 40 Magickal Fantasy Writer Laura Stamps: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Please be advised that this show is metaphysical in nature.  It was very exciting to be able to discuss feral cat rescuing with a fellow feral cat lover!  I guess that is what makes this show really spark!  This week’s guest is author Laura Stamps and her profile is quite impressive!  She loves to write novels but also enjoys poetry writing, so be sure to check out both of her web sites for a complete list of her published works.

Here is a summary of what we discussed:

1. Feral Cat Rescuing
2. Connecting with your pet
3. How she started writing and painting
4. Zodiac Signs
5. Dangers for animals during 4th of July time

I hope you enjoy the show!

This show was so good and so intense that we went over our time limit!  This week, we had three special guests with us:  singing/music talents Maria Daines, Paul Killington and animal activist/video talent Mary Alice Pollard all from the UK.  We discussed so many great things that I am just going to have you listen to find out what they were!  I will tell you this; it is SO worth listening to!  They are such warm loving people; it was my pleasure to spend 2 hours chatting with them!  We could have kept right on going, but seeing as they are 5 hours ahead of us, I am sure they were getting a wee bit tired.  I am sure we will see them again on The Pawz Cauze!

This week’s show sponsor is Maria Daines and her newly released CD Music For The Animals. (click on the link to order your copy today, ALL proceeds go to animals in need of help).

This CD is packed full of songs written and performed by Maria and Paul.  It shows how big their hearts truly are.  On behalf of all the aniamls in the world and The Pawz Cauze, I am VERY proud to have Maria Daines and Paul Killington as one of our main sponsors!

Thank you both for all of your hard work and dedication to helping the animal kingdom! 

Thank you so much for listening to my show!

 13 Understanding Animals: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

WARNING: This show is metaphysical in nature but has GREAT information in it.  Even though we started out talking about meditation and how to connect your spirit with that of your pets’, my guest, Rev. Brenda Bates and I also discussed may topics including Breed Specific Legislation!  I know, that one keeps popping up a lot in my podcasts!  I think I am going to start making it a basic part of every show!

This was a very fun show to do as I had one of my closest friends on the show today as my guest plus it was the first show I was able to do completely in my studio!  All of my other shows have been phone and online interviews or I went to them.  You will get to know me better and hear how I relate to my friends.  Brenda and I laughed a great deal and actually forgot we were doing a show!  The discussions we have are ones that we discuss frequently and in depth.  The passion in our voices is real.  This is the most relaxed real interview I have done thus far.  I do hope you enjoy it.

If you have further questions for Brenda you can visit her web site or contact her via email.  Both addresses are provided for you at the end of the podcast.  Have a GREAT Holiday Season everyone, no matter what your personal spiritual beliefs may be.

This week’s sponsor is Rebekah’s Crossroads in Houghton Lake, Michigan.  This is a spiritual store that is expanding to online service.  Please visit her online store, which is still under construction, for more information on their services and products.

 07 The Eyes Heard Around World: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

How can an animal abuse case that happened in Dallas, Texas impact the entire World?  All you have to do is look at the photo of Mercy and see her eyes to find your answer.  Jonnie England, Executive Director of Operation Kindness was our special guest to discuss Mercy’s story in graphic detail (it wasn’t too bad, but you may still need a box of tissues to make it through this show!  I know I did!).

These eyes have been an inspiration to thousands upon thousands of people whom have vowed to NEVER let her memory die, or her death to be in vein.  I am one of those people and this podcast is a reflection of one of those promises. 

Maria Daines is another person who was so touched by Mercy and her story that Maria wrote one of the most beautiful haunting songs in honor of Mercy that I have ever heard.  The name of the song is Rainbow Bridge and if this podcast doesn’t make you cry, her song sure will.  Thank you Maria for such a beautiful song from your heart!  The video that accompanies the song was masterfully put together and is a wonderful compliment to the song.

Larry Powell was also mentioned by Jonnie England during the interview as another soul touched deeply by Mercy’s story.  Larry did extensive blogging on behalf of Mercy and Operation Kindness.  I went to his site and was extremely impressed with the hard work this man does to help the animals!

Photographers, painters, artists, bloggers, writers, journalists, reporters, song writers, singers, podcasters, the list of lives touched by these eyes goes on and on and on!  I was so touched by her story that I not only started this podcast to help spread the word on animal abuse, but I also created a beautiful memorial garden stone in her honor for Operation Kindness. 

The stone I kept for myself:

The stone I sent to Operation Kindness:

I know I promised that her graphic photos would be on this site, but I have since decided that I would simply place a link to those photos so you can view them when you are ready.  I must say, to really understand what this dog endured, you really must take a look at the photos.  However, here is a photo you need to memorize as it is the face of a cold-blooded killer, Deshawn Brown and his innocent victim, Mercy:

I hope you enjoy this week’s show.  Thank you so much for listening.

I had the extreme pleasure of having Tammy Grimes founder of Dogs Deserve Better as my special guest today.  Did you know that Tammy Grimes LOVES cats or that she was also in the Air Force?  I didn’t until we began chatting away and these things came up completely out of the blue (ok, with a little coaxing from me).  She also takes care of two feral cats that live outside.  Now that is my kind of person!

Here is an outline of the things we discussed:

• Our opinions to the meaning of the words “Animal Welfare and Animal Rights”
• Her time on a chain (33 hours); Note: If you have not read this story, it is incredibly interesting!
• I had to talk about my cat, Dreamsycle, and his wonderful climbing tricks (I love to talk about my cats)
• Our feral cats just had to be mentioned.
• I can’t do a show without talking about Mercy!
• Why she started Dogs Deserve Better
• Touched on her time in the Air Force
• We even talked about our admiration of one of America’s favorite T.V. Game Show Hosts who is planning to retire in June of 2007, Mr. Bob Barker.
• We even discussed Doggie, his “owners” and some of her other rescues.

This show is packed full of great information and lots of rumor “debunking”.  I certainly hope you get a chance to “tune in”!  Thank you so much for listening!

I was truly blessed to have my dear friend, SpiritDancer, as my guest today.  We discussed the mind, body, and spirit of animals by means of communication, Amazon Herbs, and rescue stories.  I even shed some tears (then again, what’s new! LOL).  I, of course, mentioned that I personally use Young Living for my pets; but I always love to hear about alternatives!  One can never be too healthy! (Read more>>>)
