Nitika – Welcome Back Uschie

Shortly after our previous dog Uschie passed away in the summer, Greg and I saw a poster of Shephard/Husky X pups. I did take the number in case we wanted to call about them. I was not convinced yet that I was ready for another canine, but it felt ok for Greg to call once I did some energy work on myself. The delightful young lady told Greg that all the puppies were gone except for one and she was waiting to hear back from a lady that was interested in her. She spoke very highly of this pup and said that she would have kept her if she did not already have three dogs. Greg asked that she let us know if that person did not take the pup. We did not hear from her that weekend and Greg was convinced that the pup went to live elsewhere. I let him know that they may still be considering her and to trust in the process. If she was to be part of our Family, then she would be and if not, she won’t be. Messages were left on our voicemails that Thursday letting us know that the pup was still available, so we went to have a look at her the following day.

A Long Good-Bye…

German Shepherd Dog

Greg and Uschie came together when Uschie was just a puppy. Uschie won Greg’s heart when shecame right to him as he met the litter. She was a fantastic companion for Greg and they did much together i.e. hung out, pack trips with horses, horseback riding, adventuring, et al.

Uschie and I met about seven years ago. We hit it off rightaway. She accepted me fully as I did her. She was a dog that really knew who she was and expressed her love freely. She was a loving companion and teacher for me. She was so smart and so well-behaved. She was thrilled that Greg finally had a partner that loved dogs. Uschie warmed my heart!!

She was healthy right up until her thirteenth year. I usually get clarity on when to hold my courses in the spring and summer and then I send out newsletters by late winter/early spring. Last year, I was getting no clarity whatsoever. So I continued to sit with it and yet still no guidance as we moved into April. That month, Uschie started showing signs of constipation. She asked for remedies that are known to soften stool. I continued to do energy work with her. Near the end of April, I was walking with her around our pond when she directed me via animal communication to her intestinal area. As I intuitively looked within her, I saw that her innards looked very abnormal and I had an urgent sense from her to be checked by a Vet. It was as though we needed more information about her health. Greg made an appointment that afternoon and we got the news that she had abdominal tumours(believed to be cancerous). These tumours displaced her intestinal tract and rectum. Uschie wanted to go home and direct us as to what to do for her.
