A person--that I haven't known from before-- sent me a link that she wanted me to check out on the Internet. I clicked on the link and a movie started about animals in slaughter houses, and also bullfighting. It was not a pleasant view.
Suddenly, I had to run out from the room for a minute, when I returned, Olivia my four-year-old daughter was watching the film.
It was a pig in a slaughterhouse, and the pictures were very graphic. I held my breath, angry at myself that I hadn’t clicked it away. Her face was very serious and she turned her little white face towards me and said, “Mommy look, the pig is hurt.”
“I know baby, it is because we eat meat.”
Her eyes were glued to the screen, and I could see how she was thinking. “That is not good, mommy you go, and get the pig.”
For over 20 years I have been a vegetarian. I have never talked to Olivia about why I don't eat meat. It's just not an issue (yet). At dinner time, I make what she chooses: vegetarian or meat. Since dad is a meat eater (and Max), there is always the option before her.
What was it Linda Mc Cartney said? "If all slaughterhouses had glass walls we would all be vegetarians."

Tummy Ache
Pasha and Jimmie on the bus!
Olivia continued to surprise us with her intuitive communication with dogs. Another example was after Jimmie and Pasha had their dinner they got a small, thin bone. Olivia told Milla, Pasha and Jimmie's human, "Only one for Jimmie or he will get a tummy ache."
Olivia didn't know that Jimmie is always on a special diet and "only" gets one little bone/stick a day since he has a very sensitive stomach.
This is Amore communication.

Grande Amore
Olivia showed many talents during our stay and that she is gifted with reading animals, and people.
Two people she love dearly(and I) are Katie and Milla from Himmelska Hundar. Olivia cried and didn't want to leave them nor their "kids"; Pasha, Jimmie and Ira.
And of course, Bosse. Thank you for making the poster so beautiful, and for your DVD's to Olivia (Olivia loved you dearly too)
ALL THE MONEY GOES TO AWL (even the book money) --In the next blog I will tell you the amount--
Amore friends, thank you for everything that you do for the animals and for us two, we felt like Princesses. We love you guys!
Everyone that came to the lecture, thank you so much. Without you we cannot do our work, without your support we do not have the strength. You were wonderful, thank you.
