The Passion Zone, My Dog And The Cosmic Convention

What a week thus far....I'm so dang busy I'm surprised I remember who I am:) Of course - I'd rather be busy than be bored to tears.

My birthday was great -- had a fabo time. Thanks for those of you who have sent me links/articles to "Today is your Birthday":) Everything that was sent to me came from different sources - which was cool - no duplicate.

Brodie has been having some major nose bleeds. He's been worrying me. I'm thinking that it has something to do with the steroids he's on for his breathing. So I took him off the meds for now - and so far no nose bleeds. But now I have to (and the pet sitter too starting tomorrow) have to keep an eye on his breathing. If you could send some white light his way I'd appreciate.

Catch me here in about an hour for The Passion Zone on Empower Radio from 11 pm - 1 am. Call in 231-348-1963 or you can IM me at the Empower Radio chat at the bottom of the home page. Also - stop by The Passion Zone online and sign up to be a part of the social network. Being a part of PZ allows you to be a part of the forum chats - we've got a few discussions going on - from first kisses, sex toys and more.

I have a poop load of email in my inbox. I'm trying to get back to everyone - but it's a long haul.

Tomorrow morning I'm out of here -- heading to Lansing MI for Maria Shaw's Cosmic Convention from May 8th - 10th at the Hampton Inn on Canal Rd in Lansing MI. I'll be there all 3 days doing readings - stop by and let's chat. The conventions are the only places where I do in person readings - so don't be shy!

My talk is on Friday evening from 4: 30 - 6 pm:

Your Chakras, Your Sex Life: How to attune your chakras so that you can have a vibrant and active life, translating that also in positive sexual energy. Sexual energy is one of the strongest vibrations we have. Learn how to harness, balance and work with your sixth chakra (sacral, sex) to improve many areas of your life, including lovemaking!

Have a wonderful weekend -- I'm taking my laptop with me, so if anything fabo happens while I'm gone, I'll be able to fill you in.

Crystal Sunshine!

LEAVING DOGS IN HOT CARS IS CONSIDERED CRUELTY TO ANIMALS

Print this out and place it on a windshield if you see an animal in a car during all this heat. Follow the advice and get the animal help ASAP.

By Abigail Van Buren

DEAR ABBY: For the second time this week, I saw a dog left in a car while its owner went shopping. Please remind your readers that anything over 70 degrees -- or even 65 on a sunny day -- can mean that the inside of a car will quickly climb to more than 100 degrees!

The dog today, an adorable pug, was panting desperately against the window, which had not even been cracked a couple of inches in an attempt to do the right thing. Abby, the car had a couple of doggie decals on it, as if the owners believed themselves to be animal lovers!

Please also let your readers know it's OK to leave a polite note on a car, telling the owner that it's too hot to leave a dog in a car, and to alert the manager of the store (if they know which one) so an announcement can be made that there is a dog in distress. It is worth the extra minute to try to courteously educate and alert the careless animal owner. -- NO DOGS IN THE CAR AFTER MEMORIAL DAY

DEAR NO DOGS: Thank you for your important message. I spoke with Capt. David Havard of the Los Angeles SPCA, who kindly provided the following information: "Leaving a dog in a car can be considered neglect or abuse. There are laws governing cruelty to animals, and enforcement of those laws would fall under local jurisdiction."

So, readers, if you see a pet left in a parked car, the first thing to do would be to alert security personnel for the parking lot. And if the lot has no security personnel on duty, notify the police. Leaving a note on the offender's car is not enough, because the poor animal could be dead by the time the owner returns.
