SASSI OUR WONDERDOG, FULL OF LOVE

You can read about Sassi in earlier blogs about how her owner rescued her, starved her, then abandonen her to AWL.

We take care of Sassi, she is now spayed and our volunteer Martina took her into her home and 6 dogs for a couple of days recovering and monitoring her. This is the update I got from Martina.

"She was perfect with dogs(at the beginning growled but then she loved all my sweet dogs,especially Buba), perfect with the cat, perfect with pee :) always outside! She slept with us in the bedroom last night and this morning she woke me up to go out and pee :). She waited me flat on the floor all the bowls firt to all my dogs and then to her. I never heard her bark in these two days. She is also learning to go on a leash. She is sweet, I love her so much! "

If you are a loving and thoughtful patience person/family and would love to foster her or getting her what she deserves the most, a permanent home. She need a very firm hand that will help her understand what you want from her and to let her be who she is.

She is full of Amore!

COLUMN IN SWEDISH MAGAZINE NARA

My weekly column in the Swedish Magazine Nara. A journey from 1999 to now with the birth of Animals Without Limits by a little dying dog. Hope you will enjoy the story.

Tidningen Nara and you also read the column translated into English below;

My first encounter with street dogs occurred many years ago in Sofia, Bulgaria. Two dark brown eyes would change my life and many others' lives. I worked full time as an animal communicator and often flew around Europe to various clients. I had my own office on the well-known Gardet in Stockholm, and the waiting list for my services was long. But something in my heart did not feel quite right and no matter how hard I tried to explain the feelings, my friends didn’t understand what I meant. "You've got it all! You are already changing many lives! " they said.

By a "coincident" I flew over a weekend to a world conference down in Sofia, Bulgaria. The subject was the sterilization and castration of stray dogs. I had no expectations or hopes since I had no knowledge in that subject. Inspired by the lecturers and the participants knowledge that they shared something suddenly began bubbling inside me.

Later that evening we were a few who would go out to eat. I went in advance out to the street, suddenly it was like someone touched my soul and held on. My eyes were drawn into a dark entrance staircase, where two dark brown eyes searched mine. A street dog hunted my eyes, he conveyed that he needed help. He could not walk, but there was nothing self-pitying from his side, more a kind of waiting. No despair, but more patience in him.

There was something big behind the chestnut-colored eyes, a wisdom I had never seen before even though I had met hundreds of dogs previously. It felt as if I had been there for several minutes, but it was only for seconds.

Suddenly something snapped inside me, I sobbed over my despair that I could not take him with me. I could not take him to a vet, could not even find a home for him. The only thing I could do was listening to his story, and then turn my back on him.

My heart was broken, the hopelessness of abandoning someone who needed help. I had only experienced security at home in Sweden, never before had I seen this side of life.

I ran up to my room at the hotel and cried for hours. I did not want to go out. Later that night I took out pen and paper and began to write. On 23 October 1999, on my 36^th birthday, Animals Without Limits was born, on that hotel floor. Thanks to a stranger's soul that had communicated with my soul. A seed within me began to germinate, and since that day we (AWL) have been able to help thousands of injured, stray dogs.

Angels are working in different disguises toward different souls. When we open up our subconscious, we meet our teachers. That's Amore!

MY WEEKLY COLUMN IN MAGAZINE NARA

MY COLUMN FOR THE WEEK IN THE SWEDISH MAGAZINE NARA

Many have been asking me to translate my weekly columns for the Swedish Magazine. Here is my first attempt at capturing the nuance as well as the substance of what I write in my native tongue. Enjoy!

To love someone unconditionally is a gift, a wonderful experience where love shines through their eyes and forgives you for everything.
Via street dogs' eyes, I experience a world I would like to enjoy more in my own reality. When I enter the hospice grounds our clients are calm. They are like mini-Buddhists waiting for me, tranquil and calm in their souls.
When I sit down to meditate they put themselves in a half-moon around me. Serenity washes over me, they convey a place of wisdom and grace.
My beloved daughter is 6 years old and you readers have read in many previous columns about her medium capacity. I never talk about the other side, or angels, but I follow her stories.
When we lived in Italy she always talked about “sister Erika” who was with her ​​everywhere and that she lived at the great mountain far away. It was always a security for Olivia.
We have now moved to Germany and new experiences and friends wash over her. One day when I picked her up from the first grade, she was very sad. Comforting, I bended down on my knee and asked what was wrong. "Sister Erika is not with me anymore"
Quietly, I asked her “why not?”
"Sister Erika is helping many others and I do not have her phone number."
When we got home we sat on the floor and I told Olivia that we would call “wireless” with our thoughts. We closed our eyes and after a while, I said some numbers out load. We sat in silence for what seemed like a long glorious moment when I suddenly hear Olivia exclaim, "She's here! Thank you mom you found her phone number!”
Next morning it was a more straight-backed and emboldened little girl walking across the schoolyard with her ​​pink backpack.
Liebe Amore!

CONFUSING THOUGHTS AND ATMOSPHERE

Writing is fun and frustrating --- and always discipline. The most difficult now when I have children is to find the time. I even bought a book in 2007 "Writing for Moms." I thought that would give me a lot of ideas about how to find more time to write. The only problem is, I have not had the time to read it yet!

One of the good parts of being a writer is to discover so many new things, new words and new people. But like the thin pancake there is another side too. Analyzing!

Deep thinking, questioning why? Yet trying not to get too involved too deeply. And then, when done with the work, to let it go. And of course have the guts to write about difficult things, about people that are not nice and at the same time hopefully inspiring us to become better.
Pulling together thoughts and feelings, experiences and research in a way that is both interesting and meaningful to my readers.

But is it ok to conduct research by changing the truth to see how people react when you say or do different things? For example, perhaps you are eating very healthily but for your research you eat lots of junk food to see how people lecture you, or advise you to become healthier? Is that ethical or proper? Is it right and proper to concoct a fantasy to discover a truth?

When I was working as an animal psychologist the easy part was to read the animal. The hard part was when I was with the owner --- I didn't know how she felt since every day was a new day with different new impressions. The day, and my information, changed their aura, the energy felt, their mood --- and thus how she received my information.

The animals were pure and honest and the people could be confusing. Many times the people put their time into how other people should think and do, or they stole the other's energies. Often, it seemed that the people were trying to get away from their self.

Snooping people who were obsessed with what I was doing was uncomfortable. They didn't care how I as a person felt but wanted to know what was happening around me. I call them "An up to date billboard:" they want everybody's information but don't care how these same people feel.

They normally had a crowd of weak people around them so they could feel in control and powerful. Same goes in the animal kingdom but as with humans and animals with weakness in the group they became more vulnerable since inner stress is working inside and outside stress had a bigger impact to the inside. They don't have any protection.

I found it very interesting to observe people and for many years I have had my own coping little game: I put dog faces on them in my mind to see what breed they represented. It made it easier to cope with negative people since I got to giggle a lot on the inside, and with a smile in my heart I could walk on in life!

That's Amore!

PART II ABOUT FRANKS STRUGGLING

If you want excitement, to lose weight and build some good karma, join us for our AWL missions.

Earlier on our blog, you could read about Frank the German Shepard that was left to die on a busy street. But he was found by Italian volunteers Francesco and Merlina. Frank underwent surgeries and AWL was contacted by Chiarra, asking if Frank could stay two weeks at the hospice. That would give him time to heal and them to find a home.

But he looked like a mess with the wounds full of dripping, oozing fluid. Even if he ate well I felt that something was wrong even and so did Martina. I called Dr Damiani to ask when he would be at the clinic.
Could we bring in Frank for an examination?

Since Frank is stitched up everywhere and especially under his belly I would have difficulty carrying him into the SUV myself, I needed help.
Pio, Martina and Chiara stopped by at the hospice this early morning and helped me load him in the SUV with help of a big bath sheet.
Nicolle helped me with Frank at the clinic.


Frank was in a lot of pain, he was swollen everywhere. Dr Damiani had misty eyes when he greeted Frank. Could he be saved?

HELLO BIG WORLD

GUARDIAN ANGELS FOUND HIM

This is Frank, a beautiful German Shepard probably between 7-8 years old.

Frank was found on a busy street (highway), in Neaples. He had been hit by a car, and left to die. Francesco and Melania, two volunteers from Naples, just saw Frank, stopped to see if he was alive... Frank was sick, very sick, but he was alive. They took Frank to a veterinarian were he had to go through several surgeries. The vet had to remove the spleen and stop internal bleeding.

15 days later a new surgery; fracture of his right paw, he has the joints completely pulped. The operation appears successful, but we do not know if this giant will be able to keep the leg,

His left front leg is fractured, so far no surgery on that one.

Chiarra and Francesco came with Frank to Casa dell'Amore (hospice & recovery center) and what a trooper. He will stay for two weeks and hopefully a home will be found.

He is such a big sweet loving guy who need a forever home that can have him and pet him all day long.

Tomorrow we are bringing him in to get checked at dr Damiani's clinic. Keep your paws.

A big warm hand to Francesco and Melania for stopping and checking if the dog was alive. I get scared of thinking how many that are still alive laying on the highway.

Chiara Ricci for helping Frank and taking care of him and thank you ALL for your support so Frank can recover at Casa dell'Amore AWL. Without your donations we cannot exist.

That's Amore.
