Yes, every now and then, we do leave our furbabies behind.  In fact, they just got left behind at the LA Kennel Club (www.kennelclublax.com) for a week so that we could go to Switzerland, France and Monaco. Our traveling has slowed down a bit due to the economy. We hope to boost our vacations back up though!  Being the animal lovers that we are, even on our travels abroad, animals are something that both my husband do look out for. We even take pictures of them!  

And just to prove how serious we are, from kissing whales in Baja, swimming with turtles in Tahiti (both my husband and I are certified PADI divers- now if you want to talk about diving, that’s a whole another website and another passion! Feel free to ask me about that. We have gone diving in Tahiti, Maui, Jamaica, Thailand, St Lucia, we will go to Aruba this year) , a stout moray eel in Maui, falling in love with a baby elephant in Thailand and of course the stray cats in Jamaica and Tahitiand stray dogs in Sorrento, Italy! I once saw a cat eating pasta in Cinque Terre and thought it was the funniest thing!

On my latest trip with Candy to Vietnam, we were sitting at an outside restaurant where a stray puppy was begging for food from table to table. But when he came to our table,  he let me give him some reiki and he sat down soaking in the energy and then politely moved to another table to beg for food. We were both amazed! There was an elephant fish in Vietnam as well that received some reiki as well,  it was very receptive to energy. Animals love reiki. They don’t have as much baggage as we humans do so the energy just goes where it needs to go.

This story was Mark’s idea (hubby).  How could I forget there are many furbabies out in the world that we come in contact to.  So I thank him for the inspiration for this blog.
