Greetings Everyone!
I have another year of doing what I love to be thankful for. Thank you for enriching my life with the interactions I have enjoyed with your animals.

Goodbye and Best Wishes
2006 was a year to tell my office manager of 5 years goodbye as she wanted to take an opportunity to work full time at a high school. Lorelei Ciafardoni came to work for me when I still did consults out of my home. She was instrumental in bringing my husband and I back together with an old friend and family member and was a creative force and supportive backbone for PS Animal Communications. She did a wonderful job at being an ambassador for rats. We, my animals and I, were truly enriched by her employ and touched by her friendship.

A New Voice on the Phone
As the saying goes when a door closes a window opens. Or maybe when a window closes a door opens. You know what I mean. In December PS Animal Communications greeted a new office manager, Barbara Johnson. I had spoken with Barbara previously when she consulted with me about her animals and I met her in person when she attended several of my workshops. She recently told me that some years ago when she attended her first workshop, she remembers thinking that she wished could have a job like Lorelei’s. Barbara is a professional pet sitter in addition to helping me out in the office. She lives with Gizmo Grayson, a Schnauzer, and her feline family Phoenix, “Phen”, Tiffany “Pretty Girl”, and Kitana “Ton”.

I am fortunate to draw these wonderfully creative people into my business as Barbara is a gifted crafter as well as organic dog treat baker. But most importantly she has a genuine nature, a good heart, and a true love and kinship with the animals. Welcome Barbara!
