This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! For Nicole Strickland, a lifelong fascination with the supernatural took on a deeply personal meaning through two unforgettable companions—Max and Kayli. These weren't just beloved pets. They were family. And when their lives ended, something extraordinary began. After Max and Kayli crossed the Rainbow Bridge, Nicole experienced moments that challenged everything we assume about life, death, and the limits of love. Subtle signs. Powerful encounters. A sense of presence that refused to fade. The connection was so profound that it inspired her to write a book honoring their bond—Max and Kayli, Two Remarkable Felines Forever Imprinted on My Heart. But Nicole's story is part of something much larger. Across the world, people report visits, signs, and unmistakable moments from pets they've lost—moments that feel purposeful, comforting, and impossible to dismiss. In this episode of The Grave Talks, we explore a question many quietly ask but rarely say out loud: when our pets leave this world, do they really leave us… or do some bonds continue far beyond life itself?

Do you have a pet? A dog, a cat, a goldfish? If so, why? I don't mean why did you adopt the dear things, I mean why do humans keep pets at all?

As Christmas approaches, Brian From reflects on the tension between seasonal joy and a world marked by violence, loss, and uncertainty, reminding listeners why the message of “good news of great joy for all people” matters precisely when darkness feels overwhelming. The show takes a lighter—but revealing—turn with a discussion of a lawsuit asking whether pets should be recognized as legal dependents, sparking a broader conversation about modern priorities and cultural shifts. Brian closes by exploring why joy can feel so difficult, even in Advent, and why true joy is not rooted in circumstances but anchored in the hope found in Christ.

We learn about the Selena documentary, and the life, career, and death of the Tejano singer, who was killed by a disgruntled employee. We find out the evolutionary advantage of kissing, which animals do it, how scientists define "kissing," and why it actually could protect us from harm. Susie explains why raccoons might become the next domesticated animals, why they seem to be ushering in their pet era, and why experts are convinced it's inevitable. We discuss the new female test dummy (or smartie as Susie calls her), and why it took so long to get it made, why people still aren't happy, and why it's so expensive to make. We're mad at the Guinness World Book of Records again because of their evolving business model and the schemes they're using to make bank. And Susie talks about the Stiller and Meara documentary, about the comedy duo and their famous son, Ben Stiller, and why despite their fame, they're more relatable than you'd think.Brain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:For 50% off your order, head to https://www.dailylook.com and use code BRAINCANDYGo to https://cozyearth.com and use my code BRAINCANDY for up to 20% off!Get $35 off Aura's best-selling Carver Mat frames - named #1 by Wirecutter - by going to https://auraframes.com and using promo code BRAINCANDY at checkout.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of The Canine Paradigm, Pat asks Glenn about travelling around Australia to work with Pet Resorts Australia teams on the floor. The focus is showing staff how to read dog behaviour in real time, so social boarding and daycare stay safe, structured, and enjoyable. We discuss how to set sessions up well, how to brief simple rules, and how to notice the early signs that a group needs a reset. We cover practical ideas staff can apply immediately. For example, start with a calm entry, match energy levels, and use short check-ins to keep arousal steady. Then, read the small signals that precede problems, such as fixed stares, speeding up, stillness, or crowding. If you see them, you can redirect, split, or take a short break before tension grows. Finally, record what mattered so the next shift benefits from the same clarity. It is a straightforward conversation about staff confidence, safer choices, and keeping the experience good for dogs and people.

When Kayla was sixteen, moving into an old Arkansas farmhouse felt like stepping into a quiet, simple life—high on a hill, wrapped in a porch, with a stream running beside it. But it didn't take long to realize the house had a life of its own. What began as melodic whistling no one could trace soon escalated into cabinet doors slamming on their own, nighttime knocks on windows, and the unsettling sense that something unseen was moving through the rooms. The experiences didn't belong to Kayla alone. Friends witnessed them. Pets reacted to them. And one night, Kayla and a friend saw something in the backyard neither could rationalize—a small, fast, troll-like figure that left them scrambling backward in fear. Decades later, the memories remain as vivid as ever. #HauntedFarmhouse #ArkansasHaunting #RealGhostStories #ParanormalExperiences #UnexplainedEncounters #BackyardApparition #HauntedLife #GhostlyWhistling #ParanormalPodcast #SpiritActivity #TrueHaunting  Love real ghost stories?

Keeping houseplants happy and healthy when you have lots going on in your house can be difficult. Nationally known plant expert Tova Martin is back to share some tips for making things easier. We also talk about how to care for traditional holiday plants.

Send us a textA calmer patient isn't just a kinder visit—it's a safer workplace. We sit down with researchers Drs. Gene Pavlovsky and Ellen Everett to unpack new data showing that veterinary teams see decreases in bites and scratches when every staff member completes low-stress handling certification. Partial participation helped culture in pockets, but it didn't move the needle on injuries. The lesson is clear: safety is a system, not a solo skill.We trace where stress truly starts, from the parking lot to the waiting room, and why early moments—carrier handling, first touch, body language checks—set the tone for the entire appointment. Gene and Ellen explain how teams identified high-risk scenarios and compare practices that rely on pre-visit medications or sedation to those built on consistent, low-stress workflows. The surprise? More drugs alone did not equal fewer injuries. Instead, shared training and peer accountability turned the tide: a receptionist who redirects a nervous dog to a quiet space, a certified veterinary technician who swaps scruffing for treats and positioning, and a veterinarian who uses “drive-by” sedation for severely fearful patients.Along the way, we challenge a stubborn myth that heavier restraint makes staff safer. Data and lived experience point the other way—restraint escalates fear, and fear drives defensive aggression. We talk practical tools like Churu for cats, environmental tweaks, and stepwise protocols that protect staff while preserving patient welfare. We also cover the business case: fewer missed days, lower workers' comp exposure, smoother procedures, and clients who notice the difference and come back.If you lead a small animal practice, teach vet students, or simply want better outcomes without bruises or burned-out teams, this conversation maps a path from intention to implementation. Subscribe, share with your team, and leave a rating and review—then tell us what's helped your hospital make low-stress care the norm.JAVMA article: https://doi.org/10.2460/javma.25.05.0325INTERESTED IN SUBMITTING YOUR MANUSCRIPT TO JAVMA ® OR AJVR ® ?

Not even two years ago, we were comparing our rent increases to those of places like Singapore and New York City. But today, many parts of the country are seeing rents tumble. So what does it mean for 2026? Should tenants be making their move to secure a place? Or is it the landlords who should be locking in reliable tenants before things start to change again? And from this month, pets are officially allowed in rentals. A landlord can't turn down a tenant solely for bringing a pet with them - but that along with other notes on your application can make a landlord hesitant.

Most people think their pets just want food, walks, or belly rubs. Alicia Sweezer says they're doing far more than that; they're guiding your spiritual awakening.  In this eye-opening conversation with intuitive guide and professional animal communicator Alicia Sweezer, we uncover how deeply our animals understand us, mirror us, and even help us evolve emotionally, energetically, and spiritually. If you've ever wondered whether your pet takes on your emotions, reacts to your stress, senses your awakening, or sends you intuitive messages… this episode will confirm far more than you expect. Alicia breaks down how pets communicate across dimensions, how they stay connected to universal consciousness, and how their behavior often reveals what's unresolved in us...from emotional regulation to intuition development to resisting our soul purpose.  Animals don't lose their connection to 5D consciousness. We do. And according to Alicia… they're trying to help us get it back.IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN:
