"When my beloved dog was diagnosed with terminal cancer, I was frantic and looking everywhere for someone that could truly help him.  Marianne gave him absolutely everything, from the day she met him right until the end.  She got him moving and walking when he otherwise couldn't, eased his pain on his bad days, got him eating when he didn't want to, put together various natural remedies for his anemia and other issues, and counseled me throughout his hospital visits and his episodes at home.  She recruited outside help as needed, and spent an enormous amount of time researching every variable and possibility to better understand the 'big picture' in solving the issues that this cancer brought on.  I absolutely can't imagine what this process would have been like without Marianne, but I believe that I would have lost him much sooner than I did, and that he would have been less comfortable during those final months.  This was the most trying time of my life or my dog's, but Marianne was our angel who gave every ounce of her time and energy to help a dog (and his Dad) whom she only knew for a short time."

Marianne,

I just wanted to thank you so much for coming by.  I noticed an instant change in the kitties.  Katja has been much more affectionate, and has sit closer and sitting still so I can pet her.  Strangely enough, she has been staying out all night almost every night.  I did get her a reflective collar.

Ash has only bothered me one night since you've been here, and that was at least a week later.  Ive been trying to give him jobs when I leave or go to sleep, such as monitoring the basement, or watching after his sister to make sure she's safe.

I've also been trying to play with both of them more often, and wrestling with Ash more.  I have told so many people the story, and when they are skeptical, I mention how you knew their personalities before I said anything, even calling Katja "princess" which is what I always call her.  My sister, who lives in Pittsburgh, has even hired a pet psychic for her own cat, who has suddenly stopped using her litter box.

Again, thank you so much.  I will make sure to recommend you to anyone who is having pet issues, or even if they just want to know what they're thinking!
