CHILDREN AMORE

 Outside a friend's house, by their door in an apartment area with hundreds of children. On Saturdays and Sunday's, the door bell can go off every minute, so when mom and dad want peace and quiet, they hang up these signs. I loved their idea with these signs.

 Lyme disease can bring down even the best and strongest smile (of course this is my disease.) My best friend from Italy sent me this. I just love it. I printed it out and have put it up by the front door. Now, neither me or the kids forget to take a smile with us when we leave for the day. A smile makes wonders!

 Olivia, my seven- year old daughter's favorite animals are horses. I am making her a scrap book with pictures from when she started riding until today. I got very nostalgic and proud when I found the pictures from when she started at age three in "bella Napoli" all the way to today in "wunderbar Deutschland".

That's Amore!

HAVE A STRESS FREE WEEKEND

 The more I research Lyme disease, the more surprised I am about the ignorance towards so many sick people --- . As with other illnesses, it's possible to be very ill and outwardly look fine. Very low energy levels, neurologic and brain dysfunction don’t often change a person’s appearance. Family and friends are sometimes hard on victims simply because they don’t look sick. Don't give up searching for your answer to why you are sick.

 This is Mullet, a dumped dog and now searching after a new family. He is such a sweet heart, he just wants to stay close to people and especially boys. He was out hiking with teenage boys escorting them around where he now lives. He is around 8 years-old, castrated yesterday thanks to volunteer Lori and sponsored by Animals Without Limits. He is in Southern Italy, but we can arrange a passport and have him at your door whenever you say YES!

This is how I look in the mornings. With two small children and "around" fifteen dogs. But it is also very soothing for my body especially when seven of them lay in my office snoring while I am writing.

I wish you all a stress free weekend! That's Amore.

Lyme warning

A NEW START

 With a lot of lovely pressure from many people around the world, I have now decided to re-start my old blog. This time I will write about different subjects that are dear to me. I have a wide range of readers, but mostly they are my animal rescuer and fans. But I am also a mother, writer, lecturer, rescuer and a Lyme disease warrior.

 In the next issue of the Swedish Dog Magazine,  "Harliga Hund, there will be a great article about mine and my Animals Without Limits (AWL) volunteers-work down in South Italy. I am so thrilled that a great magazine like "Harliga Hund" is giving us spotlight on the stray situation.

HARLIGA HUND FB

 I still volunteer full time for my lovely foundation Animals Without Limits I love this picture I feel like this will be me after 30 years, still driving across Europe with dogs that are being adopted. My goal is to open more hospice facilities for older and sick strays. For more information you can follow our work on our  AWL BLOG

For over two years have I been writing a column for the Swedish Spiritual Magazine, Tidningen NARA You can visit the link and read more about them. I will continue writing stories that are use by NARA, most of the them will be spiritual stories about animals and we people.

I am happy to be back! That's Amore!

AWL COMMAND RECOGNIZED IN NAPOLI

Many people don't know, but we are recognized by the Command of Naples NSA as a "Private Organization". This means we are allowed to operate on the Naples area Naval Bases.

We'd like to have a responsible person to be the point of contact between ourselves and the command, someone who can help organize events, interface with the command, and ensure that our interests are able to be communicated to the command, AFN, and other organizations within the Naples NSA. Any takers?

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!
