Create Incredible Relationships With the Critters In Your Life

Stories & Information to Help Animals Help People

Welcome Animal Addicts!

Ever felt like people just don’t get it about your passion for animals? 

My name is Bonnie and I’m an animal addict. I get it! 

Animals aren’t optional in your life. They’re essential. 

And I understand how our connections to furry friends—horses to dogs to cats and everything in between and all about—have helped make us who we are today. 

Our relationships with animals are central to our lives.

And animal encounters continually teach me valuable life lessons. The more I observe their reactions to life events and listen to their wisdom, the more I feel connected to every animal that crosses my path.

If that describes you, too, then welcome to the Rambling Dog pack!

Perspectives for People Passionate About Pets

Through the years, I’ve learned lesson after lesson from so many of the animals in my life.

Casey, our first pony and a masterful escape artist. Tinker, the blind dog who navigated life with joy. Thundercloud, a saintly Appaloosa who took care of everyone from kids to grandmas. Tory, the big black dog who showed us how to live life fully to its very last moment (and became the model for Rambling Dog’s logo). The tiny pink piglet who encouraged me to pursue intuitive communication.

They all taught me valuable life lessons that have made me who I am today.

As you read this, are you reminded of the animals who have taught you things about life?

Or, perhaps you’ve always wanted that special connection with your pet. But it’s felt just out of reach.

You can learn how to connect with your animals on a deeper level.

That’s the promise behind everything I write and create here.

I’m a storyteller. So, through stories, books, guide sheets, and workbooks we’ll ramble along together learning about:

  • Bringing a new animal companion to bring into your life
  • Observing and interpreting your animal’s body language
  • Developing a mindset that invites your animal’s cooperative participation 
  • Creating an intuitive connection with your pets
  • Navigating grief when you outlive your pets
  • Reading stories about how animals can offer us important life lessons
  • Learning how to capture your own stories about the animals in your life
  • And enjoying some stuff just for fun…because we can never get enough of animals
