Client Update

Hi everyone,

First I have to say HAPPY NEW YEAR to all, and that my normal Animal Whispers newsletters will be back shortly with proper Ballyoncree Sanctuary updates and news of my teaching schedule. I have just been sooo busy! I have to ask my clients who are waiting for consults to please be patient. I have been completely inundated with requests for help from Perth people since the Sunday Times article which I am deeply honoured to do, but it means I am booked in advance for about three weeks now. I am getting to you as quickly as I can. If you are at all concerned, please don’t hesitate to email me.

Ballyoncree Animal Sanctuary News

Meanwhile at Ballyoncree Animal Sanctuary, the weather is deliciously cold and overcast. We’re buying water, but have had some wonderful wonderful rain. Three black cockatoos told me more was coming. Thank-you. Most of the animals are sailing through this challenging time. We’re hand feeding 18 horses twice daily currently and buying water for 28, plus a few of the neighbours’ animals and 40 feral goats who seem to love us and have gifted us with one of their own. You’ll find out more about Totem the inside goat in my next issue. The 10 thoroughbreds who we are not hand feeding are thriving in their spring and summer paddocks. They are huge! The girl brumby herd now runs free around the large house paddock and most are getting really tame. Magick, the little black filly, follows us everywhere and we can handle her all over, including picking up her feet. We’re befriending the colts and Finn the stallion. This was meant to be our major activity during our time “off”. But we spent our “break” dealing with animal dramas!

Willow, our deaf Great Dane cross who was such a concern to us in 2006, and who has been brilliant recently, started seizuring again. Three of the cats came down with wombat mange. Dougal, one of the brumbies, had an obstruction, and Andrew dug a large blackberry briar out of his mouth, (thanks Michelle from Roscommon Stud who sent us looking in the right direction — the roof of the mouth). Bindi, a special needs elderly pony, got a nasty stone bruise, and needed pampering in a soft sand stable. And those of you who have heard of our plight with special needs mare Lady M will know she hasn’t been well for a couple of weeks and now has lymphangitis.

Fortunately, animal saints Rebecca from Elementals Equine Therapies and Linda from The Natural Care Company came to the rescue on New Year’s Eve, with phone and product support. Rebecca must have heard my telepathic SOS, and she has also offered to come down and lend a hand at the sanctuary for a couple of days this week— THANK-YOU. Thanks also to Clare Tam who helped Lady M with Theta Healing, which allowed her to accept the healing we were giving her. Lady M is now in a space of wanting to heal, whereas before she thought she was dying, and we did too. She is also receiving wonderful support, wisdom and remedies from animal healer Susan Scott. Thank you Susan!

Lady M also had colic on Christmas Day and then again several days later. Andrew and I have spent many long nights this week nursing her. Our intention now is to rebuild her immune system which she is happy to let us help her with. In fact, she is thrilled her life is not yet over. She tells me she has “wisdom to impart”. When I asked her what that might be, she smiled and said: “Change the heart and you change the condition.” Wise words indeed. She tells me there is more — “but not until I am whole”.

The year of 2007 brings fresh energy and people who have been working to open their hearts and raise their vibration will be seeing and feeling the positive changes. Keep honouring the rain and seeing the world at peace. Unfortunately while convenience euthanasia for animals is still in the consciousness of humankind, we will not see true peace. It breaks my heart that people can use euthanasia on healthy souls who have a life to live and to enjoy. The core of my work, I believe, is to get people to understand that animals are beings with souls and feelings and emotions and that convenience euthanasia is not “putting to sleep”. It is killing. My vision for 2007 again is to establish a wide network of animal guardians, who can help with homes for the homeless and no kill animal shelters established world wide.

Dingo Pups Need Help Urgently

I need to ask you just one more time this season to open your hearts to two beautiful dingo pups who will be killed on Saturday if they cannot be found a home. (See email below) The dingo boys are very stoic but don’t want to die and I believe will make very special companions for the special person or people who take them in. Dingoes bond very strongly with their humans and being intelligent and lively, need people who are committed to giving them the time they need and deserve. I KNOW these people are out there.

The pups are telling me they have the “wisdom of the earth”. “This earth (Australia).” They are telling me they don’t want to live on cement. They want to live with the earth under their feet. They need the earth’s radiation to keep them healthy. They show me Aboriginal people. An ancient land. An ancient line. They remember their ancient line. They are “children of the Earth” . They carry “spiritual gifts”. But they want to “be treated right”. They want to be a companion in the true sense. They would prefer not to be left alone at home all the time. They send me a picture of themselves going to hospitals and schools to “teach and heal”.

In other words, they want to work and be a mascot for dingo kind. And they have been given the perfect start, being already HIGHLY socialised and ready for people. This could be a fabulous career or part time career for someone who is interested in dingo kind, Aboriginal teachings and sacred earth mysteries. Again I am happy to help with free consults for these dogs and their new people/person. On the other hand they would also be content to share their knowledge with one person who could speak for them — like a writer. Or they would be happy to be “home bodies” and speak to me and let me be their voice. Cheeky!! Anyway, they are beautiful beings and deserve a rich and rewarding life which in turn would enrich and reward your life.

Please deal directly with the Dingo Discovery Centre.

Subject: Re: Dingo pups

Hello Billie,

Thanks for your prompt mail.

Our dilemma comes about because it is definitely NOT the impulse acquisition we need for dingoes. They are NOT dogs - more like cats which eat dog food and assume a similar disguise to a dog. Each year we must rear a couple more pups than we have ordered to cover for accidents, or unforseen problems and what normally occurs is that we have these excess pups euthanased if we cannot get them properly placed. This year, however we undertook an extensive socialisation programme with the pups - they saw 500 people in one weekend - and consequently LOVE greeting visitors. Also they have crept under our skins, so the horrible truth time has come upon us and is forcing us to make one last ditch effort for these last two males. Breeding time is already commencing, when the adults get very testy, especially with the youngsters. In the wild it is the "driving out" time before mating. The same happens here, and we have limited space for the colony. There is no shortage of people who want to sponsor, but that is only food. Housing costs us about $5,000 per inmate, and my husband wants to retire! Also we have made a law that we will not keep any more animals than we (I) can adequately care for alone.(having seen what happens when such controls are not in place).

Anybody contemplating having a dingo must know in advance what they are taking on. Dingoes live to VERY old age in captivity, and bond to their surroundings and immediate people for life, so only utterly settled owners really succeed. Also it is KEY to have an escape proof enclosure if one wants to have a trouble free life free from worry that the dingo will kill the neighbour's cat or fluffy dog - or worse their livestock. If you click on our website link below, one can find our Dingo Carer's Handbook" which can be downloaded from one of the pages (Owning a Dingo).

So at this stage, we really are looking for someone who has perhaps previously owned a dingo, or an experienced dog owner with suitable facilities. Q'ld outlaws ownership of Dingoes, NSW has total deregulation, making it possible for anyone to have one, SA, Tas. - no go. Victoria one must commit to getting a permit from DPI (we help with this). WA is in the process of making dingo ownership simple and legal, and NT and ACT there is no bar - but in EVERY case WE need to be convinced that there is a mighty degree of responsibility present in the would be owner.

Normally we ask $1,000 for our pups, but in our desperation, the right owners can have either of these males gratis. All proceeds from pup sales go back into the care of our colony. Nobody subsidises us, we are self funded. A normal happy life for these beautiful animals is our goal at this stage.

Here's a photo taken yesterday of one of the pups.

Thanks in hope that answers to our prayers are out there (and rain). Our absolute deadline is Saturday (before our vet goes interstate).
