Part 1 of - "A Dog's Spiritually-filled Prayed-for Prescription"
Hello ...
I would like to share with you on today's blog...
Another spiritual experience, that had occurred in my life...
Which had strengthened my believe...
Concerning the fact -
That - NOT ONLY...
Are - "ALL" forms of - Life, and Natural Wonders, on this planet,
(No matter "Who" or "What" they are)
Be they - Human, Animal, Reptile, Plant , or even Insects....
To "ALL" be looked upon and treated,
With Love, Care, and Respect...
Along with... of course... the whole planet... that we all live, & dwell, together on...
As we are "All" playing an important part,
In maintaining the Overall Environmental-balance;
Of Multiple Natural Wonders
But today's story is also based on... how it has come to be...
That my husband and I also know....
Beyond a shadow of a doubt...
That The -
"Powerful, and Loving Creator"
Of this Whole Universe....
And therefore -
The Creator of "All" of the living creatures...
That are dwelling here, on this planet with us
Is Obviously...
Wanting All of us (Every Living Person) to continually -
"Take Good Care Of"...
And thereby - Respect and Help....and hence sometimes "Rescue"
Any of
"Their"
Creations
Whenever they're currently in need of assistance.
And of course....the lesson....
Concerning -
"Just How Important, the Well-being of Every Living Creature"
(Including our domesticated pets)
"Truly Is"....
Through the eyes of -
Our Creator
Was "Powerfully Demonstrated" to My Husband & I ... & others...
Through our Dog Malibu...around six months, after her passing.
Which is why "Her Life"
(Hence - the life, of one of our dogs)
Is the bases, of this -
"Spiritual Related to An Animal"
Miraculous moment...
That I would like to share with you today.
Below is a picture of Malibu, 2 months prior to us adopting her into our home
Malibu had brought many years of joy into our life...
As she was always ready and willing...
To "Give" her full-love... and true-affection... to any person that she met...
(Which is why she had enjoyed working, as a therapy-dog in Senior-care-facilities)
Just as much as she was always ready and willing
To be on the - "Receiving End"....
Of any kind affection...
Including, as shown in the photo below, when it (the affection) came in the form of -
Groom-pampering...and tummy rubs)
Unfortunately though
Malibu had continually suffered from,
One major health issue;
Which was ongoingly being caused,
And was then (to make matters worse) being strongly intensified every Spring;
Through her high allergy levels.
As She was Allergic Not Only to - a multitude of certain dog foods;
Along with the safe to eat (for other dogs) table treats from us.
But she also... had an "Extremely Severe" allergy reaction,
To the pollen on the trees.
(And especially the really big southern oak ones, during the early spring months)
Which was the reason why -
Every spring,
When the big oak trees,
Located in the Sarasota Florida area
(Which was where we would be residing in the winter,
And early spring months)
Would ongoingly be causing a yellow blanket of pollen,
To form on top off the sidewalk areas;
And park lawns, etc.
That this meant, that the high density of oak pollen, was going to be located -
Wherever we would be either walking Malibu;
Or perhaps where she would be wanting to lay down,
And be sunning herself.
& That hence - she would suddenly be having major "Allergy" health issues.
And so -
Although I wouldn't be able to see the first signs of the pollen,
When it would start to fall from those huge southern oak trees;
I would still know, that springtime was now upon us,
Since Malibu would suddenly be chewing her paws raw again!
While also continually scratching at her ears,
As they'd be filling (during that time period) with a really thick ear-wax!
And hence the reason why - While other people would look at spring;
As being a lovely blossoming time of the year.
I myself, would hear the words - "Spring is Here"
And suddenly be thinking of -
A dog with serious ear problems,
Combined with her chewed up raw-paws; and sore eyes!
Followed (of course) by lots of vet bills;
So that we could purchase the proper medications; and ointments...
In order to be able, to treat and hopefully sooth, her allergy affected areas.
Hence we were (of course) really glad,
When almost 15 years ago now,
The vet in Sarasota (whom we took Malibu to)
Informed us that -
There was currently,
A brand new allergy-medication;
That had just recently come out of its testing stages,
And was now available on the prescribed (only by a vet) medicinal market!
Along with the knowledge that -
It was in fact made up of,
100% completely natural ingredients.
And that it was therefore -
Totally safe (with no side effects at all) for any dog that took it.
And so....of course -
We were not only, game for giving this new (on the market) medication a try!
But we were..
Extremely happy to find out,
Within a very short time period;
That the medication did in fact
Work really well for her.
With the end results -
Being that -
She was no longer chewing on her paws;
At all!
(and not even in the heavy-pollinating springtime)
Which meant that she could now....just lay back and enjoy, her regular pedicures...
As I was no longer needing to de-wax her ears.
& She was obviously not stressed out, at all, now, whenever I was salon-pampering her.
We had been told -
When the medication was prescribed for us -
That it was "NOT" something, that we could just periodically give her.
But rather
In order for the allergy medication to work properly -
Malibu, had to continually take the medication everyday.
(just like any other dog that was on that particular medication had to do)
Whether her allergies were acting up, or not;
In order for it (this new medication) to be able to continually work.
Which meant that it didn't take very long,
Once the word had gotten out;
To all of the U.S. animal-clinics;
Concerning how great this new medication actually was!
Along with the knowledge of how quickly, it actually worked!
For there to suddenly be,
A -
Serious supply & demand problem, associated with it.
As the manufacturer of this new medication,
Was simply unable to keep up with;
The suddenly high-number of requests for it,
From a multitude of different veterinarian clinics!
Because....as we all know...
Once anybody finds something, that they know for sure, will help them with an illness;
They'll be wanting to be receiving it... and to continue to have it...
Just as the dog below... knows it is going to want that stick... before it's even thrown..
And so he's therefore... not going to let his owner throw it, in the first place.
Which was "when"
(and of course "why")
That allergy medication supplier...
Suddenly had to tell all of the Veterinarians, to quickly put a "Temporary" rule in place -
Stating that -
The people who "ALREADY" had their pets on that medication;
And had shown that it was in fact working well for them.
Would be aloud, to continue to be prescribed,
The required amount of refills for their pet.
But that -
NO NEW PETS,
Were to be started up on it,
Until the supplier was able to keep up with....
Not Just - the present high demand for it...
But to also Enable the supplier - to become stocked up Enough in it,
That they would be able to meet the request
For "All" (any) of the Veterinarian animal-hospital's "New-patients".
Which is why,
Suddenly now...
The vet that had gotten Malibu started on that particular allergy medication;
Was the only clinic, that we could get any of our ongoing refills from;
Since no other clinic, would be aloud to start up,
Any "New" prescription for it!
Which meant that we,
For the time being;
Would be having to ask the Veterinarian that was located in Sarasota...
Who had started Malibu on the allergy medication...and had then been refilling it.
To please give us,
A full "Six month" supply of that medication;
Prior to us leaving Sarasota.
Around the end of April each year;
As that would be the time period when,
We would be busy loading everybody (and everything) back into the motorhome...
And be heading back up north,
To our summer cottage.
And so - it would've been - around 6 years ago... back then;
Back when we'd left Sarasota at the end of that April;
With enough prescribed allergy-medication on hand for Malibu,
To last us until we arrived back down there again; in late Oct.
When all the autumn leafs... on the trees up north, have begun to fall.
That the Following Event had unfolded -
Because - Unfortunately - that was the year when -
Malibu came down with a serious health problem
Two and a half months - after we'd reached our Northern Summer-residence.
(and the problem(s) she had, were not "At All" linked to,
Or caused by,
Either -
Her allergies
Or the natural-medication she was currently on)
& hence -
It would have been,
Around "almost" 2 weeks,
Of us trying to fight this illness;
And hopefully find a cure for her.
While having her put on both pain medication; and antibiotics.
That we ended up losing her!
(As we could obviously,
Not have her Continue to be suffering,
With what we knew, by this point in time,
Could unfortunately not be cured;
And so we'd opted to have her suffering end,
Comfortably for her; via veterinary-medication assistance)
During the six months,
Following us losing Malibu.
I'd Completely forgotten -
As we were ongoingly adjusting,
To us no longer having her here with us.
That I still had - "3 Full Months" of her allergy medication;
Tucked away in the side pocket of our dog travel bag;
That we would always use whenever we traveled - or went away on short ventures,
& - of course - Whenever we did either - our north or south bound trips
I had though - Immediately....
On the same day that we'd lost her...
Disposed of the "one" (Half full) pill-bottle, that I had here in our kitchen...
As it had already, been taken out of the pet travel bag,
So that I could give it to her each morning... And so it was currently
Located, on the day we'd lost her...
Where I would see it everyday, on the same kitchen shelf;
Where we kept all of the regular dog food.
& Then - If We Now - Fast forward - & Jump ahead three months following that day...
When I'd disposed of that half filled bottle of medication...
We're now - in late October;
Where I was "Once Again"... going through,
The dog travel bag;
And cleaning it out,
So that I could get ready for our next trip south;
With our other 2 dogs...
& it was - as I was reaching into, the dog-travel bag,
& While proceeding to empty it...
That I pulled out - those three months worth of medication -
That I'd Completely Forgotten I Still Had
And - Of course -
My immediate "Thoughts" at that very moment were -
"Well I might as well just throw these 3 bottles of pills out,
Since we obviously
Won't be needing them anymore"
(And we don't know Anyone else that was having any allergy issues with their pet...
And our other two dogs obviously don't need them)
At which point,
I suddenly heard -
"THE VOICE"
That carries "No Sound"...and yet you can still "Actually Hear"
"IT"
Clearly speaking to you...
(and which I had by now,
During the last 40 years,
Gotten accustomed to "Hearing" from)
Saying to me -
"No Mary" -
"Do Not Throw Them Away"
"Just Leave Them In The Bag... as -
"I"
Will Be Telling You, Who You Are To Give Them To"
And so.... of course,
As I,
(Like I had mentioned a moment ago)
Had by now
(At this point in my life)
Gotten used to "Periodically"
Being told what I was to do.
Through the "Spiritually-Spoken" Words of My-
"Boss Upstairs"
I then... just quickly
(with no responsive "Why" questions being asked)
Placed the three bottles of allergy medication;
Back into the side pocket of the travel bag.
And then just simply,
Continued on with the tasks at hand;
Which was cleaning the house,
And continuing to prepare, to travel south in a few weeks.
(Like as if nothing out of the ordinary had just happened,
When I had heard, and then followed, the dog-medication packing instructions)
We left our northern-located cottage-home.
And headed down to our winter destination in Sarasota Florida;
A few weeks later.
(Following my putting the allergy-medication back into the bag that day.)
And I "Never",
Not even "once, again",
Thought of those bottles of allergy medication,
Being in the side pockets of it;
During the full time that we were down south in Sarasota.
That is,
Until around five months later,
On the morning that I was now -
Busy getting ready to head back up north again; in a few weeks.
As our seasonal-time in Sarasota, would soon,
Be coming to an end.
And so, of course -
I was once again,
Cleaning house,
And also going through everything in the dog's travel bag;
While I was beginning to prepare for our upcoming
Northbound-road-trip;
Just like I would ritualistically be doing,
Prior to any other trip.
Which hence -
Lead to my,
Once again,
Pulling those three months worth,
Of allergy-medication pill bottles,
Out of the side pockets of the dog's travel bag.
At which point,
I once again, said (out loud) to myself -
"Oh,
I totally forgot ,
That I still have these pills"
"And I still don't know, what I am supposed to do with them"
At which point -
And actually...at almost the very same moment,
That I spoke those words out loud to myself....
I suddenly heard -
While also
At that very same moment... that I heard those
"Silent-spoken" - "Spiritual-words"
Began to -"Unexplainably-feel"
Those tingling goosebumps - and a -
Overpowering Loving-aura
Coming upon, and blanketing, my whole body;
Which is a sensation that I have found over the years,
I will usually experience,
Whenever I hear my -
"Boss Upstairs"
Spiritually speaking directly to me -
(And just as clearly,
As the words had been spoken to me,
Nearly six months ago now,
During the last moment in which,
I had held these same 3 bottles of pills in my hand;
And was back then, being told to just leave them in this travel bag)
&
"THEY"
Spiritual Said to me -
"No, do not throw them away...
Just turn & Put Them In Your Purse...
For -
"I"
Will Soon , Be Telling You, Who You're To Give Them To"
And so just like before,
(Back when I had - six months ago then...
Listened to the -
"SPIRITUAL VOICE"
And had placed the pills back into the dog travel bag)
I Now - Just Calmly - Turned around; in the laundry-room
And quickly placed them into the side pocket of my purse.
As it was currently just sitting there,
On the back counter,
Of the laundry room, where I was presently working;
At sorting through, and packing, everything for the upcoming road trip.
I then just continued on again,
With the task at hand.
While never thinking back at -
What had just happened,
or - What instructions, I had just heard being
"Spiritually-spoken"
to me,
Or even -
What I had done in response to what I had heard.
As I was basically....to busy at the moment,
To bother to stop, and try and figure out,
Why I've Been
"Spiritually-told"
To put the 3 bottles of allergy medication into my purse?
And besides,
I knew that things would just remain quiet again;
And that I would likely not hear
"THE SPIRITUAL VOICE"
Again;
That is - Until the moment came when
"IT"
Would eventually decide to tell me,
What I was in fact,
Going to be doing - "Next";
With those 3 bottles of dog allergy medication.
Yup
I had by this point in my life,
Finally learnt,
(as well as, come to accept the fact)
That if I just did...
As the
"Boss Upstairs"
Has told me to do;
The "VERY FIRST TIME" that -
"IT"
Has either instructed, or asked, me to do something...
That my-
"Spiritual Guide"
Would likely not be talking to me
In a extremely -
LOUDER SPIRITUAL-VOICE
(like what I have experienced a few times in the past)
!!!!
Because I had "Foolishly"
(or perhaps "Stubbornly" on a few occasions)
Gone and ignored
"Them"
The first time.
When
"They"
Had told me,
What it was
That -
"I Was - Supposed to do".
You know - It's kind of funny, but -
As I type those words - right now;
It makes me almost wonder,
If like any other child,
That - I simply knew, as I have learnt while growing up, that it was always wise;
To not be spoken to,
For -
A quote - "THIRD" time
By your -
"Parenting-figure"
Anyway - Moving Forward - & Before Going off-track Again -
It Would've Been-
By the time that - I Had (on that particular day)"Finally",
Gotten Everything Completed,
That I'd been wanting (and hence hoping) to get accomplished that day.
That I'd -
TOTALLY FORGOTTEN-
That I'd placed the 3 pill bottles of dog allergy medication...
In the side-pockets,
Of my purse.
Back When - my -
"BOSS UPSTAIRS"
Had very clearly -
"Spiritually-instructed"
Me, to do so
Which Explains why -
When my husband and I decided to go out for awhile.
And run a few errands; nearer to the end of that day.
That it had never crossed my mind,
While we were out...
That the pet allergy medication was currently in my purse
Now - it was just shortly after,
We'd finished running all of those, end of the day errands,
That we've originally set out to do;
And we're now heading back towards our home.
That I suddenly noticed that -
The department store,
Where I purchase my makeup from;
Was "quickly" coming up on the right hand side, of the road.
And so hence -
I quickly "Told",
(as I didn't have time to "Politely Ask" before we reached the turn off)
My husband to - Make a "Quick Right", at the next light;
And to head into that department store's parking lot.
Of course
As we pulled into the parking lot,
He then proceeded to ask me,
What I was wanting to stop here for?
To which I responded -
That I NEEDED to purchase,
Some of my cosmetics.
And that - This was the ONLY STORE that I could get them from
(as no other store in the area carried the brand I used)
In other words - This is (was) a non-optional non-negotiable scenario....
And so - I NEEDED TO stop-and-shop here.
After parking the car,
And then,
With myself heading into the store; alone.
While my husband waited for me to return.
I quickly went straight over to the makeup counter,
That carried the brand that I use.
I then explained to the lady working at the counter,
What I was needing at the moment;
And that any of my information,
That would be required to make sure that I got the correct items,
Would all be in their computer system;
As I'd purchased it, from this store in the past
I then just stood there,
Waiting,
While she proceeded to look up the information on her computer;
So that she could get me the items, that I was asking her for.
And it was while I was standing there;
& the cosmetologist who was serving me,
Was currently looking up the required information.
That suddenly - My
"Spiritual Boss Upstairs"
Spoke to me.
And I knew that it was my Main -
"Spiritual Boss"
(& Hence the quote -
"Boss"
and
"Spiritual-leader"
Over All)
That was speaking to me
Right this minute.
(and not just an - Angelic-messenger)
For it was (as I've explained before) as -
"They"
Began to -
Spiritually-speak
to me,
At that very moment;
That I suddenly felt -
A WAY STRONGER THAN NORMAL
"Surging-tingling Spiritual Sensation... of those "Spiritually-Loving-goose-bumps",
All At Once,
Blanketing my whole Entire Being!
Both "Inside" of my mortal shell,
As well as - "Over Top" - of my being.
The very moment that,
"THEY"
Began to Spiritually-say -
"Mary...
TURN - AND YOU WILL SEE -
WHO THE MEDICATION IS FOR"
At which point,
I then turned,
And noticed right away...
