Healing Duke the Tiger*************
Date: 6/6/2005 Excerpt from my forthcoming book
LIFETIME COMPANIONS: LOVE NEVER DIES
This book is devoted to the marvelous and amazing animals that I have had the honor to share my life, many of which return again and again to teach and share their love.
One never expects to suddenly wind up in a tiger’s cage pulling this awesome animal from the jaws of death but sometimes, the Goddess has other plans for you and you had best be up to the task at hand!
May 16 was just such a day in my life.
The Full Moon in Sagittarius pushed me back to The Endangered Animal Rescue Sanctuary[EARS], to work on healing Duke, one of the biggest and most splendid tigers you will ever see.

Its so wonderful to see how animals in a family actually act like family. My crew shows me that time and time again. I thought that I would have to put my 14 yr old dog down on New years Eve. He’s half shepherd and half Catahoula Leopard Hound,a leopard shepherd. He by the way ,has had nothing but skin problems since his first rabies shot, never had them before. Those shots are in many cases a veterinary hustle and the honest ones will tell you that they can sometimes cause more harm than good and certainly needn’t be done yearly. The vaccines are good for usually 3 yrs so the yearly shot is just a scam.
