Dear Friends and Clients,

BRAIN DEAD/COMA COMMUNICATION – I hope none of you are ever in the position of having to disconnect life support or make the decision about having your loved one become an organ donor. There is new evidence that even when a person has been determined to be brain dead, they are exhibiting signs of reflex and even responses. If they are brain dead, then why do they anesthetize them before they harvest the organs? If you ever get in this situation, please call me to double check on them. It is essentially coma communication which I do all the time. And by all means, get a referral from me for energy healing since I have had clients in this position where they made a complete recovery.

TEXT, WHATSAPP AND E MAIL COMMUNICATION – If you have a quick question, I do not mind answering it for you. I love my clients and want to help where I can. But some people have taken advantage of my willingness and have repeatedly written lengthy messages/questions to me that take time to respond to. Please ask yourself, “Is this something that should be covered in a reading because I am asking Terri to use her time, intuition and expertise?” or “Is this something quick that won’t take a lot of Terri’s time and is a general question?” Please remember too, that until and unless I am connected to you energetically, I cannot do a reading. There’s only a few people who are repeatedly doing this, so I wanted to nip it in the bud. Thank you for your consideration.

PODCASTS – I have been doing a lot of podcasts lately and on several subjects. You may find these interesting. Also, if you know of a podcast where you think I might be a good guest, let me know so I can ask to be considered.

I am still trying to get my own podcast going.

FACEBOOK – I am working at expanding my following on my Cowgirl Shaman Facebook page. I promise no politics. Just good, helpful information and news when appropriate. If you are willing, please go to this page and follow. It is all about the numbers when determining impact so the more followers I have, the better my chances are at selling my TV show. Here is the link: https://www.facebook.com/cowgirlshaman

CALENDLY – I am so happy with how Calendly is working on the website for scheduling. Please remember that if you are in a different time zone, the available times will be in YOUR time zone, so you don’t have to do the math and try and figure it out. If you have any problems, please let me know because we have had a glitch or two. I will always confirm your appointment so if you don’t get an email confirmation from me, more than likely it has not gone through so just try again.

RECORDING YOUR READINGS – I have always allowed you to record your readings because I know how helpful it is to relisten to your reading to make sure you haven’t missed anything. That has to stop (unless you have been a long-time client, and I KNOW you.) Someone (a first timer) recorded their reading and then using A.I., used my voice but not my words to make me sound like an uncaring idiot and it is posted on YouTube. I am now rethinking doing my own voice on my audio books for this reason. Luckily, a few of my clients heard it and came to the conclusion that it was A.I. and not real.

GIFT CERTIFICATES – Graduations, weddings and other celebrations are starting to happen. A reading might just be the thing to help someone make life-changing decisions. The only readings I will not do are predictions and police work. Everything else goes. Remember that you can purchase gift certificates through me, (not the website) and I can send them by e mail or snail mail.

As always, love and light.

Dear Friends and Clients,

WEBSITE READING APPOINTMENTS – After lots of starts and stops, the website reading scheduling is now functioning perfectly. We went with Calendly for scheduling. You can pick your day and time, pay and then fill out the form so I have your name and number in an e mail. I will always e mail you back to confirm. There is a 15-minute prior cut-off so if you are trying to schedule last minute, please email me or text me to see if it is available. I can still do scheduling by text or e mail if necessary. Readings are available seven days a week and holidays.

MAGAZINE ARTICLE – Here is the link to a magazine article that I was in. It’s very interesting to see the different ways that others in this field perceive things and the information they provide. My opinion is that way too many are still using the outdated word “psychic.” https://www.mysticmag.com/psychic-reading/expert-psychic-connection/?fbclid=IwY2xjawIvBAxleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHXCKYA1PlKx70YP2iOKyj-rb9GNcjaoOKZ6bVc1-lv0Qy-WiuKGoWXTEUw_aem_LsFu9Aehf_K_mfd_wZZH2A

LINK TO A PODCAST: I did a podcast a while ago and I did readings while on the air. It was really fun. Here’s the link if you want to watch it: https://youtu.be/eOR0XzueAHo

NEUROLOGICAL DISEASES FROM FLEAS: I am always learning and I recently read an article that shared how fleas can spread Bartonella and Babesia and there can be co-infections with Lymes disease. The big difference seems to be the neurological effects caused by Bartonella and Babesia. Some call Bartonella “cat-scratch fever,” but you don’t have to get scratched by a cat to have this disease. They are very challenging to diagnose so if you ever have an undiagnosed illness with neurological issues, be sure to mention it so you can be tested for them. The message is to make sure that your cats are treated effectively for fleas if you have fleas in your area.

LOST PETS – Many of you have contacted me to help locate lost pets. While I love helping, I would like to never have to locate a lost pet again because they are all safe.  The first rule is to never let your cats out and never leave your dogs out unsupervised unless they are huge and can’t get out of the fencing. I could write volumes on the dangers cats face if they are left out. Small dogs should never be left out without being on a leash. The owls and eagles can get them as well as coyotes. Many people steal dogs and hold them for ransom so that is a danger too. If they get lost, you want to plaster your local area with posters. Posters should always say, “Reward, needs medication and special diet.” No one wants vet bills so they may be willing to return them if they see the posters. I can usually determine if they are still alive, what direction they went in, whether or not someone is caring for them and I also get Guidance on what else you need to do in order to get them back. If you lose your pet, schedule a reading right away.

UNDIAGNOSED PAIN IN HORSES – We need our allopathic veterinarians. They do great work. But, when checking horses for pain, they often look at hoof to elbow, hoof to stifle and they are done. That leaves 95% of the horse that they don’t evaluate. Horses are designed by nature to graze and run from predators. That’s it. So if we are going to ride them and do all the fun crazy things that we do with them, they MUST have regular chiropractic and Acuscope/Equiscope (microcurrent therapy). Since they are a prey animal, if they are in pain, it makes them unpredictable, spooky, grumpy, resistant to work and a host of other behavioral problems. Chiropractic gets the bones back in alignment and the Acuscope helps with soft tissue problems. In 35 years, I have not found another way of keeping them comfortable. Make sure your Acuscope person gets the underside, meaning pecs and adductors.

SPRING VET APPOINTMENT – If you are thinking of scheduling a reading soon, please do it right away. This next Thursday is my spring vet appointment which means teeth floating for the horses, vaccinations, chiropractic for the horses and dogs and who knows what else. So I won’t have to change my name to Ben Dover, it would be great to be extremely busy until Thursday when I have to pay a huge vet bill. I pay it gladly because I love my holistic vet but it’s a lot. Thanks ahead of time to all of you who schedule, and this goes for all the time, not just when I have a vet bill.

Dear Friends and Clients,

Lots of great information to keep you and your animals safe and healthy with the change of seasons.

HORSE BLANKETS

If you haven’t already, it’s a great time to get all your horse blankets washed and sprayed with silicone spray to insure they are waterproof for the wet season. We have a washing machine with no agitator so they wash easily and we hang them out to dry. Once they are dry, we put them across ladders and spray them with waterproofing. Even though they are nylon and should be waterproof already, we make sure they get an extra coating, especially with the weird, really wet winter we had last year. I have old and infirm horses so they need the blankets. Many horses don’t.

DOG COATS

Even though our new puppies will probably go outside to the small backyard whenever they want due to our doggie door, when we are going to stay out on the acreage for longer periods to take care of the horses, we will put waterproof coats on them. We’re not worried about them getting cold. It just makes drying them off when they come in a lot easier. I suggest this for any breeds whose coats can hold a substantial amount of moisture. I will probably need a tarp for the bed for when they get the zoomies.

DOG REINCARNATION

I am a firm believer that we stay connected to our loved ones, both human and animal through many lifetimes. This is physics. You cannot destroy energy (souls, spirits) but it can be changed. We recently got two puppies – one is 17 months and the other is 7 months. It is interesting to watch them change and without any encouragement from us, they are taking on traits of the dogs we have lost. The amazing thing is how much joy they bring with their silly antics. I have only had old dogs (teenagers) for the past three to five years so this craziness is wonderful. It really heals your heart. My wonderful friend Ranelle who helped us get these dogs told both of them, “You have hit the lottery.” I think we have.

WHAT HAPPENS TO OUTDOOR AND INDOOR/OUTDOOR CATS

I will only do lost cat readings on indoor cats that have escaped. The reason is that if I help find the cat and get it back home, the owners will just let it out again. Building a cat house or catio is the solution. These are just a few of the things that can befall a cat that gets let out: being hit by a car, being stolen, getting lost, death caused by cats, dogs, skunks, coyotes, foxes, bears, raccoons, rain, snow, very hot or very cold weather, being mistreated or abused by strangers, getting shot, FIV, FELV, FIP, infections, sickness, disease, injuries, animal traps, rat poison, antifreeze, rock salt, fleas, ticks, worms, getting their collar caught, ringworm. I should add being picked up by predatory birds as I have clients that this has happened to.

MEDIUMSHIP GONE WRONG

Many professional, even TV mediums do not understand the physics of this work. Once a soul has left a physical body behind, all of their negativity (pain, suffering, unfinished business, regrets, anger, lack of forgiveness, etc.) gets left behind in the Earthly realm. It is not a vibrational match to Source/God so it cannot go with them to the other side. But, it looks like, feels like and seems like the deceased so mediums who do not have discernment, can share information from this shed-off negative garbage as if it is coming from the deceased. When they do this, they are dumpster diving. You will NEVER get anything negative from an animal or human on the other side. Please remember this. And they just love us. They cannot help us either because they cannot perceive anything negative in the Earthly realm. They do not become our guardian angels or Guides either.

ENERGY HEALING

I can’t share this enough. We are 99% energy and only 1% physical yet all of allopathic medicine is focused on the 1%. If you are suffering from a disease or condition, please, please get the instructions and do energy healing on yourself. You have to process out and let go of the stuck negative emotions that cause dis-ease but you will feel so much better once you do. E mail me for the instructions if you need them. Love and Light, Terri Jay Cowgirl Shaman

Dear Friends and Clients,

TV SHOW ON the Golden Network

My friend Temma Hammond included me in her recent film which compares modern cowgirls to the cowgirls of old via film. I have a few shots in there of my horse Artie bowing and Duchess giving me a slime facial. The Golden Network is available on ROKU. It’s TV programs for us old folks. She is holding a Press Conference this Saturday in Carson City so maybe I will get some good press.

HEALING GRIEF

I did a post on Facebook that I am sharing here after I saw a post that scolded people for criticizing someone who grieves too long. Grief needs to be managed. If you allow yourself to grieve too long, it can impact your health. Here it is: Unresolved grief can KILL you. We are 99% energy and only 1% physical. Disease is issues in the tissues caused by unresolved negative emotions. When you hold onto grief, mistakenly believing that it keeps you closer to the loved ones you have lost, you are pumping negative energy into your cells. Cells respond to emotions. Unresolved grief causes breast cancer, heart disease, lung cancer, pneumonia, bronchitis. midback issues, etc. It can impact all of the organs in the heart chakra. Energy healing is free, and you can learn to do it yourself. It can also raise your vibration so that you can feel your loved ones around you because you get closer to being a vibrational match. Email me for the instructions or schedule an appointment for a session.

HEALING POWER OF ANIMALS

We all know that animals can help us to heal. I am looking for stories of how animals have helped you to heal. Please email them to me if you want to participate. While animals have helped me throughout my life, I think the biggest healing instance for me is that horses kept me straight. I had a very messed up childhood which should have turned me into an alcoholic, drug addict hooker. The need to have horses made me stay alcohol free, hardworking, maintaining a job and income, all so that I could have horses. This is the type of story that I am looking for. Email me your story.

ENERGY HEALING

It’s free and you can learn to do it for yourself. I am saddened by all of the posts that I see on Facebook about how a person has a horrible disease and even though it doesn’t show, they are still suffering. My heart goes out to those who have been diagnosed with cancer. Please remember that we are only 1% physical and 99% energy. CELLS RESPOND TO EMOTIONS. Disease is issues in the tissues. Allopathic medicine only addresses the 1% physical body. You can be responsible for healing the stuck negative emotions that cause dis-ease. I have lots of clients who did energy healing that no longer have their dis-ease. I also offer energy healing sessions for $125. You can actually feel the difference. Email me to schedule.

FIRST FROST OF THE SEASON

Here in northwestern Nevada, we are disconnecting hoses, turning the heaters on in the automatic waterers, making sure the heater is on in the pump house and all of the other chores that need to be done before winter. The horses’ blankets have been washed and water-proofed and they are ready to go when needed. b Be sure to check around your place to make sure you are winterized and ready for a cold, snowy season.

READINGS COVER EVERYTHING

Remember, I do everything except predictions and police work. I help with relationships, finances, health, pets, horses and communication with people and pets on the other side. I love helping.

Love and Light,
Terri Jay Cowgirl Shaman

Dear Friends and Clients,

FEE REDUCTION

I have made the decision to reverse the increase in my fees due to many, many complaints. I am so sorry that things are so bad for so many that even a 5- or 10-dollar difference has prevented you from booking an appointment for a reading. My heart breaks that things are so dire for so many. So, I will take the hit and absorb all of the increases in fees that I am shouldering. My web page has already been changed to reflect the old amounts of $50/$90. I wish for abundance for all of you.

CARING FOR FERAL OR BARN CATS

You all know my opinion on leaving cats outside but there are many reasons why this is the only option for many. If you build any kind of cat house enclosures for outdoor cats, DO NOT USE ANY FABRIC LIKE BLANKETS. Only use straw. The reason is that the blankets can become wet and then the cats freeze to them and die. You can always get straw at your local feed store. It is absorbent and keeps the cats warm and dry.

COYOTE PROOF FENCING

Please remember that predators become hungrier this time of year and will catch and eat anything that doesn’t move fast enough. They can also scale 8-foot concrete block fences. They will take small dogs, cats and even birds. They have been known to kill dogs to eliminate perceived competition. If your dogs go off leash on trails, make sure they have an iron-clad recall. One coyote will get the dog to chase it and then the pack will jump it. You can install coyote rollers which are PVC pipes installed on a cable with a large diameter pipe over a smaller diameter pipe which is strung on the cable. They can’t get a grip to get over the fence. Installing several strands of wide electric tape which is attached to a solar charger at the top and bottom of the fence works good too.

GIFTS FOR THE HOLIDAYS

One of my books makes a great gift for the intuitively curious on your list. The first book, “The Cowgirl Shaman Way – Seven Easy Steps to Develop Your Intuitive Ability,” teaches you how to do everything that I do. The second book, “Intuitive Communication – Communicating with People That Cannot,” is specialized for medical personnel, first responders and care givers. The third book is great for anyone who is grieving. “The Physics of Mediumship,” teaches you how to learn to communicate with both people and pets who have passed. It can really bring peace to those who are grieving by dispelling the myths of what happens when you pass. They are all available on my website and you can get an autographed copy rom me directly.

READING GIFT CERTIFICATES

Gift certificates for half hour or hour readings also make great gifts. I can e mail or snail mail them to you. If you know someone who needs help with horses, pets, grief, relationships, finances, health, or any other challenge, readings can be so valuable at proving clarity, direction and even peace of mind. You can purchase it on my website and then fill out the form as to who it is for and how to deliver it to them.

HOLIDAY HOURS

I work 7 days a week and I will be doing readings throughout the Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year holidays. I am also available for group readings and parties which can be done through Zoom, Facetime or Skype. They are often hilarious and provide incredible, healing results. Contact me by email if you have questions or want to schedule. Cost is based on number of participants.

ENERGY HEALING

I am now offering energy healing coaching sessions. It goes hand in hand with being a medical intuitive. I have had many of you request it so I will now provide it. We need an hour, and the cost will be $125. Why suffer with autoimmune diseases, cancer, female issues, etc. when many of these are caused by stuck negative emotions? Remember that we are 99% energy and only 1% physical. Cells respond to emotions and disease is issues in the tissues. Contact me to schedule.

PRODUCT ENDORSEMENT

I am not getting paid to endorse this product, but I am blown away by the positive differences in my horses and now me. I have two mares that I was contemplating euthanizing due to laminitis, not caused by diet. After 5 days on the product, both were moving around more and obviously much more comfortable. Then I started taking it. My mobility has increased. My varicose veins are disappearing, and my skin feels less irritated. I am curious to see what is going on inside my body if these obvious changes are happening on the outside. The product is Osteo-Max for horses. Human dose is 1 Tablespoon. A jug of it is about $174 but you can find discounts online. It is chock full of peptides. Email me if you have questions about it..

As always, Love and Light

Dear Friends and Clients,

GUIDANCE FOR THE HOLIDAYS

Don’t go into debt trying to show people how much you love them with gifts. Spend quality time with them instead. Don’t visit your family if they are toxic to where it compromises your mental health. Family is NOT everything. If someone comments on your weight, eat them.

DOG ILLNESS

There is a disease that is going around that is making dogs very sick, and, in some cases, they are dying. Watch for lethargy first. Coughing is a symptom. Nasal and eye discharge are symptoms too.  As soon as you see any of these symptoms, take your dog to the veterinarian. Don’t wait. They now know how to treat it, even if they don’t yet know what it is. It can cause pneumonia in 2 days, and it is better to be safe than sorry. Stay away from doggie daycares, parks, dog parks, etc. as there isn’t any knowledge on how it is spread yet.

VOLTAREN

This is a great topical ointment to treat arthritic joints. This is the brand name, but it does come in generic brands too, labeled as Diclofenac. If you use it, DO NOT LET DOGS LICK IT OFF. It can make them sick and even kill them. If you have horses, it is labeled as Surpass Gel so if you have tolerant horses, a dog could lick it off of them. If you buy Surpass, stop it. You are paying 5 times the price for the same exact thing as the generic Diclofenac which you can get in any pharmacy.

CHRISTMAS DANGERS FOR PETS

There are many dangers for our pets this season. Whatever you do, do not buy rawhide Christmas presents for your dogs. They are not digested and can lead to surgery to have them removed. Collagen chews are okay. If you have a live tree, don’t put anything in the water that the tree is sitting in. Cats love to play with tinsel, but they will eat it and it can cause bowel obstructions. Glass ornaments will break and can cut your pets. Your tree will look great without these things. Be careful with foods this holiday season. There are many foods that are fine for us that are toxic to dogs such as raisins, grapes, chocolate, onions, etc. They can also get pancreatitis from eating fatty foods like ham. I want all of you to have happy, healthy holidays, including your pets.

NEEDED GIFTS

If you know a family that is struggling this Christmas, why not pay their electric bill or get them a gift card for groceries, pay their cell bill or buy them a gas card? These gifts will be much more appreciated than a new sweater or gloves.

SOCIAL SERVICE AGENCIES AND CHURCHES

If you are struggling with finding food this holiday season, there are agencies and churches that will help. Many LDS Churches have food pantries that can give you food even if you are not a member. A lot of other churches do food drives and give away the food that is collected. Check with your Community Services Agency to find out where you can get free food. If you are having trouble with rent, the Rural Housing Authority can provide up to $3,000. In rental assistance if you are threatened with eviction. The utility companies also have ways of helping if you are having trouble with paying utilities, especially for veterans and disabled people. There is no shame in asking. Everyone goes through rough patches.

GIFTS OF KNOWLEDGE AND PEACE

I am so honored when I do a reading for someone who is struggling with loss, and they share with me that I have given them peace. What price can you put on that? I will be working throughout the holidays as I love my work. Group readings are a great way to connect to those you have lost so everyone can participate through Skype, Facetime or Zoom. I do have gift certificates for hour and half hour readings that I can send as an e mail or through snail mail. I also have books that teach anyone how to develop their own intuitive abilities as well as training sessions that make great gifts. These are all on my website.
As always, I wish all of you a happy, healthy, abundant holiday season.

Love and light,
Terri Jay Cowgirl Shaman

Dear Friends and Clients,

Happy Presidents Day! – I hope those of you who have the day off are enjoying it doing something fun, even if it is just catching up on things that need doing.

CHANGING YOUR ENERGY

Many times when I do a reading, I can actually see and feel the energy field of my clients shift. I do let you know. It is always for the better, higher vibration and indicates healing is taking place. I feel so blessed that I get to witness this, especially over the phone. What does it feel like for my clients? Some feel nothing. Others feel tingly. Others still might feel butterflies in their stomach. Be aware of changes in your energy field. You can also change your energy field through energy healing. If you need the instructions, please e mail me and I am happy to send it to you.

STARTING HORSES TOO YOUNG

I have been doing a lot of readings on young horses and I am truly horrified that they are being started so young and ridden so hard (at speed) carrying too much weight for a youngster. Horses don’t fully mature until 6 or 7 years of age. Their backs are one of the last places to finish growing which happens at 6 years of age. The damage that can be done to young horses encompasses physical, mental and emotional health. This may be the reason for so many with kissing spine. There are way too many horses that are rushed to get ready for futurities. That may be well and good but plan on retiring them before they are 10 due to arthritis. You have to ask yourself this question: Do I want to win at futurities and then have a cripple or do I want to wait until my horse is ready and enjoy 20+ years with them? Be careful of the choices you are making, and this is also true when purchasing horses. You may want to take a hard look at a horse that was shown in futurities.

HEAD TRAUMA AND HORMONES

You’ve heard me write and talk about this syndrome. Head trauma can lead to hormonal imbalances in both men and women due to the damage of the pituitary. This is why the football teams are so careful now with players who get their bell rung. Well, it can also happen with horses and other animals. It seems to be more prevalent in female horses but can impact both sexes. Extensive blood testing can determine current levels and whether or not hormone replacement is needed. I did a reading on a mare recently and her hormones were out of control. And yes, she had head trauma so badly that she knocked herself out. The levels and testing can be different for a “normal” person or animal verses one with head trauma. Let me know if I can help with this determination.

DOG VACCINATIONS

It is important with the dog virus that is going around to make sure that your dogs are vaccinated. Make sure they are getting pre and probiotics too for a healthy gut is what helps make a healthy immune system. But not all dogs need all the recommended vaccinations every year. If you want to find out if previous vaccinations are still working, then request a titer test before you revaccinate. This can determine if your dog’s immune system is still covered. Same for cats. And, if your cats are indoor cats and never have exposure to other cats, they need very little in the way of repeated vaccinations.

READING PARTIES

I have started doing reading parties and they are such a blast. You can host one. You only need 6 people, and we can do it on Skype, FaceTime or Zoom. The cost is $30 per person and each person gets a 10-minute reading. It is great to do it in a group since many people receive information that is helpful when listening to others’ readings. E mail me if you are interested in scheduling.

READING SCHEDULE

I am back to working 7 days a week and these are the hours you can book: 9, 10, 11am and 4, 5 and 6pm Pacific time and the half hours in between. With this information, you can request a time rather than having to wait to get the schedule from me. If the time you want is already booked, then I will get back to you right away. Remember, all appointments are booked through e-mail only. Once you pay at the bottom of the Reading page on my website, then you can fill out the schedule, so I have your name and number in an email. Also, if your payment is under a business name or doesn’t include your name, please let me know in the e mail. Gets very confusing sometimes. Also, be sure to allow my e mail as an accepted contact since a lot of emails to my clients end up in their spam folders. As always, it is an honor working with you.

Love and Light,
Terri Jay
Cowgirl Shaman

FREE E BOOK WITH READING – Only for the first 10 people who sign up for readings, you will get my free e book, “The Cowgirl Shaman Way – Seven Easy Steps to Develop Your Intuitive Ability. Just go to my website at www.TerriJay.com/Readings where you can pay at the bottom of the page. Then fill out the form so I have your name and number in an email, and I will send you the schedule. Then I will send you the e book in a separate email. It can teach you how to do all of the things I do and tells you how I got started.

READINGS COVER EVERYTHING – I have heard about other people who do this work who charge by the subject such as per horse or if you want to ask people or dog questions, you have to pay again and schedule another appointment. I think this is a horrible, unethical practice. For those of you who have had a reading, you know that I am happy to answer any and all of your questions in one session. The only work I don’t do is police work due to the negativity and predictions because they are unethical due to the Law of Attraction. I do relationships, finances, health, pets, lost pets, mediumship of both people and pets, medical and veterinary intuition, horses and much, much more. It is an honor to be of service.

IDEAS TO MAKE MORE MONEY – A lot of people are feeling the money crunch and groceries are one thing that has gone up in price in a horrific fashion. The cause is just greed on the part of the manufacturers and distributors. This is not a political issue controlled by the government. Please research this to see the dividends and stock by-backs that the 6 controlling distributors have made. That being said, there are always ways to make more money. You can sell stuff on eBay, Marketplace and Nextdoor. You can shop in thrift stores to find things of value to sell. I used to make several thousand dollars a month just finding stuff at garage sales and thrift store and selling on eBay as that was the only thing available at the time. If you need food, please check for your local food bank as they are a great resource, even just to supplement what you buy.

SPRING FLY CONTROL – For us horse people, it’s time to put up fly traps even though we will have more snow and freezing temperatures. They thaw out fine if they get frozen. Get DE to sprinkle on your manure pile and in the stalls. Check the workings of your pump fly sprayers and make sure they are ready to go. I have seen several feed-through fly-control products that have good reviews too. It is important to get a jump on it to limit flies throughout the summer. Your horses and your neighbors will appreciate it.

VETERINARY CARE FOR HORSES – It’s time for springtime vaccinations and dental checks for your horses. Contact your veterinarian to schedule your appointments. Dental care is essential for horses since their teeth keep growing and they can cause all kinds of behavior and health problems. If your horses don’t have a consistent job, then you might want to check into chiropractic care too. I stated it this way because most working and competition horses get chiropractic and Acuscope monthly. Prevention is the best way to go.

CUSHINGS HORSE’S SPECIAL CARE – I wish I wasn’t as familiar with Cushing’s horses as I am. But I am currently on my 5th Cushing’s horse. Cushing’s is a metabolic disorder that causes all kinds of problems with horses. They need to be on meds for Cushing’s, including Pergolide or Prascend, Thyro-L, Metformin and low sugar, low starch feeds. They also tend to not shed regularly so please watch your daily temperatures and whether or not they are shedding. We had 90-degree temps last April (very unusual for Northwestern Nevada) and my Cushing’s horse had a full winter coat as she usually doesn’t start shedding until June. I was neglectful and since she could not cool down due to her heavy coat, she got laminitis. We are ready this year so as soon as we get warmer temps, she will be body shaved. We also did her in August as she got too much winter coat too soon. I was also please to find out that you can now get Pergolide in a powder form from Chewy. It is less expensive than Prascend and easier than feeding a liquid.

DOGS AND CATS GPS – If your cats are allowed outside, please put a GPS tracker on them. Outside cats live an average of only 2 years so you are taking a chance but by all means, put a tracker on them and ensure that it is always charged. The GPS for dogs is great too and again, make sure they can’t get it off and it is always charged. I have done lost pet readings where the owner forgot to keep the collar or chip charged and the dog became lost. They only work if they are charged.

As always, Love and Light
Terri Jay Cowgirl Shaman

Dear Friends and Clients,

PETS AND THE 4TH OF JULY – The 4th is coming up fast and it is time to prepare to keep your dogs, cats and even horses safe. After having rockets go through my corrals, I stay vigilant. Thank goodness fireworks are illegal in Douglas County, Nevada but it doesn’t stop people from obtaining them and shooting them off. Do not assume your pets will be safe. Do not take them to watch the fireworks with you. (I can’t believe I had to write that.) Dogs will go through glass windows, screen doors, dig out of fences, etc. Same with cats. Make sure everyone is inside and the best bet to keep them safe is to stay home with them and watch the fireworks on TV. I strongly recommend talking to your veterinarian about medication. My preference is for Hydroxyzine because it is an antihistamine with anti-anxiety properties. Many people just use Benadryl so check with your vet on dosage. Thunder shirts work well sometimes, and you can make one out of an ace bandage. Check on the internet. The week after the 4th is my busiest week of the year, searching for lost pets with remote viewing and map dowsing. I’d rather not do any lost pets because they are all safe.

PRODUCTS TOXIC TO PETS – If you use Minoxidil shampoo or conditioner, know that if it gets on your pillow and your cats or dogs lay on the pillow and then lick themselves, they can get seriously ill and even die. Also, many brands of gum and even some peanut butter contains Xylitol. Even a little can kill them. Don’t leave gum where they can get it and read labels for ingredients. Xylitol has also been linked to heart problems in humans so be careful. Foods high in fat can cause pancreatitis in dogs which can be fatal. Other toxic foods are grapes, raisins, chocolate, spices, onions, caffeine, avocadoes and alcohol. Make sure your pets can’t reach bottles of pain killers as they will ingest the ones with a candy coating like Advil and it will cause kidney failure. Be sure to check out the cautions on floor cleaners too as some can be harmful to pets if absorbed into their paws.

DOG FOOD ADVISOR – Please check out this website if you have dogs. It keeps up with the latest recalls and cautions on brands of dog food and even treats that are made with questionable ingredients or have been found to have dangerous objects in them like metal pieces. Way too many popular dog food brands have had recalls so please check them out. Also, remember when you are purchasing dog food, all of the added food coloring is to appeal to the human’s sensibilities because dogs are color blind, so they certainly don’t need multiple colors or different shapes in their dog food. If your dog needs something to chew on, stay away from rawhide chews. They are not digestible and often require surgery to remove. I recommend collagen chews by Red Barn which are digestible. FYI – Cats are carnivores, not omnivores like dogs or people so check your ingredients. It is a waste of money to pay for blueberries, grains, carrots, etc. because they are not a necessary part of a cat’s diet. They only eat meat, fish and poultry.

ALLERGY TESTING – I had my new pup Daisy tested for allergies because she was itching all the time. My vet used NextMune which is part of Spectrum Veterinary, LLC. The vet draws the blood and sends it in, and you get a printout of what they are allergic to so you can try to avoid it. Then they can send you an injectable or a tincture to give the animal on a schedule to hopefully develop immunity to the allergens. I’m thrilled there is a tincture which you spray between the cheek and gums because I am not a fan of injections even though I have done them for years. I think the whole thing was about $500 and in 6 months, we will need another tincture. I was sad to see Daisy is allergic to carrots and apples as they are some of her favorite treats. I was distressed to find out she is allergic to Timothy hay as we feed a Timothy/Orchard mix, and she loves to lay in the loose hay.

GONE PART OF AUGUST – I will be unavailable for readings from August 15th to the 24th or so. If I become available sooner, I will let everyone know on Facebook. I am having my other hip replaced and can’t do readings while on pain meds as I am a feather-weight and get a worse potty mouth than I already have. My pain is interfering with my riding so enough is enough. Yes, I could regrow the cartilage with energy healing, but it is a very slow process and could take years. I’d rather get it done and get back to riding for more than a half hour. So, hurry and schedule your reading appointments ahead of time. I hate doing this because I always want to be available to help all of you, but I will need a little healing time.

SCHEDULING APPOINTMENTS – There is still some confusion about scheduling appointments because you can’t pick your day and time on my website. I am still getting contacted by text and on Messenger to schedule. Please go to my website at www.TerriJay.com/Readings where you can pay at the bottom of the page. Then fill out the form so I have your name and number in an e mail. This is important as many times the payment name and your name are different. And I can’t call you if I don’t have your number. Be sure to allow my e mail address of [email protected]as an accepted address so my e mail to you doesn’t end up in the spam folder. Also, readings are one-on-one only. If other people are listening in on speaker phone, it is a group reading which starts at $125. depending on the number of people. You are welcome to record the call. I know when there are other people there and it is disrespectful. You do not need to be out with your horses if you are having a reading done on them. Gates clanging, buckets banging, horses whinnying, dogs barking and others talking in the background are very distracting. Be in a quiet place where you can take notes.

I hope you find some of this information helpful. E mail me if you have any questions.

Love and Light,
