Karen's magic

Karen's magic with my dog Kato was evident after her first session with him. I was fostering him from the Marathon Shelter and not sure of permanent adoption. He came into my home as a terrified, suspicious, 9 lb Chihuahua, with a broken tail and broken spirit. Karen instilled such calmness in him and restored his inner confidence. The oils made him smell good too. He transitioned smoothly to his new home and made me a "foster failure." I could not give him up. His tail now stands up with a curl.
Whenever I travel on vacations and board him, I ask Karen to visit him in boarding and relieve his stress and anxiety. This keeps him balanced while I am away and he comes back home reassured.
As an aside, I also know Karen on a professional level in our mutual care of sick patients at Fishermen's Hospital, where she did nursing. It amazes me that she has abilities to care and empathize with humans as well as with animals.
