I met Sharon many, many years ago, as she had come highly recommended to me as an animal communicator.  I decided to have a day -long seminar at my farm and invited other horse owners to bring their horses for the day.  A good mix of both show riders and pleasure riders decided to come.  As every horse owner knows, effective communication with your mount is essential.  So the topic of the day was to teach us to be able to “speak” to our horses more clearly but to be able to hear them as well.  We spent the day communicating with our own horses and with each other’s horses as well.  The seminar was informative and fun, too.  Everyone left at the end of the day feeling as though they now had a better ability to elicit the desired behavior as well as a deeper understanding of their horse.
    Over the years Sharon has also communicated with many of my dogs.  One of the most dramatic, being with my sons Great Dane, Reggie.  Reggie had been rushed to the Vet School for emergency surgery of a splenetic torsion.  Reggie had made it through the surgery but was in critical condition due to all the internal damage.  Shortly after his surgery, his doctor called to tell us they could not stop the capillary bleeding and she wanted us to make a decision.  O asked her to give him some time to rebound and I called Sharon.  I told her of the bleeding and that the doctor felt he could not survive long if it continued.  Her reply was,”Let me see what I can do.”  About one hour later, the Vet school called back and said his bleeding had stopped and they do not know why.  They now felt more comfortable keeping him in a coma to let him heal and rest.  Reggie finally passed away due to the massive insult to his organs.  He was able to be kept comfortable while his body was given a chance.  And equally important my son was able to get back to the hospital the next day and hold his friend.
    Over the years, Sharon and I have laughed at the antics of my pets.  She has also been there for me and my pets in times of sadness.  She has been a friend and a mentor for many years now which my family and I all value.
