SPECIAL REPORT:
Tragic Fire at Honey Do Ranch. Donations and Prayers Needed
 There was a huge fire at the Honey Do Rescue Ranch in Knapp, WI on the morning of Sunday, December 12th. Approximately 100 animals lost their lives. At the time this newsletter is going out all remaining animals have been temporarily re-homed or taken to the vet for treatment. Honey Do is a non-profit rescue and they lost their barns, animal food, equipment and even their tractor for plowing snow. We have posted donation information here or you can follow them on Facebook.
A Doggy Christmas Surprise
Click here to watch this "must see" video of dogs decorating for the holidays. I LOVE these YouTube sensations that hail from Hungary and are upbeat and fun to watch. And not just because they are entertaining, but because I hope people look at them and say, "I wish my dog could do that!" These videos give people and dogs something to aspire to! And the great things is - it's completely possible that the average American pet dog and their owner can (and SHOULD) learn some of these fun and useful tricks.
Pure Spirit Gives Back
 PureSpirit donates what we can back to the community. Last month we donated $80, 2 bones and 60 pounds of dog food to rescue (Doberman Rescue of Minnesota and Chapter 2 Rescue). Whenever we are asked to do an event like a fundraiser for a local rescue organization, we donate a portion of the proceeds to that rescue. Sometimes we do trade shows or boutique events and in those cases we choose the rescue or animal-related charity that some of the proceeds will go to. If your organization would like to have an animal communicator at your next event, give us a call, we love an opportunity to talk to people about animal communication and training and be able to give back to the community at the same time.
 Give the Gift of Pure Spirit:
Buy One, Get One 1/2 Price
Pure Spirit Gift Certificates are available in any denomination. They come in beautiful gold and black note card and can be given for animal communication worldwide or private dog training sessions in the southwest Twin Cities area. We will mail them to you or directly to the recipient of your choice.
 And now through the end of the year we are offering Buy One 30-minute Animal Communication Consultation Gift Certificate and you will get the second one for 1/2 price! That's TWO 30-minute readings for $97.50. Give them both as gifts or give one and treat yourself and your animal companions to the other!

Practical Use of Animal Communication During Grooming
A recent grooming experience with Jericho the Cat lead me to write this blog article. I think dog, horse, ferret and any other pet owners will find the animal communication tips helpful, too.
New Year's Resolution Solution!
 Dog Training Classes in Waconia and Prior Lake start in January! This is a great way to get together with other people facing similar dog training challenges with support and encouragement from our professional instructors.
Click here for class dates & times in Waconia.

And, yes, the holidays are a busy time of year, but what about your dog? Don't leave him or her out in the cold, so to speak. If you are too busy for a class, private lessons are available and a great way to learn tailored to your needs (see special discount in sidebar). And we can teach a few manners before the family arrives to celebrate!
If you are interested in classes or private lessons, give us a call at (952)226-2660 to get registered or to get your questions answered.
Winter Sports
I learned a few years ago, after living in Minnesota for nearly 15 years, that if you dress right for the winter weather it can actually be fun to be outside in the middle of January! Seriously! That’s when I had my first dog-sledding experience. If you are interested in dog sledding, check out the adventures at Points-Unknown.com.
Cani-cross and Skijoring are my new favorite winter sports that don’t take an entire team of sled dogs to enjoy. I’m not a great cross-country skier, but it’s not that hard. And when you have a dog helping you along – it’s even easier. If you are interested in trying canicross or skijoring,  give us a call (952-226-2622). We go out on the weekends and sometimes during the week. And you don’t need a dog or skis. We can rent skis at the park and I know have access to rescue dogs that need to get out and exercise. So if you want to get out and enjoy the Minnesota winters, try a new sport and help a dog out at the same time, here’s your chance!
