Well, you know what? I I wrote the story about our beautiful dog named Shiloh, who was with us for 13 years. And when we first got Shiloh, we had just put our other dog down and had cancer. So I I but I got outvoted by my son and my husband. And for the first year of Shiloh's life, I didn't pay any attention to her because I didn't want another dog. But she fell in love with me and she became Can you can you hear Gunner whining in the background? He loves Shiloh too. Long story short, Shiloh's no longer with us. She we had to put her down um December of last year. Actually, winter solstice is when we had to put her down. But I wrote about her. I what did I say? I had to write this down because it's it's a very important point. Um, I shared the story of my beautiful dog Shiloh and our journey together. Um, this story was important for me to share with others to see how much animals can affect us in our lives in such a positive way. She was sent to me at the perfect time to assist me shift into the next phase of my life. I mean, that's why I wrote that chapter, was because I think there's so many people out there that don't truly are. And I mean, because of what I do, she was I called her a bit of a therapy dog as well. She would help the people that would come to my house go through what they needed to go through too.

SPEAKER_02 4:22

So oh, that's just beautiful. And it reminds me of a story that I shared in the book about my cat and Aunt Jane. Well, that was the first I didn't want a cat either, but I got talked into it by my friend, right? And she was like, it was so difficult the winter ever. But I did, and she moved five different houses, and when I would have her to go, she would lay with me. But when I moved back home and I was at peace, she went on. And yeah, I just like to say that you know, she left me in a better place than she found me. And sometimes well, and that's and that's exactly like that's exactly like Shiloh, right?

SPEAKER_01 4:57

Shiloh left me in a better place than she found me too. And Gunner, we got Gunner just before we got just before Shiloh left. But I mean, once we got Gunner, that's when Shiloh knew that she could go. And Shiloh helped. He he's one he he hears me talking about and he hears me talking about Shiloh. He's like, I miss her. Because yeah, like I said, I'm an animal communicator. Can you hear him? He's like, I miss him. So cute. But um, yeah, so I mean, that's why I I uh that's why I wrote the chapter, and I'm honored to be a part of this anthology series.
