I have just had an amazing week and a half with many messages from four animals as well as a birthday.
First, a dear friend's dog Ty who had pancreatic cancer gave me the opportunity to see that he could handle death gracefully with honor, love, and respect for himself and his owners. I have had two dogs that I had to assist in leaving because of their acute and painful diseases. The need to help them leave seemed unquestionable. I had the vet come to my house and friends surrounded the dog each time in prayer and love, as I held each dog as they left. However I had not had the experience where the animal had been kept out of pain with pain killers, and the dying process was left to the dog's own divine timing. Ty got weaker each day and left on his own accord, giving his owners the grace and time to adjust to his leaving and allow him to be the ultimate decision maker. There was no trauma for Ty. Although sad and we all miss him, the opportunity to experience life and death on a new level has been very healing for all of us. An important message.
My next message came from a frog that adopted me and my pool. I am in a period of growth and rebirth in my life and had just spent some time with some friends talking about changes I want to make. That night I got home and heard a very loud croaking noise that drew me outside to my pool. And lo and behold there was a frog about three inches long making an extremely loud noise on the inside of my pool. After the shock of never seeing a frog in the thirteen years I have lived here, I went inside to consult the animal spirit messages website to learn the meaning of frog medicine:
Reminder of the common bond between all life
Transformation
Cleansing
Understanding emotion
Rebirth
Abundance
Wow....all of those messages applied to me at this time. The common bond between all life is a major theme for me. And it was so amazing to me that this creature showed up just as I was beginning to contemplate my own transformation and rebirth and understanding my emotions around it. Also my body has been reminding me that a cleanse would be a wonderful thing to do at this time. Each night as it got dark I could hear this wonderful frog's loud call. Even my next door neighbors heard him. One of my dogs is a terrier, and she loves water and anything that makes a noise and moves. I have had to carry her in and out at night to do her business because she would love nothing more than to play with and chase the frog.
Thank you, Frog for your presence and these messages!
Last but not least, on my birthday I telephoned a wonderful astrologer who is also an animal lover. She has a particular fondness for birds. While on the phone with her, a huge crow flew over to my window and stared at me for at least a minute. I know that Crow medicine is magic; here is what I read about it:
"Crow medicine is the guardian of ceremonial magic and healing. Crow guides the magic of healing and the change in consciousness that will bring a new reality and dispel dis-ease or illness. Crow also takes away the old".
That message was also exciting for me since I have been working on healing my shoulder and have recently done stem cell to promote cartilage growth to help bone-on- bone. And a little magic in life never hurts!
Thank you Crow for your wonderful message.
While still on the telephone, a hummingbird came to the window, looked at me, and stayed a few seconds. Not looking for food, just looking at me through the office window. Hummingbird medicine is also powerful:
Ability to fly into small places and heal
Joy
Happiness
Love
That message seemed very real and in sync with what I am striving for. Feeling joy and happiness everyday is a wonderful goal and coupled with love, I couldn't have asked for a better Birthday message.
Thank you Hummingbird for this Birthday message!
I encourage you to notice the important messages these creatures carry for us. Many cultures throughout the world recognize the important knowledge animals bring to us. So if you want to look them up for yourselves, here is the website:
