in the VETS office, we
have Carrie Kennedy joining us. Carrie is a pet psychic
and medium, which I did.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Not realize there's a difference.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
We'll have her kind of doll that and she's been
featured on Discovery Plus and the Travel Channel and she's
going to do a reading with both of my dogs
here today and then if we have time, she's gonna
hopefully be able to communicate with one of my dogs
that passed away recently as well, so should be great.
Oh my goodness, get your tissues. I am.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
I'm so excited for this though, and I think it
is just such a special experience for you and your
dogs too.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Yeah, right, here we go.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
All right, Carrie, welcome to in the VETS office.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
We are so excited to have you here.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Carrie is a pet psychic and a medium, and I
was telling the listeners that I didn't realize there was
a difference between those two.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Do you mind describing what the difference is.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
I don't mind at all, and thank you for having me.
So any medium can tune into anybody, any animal or
pet on the earth, sorry, any pet or person on
the other side, Psychics are not always mediums, but I
am a psychic medium, so that means I can tune
into people and animals on the other side.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
So when you see the other side, those that have
passed away, yes, correct, okay? And can mediums always talk
to animals and humans or is it special that you
can do both?
Speaker 3 (11:55):
I think we all have the ability to do this,
but I've developed it so that it is my specialty
of doing pet and people mediumship on the other side.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Wow, I think that is so amazing. Cannot wait to
hear what you have to say. How old were you
when you realized you had this ability?
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Thirty two and I'm forty seven. Now, I'm not in
forty six. I'm not forty seven years whoa mart I'm
forty seven. Yeah. So I always knew I was intuitive,
Like I used a channel poetry and stuff when I
was younger, and I'm a writer, and I started writing
in my journals, you know, when I was twenty, and
(12:34):
my handwriting started changing because I was a creative writer,
so I'd write a lot, and so that was called
automatic writing. I didn't even know what that was at
the time. Writing it started freaking me out because everybody
was like, you know, tell Sarah, and my paperwork is
underneath the bed and it's you know, will relate or whatever.
And so I freaked out and I threw my notebook
(12:55):
across the room and I was like, nope, I'm nope, nope, nope,
I'm not going to do this. It scares me. And
then fast forward to thirty two, my uncle died. He
was like a dad to me, and he was also
very psychic and intuitive. He was actually a Methodist minister.
He always joked that God had his email dress. They
were very in tune.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Yeah. So he crossed.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Over and the next day I was crying in my
room and I was like, okay, I know I can
hear you. Can you please just tell me you're okay?
And I heard yes, I love you, and that just
kind of opened up everything, and I started doing people readings.
The more I did those mediumship readings, the more pets
kept coming through. I was talking to one lady and
she's like, well, I was like, would you've got a
(13:40):
yellow bird on your to your right shoulder. I was like,
who is that? She started crying. She's like, I've had
the yellow bird for twelve years, so wow, that was
my pet who's now on the other side. Yeah. So
at that point I was like, okay, I think I
need to be giving these messages to people. Yeah. Yeah.
I was also talking to my friend. He was also
named Carrie, and I was like, are you pregnant? She's
(14:02):
like no, but I just had a miscarriage. And I'm like, well,
who's NONI? And she said, well, NONI was my great grandmother.
And I said, well, NONI has her and she's going
to send her back in four months, and then she
got pregnant four months with her daughter.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
I have goose bumps. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
So at that point I was like, Okay, yeah, I'm
supposed to be giving these messages. How I don't know,
but you know, the people mediumship just evolved into mediumship.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
So that is so special and it's amazing that you
can give people that. It's such a gift, I think.
So I'm glad that you answered the call.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Yeah, me too.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
So we were talking a little bit before we started recording,
and we're gonna have you do some readings on Sia
and Biggie that are here, which are my two of
my little rescue dogs. I do have a third dog
at home, but as I said before, I would be
chaos to have all three of them here. And then
I do have a dog that was really special to
me that passed away a couple of years ago. So
(15:00):
we had talked about maybe doing an angel reading for
her as well. And all that you need for that
is a picture.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Right, absolutely, and that's all I need.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Okay, very good. Well, which of these two?
Speaker 3 (15:10):
What are you thinking?
Speaker 1 (15:10):
How should we start?
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Let's talk to Siah first.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Okay, so she.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Is six years old, right, what I'm feeling.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Yeah, So before we started recording, Carrie asked me, how
old do you think she is? And I said, well,
you know, I rescued her. I think she's around five,
and Carrie said I'm getting six and I said, okay,
that makes total sense. And then you said I think
her birthday is May fifth. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
She told me Sinco de Miles her birthday.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Yeah, and that is so crazy because that's what we
have been celebrating at home for since we got her.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
I love it, and she's very excited that you celebrate
her birthday. So that's like one of her favorite memories,
just so you know. Okay, Yeah, she does not like water.
Did you know that. I did know that. Okay, she
hates water. She's like, tell my mom, I hate water.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
And is there a white swimmy white dog? Is there
a white dog?
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Yes, that's Oakley Arthur dog at home.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Yeah. She's not so sure about Oakley. So she's a
little bit jealous of Oakley. Does that make sense? Yeah?
I can see that, okay, like warming up to Oakley,
but not quite there. These two, though, they love each
other and Siah, Sia and Biggie. They absolutely adore each
(16:23):
other and they're like they feel very funded to me.
Somebody just said, rabbits. Do you have rabbits in your backyard?
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Wow, that's so funny. We have, Yes, we have rap
rabbits and squirrels. And Saya loves squirrels and rabbits.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Yes, they love to chase them. Okay, Sia, she's so
relaxed right now. So what I did earlier, she came
to me and she was reversed sneezing, and so I
gave her Reiki energy healing moan, I guess brand of
energy healing, and she stops sneezing, and I kept telling her,
you're safe, You're safe, coach. She does that because she doesn't.
(16:58):
She feels anxious a lot. She has anxiety. I'm sure
you know that. But she stopped the reverse sneezin as
soon as I did that, So that's pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
That's amazing.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Yeah, she's very chill right now. Obviously, do you need
me to get her perked up for you? Hey, I
take them here. She's like, I'm sleeping during this reading.
This is a great. She just showed me horses, you
what is that does she go around horses? What does
that mean?
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Yes, I have an older horse, he's twenty four. Oh wow, yeah,
his name is Timmy. So we go out to the
barn and she runs around, yes, around the horses.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
She loves it.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Oh yeah she does. That's like her other favorite memory.
And are there chickens there? Or do you give her chicken?
Speaker 1 (17:37):
There are chickens there.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Yeah, she loves to see the chickens too. Okay, she
probably wants to eat them.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
That's so cute.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Loves to see them.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Yeah, yeah, she likes to chase them.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Yeah, she's super happy, like she could not be happier
for sure. Yeah. Did she eat a fly or like
chase a fly?
Speaker 1 (17:54):
A fly? Probably not that off the top of my head.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
She said it was like a year ago. She's like, yeah,
there was a fly there. So let me let me
scan the rest of her body and see how she
Tommy's a little bit upset. I would say, like two
out of ten upset. Nothing to worry about. I mean
your vet. Yeah that's okay, Yeah, you get it more
than I do. But yeah, and then okay, and then
(18:20):
she's got a little bit of pain towards her tailbone
on the left side on that muscle. That makes sense,
and then it's kind of shooting down into her left hip. Okay,
it makes sense to you.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
That is Actually I was just telling the listeners this
is crazy because you were not here for this. But
she had a bullet in that and her thigh muscle
and her left leg.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Probably, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
I wonder she has anxiety. Yeah, you and so many
pets I talked to have severe anxiety, severe generalized anxiety disorder.
As you know, it's an epidemic in our country, just
like cancer. So I would love to know what do
you do to treat her her anxiety anything?
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Yeah, I mean she I wouldn't say she has generalized.
I think it's more situational in her case. But you're right,
I see a ton of generalized anxiety disorders and our pets.
She's not to the point where it's like, oh gosh,
we need to do medication. But we do a lot
of like positive reinforcement with her, and it's helped. Yes,
we do the thunder jacket.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
She's really of.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
Work for you, because that's so many people tell me, yes, no,
it doesn't work. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
It does work for her.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Her A lot of her anxiety stems around like loud noises,
which I guess she got shot, so that makes sense,
makes sense. So I find that, like with fireworks and thunderstorms,
that does make a big difference.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
Yeah, and are you a fan of CBD oil because
I tell everybody about it.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Yes, yeah, I like CBD for the longest time. As vets,
we couldn't really give it our blessing, but I have
had a lot of patients respond really well to it.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
I tell everybody about honest pause. Okay, they should pay
me for it, but they don't. But I but my
dog has severing and honest pause, it's the it's called calm.
It's peanut butter and oil in a jar, and it's fantastic,
Like it really helps this anxiety so perfect. Highly recommend.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
This is not an AD. And this is not an AD.
All right, Well we'll have to try it.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Py me after this, but no, it's.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Not exactly honest pause, give us a call. Yes, that's amazing.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
One thing I would love to know about her is
and I know you don't like to know too much,
but she was in Mexico when we found her.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
She was on the streets.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
I just like did she tell you anything about her
life before we adopted her.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
She's saying a lot of people actually feed her, so
that's good. She was very thirsty, she said, and she
had she had bugs, and so you helped her with
the fleas and the bugs and the means. Right.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Yeah, she had a tick born disease when we adopted her,
so that makes sense.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Oh my gosh. Yeah, she said, I've come a long way,
and I'm so grateful that you got me because I
wasn't going to survive. Yeah. Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
I can't cry on this podcast, but I might.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
That's okay.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
I'm used to that. So if you need to get
it out, that's you know, that's how you heal. That's
how we heal them too. Yeah. I love that she
is your little healer too. Do you get anxiety sometimes?
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Yes? I have terrible anxiety.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
So yeah, so she helps to heal your anxiety. So
let her up here. We carry our fear in chest stomach, right,
so let her up there. Look at them there, just bonded.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
So they love each other, they really do. And he's
a little picky, so he is very picky. What are
(21:45):
you feeling with him?
Speaker 3 (21:48):
My baby? Okay, biggie, can I talk to you, biggie?
I always ask permission, hie. Yeah, okay, bottom right gums
are sore? Okay, dental extraction or something there, like it
needs to happen. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yeah, he is due for a dental. He has heart disease.
Oh baby, So I am weighing the pros and cons
of putting him under anesthesia to do it. But that
makes sense. He is definitely due for a dental.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Yeah. Well, and he's seven, so most bets don't put
them under when they're over What twelve is that?
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Yeah? You know what kind of depends. I always tell
my owners. It's like I'm out of here. I always
tell my owners. You know, age isn't a disease. Every
dog is different. So if they're twelve and they're totally happy,
then that's not a reason not to put them under.
But of course we want to make sure we do
like all of our due diligence beforehand.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Of course, he's actually saying, not be okay with that,
like it hurts pretty bad. I would say, like seven
out of ten pain on that bottom right side, So
uh okay, let me see what else? Just go Actually, yeah,
same back left hip. It's a little bit sore. Uh,
that's weird. He just said elephant. Do you have like
(23:03):
an elephant, chuch key or do you love elephants?
Speaker 1 (23:06):
An elephant? No, I'd have to think about that.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Maybe you all were elephants in your past lifetime. I
don't know that.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Maybe it's possible. I feel like he could have been
an elephant. He's so tiny, but he's got like the
biggest heart. He does.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
Yeah, and then he's very protective of you. He goes
into every room you go into. Right, he's your little shadow.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
I mean that's the ultimate compliment, you know, as you know,
for a dog to do that. They protect us too.
In the bathroom, sorry, in the bathroom, they protect us.
Did you like wolves protect their other wolves when they're
going to the bathroom. Okay, that's what they That's what
dogs do for it.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Yeah, I cannot go to the bathroom without him.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Same right at my feet, right, same, my dog, my dog,
and my two cats are all like, this is my tribe.
But thanks guys.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Yeah, that's amazing. I guess it is like very animalistic
in the sense of like protecting their person. Oh yeah,
when you're at your most vulnerable in the bathroom for sure. Yeah,
anything about his life. I adopted him when he was gosh,
it's been also maybe about four years now getting any
(24:16):
sense of what his life was like beforehand.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
He showed me a lady he was not happy. He's
saying that she was a smoker like inside, and that
really hurt him, Like he hated the smell of it.
Did you know that?
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Or yeah?
Speaker 2 (24:30):
I knew that he had an elderly woman as his
owner previously.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Yeah, he loved her because he grew to love her
and they bonded. But he didn't feel healthy when he
was there. He didn't get good food either, And now
he's grateful for his good food that you give him.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
So, yeah, he's lost about ten pounds since I've had him.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
That's amazing. Do you have him on.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Fish, yes, yeah, salmon, he loves salmon, salmon flavored kibble
every once.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Yeah, he loves it like d Yeah, pray or prop
plan yep.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Yeah, his tummy is settled down. He showed me a
Do you take them hiking or on it like in
a wood wood a trail? Yeah, Yeah, they love that's
like their favorite thing ever. Okay, And then in the car,
like they'd love to go in the car with you.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Yeah. He loves to stick his head out the window.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Yeah. And did you get them like a Christmas stocking,
Christmas presence? Yeah, because that's what he's saying. He's saying,
thank you for that. That's like my favorite thing ever.
And then you celebrate birthdays too, right, Yes, okay, because
that's also their favorite memory. They're very grateful for that.
He loves his birthday. Okay, good to know. I'm like,
am I overdoing this?
Speaker 1 (25:38):
So okay? I love it?
Speaker 3 (25:40):
So many pet parents do it, so okay, And I
tell everybody that that's one of their favorite memories. Especially
when they talk to me when they're crossed over. They
always bring that through as one of their favorite memories,
like thank you for celebrating me, thank you for making
me a part of your family.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Amazing.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Does he?
Speaker 2 (25:57):
I mean he has pretty significant heart disease. Do you
Does he give you a sense of like understanding that
or feeling like limited in any way?
Speaker 3 (26:05):
No, he knows that, but he's like, I'm good, like
I don't see him going any tom soon. And I
can't say when that is. I can feel when they
feel really bad. He doesn't feel that bad to me.
He feels fine. He's a trooper. He's very optimistic.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Good because I need him to live for another one
hundred years. I know, right, all of our dogs, right,
that's amazing. I love that so much.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Anything else you want to say, she's very happy. Both
of them are very happy. They're talking about a black
dog and a white dog or those neighbor dogs that.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Yeah, we have a black that is so crazy. We
have a black and white doodle brother sister that live
in the backyard that.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Butt up to our yard.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
Yeah, they want to play with them.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Okay, okay, playdate. Good to know, all right, schule this mom?
That is crazy?
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Yeah? Ice cream? Did you give him dog ice cream?
Speaker 2 (26:58):
I didn't give them dog ice cream. My husband lets
them lick the ice cream out of his bowl.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
Okay, so they love it. Okay, and I have so
many dogs, you tell me that. But they have dog
ice cream now like frosty pas and also Ben and
Jerry's like pumpkin flavored ice cream.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
I'm fully aware. I cannot control my husband. He goes rogue.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
You can't do Oh god, I can't control these men,
can we? No?
Speaker 2 (27:19):
That's so funny. Okay, I'll have to let him know.
Now he's gonna be like, see, they.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Always tell me they love vanilla ice cream or you know,
like frosty pas or dog ice cream.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
So yeah, okay, I'll have to get the good stuff.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Then the good stuff. Amazing.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Do you wanna do an angel reading?
Speaker 3 (27:35):
I would love to.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Okay, So I need to show you a picture. Yes,
do I give you her name or how does that work?
Speaker 3 (27:42):
All I need is her name and how old she
was when she crossed over?
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Okay, let's see here. Her name was Luca Lucca.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
That reminds me of this. You're probably not old enough
to know Susie and Vega. No, my name is Luca.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Oh but yes, I know that's on this that was
from there. And how old was she?
Speaker 3 (28:04):
And she passed? She was eight?
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Okay, wow, this is her?
Speaker 3 (28:08):
Thank you? Oh my gosh, so beautiful, all sweet baby.
It's funny she looked older than eight. Know her face? Okay, gosh?
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (28:20):
And she had cancer, right, yes, yes, she had bone cancer.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
And of course you know, half of all dogs over
the age of ten get cancer. It's also an epidemic
in our country. So okay, and you put her down right.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
Yeah, she's saying thank you for that, because that was
the day she needed to go. She showed me a
red blanket, like a plaid blanket, Does that make sense.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Yeah, she wore she had a pink plaid coat that
I would put her in.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
Okay, so of course, you know, dogs can see blue,
gray and yellow, but so my spirit guides, her spirit
guides tell me other colors.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
I was close with the baby, yeah, very close.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
She liked that. She said that you took such good
care of her. And she slept in the in your bedroom, right, yes, yes,
in the bed. Yes, she loved it. Oh yeah, she's
sending you butterflies. Have you seen butterflies since her death? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Yeah, okay, yep, that's her little sign.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
Yeah, and they don't have to be real. They can
be anywhere, like on a license plate sticker, anywhere. So
she also just showed me rainbows and again, those don't
have to be real rainbows. Yeah, and used to sing
to her, right, oh yeah, not, well, that's okay, they
don't care. She actually absolutely loved it when you sang
(29:42):
to her. So that was one of her favorite things too.
And of course celebrating her birthdays and Christmas and all
that stuff. Okay, go what else do you want to say?
Little brown dog. She's with a little brown dog on
the other side. Does that make sense?
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Yeah, that makes total sense. That is my my dog
growing up Macy. Then they were together in the first
part of her life.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
Yeah, so they're together, they're watching over you.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
And then Lucas come to you in dreams. Do you
remember those dreams? Yeah? Yeah, she's saying something about the sink.
Did you like bathe her in the sink when chose
little or what is this the sink? If that makes sense?
That's so random the sink.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
I'd have to think about that.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
Okay, I tell people write stuff down. If that doesn't
make sense. Now, probably will.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Later wake up at three in the morning and be like, ah,
a sink.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
Or something will happen sometimes to see future stuff. So
maybe like she'll move something and like into the sink,
I don't know, like a soap dish or whatever. Yeah,
she's she was a goofy, goofy girl. I mean just
and just sparkly energy and loving, beautiful, healing energy. She
loved her little butt scratches as you did. Yeah, and
(30:53):
loved when you rubbed under her chin, and you did
take her hiking like you were really active with her, right.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Yes, yes, hit a lot of outdrectivities.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
She loved it. And did you take her on a book?
Speaker 2 (31:04):
She boat?
Speaker 3 (31:04):
She showed me water on a boat or where there
were boats, like a beach or lake.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Yes, we lived on Lake Michigan in Chicago, so we
go out on the beach a lot.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Yeah, she loved it.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
That was That's one of her favorite memories. Okay, what
do you want to ask her?
Speaker 2 (31:23):
I guess the big thing was just that, you know,
she felt like that was the right time when she went,
and it sounds.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
Like absolutely it was humans and animals. We actually planned
the exact day we're going to go before we even incarnate,
So that was you helped her carry out her life script.
So that was a good thing. And of course, you know,
you know, euthanasia is the most humane thing you can
do for sick animal.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Yeah. Absolutely, I always say it's a privilege. Yes, it's
still it was interesting being on the other side of
the equation and having to make the decision was really difficult.
So sure, but I'm glad that she feels like it
was the right time.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
For her to go.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
Yeah, and she said this was at home, did you. Yeah,
she's saying, thank you for doing it at home because
I felt a lot more safe and comfortable, and I
always recommend that to people.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Yeah, yeah, we did it at home.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
One thing I wanted to know is if she always
felt so guilty, because I felt like she hated living
in downtown Chicago. So I was just wondering, did she
do you get any sense of that from her? No?
Speaker 3 (32:29):
She I mean she was cold right in, but she's saying, no,
I wanted to be where my mom was, Like I
was her protector, her guard dog, her heeler, everything, like
she just she wanted to be where you are. And
that was okay, that was good with her. Good.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
That makes it.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
She did actually like the snow. Took her out in
the snow.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Yeah, yeah, she loved the snow.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
She's showing me pigeons too. Are their pigeons in Chicago?
I don't even know? Yeah, at the park, Okay, she
liked to watch the pigeons. That's funny, so cute. Yeah,
she just said hot dog. Did she forget a like
pick up a hot dog there? Probably at some point,
who knows?
Speaker 2 (33:05):
Yeah, And you can get anything off the street there, gosh,
probably anything with Mike my husband.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
He's funny. Yeah, he's very charming. Uh oh. I love Daddy.
I love to be near him. I like to watch
TV with him. And then she just said popcorn. Did
you give him for popcorn or yeah, he likes a
lot of popcorn. Yeah, okay, So she associates Dad with
(33:35):
popcorn and getting the popcorn and really liking that. But
of course she loves Dad for more than the popcorn. Right,
But that's like and she used to sit at his feet,
all right, or lay at his feet. Yeah, you love
doing that. Okay. She was definitely connected to both of you.
That relationship was very special to her both. Are your
(33:55):
relationships love that?
Speaker 2 (33:57):
Well?
Speaker 3 (33:57):
Thank you? Absolutely so beautiful. Do you want to ask
her anything else? By the way, By the way, I
have a dog, her biological dog, Mama crossed her over,
so she's not alone on the other side. Okay, wow,
And then I'm seeing her with other horses. So have
you had other horses that have crossed over that she's
been with or that she knew or maybe didn't know,
(34:20):
but now she's there with them.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
Yeah, that would makes sense.
Speaker 3 (34:22):
Okay, yes, we're all together, she says.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
I can't believe she's with Macie, my little dog, the
brown dog.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
That is so any people and animals you've been with
here who are now on the other side, they're going
to be around you and connected because we reincarnate a
soul groups, and a lot of times these animals come
back to us in the same lifetime. Like my childhood dog, Copper.
He came back as my dog right now. He looked
(34:50):
at me the second day I had him and he
said Copper, and I just started bawling because I knew
they act exactly alike.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
So, wow, yeah, do you have any sense of Sho'll
come back to me?
Speaker 3 (35:03):
I just heard eight I don't know if that's I
think that's eight years, so not for a while. Okay,
I do think she is going to come back. Okay,
they don't always know. I don't know how that works
because I've never been on the other side. But yeah,
I think she she wants to. They always want to. Wow.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Is that the same with humans?
Speaker 3 (35:22):
So usually they only reincarnate, you know, once a lifetime. Okay, yeah,
but there's no time and space on the other side,
like a blip, right, No, time at all. Right, Well,
and I believe that there's multiple timelines going on at
the same time. So there's no past, there's no future.
It's just all right now, all happening, happening simultaneously, different timelines.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
That's the whole of their talk show, right, Yeah, exactly. Wow,
I'm trying to think what else I should ask, Luca.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
It's just I should have come more prepared.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
No, it's okay.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
People usually ask me, you know, was she suffering? I mean,
you took such good care of her and knew exactly
what to do with her cancer. She loved her food,
she loved her life. She'd show me squirrels and birds
all dogs. Tell me that she was very happy. She
was she felt very blessed. Other than that, she's just
(36:27):
thanking you for the beautiful life you gave her, and
she's happy she sent these two. They came after her, right,
that one did at least? Yes, okay, yeah, so the
old pet is always responsible for bringing in the new pet.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
Okay, they tell me, Okay, wow, that's amazing. Yeah, well,
thank you, I love that so much.
Speaker 3 (36:49):
Yes, And Luca, by the way, is saying, don't be
so hard on yourself to do that a lot. Yes,
she's saying you're perfect just the way you are, and
you're amazed out what you do, and she's thanking you
for everything you do for the animals.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
Oh yeah, my gosh, right, that's so beautiful.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
I just believe that.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
Oh well, thank you. Yeah, she was so special to me.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
I got her this summer before I went to veterinary school,
so we packed up and drove to VET school together.
I'm not a wise decision getting a puppy before starting
vet school, but she was definitely with me.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Through the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
So she taught you a lot too. Yes, she's my
little teacher animal. I like practice blood draws on her
and all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (37:30):
She's laughing, She's like, yeah, I knew that was going
to happen. Yeah, it's all good.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
She was my little guinea pig, not so little, a
big great Dane guinea pig, a big baby, yes.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
But very special to me for sure.
Speaker 3 (37:43):
Well, thank you for letting me tune into her.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
You're so welcome.
Speaker 3 (37:46):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
Now, if people want to get a reading done by you,
is that something that has to happen in person? Is
that something that can be done virtually? How does that work?
Speaker 3 (37:57):
I can do it in person if they're in central
can can actually do a lot of barn visits with horses.
But I have clients all over the world, and I
consume with international clients. But people can just go to
www dot Talk to Pets dot Com and book either
a living pet session or a mediumship session, and so.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
It's like a virtual zoom call essentially, and they have
their animals with them or or.
Speaker 3 (38:19):
For international callers, but for domestic callers, it's just a
phone call and they can upload their pictures to my website,
the pictures of their pets. Okay, yeah, and he is
a picture to tune into any living or deceased pet.
Speaker 2 (38:34):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
And do you do the race horses in Kentucky.
Speaker 3 (38:38):
I've actually talked to American Pharaoh right before he raced
because I was friends with the lady where who owned
the farm where he was born. Okay, so that was
really cool, and I you know, I showed him that
they communicate with visual images. So I showed him, you know,
running as fast as he could and being you know,
before any other horsehead, right, and so you know who knows.
(39:02):
I mean, I believe they all can hear as animal
community heres but you know, I mean he was a
great horse.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
So he is a great horse. Yeah, it's one of
the best of all times. Yeah, he did it. So
that's amazing that it's.
Speaker 3 (39:13):
Cool to have that connection. Yeah, so cool. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
Well, I just think this is such an incredible gift
and I really appreciate you coming on and showing us
you know what you're able to do with this ability,
and just yeah, thank you for making the time.
Speaker 3 (39:31):
Yeah, thank you for having me.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
You're so welcome.
Speaker 4 (39:37):
All right, it's our favorite time of the week for
Paul and Order. Yes, that was so much fun getting
to have Carrie on here. And I feel like I
just want to have her come and I want to
talk to every animal that has ever been in my life.
Speaker 1 (39:50):
And just know what they're what they were thinking.
Speaker 3 (39:52):
I know.
Speaker 1 (39:52):
So amazing.
Speaker 2 (39:53):
I just think it's such a special gift and so cool.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
We're so lucky to have had her here today.
Speaker 4 (40:01):
All right, So, Pawn, Order, what is the what's happening
this week that we need to learn about? I learned
a lot last week, guys, of things I should not
be doing.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
So what's up for this week? All right?
Speaker 2 (40:10):
First on the docket we have I would not recommend
attempting to trim your pets toenails at home without getting
a demo from your veterinarian.
Speaker 1 (40:21):
First.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
Yes, I have seen a lot of blood baths, I
believe it at home. There's a big old vessel and
nerve that run down the middle of that nail. We
call it the quick and if you trim that toenail
back too short, you are going it's gonna look like, uh,
there's been a homicide in your house.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
It's not good.
Speaker 4 (40:39):
I'm sad to say I've done it before. Especially dogs
that have dark toenails. It's way harder to not make
sure that you don't hurt yourself or hurt them while
you're doing it. So yeah, definitely ask your vet or
take it to someone who knows what they're doing.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
Yeah, exactly, or a groomer.
Speaker 2 (40:52):
And if you do happen to trim your dog's toenails
too short and they are bleeding, you can always use
cornstar or baking flour. DA have that on the end
of the nail and that can help it the blood
clot and not bleed as much. Okay, thoughts on the grinders,
I don't mind them, the drum all grinders, Yeah, they're
they're fine. They make a loud noise. I think by
(41:15):
the end of it, if you can just trim the
nail with regular nail trimmers, I mean, it's usually a
little bit more quick and efficient. But if you want
to kind of round the edges and do the drumal,
go for it. Nice manicure. I know, like, is she okay? Okaz,
she's sneezing?
Speaker 1 (41:32):
Okay? All right? Next up on pawn order, all right,
next up.
Speaker 2 (41:37):
I would not use the flea, tick and heartworm prevention
that you can purchase online or at the pet store.
I see so many pets that come in with fleas
and ticks and heartworm because they are prevention was purchased
at the pet store. This is one area where you
do not want to save a few dollars. Get the
prescription stuff from your veterinarian. Absolutely is different and way
(42:01):
more effective.
Speaker 3 (42:02):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (42:03):
So although you may save a few dollars in the
short term, you will spend way way more trying to
treat heartworm disease and get rid of fleas. All right,
good to know, yes, because you see it there, you're
at the store, You're like, oh, I need to get this. Yeah,
one stop shop, don't do it.
Speaker 1 (42:18):
Yeah, and you have no idea. I mean it seems like,
of course it's going to work, just like the other
stuff does, but it really does not. So okay, good
to know, all right, what's up next?
Speaker 2 (42:26):
Last on the docket. I would not ignore my cat's
unusual bathroom habits. Cats in particular can have a lot
of lower urinary track disease, the boy cats specifically, and
it can be a life threatening emergency at times. So
if your kitty is ever straining tyrannate, vocalizing in the
litter box, if there's blood in their urine. This isn't
(42:47):
something where it's like, oh, I'll just give it a
day or two and see if it clears up on
its own. Call your vet right away and let them
know what's going on. Good to know.
Speaker 4 (42:54):
Yeah, we actually had something similar happen with our cat
and he had like a little kidney thing going on.
He's fine and we caught it quickly, but I can
imagine if we had to let it go, it would
not have been good. Yes, and mail cats love to
get stones and they're urethra and they become blocked and
that is life threatening. So any weird things going on
in the letterbox. Let your vet know yes for sure.
(43:15):
All right, Well, thank you guys so much for joining

You're listening to in the Vets Office with doctor Josie Horshak. Hello.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Everyone, Welcome to in the Vets Office. I am your host,
doctor Josie, and we have Shannon here. Hello.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Hello.
Speaker 4 (00:22):
I'm so glad we got a little, you know, sneak
peak of your pets being here with us, and now
they're here for a very important day.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
This is probably the episode I have been looking forward
to the most. Okay, we have a pet psychic coming on.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
I am so excited for this because I think it's
wild to get to get an inside look at what
your pets are thinking.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
I know, and I'm a scientist by training, of course
a engineerian, and so part of me is kind of like.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Do I really believe this?
Speaker 2 (00:49):
But I do believe in the ability to communicate with animals.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
I'm so excited to see how it goes.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
You've never done this before, or never like been around
a pet psychic.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
No, I have never done this before.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
I have.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
At my dad's farm, we actually had a psychic. I
cannot remember her name, but I'll I'll look it up
and get it for you for next time. But she
came out to the barn and we had like fourteen horses.
She spent two days with us, and she went through
every single horse in that barn and the things that
they were saying, which were valid that I was like,
that actually makes sense. It was mind blowing to hear
(01:26):
that they're like, I don't like having a window in
my stall and I want darkness, and we're like okay,
And it really was real. It's crazy that like they
they have feelings too.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
They absolutely do. And I'm excited to see what she
has to say. I've brought my two of my pups
here today. I have Syah, who was a.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Little staring at you right.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
She looks like a like a prairie dog. She's like
just staring at me. She was a street dog in Mexico.
My husband and Iron vacation in Siulita, Mexico. Just how
she got her names, and she came up to us.
She was so skinny, her nipples were like swaying in
the wind. They were so big. I was like, oh
my god, this little street mutt is so cute.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
She followed you everywhere, did she?
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (02:11):
She followed us everywhere, and smart girl, she knew. She's like,
that is a sucker right there. She's like she's going
to take me home.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
And I looked at my husband, Cody, and I was like,
we have to take her home. And he was like, Josie,
we are not leaving Mexico with a dog, like we
don't need a third dog. And I was like, okay, fine, fine,
We'll take her home and we'll give her to my
mom because my mom needs a dog.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
She was like, what part of we're not leaving Mexico
with a dog? And You're like, yes, we.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Are, uh huh, yes we are.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Well he knows who he married, so lo and behold,
we did leave Mexico with Sya and and she is
so sweet, and she is so sweet and part of
I guess it's not really a case of the week,
but we'll make this our case of the week. Okay,
we get her home and at this point we're definitely
keeping her like it's over.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
He's in love with her. I'm in love with her.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
And I knew she was tired, and I knew she
was a little bit underweight, and I just thought, Hey,
this is because she, you know, is adapting. She's been
on the streets for who knows how long, And so
we take her into the hospital to spay her, and
I realized that we didn't bring one dog home from Mexico.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
We brought home eleven. No, she was pregnant with ten puppies.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
You're like, that's why her nipples were saying, Yes, it's
all adding up making sense now.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Were you like, oh, how did this happen? Yes, I like,
have my nurse. I was scrubbed in, So I had
my nurse call Cody and I'm like, hey, we're grandparents,
and so sadly, I know everyone's gonna ask. Sadly the
puppies didn't make it. Saya did have a tick born disease,
so the pups she wasn't very long, very far along, no,
(03:47):
and she.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Was very young.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
So in hindsight, it probably was for the best that
she didn't have ten puppies and that you found her
when you did, because yeah, that probably would not she
probably wouldn't have made it too. So yeah, we're lucky
to have found her for sure. And the other really
interesting thing is she did have a swelling on her
back leg and so when she was under for her spay,
I was like, well, I'm just gonna check this out, Like, well,
(04:10):
I'll cut into it and see if we can figure
out what's going on there. And she had a big
bullet lodged in her thigh muscle. Oh my gosh, I know,
so kya, you sweet little girl.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
I know, this little angel. We got her through a lot.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
She's been through so much and she really we always
joked that she hit the jackpot, but I think we
hit the jackpot just as much as she did.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
No kidding, Thank goodness, you guys, Like it's crazy right
place at the right time. Yeah, of what, because like
she'll probably be one of the best dogs you ever
ever ever have. Yeah, we've had her for three years now,
and my husband, who didn't want to bring her home,
tucks her into bed every single night, like puts her
head on a pillow, like calls her his pretty, pretty princess.
(04:50):
I'm like, jeez, like, oh my god, we've really done
a one to eighty year guy that was like, we're
not bringing this dog from Mexico exactly. Asking for someone
who maybe is going to go on vacation soon and
see a sweet little dog like Sie. What's the process
of bringing them home? It's a lot easier when you're
a veterinarian. Okay, So I'll call you if I find Yeah,
(05:10):
you call me cutie, Yes, call me.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
I actually got was able to get in touch with
a vet down down in Sayulita and we kind of
tag deemed it and got her vaccinated and quarantined for
a few days.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
That.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
No, it's not the easiest thing in the world. I
will say it was COVID too. So when we were
coming through customs, right, I had her paperwork filled out,
but they didn't even really ask me, like do you
have anything to declare. I'm like nope. They're like okay,
and they just let.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Me go right through.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Wow, well, listen to this government. Please don't come out
for me.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Don't come for me.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
I could fill out her paperwork and she's got all
the vaccinations and all the things.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
She's legal, she has her green card, she has a
green card.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
And see I say that, but like, my husband is
definitely not like You're like, he's the guy that would
be at the hotel room door being like, hey, I
found this really cute puppy and can we please bring
it home?
Speaker 1 (05:55):
And I'd be like, oh, what are you doing.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
There's always one in the relationship.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
Yeah, he's definitely the one in ours for sure.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
All Right, Well, Sia, I'm so glad that you are
here with us tonight.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
I can't wait to hear what she has to say.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
I know, I'm really really excited. I feel like that's
a great backstore. I'm interested to hear if she'll give
us any insight info on what her life was like
before we brought her home.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
No kidding.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
All right, Well we're going to get to that in
a second. But we have some really great questions from
fans that have sent in for you to answer.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Perfect.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Hey, doctor Josie, So my cat really likes to go
outside unattended.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Is that okay?
Speaker 2 (06:29):
I think I speak for all veterinarians when I say
if we could have all of our cats be in
door only, we would, right, that's the preference.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
We see so.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Many cats that live outdoors that get terrible wounds or infections.
They're getting beat up by coyotes, raccoons, bobcats, cats, usually
other cats in the neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
They're all beating each other up.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
And there's contagious diseases between cats, so they can get
a leukemia virus, and they can also get an FIV virus,
which is like almost like.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Aids and cats.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
And so when they interact with each other and they
bite each other, they share food and water sources. They
can contract it that way and it really you know,
can be life threatening. So indoors only would be my
strong preference. I would say, if you have a cat
that likes to venture outdoors, getting them like a cadio
is really cool. I think those are super cute. Putting
(07:27):
them on a harness is really adorable. And then just
making sure you have them on the fleeteck and heartroom
prevention because fleases love cats.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Yeah, and see I always grew up with cats in
the barn. Like we didn't have cats in the house
because my dad was allergic, but he was like, all
allowed them in the barn, but it is so important
to keep them up to date on everything. Yes, and
we always like they stayed in the barn and there
was no way for them to get out or anything
else to get in at night, so they were safe
and not you know, there was a cat from you know,
the neighbors that did come over and gift us with kittens,
(07:57):
so we were like, this is our reminder for everyone
to get your cat spade. Also, yes, before it's too late,
bay and neuder them if they're going to be outside.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Definitely, spay and neuter them. Please please, please please do that.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
And we have a cat that loves to he wants
to go outside, but he I'm like every time he
runs out, I'm my buddy, you.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Will not survive out here. I don't know why you're
trying to do it.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
So we have a lovely screened in porch and he
spends his whole day out there.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
So there's alternatives. That's perfect. Yeah, that's perfect. Yeah, like
gives them a happy medium of for sure, they feel
like they're outside, but they're not going to get beat
up by the tom cat down the street.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Yeah, Murphy would get beat up, for sure, he would.
He wouldn't make it all right. Next up on our questions,
what do we get.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Hey, doctor Josie.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
So my dog pulls me so.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Hard when I walk her on a leash, Like what
should I do?
Speaker 2 (08:43):
So? I hear this a lot from owners, and being
an owner of I've had many big dogs. I had
a Great Dane and now I have a German Shepherd.
Sometimes you can feel like you're water skiing behind these guys.
They're just pulling you down the street. If that's the case,
A work with a trainer, of course, but when it
comes to leash walking, it usually ends up being like
tug of war, like whoever's strongest is gonna win, and
(09:04):
nine times out of ten it's the dog. And so
I really like to put them on a harness. The
harness I really like is called the easy Walk harness.
So if you attach the harness on their back, just
like a regular harness, again you're just playing tug of war.
But this harness in particular attaches in front on their
chest and you look at it and you're like, how
(09:25):
and the heck are these two thin little straps going
to keep my dog from pulling me? It looks like
it's not going to do anything, but it is amazing.
When they pull you, it like redirects them back towards you.
So it's a game changer, hands down. I would not
like my big dogs walk amazing on it. And you
can get on Amazon Easy Walk Harness. This is like
an easy Walk Harness commercial right now.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
It is not an ad. This is just from pure experience.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
I have a harness for our dog, co who's German
Shepherd like you said, mix, and she is just like
always in a hurry to get somewhere and the harness
I have, I do clip it in the front, but
it doesn't quite work the right way. So I'm like,
I will definitely be looking up one of those harnesses.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
For our dog. Yeah. It's a total total game changer.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Yeah, okay, all right, easy walk, easy walk harness, got
it all right. They saw them at all the pet
stores too, So if you're like, I'm not really sure
what size, you can take them into the pet store
and they'll get them get your pet fit awesome.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
All right.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Well, I am so so excited for this because I
cannot wait to hear what your pups have to say
and what they're thinking right now, because they look.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Pretty chill, but yeah, they're sure they have stories to tell. Yeah,
I'm I'm so excited. Today in the VETS office, we
have Carrie Kennedy joining us. Carrie is a pet psychic
and medium, which I did.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Not realize there's a difference.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
We'll have her kind of doll that and she's been
featured on Discovery Plus and the Travel Channel and she's
going to do a reading with both of my dogs
here today and then if we have time, she's gonna
hopefully be able to communicate with one of my dogs
that passed away recently as well, so should be great.
Oh my goodness, get your tissues. I am.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
I'm so excited for this though, and I think it
is just such a special experience for you and your
dogs too.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Yeah, right, here we go.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
All right, Carrie, welcome to in the VETS office.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
We are so excited to have you here.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Carrie is a pet psychic and a medium, and I
was telling the listeners that I didn't realize there was
a difference between those two.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Do you mind describing what the difference is.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
I don't mind at all, and thank you for having me.
So any medium can tune into anybody, any animal or
pet on the earth, sorry, any pet or person on
the other side, Psychics are not always mediums, but I
am a psychic medium, so that means I can tune
into people and animals on the other side.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
So when you see the other side, those that have
passed away, yes, correct, okay? And can mediums always talk
to animals and humans or is it special that you
can do both?
Speaker 3 (11:55):
I think we all have the ability to do this,
but I've developed it so that it is my specialty
of doing pet and people mediumship on the other side.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Wow, I think that is so amazing. Cannot wait to
hear what you have to say. How old were you
when you realized you had this ability?
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Thirty two and I'm forty seven. Now, I'm not in
forty six. I'm not forty seven years whoa mart I'm
forty seven. Yeah. So I always knew I was intuitive,
Like I used a channel poetry and stuff when I
was younger, and I'm a writer, and I started writing
in my journals, you know, when I was twenty, and
(12:34):
my handwriting started changing because I was a creative writer,
so I'd write a lot, and so that was called
automatic writing. I didn't even know what that was at
the time. Writing it started freaking me out because everybody
was like, you know, tell Sarah, and my paperwork is
underneath the bed and it's you know, will relate or whatever.
And so I freaked out and I threw my notebook
(12:55):
across the room and I was like, nope, I'm nope, nope, nope,
I'm not going to do this. It scares me. And
then fast forward to thirty two, my uncle died. He
was like a dad to me, and he was also
very psychic and intuitive. He was actually a Methodist minister.
He always joked that God had his email dress. They
were very in tune.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Yeah. So he crossed.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Over and the next day I was crying in my
room and I was like, okay, I know I can
hear you. Can you please just tell me you're okay?
And I heard yes, I love you, and that just
kind of opened up everything, and I started doing people readings.
The more I did those mediumship readings, the more pets
kept coming through. I was talking to one lady and
she's like, well, I was like, would you've got a
(13:40):
yellow bird on your to your right shoulder. I was like,
who is that? She started crying. She's like, I've had
the yellow bird for twelve years, so wow, that was
my pet who's now on the other side. Yeah. So
at that point I was like, okay, I think I
need to be giving these messages to people. Yeah. Yeah.
I was also talking to my friend. He was also
named Carrie, and I was like, are you pregnant? She's
(14:02):
like no, but I just had a miscarriage. And I'm like, well,
who's NONI? And she said, well, NONI was my great grandmother.
And I said, well, NONI has her and she's going
to send her back in four months, and then she
got pregnant four months with her daughter.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
I have goose bumps. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
So at that point I was like, Okay, yeah, I'm
supposed to be giving these messages. How I don't know,
but you know, the people mediumship just evolved into mediumship.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
So that is so special and it's amazing that you
can give people that. It's such a gift, I think.
So I'm glad that you answered the call.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Yeah, me too.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
So we were talking a little bit before we started recording,
and we're gonna have you do some readings on Sia
and Biggie that are here, which are my two of
my little rescue dogs. I do have a third dog
at home, but as I said before, I would be
chaos to have all three of them here. And then
I do have a dog that was really special to
me that passed away a couple of years ago. So
(15:00):
we had talked about maybe doing an angel reading for
her as well. And all that you need for that
is a picture.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Right, absolutely, and that's all I need.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Okay, very good. Well, which of these two?
Speaker 3 (15:10):
What are you thinking?
Speaker 1 (15:10):
How should we start?
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Let's talk to Siah first.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Okay, so she.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Is six years old, right, what I'm feeling.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Yeah, So before we started recording, Carrie asked me, how
old do you think she is? And I said, well,
you know, I rescued her. I think she's around five,
and Carrie said I'm getting six and I said, okay,
that makes total sense. And then you said I think
her birthday is May fifth. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
She told me Sinco de Miles her birthday.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Yeah, and that is so crazy because that's what we
have been celebrating at home for since we got her.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
I love it, and she's very excited that you celebrate
her birthday. So that's like one of her favorite memories,
just so you know. Okay, Yeah, she does not like water.
Did you know that. I did know that. Okay, she
hates water. She's like, tell my mom, I hate water.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
And is there a white swimmy white dog? Is there
a white dog?
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Yes, that's Oakley Arthur dog at home.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Yeah. She's not so sure about Oakley. So she's a
little bit jealous of Oakley. Does that make sense? Yeah?
I can see that, okay, like warming up to Oakley,
but not quite there. These two, though, they love each
other and Siah, Sia and Biggie. They absolutely adore each
(16:23):
other and they're like they feel very funded to me.
Somebody just said, rabbits. Do you have rabbits in your backyard?
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Wow, that's so funny. We have, Yes, we have rap
rabbits and squirrels. And Saya loves squirrels and rabbits.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Yes, they love to chase them. Okay, Sia, she's so
relaxed right now. So what I did earlier, she came
to me and she was reversed sneezing, and so I
gave her Reiki energy healing moan, I guess brand of
energy healing, and she stops sneezing, and I kept telling her,
you're safe, You're safe, coach. She does that because she doesn't.
(16:58):
She feels anxious a lot. She has anxiety. I'm sure
you know that. But she stopped the reverse sneezin as
soon as I did that, So that's pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
That's amazing.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Yeah, she's very chill right now. Obviously, do you need
me to get her perked up for you? Hey, I
take them here. She's like, I'm sleeping during this reading.
This is a great. She just showed me horses, you
what is that does she go around horses? What does
that mean?
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Yes, I have an older horse, he's twenty four. Oh wow, yeah,
his name is Timmy. So we go out to the
barn and she runs around, yes, around the horses.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
She loves it.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Oh yeah she does. That's like her other favorite memory.
And are there chickens there? Or do you give her chicken?
Speaker 1 (17:37):
There are chickens there.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Yeah, she loves to see the chickens too. Okay, she
probably wants to eat them.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
That's so cute.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Loves to see them.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Yeah, yeah, she likes to chase them.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Yeah, she's super happy, like she could not be happier
for sure. Yeah. Did she eat a fly or like
chase a fly?
Speaker 1 (17:54):
A fly? Probably not that off the top of my head.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
She said it was like a year ago. She's like, yeah,
there was a fly there. So let me let me
scan the rest of her body and see how she
Tommy's a little bit upset. I would say, like two
out of ten upset. Nothing to worry about. I mean
your vet. Yeah that's okay, Yeah, you get it more
than I do. But yeah, and then okay, and then
(18:20):
she's got a little bit of pain towards her tailbone
on the left side on that muscle. That makes sense,
and then it's kind of shooting down into her left hip. Okay,
it makes sense to you.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
That is Actually I was just telling the listeners this
is crazy because you were not here for this. But
she had a bullet in that and her thigh muscle
and her left leg.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Probably, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
I wonder she has anxiety. Yeah, you and so many
pets I talked to have severe anxiety, severe generalized anxiety disorder.
As you know, it's an epidemic in our country, just
like cancer. So I would love to know what do
you do to treat her her anxiety anything?
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Yeah, I mean she I wouldn't say she has generalized.
I think it's more situational in her case. But you're right,
I see a ton of generalized anxiety disorders and our pets.
She's not to the point where it's like, oh gosh,
we need to do medication. But we do a lot
of like positive reinforcement with her, and it's helped. Yes,
we do the thunder jacket.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
She's really of.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
Work for you, because that's so many people tell me, yes, no,
it doesn't work. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
It does work for her.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Her A lot of her anxiety stems around like loud noises,
which I guess she got shot, so that makes sense,
makes sense. So I find that, like with fireworks and thunderstorms,
that does make a big difference.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
Yeah, and are you a fan of CBD oil because
I tell everybody about it.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Yes, yeah, I like CBD for the longest time. As vets,
we couldn't really give it our blessing, but I have
had a lot of patients respond really well to it.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
I tell everybody about honest pause. Okay, they should pay
me for it, but they don't. But I but my
dog has severing and honest pause, it's the it's called calm.
It's peanut butter and oil in a jar, and it's fantastic,
Like it really helps this anxiety so perfect. Highly recommend.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
This is not an AD. And this is not an AD.
All right, Well we'll have to try it.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Py me after this, but no, it's.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Not exactly honest pause, give us a call. Yes, that's amazing.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
One thing I would love to know about her is
and I know you don't like to know too much,
but she was in Mexico when we found her.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
She was on the streets.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
I just like did she tell you anything about her
life before we adopted her.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
She's saying a lot of people actually feed her, so
that's good. She was very thirsty, she said, and she
had she had bugs, and so you helped her with
the fleas and the bugs and the means. Right.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Yeah, she had a tick born disease when we adopted her,
so that makes sense.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Oh my gosh. Yeah, she said, I've come a long way,
and I'm so grateful that you got me because I
wasn't going to survive. Yeah. Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
I can't cry on this podcast, but I might.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
That's okay.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
I'm used to that. So if you need to get
it out, that's you know, that's how you heal. That's
how we heal them too. Yeah. I love that she
is your little healer too. Do you get anxiety sometimes?
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Yes? I have terrible anxiety.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
So yeah, so she helps to heal your anxiety. So
let her up here. We carry our fear in chest stomach, right,
so let her up there. Look at them there, just bonded.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
So they love each other, they really do. And he's
a little picky, so he is very picky. What are
(21:45):
you feeling with him?
Speaker 3 (21:48):
My baby? Okay, biggie, can I talk to you, biggie?
I always ask permission, hie. Yeah, okay, bottom right gums
are sore? Okay, dental extraction or something there, like it
needs to happen. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yeah, he is due for a dental. He has heart disease.
Oh baby, So I am weighing the pros and cons
of putting him under anesthesia to do it. But that
makes sense. He is definitely due for a dental.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Yeah. Well, and he's seven, so most bets don't put
them under when they're over What twelve is that?
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Yeah? You know what kind of depends. I always tell
my owners. It's like I'm out of here. I always
tell my owners. You know, age isn't a disease. Every
dog is different. So if they're twelve and they're totally happy,
then that's not a reason not to put them under.
But of course we want to make sure we do
like all of our due diligence beforehand.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Of course, he's actually saying, not be okay with that,
like it hurts pretty bad. I would say, like seven
out of ten pain on that bottom right side, So
uh okay, let me see what else? Just go Actually, yeah,
same back left hip. It's a little bit sore. Uh,
that's weird. He just said elephant. Do you have like
(23:03):
an elephant, chuch key or do you love elephants?
Speaker 1 (23:06):
An elephant? No, I'd have to think about that.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Maybe you all were elephants in your past lifetime. I
don't know that.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Maybe it's possible. I feel like he could have been
an elephant. He's so tiny, but he's got like the
biggest heart. He does.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
Yeah, and then he's very protective of you. He goes
into every room you go into. Right, he's your little shadow.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
I mean that's the ultimate compliment, you know, as you know,
for a dog to do that. They protect us too.
In the bathroom, sorry, in the bathroom, they protect us.
Did you like wolves protect their other wolves when they're
going to the bathroom. Okay, that's what they That's what
dogs do for it.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Yeah, I cannot go to the bathroom without him.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Same right at my feet, right, same, my dog, my dog,
and my two cats are all like, this is my tribe.
But thanks guys.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Yeah, that's amazing. I guess it is like very animalistic
in the sense of like protecting their person. Oh yeah,
when you're at your most vulnerable in the bathroom for sure. Yeah,
anything about his life. I adopted him when he was gosh,
it's been also maybe about four years now getting any
(24:16):
sense of what his life was like beforehand.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
He showed me a lady he was not happy. He's
saying that she was a smoker like inside, and that
really hurt him, Like he hated the smell of it.
Did you know that?
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Or yeah?
Speaker 2 (24:30):
I knew that he had an elderly woman as his
owner previously.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Yeah, he loved her because he grew to love her
and they bonded. But he didn't feel healthy when he
was there. He didn't get good food either, And now
he's grateful for his good food that you give him.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
So, yeah, he's lost about ten pounds since I've had him.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
That's amazing. Do you have him on.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Fish, yes, yeah, salmon, he loves salmon, salmon flavored kibble
every once.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Yeah, he loves it like d Yeah, pray or prop
plan yep.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Yeah, his tummy is settled down. He showed me a
Do you take them hiking or on it like in
a wood wood a trail? Yeah, Yeah, they love that's
like their favorite thing ever. Okay, And then in the car,
like they'd love to go in the car with you.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Yeah. He loves to stick his head out the window.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Yeah. And did you get them like a Christmas stocking,
Christmas presence? Yeah, because that's what he's saying. He's saying,
thank you for that. That's like my favorite thing ever.
And then you celebrate birthdays too, right, Yes, okay, because
that's also their favorite memory. They're very grateful for that.
He loves his birthday. Okay, good to know. I'm like,
am I overdoing this?
Speaker 1 (25:38):
So okay? I love it?
Speaker 3 (25:40):
So many pet parents do it, so okay, And I
tell everybody that that's one of their favorite memories. Especially
when they talk to me when they're crossed over. They
always bring that through as one of their favorite memories,
like thank you for celebrating me, thank you for making
me a part of your family.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Amazing.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Does he?
Speaker 2 (25:57):
I mean he has pretty significant heart disease. Do you
Does he give you a sense of like understanding that
or feeling like limited in any way?
Speaker 3 (26:05):
No, he knows that, but he's like, I'm good, like
I don't see him going any tom soon. And I
can't say when that is. I can feel when they
feel really bad. He doesn't feel that bad to me.
He feels fine. He's a trooper. He's very optimistic.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Good because I need him to live for another one
hundred years. I know, right, all of our dogs, right,
that's amazing. I love that so much.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Anything else you want to say, she's very happy. Both
of them are very happy. They're talking about a black
dog and a white dog or those neighbor dogs that.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Yeah, we have a black that is so crazy. We
have a black and white doodle brother sister that live
in the backyard that.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Butt up to our yard.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
Yeah, they want to play with them.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Okay, okay, playdate. Good to know, all right, schule this mom?
That is crazy?
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Yeah? Ice cream? Did you give him dog ice cream?
Speaker 2 (26:58):
I didn't give them dog ice cream. My husband lets
them lick the ice cream out of his bowl.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
Okay, so they love it. Okay, and I have so
many dogs, you tell me that. But they have dog
ice cream now like frosty pas and also Ben and
Jerry's like pumpkin flavored ice cream.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
I'm fully aware. I cannot control my husband. He goes rogue.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
You can't do Oh god, I can't control these men,
can we? No?
Speaker 2 (27:19):
That's so funny. Okay, I'll have to let him know.
Now he's gonna be like, see, they.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Always tell me they love vanilla ice cream or you know,
like frosty pas or dog ice cream.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
So yeah, okay, I'll have to get the good stuff.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Then the good stuff. Amazing.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Do you wanna do an angel reading?
Speaker 3 (27:35):
I would love to.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Okay, So I need to show you a picture. Yes,
do I give you her name or how does that work?
Speaker 3 (27:42):
All I need is her name and how old she
was when she crossed over?
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Okay, let's see here. Her name was Luca Lucca.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
That reminds me of this. You're probably not old enough
to know Susie and Vega. No, my name is Luca.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Oh but yes, I know that's on this that was
from there. And how old was she?
Speaker 3 (28:04):
And she passed? She was eight?
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Okay, wow, this is her?
Speaker 3 (28:08):
Thank you? Oh my gosh, so beautiful, all sweet baby.
It's funny she looked older than eight. Know her face? Okay, gosh?
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (28:20):
And she had cancer, right, yes, yes, she had bone cancer.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
And of course you know, half of all dogs over
the age of ten get cancer. It's also an epidemic
in our country. So okay, and you put her down right.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
Yeah, she's saying thank you for that, because that was
the day she needed to go. She showed me a
red blanket, like a plaid blanket, Does that make sense.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Yeah, she wore she had a pink plaid coat that
I would put her in.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
Okay, so of course, you know, dogs can see blue,
gray and yellow, but so my spirit guides, her spirit
guides tell me other colors.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
I was close with the baby, yeah, very close.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
She liked that. She said that you took such good
care of her. And she slept in the in your bedroom, right, yes, yes,
in the bed. Yes, she loved it. Oh yeah, she's
sending you butterflies. Have you seen butterflies since her death? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Yeah, okay, yep, that's her little sign.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
Yeah, and they don't have to be real. They can
be anywhere, like on a license plate sticker, anywhere. So
she also just showed me rainbows and again, those don't
have to be real rainbows. Yeah, and used to sing
to her, right, oh yeah, not, well, that's okay, they
don't care. She actually absolutely loved it when you sang
(29:42):
to her. So that was one of her favorite things too.
And of course celebrating her birthdays and Christmas and all
that stuff. Okay, go what else do you want to say?
Little brown dog. She's with a little brown dog on
the other side. Does that make sense?
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Yeah, that makes total sense. That is my my dog
growing up Macy. Then they were together in the first
part of her life.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
Yeah, so they're together, they're watching over you.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
And then Lucas come to you in dreams. Do you
remember those dreams? Yeah? Yeah, she's saying something about the sink.
Did you like bathe her in the sink when chose
little or what is this the sink? If that makes sense?
That's so random the sink.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
I'd have to think about that.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
Okay, I tell people write stuff down. If that doesn't
make sense. Now, probably will.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Later wake up at three in the morning and be like, ah,
a sink.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
Or something will happen sometimes to see future stuff. So
maybe like she'll move something and like into the sink,
I don't know, like a soap dish or whatever. Yeah,
she's she was a goofy, goofy girl. I mean just
and just sparkly energy and loving, beautiful, healing energy. She
loved her little butt scratches as you did. Yeah, and
(30:53):
loved when you rubbed under her chin, and you did
take her hiking like you were really active with her, right.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Yes, yes, hit a lot of outdrectivities.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
She loved it. And did you take her on a book?
Speaker 2 (31:04):
She boat?
Speaker 3 (31:04):
She showed me water on a boat or where there
were boats, like a beach or lake.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Yes, we lived on Lake Michigan in Chicago, so we
go out on the beach a lot.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Yeah, she loved it.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
That was That's one of her favorite memories. Okay, what
do you want to ask her?
Speaker 2 (31:23):
I guess the big thing was just that, you know,
she felt like that was the right time when she went,
and it sounds.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
Like absolutely it was humans and animals. We actually planned
the exact day we're going to go before we even incarnate,
So that was you helped her carry out her life script.
So that was a good thing. And of course, you know,
you know, euthanasia is the most humane thing you can
do for sick animal.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Yeah. Absolutely, I always say it's a privilege. Yes, it's
still it was interesting being on the other side of
the equation and having to make the decision was really difficult.
So sure, but I'm glad that she feels like it
was the right time.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
For her to go.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
Yeah, and she said this was at home, did you. Yeah,
she's saying, thank you for doing it at home because
I felt a lot more safe and comfortable, and I
always recommend that to people.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Yeah, yeah, we did it at home.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
One thing I wanted to know is if she always
felt so guilty, because I felt like she hated living
in downtown Chicago. So I was just wondering, did she
do you get any sense of that from her? No?
Speaker 3 (32:29):
She I mean she was cold right in, but she's saying, no,
I wanted to be where my mom was, Like I
was her protector, her guard dog, her heeler, everything, like
she just she wanted to be where you are. And
that was okay, that was good with her. Good.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
That makes it.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
She did actually like the snow. Took her out in
the snow.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Yeah, yeah, she loved the snow.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
She's showing me pigeons too. Are their pigeons in Chicago?
I don't even know? Yeah, at the park, Okay, she
liked to watch the pigeons. That's funny, so cute. Yeah,
she just said hot dog. Did she forget a like
pick up a hot dog there? Probably at some point,
who knows?
Speaker 2 (33:05):
Yeah, And you can get anything off the street there, gosh,
probably anything with Mike my husband.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
He's funny. Yeah, he's very charming. Uh oh. I love Daddy.
I love to be near him. I like to watch
TV with him. And then she just said popcorn. Did
you give him for popcorn or yeah, he likes a
lot of popcorn. Yeah, okay, So she associates Dad with
(33:35):
popcorn and getting the popcorn and really liking that. But
of course she loves Dad for more than the popcorn. Right,
But that's like and she used to sit at his feet,
all right, or lay at his feet. Yeah, you love
doing that. Okay. She was definitely connected to both of you.
That relationship was very special to her both. Are your
(33:55):
relationships love that?
Speaker 2 (33:57):
Well?
Speaker 3 (33:57):
Thank you? Absolutely so beautiful. Do you want to ask
her anything else? By the way, By the way, I
have a dog, her biological dog, Mama crossed her over,
so she's not alone on the other side. Okay, wow,
And then I'm seeing her with other horses. So have
you had other horses that have crossed over that she's
been with or that she knew or maybe didn't know,
(34:20):
but now she's there with them.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
Yeah, that would makes sense.
Speaker 3 (34:22):
Okay, yes, we're all together, she says.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
I can't believe she's with Macie, my little dog, the
brown dog.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
That is so any people and animals you've been with
here who are now on the other side, they're going
to be around you and connected because we reincarnate a
soul groups, and a lot of times these animals come
back to us in the same lifetime. Like my childhood dog, Copper.
He came back as my dog right now. He looked
(34:50):
at me the second day I had him and he
said Copper, and I just started bawling because I knew
they act exactly alike.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
So, wow, yeah, do you have any sense of Sho'll
come back to me?
Speaker 3 (35:03):
I just heard eight I don't know if that's I
think that's eight years, so not for a while. Okay,
I do think she is going to come back. Okay,
they don't always know. I don't know how that works
because I've never been on the other side. But yeah,
I think she she wants to. They always want to. Wow.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Is that the same with humans?
Speaker 3 (35:22):
So usually they only reincarnate, you know, once a lifetime. Okay, yeah,
but there's no time and space on the other side,
like a blip, right, No, time at all. Right, Well,
and I believe that there's multiple timelines going on at
the same time. So there's no past, there's no future.
It's just all right now, all happening, happening simultaneously, different timelines.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
That's the whole of their talk show, right, Yeah, exactly. Wow,
I'm trying to think what else I should ask, Luca.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
It's just I should have come more prepared.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
No, it's okay.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
People usually ask me, you know, was she suffering? I mean,
you took such good care of her and knew exactly
what to do with her cancer. She loved her food,
she loved her life. She'd show me squirrels and birds
all dogs. Tell me that she was very happy. She
was she felt very blessed. Other than that, she's just
(36:27):
thanking you for the beautiful life you gave her, and
she's happy she sent these two. They came after her, right,
that one did at least? Yes, okay, yeah, so the
old pet is always responsible for bringing in the new pet.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
Okay, they tell me, Okay, wow, that's amazing. Yeah, well,
thank you, I love that so much.
Speaker 3 (36:49):
Yes, And Luca, by the way, is saying, don't be
so hard on yourself to do that a lot. Yes,
she's saying you're perfect just the way you are, and
you're amazed out what you do, and she's thanking you
for everything you do for the animals.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
Oh yeah, my gosh, right, that's so beautiful.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
I just believe that.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
Oh well, thank you. Yeah, she was so special to me.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
I got her this summer before I went to veterinary school,
so we packed up and drove to VET school together.
I'm not a wise decision getting a puppy before starting
vet school, but she was definitely with me.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Through the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
So she taught you a lot too. Yes, she's my
little teacher animal. I like practice blood draws on her
and all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (37:30):
She's laughing, She's like, yeah, I knew that was going
to happen. Yeah, it's all good.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
She was my little guinea pig, not so little, a
big great Dane guinea pig, a big baby, yes.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
But very special to me for sure.
Speaker 3 (37:43):
Well, thank you for letting me tune into her.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
You're so welcome.
Speaker 3 (37:46):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
Now, if people want to get a reading done by you,
is that something that has to happen in person? Is
that something that can be done virtually? How does that work?
Speaker 3 (37:57):
I can do it in person if they're in central
can can actually do a lot of barn visits with horses.
But I have clients all over the world, and I
consume with international clients. But people can just go to
www dot Talk to Pets dot Com and book either
a living pet session or a mediumship session, and so.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
It's like a virtual zoom call essentially, and they have
their animals with them or or.
Speaker 3 (38:19):
For international callers, but for domestic callers, it's just a
phone call and they can upload their pictures to my website,
the pictures of their pets. Okay, yeah, and he is
a picture to tune into any living or deceased pet.
Speaker 2 (38:34):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
And do you do the race horses in Kentucky.
Speaker 3 (38:38):
I've actually talked to American Pharaoh right before he raced
because I was friends with the lady where who owned
the farm where he was born. Okay, so that was
really cool, and I you know, I showed him that
they communicate with visual images. So I showed him, you know,
running as fast as he could and being you know,
before any other horsehead, right, and so you know who knows.
(39:02):
I mean, I believe they all can hear as animal
community heres but you know, I mean he was a
great horse.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
So he is a great horse. Yeah, it's one of
the best of all times. Yeah, he did it. So
that's amazing that it's.
Speaker 3 (39:13):
Cool to have that connection. Yeah, so cool. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
Well, I just think this is such an incredible gift
and I really appreciate you coming on and showing us
you know what you're able to do with this ability,
and just yeah, thank you for making the time.
Speaker 3 (39:31):
Yeah, thank you for having me.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
You're so welcome.
Speaker 4 (39:37):
All right, it's our favorite time of the week for
Paul and Order. Yes, that was so much fun getting
to have Carrie on here. And I feel like I
just want to have her come and I want to
talk to every animal that has ever been in my life.
Speaker 1 (39:50):
And just know what they're what they were thinking.
Speaker 3 (39:52):
I know.
Speaker 1 (39:52):
So amazing.
Speaker 2 (39:53):
I just think it's such a special gift and so cool.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
We're so lucky to have had her here today.
Speaker 4 (40:01):
All right, So, Pawn, Order, what is the what's happening
this week that we need to learn about? I learned
a lot last week, guys, of things I should not
be doing.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
So what's up for this week? All right?
Speaker 2 (40:10):
First on the docket we have I would not recommend
attempting to trim your pets toenails at home without getting
a demo from your veterinarian.
Speaker 1 (40:21):
First.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
Yes, I have seen a lot of blood baths, I
believe it at home. There's a big old vessel and
nerve that run down the middle of that nail. We
call it the quick and if you trim that toenail
back too short, you are going it's gonna look like, uh,
there's been a homicide in your house.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
It's not good.
Speaker 4 (40:39):
I'm sad to say I've done it before. Especially dogs
that have dark toenails. It's way harder to not make
sure that you don't hurt yourself or hurt them while
you're doing it. So yeah, definitely ask your vet or
take it to someone who knows what they're doing.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
Yeah, exactly, or a groomer.
Speaker 2 (40:52):
And if you do happen to trim your dog's toenails
too short and they are bleeding, you can always use
cornstar or baking flour. DA have that on the end
of the nail and that can help it the blood
clot and not bleed as much. Okay, thoughts on the grinders,
I don't mind them, the drum all grinders, Yeah, they're
they're fine. They make a loud noise. I think by
(41:15):
the end of it, if you can just trim the
nail with regular nail trimmers, I mean, it's usually a
little bit more quick and efficient. But if you want
to kind of round the edges and do the drumal,
go for it. Nice manicure. I know, like, is she okay? Okaz,
she's sneezing?
Speaker 1 (41:32):
Okay? All right? Next up on pawn order, all right,
next up.
Speaker 2 (41:37):
I would not use the flea, tick and heartworm prevention
that you can purchase online or at the pet store.
I see so many pets that come in with fleas
and ticks and heartworm because they are prevention was purchased
at the pet store. This is one area where you
do not want to save a few dollars. Get the
prescription stuff from your veterinarian. Absolutely is different and way
(42:01):
more effective.
Speaker 3 (42:02):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (42:03):
So although you may save a few dollars in the
short term, you will spend way way more trying to
treat heartworm disease and get rid of fleas. All right,
good to know, yes, because you see it there, you're
at the store, You're like, oh, I need to get this. Yeah,
one stop shop, don't do it.
Speaker 1 (42:18):
Yeah, and you have no idea. I mean it seems like,
of course it's going to work, just like the other
stuff does, but it really does not. So okay, good
to know, all right, what's up next?
Speaker 2 (42:26):
Last on the docket. I would not ignore my cat's
unusual bathroom habits. Cats in particular can have a lot
of lower urinary track disease, the boy cats specifically, and
it can be a life threatening emergency at times. So
if your kitty is ever straining tyrannate, vocalizing in the
litter box, if there's blood in their urine. This isn't
(42:47):
something where it's like, oh, I'll just give it a
day or two and see if it clears up on
its own. Call your vet right away and let them
know what's going on. Good to know.
Speaker 4 (42:54):
Yeah, we actually had something similar happen with our cat
and he had like a little kidney thing going on.
He's fine and we caught it quickly, but I can
imagine if we had to let it go, it would
not have been good. Yes, and mail cats love to
get stones and they're urethra and they become blocked and
that is life threatening. So any weird things going on
in the letterbox. Let your vet know yes for sure.
(43:15):
All right, Well, thank you guys so much for joining
