I had truly hoped for more time with her…but true to this magical little being’s way, she continued to teach me through her recent passing. We all know this day will come. For animals, the hardest thing is that we know we will most likely outlive them. Just shy of her 15th birthday, Beedi did have a pretty full life. And, as many of you said, she was a natural therapy dog. No training was needed (for her — I required some). During the last year of her life, I was presented with the opportunity to attune to her. In her recovery from mold exposure, which affected several aspects of her physical health, I learned even deeper levels of attuning to her. While I knew were were closet to the end, part of me hoped she would get a natural death. While the signs were growing that the chi was leaving her body, ultimately my training would include knowing that moment

Beedi had an innate sensitivity, ability to attune to people, and had a presence that was un-rivaled by many humans. I’m so grateful that I was graced by her presence in my life both personally and professionally. She will be so missed.

When I receive her ashes I hope to spread some at her favorite plac
