Sharon with Jenny

“This soldier, I realized, must have had friends at home and in his regiment; yet he lay there deserted by all except his dog. I looked on, unmoved, at battles which decided the future of nations. Tearless, I had given orders which brought death to thousands. Yet here I was stirred, profoundly stirred, stirred to tears. And by what? By the grief of one dog.”

—Napoleon Bonaparte, on finding a dog beside the body of his dead master, licking his face and howling, on a moonlit field after a battle. Napoleon was haunted by this scene until his own death.”

LETTERS AND TESTIMONIALS FROM CLIENTS

Karen Koch's Dutch

Since Sharon’s communication with Dutch, I have noticed a number of changes in his behavior.  He seems more relaxed, as if he’s relieved that he’s told his story and we now understand.  He also seems more self-assured.  We have accepted that he is the “top dog” among our pets and he likes that we acknowledge it.  He is still apprehensive in certain situations, but he is a rescue dog and we are learning to let him be who he is and provide a safe place for him.

My husband, the skeptic, was won over by the detail Sharon provided and has since shared this experience with others.

Jan Naumer's Daisy

Hi Sharon. . .

Just wanted to let you know that you were right on target about Daisy’s health issues.

I took her to the area expert on greyhounds for the problems with her teeth and for a problem with her left leg that has developed just recently.

First of all, you sensed the major problem with her teeth was on the right-hand side and that extraction might be necessary. After an exam, the veterinarian said that an appointment for scaling was definitely in order and, quite possibly, removal of a back tooth on the right-hand side of her mouth.

You also indicated that you saw an image of Daisy’s leg on her left side developing a sprain or weakness, and that this was why she was removed from racing.  This did not make any sense to me at the time.  However, a week ago Daisy and I were walking with the greyhounds group in the March on Meth Parade when Daisy began limping and kind of throwing her left leg to the side.  I quickly checked her foot and could find nothing.  Right after that the limp got worse and she simply collapsed on the left rear side.  My veterinarian said that she would guess that Daisy was removed from racing because of a spasm just like the one she had in the parade.  Again, you were right.

You had also said that you sensed a spinal problem.  We had digital x-rays done that showed two discs, close to the end of the spine, were spaced closer than normal.  The vet indicated that this is most likely what is causing the spasms.  So, you were right again.

Just wanted to let you know how accurate your communication was.  Also, if you want to use this as a testimonial, feel free to do so.

Your grateful customers,

Jan and Daisy

Carrie Woldin's Odie Beau

After Sharon communicated with Odie, I feel so much more relaxed—more able to let go.  As for Odie, he is feeling better after telling Sharon he is willing to take pain medication which he is now on.  And I have changed his food—upon his request—and he is now eating again.

I am very grateful for Sharon’s help in this matter.  Her session was very accurate and I appreciate her ability to know just the right questions to ask.  I also was struck with her sincerity and obvious love of animals.  Most of all, I am relieved knowing that I can let Odie pass on the way he wants.  The whole family is in a better place because of this communication.  Thank you Sharon!

Paul and Laura Impellizzeri's Guinness

Because we now understand “where our pets are coming from,” we have a household more at peace.  Knowing what role they each see each other in has helped us to understand why they do what they do.  For example, we now know that Guinness has been grooming Bandit for her role as Paul’s dog and protector of the household.  I can now see this in her behavior and reinforce it.  What is most amazing is that since Sharon’s communication Bandit has had no more accidents in the house.  Bandit told Sharon that she wanted more of Paul’s time and attention, and we now realize that the accidents were her way of getting that attention!  We look forward to future sessions.  Thank you Sharon!

Barbara Grille's Jill

Dear Sharon,

I am astounded at how fast Jill is improving. We took her hiking Friday and every time she went to start savaging a tree, we said no and she stopped immediately. She could not be stopped prior to our last session. She is also better adjusted at home and is not so clingy. She seems much more balanced and secure. She used to kill the birds that flew into the window and were stunned. Now I say no and she leaves them alone.  I am so glad that you were able to communicate with her and tell her that her bad behaviors were not pleasing us.  Jack is also happier.  Jill is not ambushing him every time he comes through the door.  We are also giving him more dog biscuits, as he requested through you. Thank you so much for your help. Jill thanks you too. We are all so much happier, now that her compulsive behaviors are under control.

Sincerely,

Barbara

Barbara Grille's Jack

Hi Sharon,

Jill just keeps on improving.  She is getting much more affectionate and loyal.  Both she and Jack keep looking at us with a very knowing face. Jack is getting more dog biscuits and loving it. The only behavior that is still out of control is their over-zealous jumping on any one who comes through the door to visit. After a few minutes they are fine, but they do put people off with that behavior.   Perhaps we will schedule another session to address this issue.  Thanks again for your help.

Lorese Harper's Scooter and Harley

Dear Sharon,

I just wanted to let you know how dramatically our dogs’ behavior has changed since our sessions with you.  They have stopped having accidents in the house and we are able to enjoy their company indoors more.  We even allow them freedom to roam from their crates at night because we know they will not mess in the house.  Also, Harley is much better when we are walking.  He is interested in cats, squirrels, and other dogs, but no longer aggressive.  This is amazing.  The biggest change I see is Harley smiling a lot more.  He still has a concerned look at times, but I reassure him that “all is well.”  I call him “Happy Harley” because he is so different now.

Thank you for your help.  You are very gifted and talented with your insights, and your communication was “right on the mark!”  I will recommend you to anyone who is in need!

Sincerely,

Lorese Harper

Janice Farnsley's Hershey and Kisses

Hi Sharon:

I am so impressed with how my cats have changed since working with you.  It’s been nearly a month since our telephone session.  I wanted to contact you sooner to let you know, but I’ve been waiting to see how Kisses’ behavior changes would hold or whether she would revert to former patterns.  I am happy to say that the changes have stuck.

First of all, I must say you really “nailed” both of my cats and their personalities in our conversation on the phone.  Hershey is definitely the Little Man of the House and my protector and a care taker for Kisses.  Kisses is The Princess and thinks the world should revolve around her.  You certainly “picked up” on both of them just like you’d actually met them.

You gave me confirmation of what I have sensed myself and several others have said to me:  Hershey is an Old Soul and he is revisiting me.   He has always acted with me exactly like a previous cat named Merlin.  Both of them want to protect me and be the Man of the House.  Merlin warned me two different times of people with bad intentions and saved me from potential bodily harm.  Hershey always wants to be between me and other people and insists that I be holding him whenever a man is in the house, such as a plumber or repairman, next-door neighbor or my brothers stopping by, etc.

Thanks for your suggestions about Hershey’s diet.  I made the changes we talked about and he has done much better regarding hair balls and the subsequent puking on the floor after he eats.  No more kibble food for Hershey; high protein canned food and real meat/fish for him thanks to you.  Seems to be a good change for Hershey.

Kisses has not peed on the area rug in the living room since our phone session.  I’m sure you were right.  I had been giving so much attention to Hershey and his health issues the past months that Kisses was wanting attention.  So she peed on the rug —not because she was sick or anything and there was nothing “wrong” with the litter box.  Just like you said, she just knew that peeing on the rug would get my attention.  She uses the litter box again now.

In our session, you said Kisses wants to be more of a “confidant” and “companion/counselor” to/for me.  She has always been an affectionate kitty.  But the past month she has been like “Little Miss Velcro Cat” and can’t be more than 5 feet away from me.  When I go from room to room, she follows me.   When I sit down at the computer, she jumps up on the desk and curls up near me.   She is “under my feet” all the time, so much so that I have stepped on her a few times in the kitchen while preparing meals.  Even so she doesn’t seem to mind it.  While gardening in my flowers, she is so close that I’ve spilled shovels of soil on her.  When I walk to the mailbox, she follows me down the driveway.   This evening I walked over to my next-door neighbors and Kisses tried to follow me to their yard.  She insists on sleeping on top of me now, which she never did before.

One reason I’ve been delaying writing to you is I wanted to wait and observe her with the dogs next door and make sure I could believe what I saw.  As I told you, Kisses would get “hissy” with the neighbor dogs, going right up to them and getting “spatty” and confrontational—-she would take on any dog, any size, who came near her.  In our phone call, you suggested to Kisses that she might assume the attitude of just ignoring the dogs.

Well, she did exactly that.  Three days after our phone call, Kisses was lounging in the sun on the rock wall in our back yard.  John opened their back door and the 2 dogs darted outside and headed straight for my yard in their usual “yipping” tirade.  I immediately looked at her to see how she’d react.  Kisses looked up, saw them coming and walked casually toward our patio door.  I stood there watching her and was shocked.  Previously, she would have gone right up to them, puffed up as big as she could, spatting and hissing and smacking those dogs in the face.  But she just casually walked to the patio and ignored them!  The dogs circled her while she walked across the yard, barking and prancing around.  When they realized she was not going to be involved with them, they lost interest in her and went back to their own yard, just as you had said they would.

About a week after our phone call, another dog came through our yard, an adult dog sort of a Boxer type of dog.  Again, she ignored him.  He came over and sniffed at her.  But she turned and stuck her tail in the air and walked over to where I was and lay down on my feet for me to rub her belly.

She has had several opportunities the past 3 weeks to run over and fuss at Kobe, the big Akita dog next door.  But when he is outside in his yard, Kisses has not gone over to spat at him again.

Our phone session was extremely beneficial and I am very grateful for your help.

You have my permission to use any of my comments in this or other e-mails that I’ve sent to you.

Janice Farnsley's Hershey and Kisses

Dear Sharon,

Kisses continues to behave well when dogs come around barking and being obnoxious.

Just this evening when she and I and Hershey were in the backyard doing some late evening planting and watering, two dogs who are new to the neighborhood (there’s a new house being built in back of us and the workers bring their dogs with them), came over and starting barking and prancing around.  Kisses TOTALLY IGNORED THEM just like you suggested she should do.   She walked over to the patio and lay down by the sliding door.

On the other hand, Hershey, her brother and as you said in our phone call, MY LITTLE “MAN” chased the dogs away.  The dogs actually tucked their tails and ran away without further confrontation.

This is amazing!!!!

Terra Sonora's Fluffy

Dear Sharon,

I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your help over the past couple of months.  It gave me so much peace of mind knowing that Fluffy wanted to make a gentle transition on her own at home rather than with veterinary assistance.  Recently, I listened to our first session again and it made me cry.  She was such a special cat, and having done a communication at this time in her life is even more meaningful now that she is gone.

I also want to let you know that the new kitties are doing so well.  I am so glad that I chose Jack and Lily (now Liam and Mon Cheri) upon Fluffy’s advice.  I can tell they really are soul mates, just like you said.  And having you tune into each of the kitties I was considering at the humane society was such a good idea.

I am so glad I trusted my immediate feeling that you were the person I needed to hire.  You guided me through a very intense time of transition, and your insights made all the difference in the world for me.  I’m so grateful for your profound gift, and I will recommend you to every animal lover I know.

Thank you for everything.

Sincerely,

Terra Sonora

Judy O'Higgins's Baxter

Dear Sharon,

Here’s a big THANK YOU from me and from Baxter for helping us communicate!  After our phone session Baxter has steadily improved.  Instead of running away with the ball he now comes and drops it at my feet!  He doesn’t run out of the front gate anymore either.  You really must have gotten through to him about how absolutely frightening it is for me when he runs off.  I just wanted to let you know that I loved our session and we so appreciate you!

Shari Scott's Mittens

Sharon communicated with my cat Mittens.  I loved hearing how he felt about things and having him tell Sharon his habits (that she couldn’t have known).  Also, Mittens is now resisting his impulses to bite me when I am petting him.  He had one “slip up,” and he let go immediately and seemed so apologetic!  This is so surprising to me, because in the communication when Sharon asked him to stop biting me, he said “I’ll think about it.”  I also feel less willing to give him away now (due to our allergies) since he was so adamant about being our cat and having “a mission” with us.  This experience was fun, very informative, and to my surprise, really brought about a change in my cat’s behavior.
