So if there's things that aren't right, you always ask yourself, could I have done that different? Could I have managed that different? Did we miss something? Could we have tested for something? And you get better and better and better. So overnight success doesn't mean you knew what you were doing when you went in there. And just when you think you know everything, you're going to get your ass handed to you again and again. So you learn and you get better. And you learn and you get better. If you don't learn and get better, well, you're an idiot. Okay. And so we've got to be careful with this victim mentality because, animals don't play victim. They don't wake up every day and be like,

who gave me this limp? They're like, oh, I'm limping because I overdid it chasing that squirrel yesterday. Especially in Texas. Yeah, exactly. So you don't, we can't. We've got to cut that out. Like, if you thought more like an animal, we'd actually all be well better behaved.

How does a dog know that there's an earthquake about to hit five minutes later? What's your theory? Where are animals getting their download from? So if you... My name's Rudy Moore, host of Living the Red Life podcast, and I'm here to change the way you see a

life in your earpiece every single week. If you're ready to start living the red life, ditch the blue pill, take the red pill, join me in Wonderland and change your life. Welcome to another episode of Living Your Legacy podcast, the Red Life edition. For Insight Success, I am Ray Gutierrez. Joining me today is Dr. Clara Scott. Not any ordinary veterinarian. Dr. Clara, you speak through animals through energy.

Yes. Yes. I love reading animals and feeling their energy. energy. Kind of like humans, you know, you can feel when someone comes in with good intentions versus bad intentions. Well, I say that. Not everybody can feel it. But when you're centered and you're mindful and you're present in situations, you definitely can feel the animals. And so what people don't realize is you take all our five senses to the umpteenth degree. And those are the ones we know about, right? So six sense is definitely very real. And there's probably more senses than just six, if not that.

And so really being intuitive and aware of what they're doing, they speak. So animals speak, just like humans speak. And sometimes honestly, it's easier for me to talk to an animal than it is a human. So it's just it's beautiful energy when you when you tap into that gift. And that's my gift, honestly. So doctor, welcome to the show. Thank you. We just literally filmed your episode for Insight Success for Legacy Maker.

Congratulations. You're a legacy maker now. Yay. How do you feel? I feel good. I feel good. This is a milestone for me, obviously. I laugh about overnight success because we've been 20 years plus working on this project and building, you know, who and what we are for the animals. What are you building? What have you built and what are you continuing to build? You know, it's been an interesting journey, Ray. My baby is definitely my family vet. And so when I designed my family vet, I had this vision to create a safe place for animals and humans to feel that love and to grow and have as much time as we could together.

Like that was the goal. Sure. And so my dream was a boarding facility. So when my families want to go somewhere, they knew that I was literally a phone call away if their animals were in our care and they need something. And so that came to fruition. And that place is called blessed paws. So Bless Paws is an extension of my family vet. And that was an interesting story because I truly had this vision and I was going to play definitely

on a Texas theme. And you probably heard of the best little whorehouse in Texas, which has been around forever. I was going to create the best little board house in Texas. And so after my come to Jesus in 2012, which was a pretty traumatic experience, I had this vision of going from cowgirls and cowboys to creating just this beautiful sanctuary. And I had seen a lot of the missions that had been built along the California coast. And I, for lack of a better word, I wanted a mission. And so Blessed Paws came to light.

And so instead of having Cowboys and Cowgirls as a theme, I literally have saints and disciples. So we have Saint's sweets at Blessed Paws, which are huge rooms. for people like me that have multiple pets, including my seven dogs. So we have huge rooms that can house a bunch of smaller dogs or house big dogs or house police dogs. And so don't ever break in a blessed pause because trust me, it is guarded well. But there's camera systems.

So my owners can watch their pets if they're on vacation. And they do. I have some owners that decorate the rooms for their pets. So it's actually a lot of fun having blessed paws. But it is an extension of my family vet. So the big rooms are called the saint suites. Not that your dog's a saint, but they're treated like a saint. Sure.

The smaller rooms in the center are called disciple suites. And then I have one version, a little bit smaller than that, called the meditation centers. And so we've kind of definitely built this legacy on treating animals like they deserve to be treated. And so I have a phenomenal group of people running that group with my family vet, both locations, including my family vet Montgomery. We spend a lot of energy on. culture and developing skill within the technicians to love and serve the animals. Love and serve. Talk about that culture.

Saints, anyone could have named their rooms or suites or meeting rooms, you know, Room A, but there's a culture to that. Talk about where you grew up and why this is so significant to your journey. Coming from West Texas, I was raised Catholic, Christian, and just a loving environment. You know, I was definitely had high standards to live by and a very disciplined household. As all Texans should be. As how Texans should be, definitely conservative. Speaking as a fellow Floridian.

Yeah, I mean, it was typical, right? So you grew up in West Texas. My dad was ex-Navy. He was a U.S. Customs Inspector. My mom was a teacher. I spoke both languages from the beginning. So I had to learn both. So, Cambiano Languages, no I have to change mentally.

So I can change languages without slowing down. And it does something to the mind. It develops the mind differently. So if you learn one thing in this world to learn a second language, because it can save your mind at the end. But it's a beautiful culture because it brings in a lot of that energy, a lot of that love, a lot of that forgiveness, because how different cultures embrace the animals varies.

And you see this in the veterinary community because different cultures treat their animals differently. It's that simple. But the goal is the same. And once an animal connects to that human, the human's going to do anything for it. Absolutely. And so we don't use the word it at my place of practice or business. We say he or she because everybody's a he or she, whether they're fixed or not. And they all came from somewhere, you know.

And so knowing how that love develops in my, in my businesses is something that I can't, you cannot work for me or with me if you don't have that love. Like you can feel it. Sure. And so any client that comes in feels it. They feel it. And they, they know that we're in it to win it for their babies. Absolutely. Not a lot of folks possess that ability to speak animal.

And it doesn't really require actual sound from her voice. It's just a look, an energy. Talk about how you've tapped into that. that. And it's actually, you know, I'd hate to say, weaponized your healing process because you're armed. You know what you're doing and you've helped thousands of animals, thousands of souls, I might like to say it. Well, it's definitely different because I could walk in and look at my surgery patients for the morning and be like, watch this one. He's going to pull something on me, you know, and so I'll premedicate or do something different. So you do practice medicine different

for those animals because you can feel they're right. And the owners to a specific. And the owners, absolutely and even when an owner is super scared for a surgery I'm like don't put that juju on me I don't I mean like we have to go in there with a positive attitude knowing that we're doing the best we can and so having that communication with the client having that communication with the pet praise God we are successful I mean you can feel that energy and you can feel that love now when something goes awry which you do enough of anything something's going to happen you've got to break it down for literally what it was because if you think imagine You're the veterinarian. You're controlling the anesthetics. You're controlling all medications going into these animals. Things can still happen.

Absolutely. You're not Jesus. You can watch the heart rate. You can watch the breathing, but at the end of the day, it is what it is. So if there's things that aren't right, you always ask yourself, could I have done that different? Could I have managed that different? Did we miss something? Could we have tested for something?

And you get better and better and better. So overnight success doesn't mean you knew what you were doing when you went in there. And just when you think you know everything, you're going to get your ass handed to you again and again. So you learn and you get better. and you learn and you get better. If you don't learn and get better, well, you're an idiot. Okay.

So. You hear that? If you don't learn and get better, you're an idiot. Yeah. I mean, seriously. Like you,

how many, how many times do you want the lesson sent to you? Sure. How many times? But most folks don't know, but most folks don't know that that lesson's being sent by the divine.

They just think they're having a really bad Monday constantly. I mean, but that's the victim mentality that we're living in. Like, this is the victim mentality. What are you talking about? You're a veterinarian. And how did you hear that?

Teenagers. I was like, they throw this terminology at me, right? I feel like you're being aggressive. I'm like, I just asked you to clean your room. I'm trying to make an impact mom. Like, that's not aggressive. Like, I'm asking you not to have ants or cockroaches. It's not a high demand, okay?

So it's very interesting because that mental state is something that I'm seeing change. So, again, I'm a couple of generations removed, literally, from some of my employees. And it's, they do not think the same. And so we've got to be careful with this victim mentality because the animals don't play victim. No. They don't wake up every day and be like, who gave me this limp? They're like, oh, I'm limping because I overdid it chasing that squirrel yesterday. Especially in Texas.

Yeah, exactly. So you don't, we can't. We've got to cut that out. Like if you thought more like an animal, we'd actually all be well better behaved, right? You have a matter of fact. We have to think, okay, you know what? I'm not going to pick a fight with that big dog because it's a big dog. Go your way.

So I think truly if we just re-center and are mindful of our surroundings and are mindful of what we're doing with the animal on any given day, bingo. Now, take that to the umpteenth level. And like you're working with me right now as we're having this conversation, being mindful, being present, feeling my energy. You can't do that with everybody. Why? Because some people won't let you in. And they're not deserving of it either. Well, there you go.

And that's the way to think about it. And so what would the world be like if we were transparent and feel the flow of love between one another? Like, you're here because you feel this love and this energy and this artistry and what you do. I'm here because I feel that love for the animals. And we're talking about literally the same thing. Yes. And it's so beautiful to come together for that union of what are we here for. But all of this victimization is noise.

It's absolutely noise. So we've got to change the mindset of our youth that nobody's aggressive, nobody's toxic. Like those words in and of themselves are toxic. Yes. It's toxic. Okay. So what is toxic? Toxic means it's a poison and it's getting you.

I asked my employees one day, what is toxic mean to you? Because I feel like you're throwing this terminology around too easy. They're like, it's when something doesn't serve me. That's great. And I'm like, what the hell is that mean? What the hell? Yeah. I'm like, something doesn't serve you.

I'm like nobody's serving me and I'm the owner of this joint. Wow. Okay. Like toxic means something's going to harm you. So you don't say I'm working in a toxic environment or that person is toxic because they don't serve you. I mean, that mentality is victimization and privilege, right? Right. Like you can't think that way because then the whole world is going to be toxic.

Right. No, the whole world is beautiful. You're technically toxic. Just saying. So when you think about your outlook and your attitude and how you approach things. So imagine. So imagine walking into a room and the technician has already told you that this dog is aggressive. What is your attitude going in?

Is your attitude going one? Oh, crap. I'm going to have to give him a pop into butt so I can get my work done today because I got to get my work done today. Or am I going to re-center, connect with them and try to get my job done? So when I go in, I tell the owner, say, look, I know that you don't want this dog to bite me and I don't want this dog to bite you holding it. So what I'm going to ask you to do is just take a minute and take a deep breath. Take a deep breath with me and I want you to re-center and I want you to think that you have the best dog ever. Like this dog loves everybody.

This dog is super nice. I want you to project to me the best dog ever because if you're thinking this dog's going to bite somebody, it's going to live up to that. So what I, it's got it in its mind and you're actually producing that. Producing the vivid in the image and the dog can see it. Yeah. And so I want you to just, I need you to give me some good energy right now. Okay. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to put a movement.

muzzle on this dog because I don't want to get big, but we're going to get our job done without sedating the dog. So if you're re-center and I recenter and the dog's in agreement that it's going to let this go down, we're going to make it happen today. Otherwise, now we're going to come in with some medication so that we can chill out a little bit so I can get my job done. And honestly, 55% of the time with aggressives, I get it done. There's another 10 to 20 that might get a little bit of medication. And then another maybe 5%, they're like, no, you're going to have to be knocked out, buddy. they've just had too much trauma. Yeah.

And so when we think about humans, we are who we are because of trauma. Absolutely. You know, and trauma either makes you or breaks you, right? And so for me, knowing that, like, I don't know what this dog has been through. I have no idea. Sure. You know? And so for me, going in there as a veterinarian and just giving straight love for what it is, we conquer.

With so much knowledge and you know so much about animals and their souls and their spirit and energy, What is going on through, let's say, a dog or a cat when they know they're going to the veterinary, even though they're home, but they really feel that they start shaking. How can they know that they're heading through the vet? How does a dog know that there's an earthquake about to hit five minutes later? What's your theory? Where are animals getting their download from? So if you understand how you don't know, you don't know, we don't know. We don't know.

We're not supposed to. We're not supposed to. We're just monkeys with her. But I want you to think about how a deer knows how to get back to where it's at. So there is magnetic connection in the earth that these animals know where to fly. Like there's animals that go around the world and just do their circles, like, you know, certain whales, certain birds, you know, and how do they know where they're going? They'll be to hear a lot longer than we have. Correct.

Like, oh, I just feel like swinging by Australia today, you know. And so animals know where they're going by the pool of the earth. So last night we had a great moon. And the moon was absolutely gorgeous. and I was kind of sad that I didn't get to see the blood moon. So I called my niece in Barcelona. I'm like, wake up. You're getting to see it red.

And she's like, we're sleeping. I'm like, get up. I want to see the blood moon. And so all of our ancestors looked at the moon. They looked at the stars. They looked at. And they understood that there was something outside ourselves that we really didn't know. We really didn't know.

And so when you approach medicine that you really don't know everything. So just when you think you do, they're going to find something else. Sure. I remember literally. is how old I am, that they understood that the nucleus was the powerhouse of the cell. Okay. Well, then literally in my lifetime, they figured out that mitochondria had DNA too. Now, to the young person, that might be like, yeah, we've known that our whole lives.

Yeah, but no, not my life. And so as we dive deeper with the fancier microscopes and fancier telescopes, we're finding out things like never before. Well, imagine doing that with the mind. Mm-hmm. Okay? So we don't know. And nobody could really pinpoint things, right?

You can't say, oh, that's going to be exactly like that or that's, it doesn't work that way. Sure, sure. The only thing that you can do is remove the noise. And so to answer your question, how does a dog know it's going to a vet or a different route? Dogs know the route better than your teenagers, I promise, because they're not screenagers or not on the phone. Screen ageers, that's another good one. They're not looking outside. They're looking outside and they're taking in the smells.

they're taking in the way the car turns. Ears. Frequency, everything. Uh-huh. My very first vet clinic was off a dirt road. Imagine the dogs. Everybody knew they were coming to the vet as soon as they turned on that dirt road. Well, now I'm off a main road and I'm not too far from some good French rise for them.

Sure, sure. And so ultimately, when they walk in and picking up all of that, so if animals are eliminating the noise, they're going to pick up on things. They have a heightened sense of awareness. Oh, yeah. But not only they're they reading the surroundings, they're reading the person coming out then. They're reading the technician. So everything that we do at my family vet and bless paws is done on a microscopic level. Think about that for a second.

The details. So from the moment the pet walks in to when they're placed into room, to how they're held for a blood draw, to how they're held for sample taking matters. Touch matters because their energy is coming in to you. Your energy is going into them. And there's this interchange of community, just like we're having right now. Absolutely. And so understanding that to the umpting effect where we don't understand what's happening.

is giving it respect. It's that simple. So just like you would, when you're talking to your child, treating that child and talking to that child with respect, you're going to do the same thing for a pet and you're going to do the same thing with an employee. You're going to do the same thing with yourself. Absolutely. Like are you respecting yourself?

Are you loving yourself? Are you taking care of things? And so when you intentionally go into the world with that force of love and commitment and mindfulness, you're reaching a whole other level of intentionality. Yep. And so what I live in a day, sometimes people don't live in a month. For sure. And why?

Because I'm going out there with intention. When I put my feet on the ground, it's game on. So you have an upper hand as a veterinarian because folks like yourself, without the animals, are on social media looking for affirmation through strangers. Your affirmation is through animals. I actually wanted to take a moment and give us the long list of bontages of all the animals you've own, what types of animals, because these animals are your. affirmation. They basically say, no,

Homegrove's the real deal. But your affirmation is coming through the same way. It might not be, maybe you can't own a pet because you're traveling a lot, but then God sends you butterflies. That's very true. And everywhere you go, you see this butterfly. Maybe it's a red cardinal. Yes. Okay, maybe it's a deer

out of the blue. Maybe it's a raccoon. I had sequels in Switzerland. Seagulls, there you go. I love rats. Do you? Yeah, I love rats. Lolo is not a fan. I have a rat Christmas tree. I wear rat clothing. I love rats. I just think they're the funnest. Most, if I had to say who was the entrepreneur of the animal world, it's rats. You really should just do another alter ego and

create this rat queen. We need to see books, merch. No one is citing what the rats like you have. So I go, I go places and I look for the rats. What? Yes. I have seen rats in Paris. I see rats all the time in New York. What are the rats like in Miami? Oh my gosh. Well, we won't go. there, but they're on Lincoln Road here. I was just going to say, I'm talking about the rats, not the humans, sorry. What's very, very interesting is rats are

innovative. They always find places to eat. They multiply quickly, and they live in communities. And so when you think about how they interact, how they talk, I mean, they are on it. And they suffer. Like, I've caught rats, because they're

past, I'm sorry. And when they're caught, I can feel their fear, their little squeaks are like, oh my God, what am I doing? It's just like, it's a Disney movie. It's just like, I can hear you. You can even have to slow when I caught them. It is very difficult.

I am crying because I'm like, oh, my God, this poor little guy is not even out. He's suffering now. He's trying to get home. He's trying to, what have I done? And it's just, I'm like. Well, and because they're just trying to stay alive. And that's, I think, the point that you feel in your heart.

They're just trying to stay alive. Like, it's your fault. You left the food out, okay? Oh, great. Blame it on me. But clean your room, teenager. But no, it's very interesting how animals survive and what they do. So like our joke right now is the oodles.

Everybody wants an oodle. They don't shed. They're super intelligent. So anything oodle, you got Labradoodles, you got golden doodles, you got Lernodooodles. Now, we love them in the veterinary industry because they're our bread and butter. They got problems, right? Just like any other breed. But the oodles are very, very interesting because of what energy they bring.

but they're really good at creating those emotional bonds. And that's why people love them. And so you have some dogs that you think, do they really have an emotional bond? Like, let's take a blue healer, a cowboy. It's a cowboy dog, right? So if you understand that each breed has their mission, yeah, that each breed has their mission.

So like, what is a Chihuahua's mission to control the earth and destroy everyone? Yeah, talk about, honestly, one taco out of time. Yeah, exactly. And one Godzilla at a time. So Maltese are there to. love and serve. Healers are there to heal and get keep you routed in rooms. So we're border collies like they keep you in a room. What about Boston Terriers? I had two in Austin. Yeah, Boston Terriers are different energy. They're very, very high strong. They are absolutely spirit filled because they're

constantly looking for movement. And so they pick up on different energy. What's very interesting, I've had some of the longest living ones around. And they are so interesting what my favorite one was Dinah. And you could tell when she goes, so when an animal picks up a spirit in your room, for example, they would sit there and stare at a corner. They will just sit there and be like, there's something there. There's something there. And you're like,

there's nothing there. Go to bed. And they will sit there and they'll keep watching. Yep. Yep. Sometimes they growl. Sometimes they'll watch the movement. It's so crazy. Because again, how much do we really know? And what do the animals know that we don't? They know where to go. They know where they're going. They know what

they're doing. They don't. They're not victims. They don't worry about politics. They are like the perfectness of God's creatures. I mean, it's so much fun being a veterinarian in this day and age because now more than ever we connect. So growing up, I remember two random foods out back in the day. Now we have department stores of foods for the dogs. Yeah. You know? And so we've definitely come a long way. And the wording was we've gone from the backyard to the bedroom. And now mind you, some people, the dog sleeps in the bed and the other house sleeps in the living room, you know. So it's kind of crazy how far we come. But it's a great time to be a veterinarian. Now with that growth and love and devotion comes pressure. Oh yeah.

Comes pressure. Pressure to keep the pet alive. Pressure emotionally. Pressure spiritually. Pressure physically. So the veterinary teams and the boarding facility places are under a lot more pressure than ever before because we have to recognize that these are people's kids. Absolutely. Fur babies is like to call them. babies big time um gosh i i can sit here for another for another 20 30 minutes and and and talk her head off about especially the divine connection between animals and the spiritual realm how animals are truly our third eye when we don't have one absolutely it's a actually help us very much guidance that was lost think about how much lost because when you look at the pyramids for

example oh yeah and the involving and all the things cats and then watching and watching and watching so there's so much because of the noise that has become about yes we have lost that connection. So they see... And cats have become more dormant. Yeah, actually. Exactly. So I kind of think of the whole play Wicked where the animals used to talk and then they stopped talking. Yeah. There's some reality in that. Absolutely. 100%. Maybe the animals were definitely talking before, obviously, in Genesis. Or we forgot just to how to listen. We forgot to listen. We forgot to listen. We forgot to listen. There's too much noise. Or to your point to Genesis where you were just going to say, I interrupted you. With Genesis, right? Because the animals were talking.

Yeah. One day we were out talking and the next. Now they're not talking. I wonder why. Because we're not listening. We're not listening to anything. Maybe you'll listen to this podcast because you'll learn something. While staring at your dog while on the drive to work. Yeah.

Well, I'm telling you, they talk. They talk. And so cats are especially interesting because cats are perfect in that they only talk to you if you're talking to them. So they kind of sit still and they've calculated everything. So what I tell my team is the second. they walk in with a cat carrier, that cat already knows where the exit door is. So they were watching how to get in the clinic and how to escape. So as soon as you open that door, it's game on.

They've already thought about how high the cabinet is, where the hole is at the bottom of the cabin. The cat's already scoped up the whole place. The whole place has been scoped out. Like they're looking, they've got a 360 and they've checked it all out. So again, as soon as you open that door, it's game on. So it's kind of fun working with teams to try to talk about. animal behavior because it's way more than that. Animal behavior is just the surface. Oh, yeah. Yes, we can read some of the signs,

but actually communicating is a whole other level. And I didn't realize this was a gift. It took me a hot minute because, again, as a detailist, I was holding my teams to a higher standard. And I had come in on a Sunday just to do the paperwork at the vet clinic. And I see this dog that they were walking to go to the bathroom. And I said, that dog is leaving me. like that dog's going to die.

Like, why, why is this dog here? And why haven't the owner's been called? They're like, well, they try to get a hold of the owners, but the owners are on a cruise. And the veterinarian charge of the case knows that this dog is sick. And I said, okay. So I call the owner and I leave a message. I said, look, Rufus doesn't look good. I feel like we're going to lose him.

I may even lose him tonight. But I don't know. Please, please, please get here first thing in the morning. I know you're getting off this cruise ship tonight. So the next morning, I was surgeon on duty. Again, the dog was not my case. So I go into the surgery room knowing that that dog's leaving me, right? So I go into the surgery room and I'm taking care of surgeries.

And one of the technicians comes in and says, hey, the dog passed away on the way to the specialty hospital. I'm like, why were we sending that dog to the specialty hospital when we knew it was going to die? I'm like, get the doctor in charge. So here comes the veterinarian. And I said, why would you send Rufus to the specialty hospital where these people keep spending money? when you knew Rufus was going to die. He's like, I didn't know Rufus was going to die. So what was crazy is I knew this was coming.

Literally 30 minutes later, the owner wants to talk to me. Okay, no problem. So we get on the phone and they're like, we don't understand what happened. You left a message yesterday saying Rufus was going to leave us. The doctor this morning said for us to go get an ultrasound at the specialty hospital and the dog died in the car with us. It was pretty traumatic for us and the kids. And I said, I understand that. but Rufus held out for you.

You were the end of the circle. He held out for you. I said, I knew Rufus was leaving. I mentioned that to you. But he held on with every single breath until the entire family was there. And so I know that was traumatic for you, but that's what Rufus wanted.

It was the closure of the circle. And so if you understand that your role was to love and that your role was to be present for him, then it makes a little more sense why he held out because he didn't want to die with us and he didn't want to die alone. He wanted you and you were there. And it gave them a little piece, but they just still didn't understand why one veterinarian saw something and one veterinarian didn't. And it was kind of an eye opener for me because I was upset with that veterinarian. I'm like, stop making people spend money if you know they're going to die. He's like, I didn't know. Like, what are you supposed to say

back to that? I'm like, okay. Is it because I saw signs or is it because the, yeah, communicated with me? What was it that I saw that they didn't see? I couldn't put my finger on it because to me it was obvious. To me it was that obvious. I saw them just walking the dog and I said he's leaving me. So that was kind of a wake up call to me to be like, okay, like trust your intuition, trust that feeling, trust whatever you want to call it because you can't really put a name. People call it energy. People call it spirit. People call it vibes. I know that's the latest word. what vibe are you getting. But you can feel sunshine from people, or you can feel clouds.

I look at people and sometimes I size them up as animals. I won't tell you what you look like, Ray. Is it a Pomeranian? It's definitely a Pomeranian. Pomeranians always have good hair. Remember that. I love Pomeranians. Do you?

They're like little lions. We've got two. I've got Felix is one of my Pomeranians and Zachary. Nice. Great names. They're fun. Well, we're going to end it with Pomeranians. We're a bit over time, which is great, but that's,

good, that's good vibes. Before we wrap up, how can people find you? How can people discover more about you? Where is this amazing location? We are at my family vet in Spring, Texas, and my family vet Montgomery in Montgomery, Texas. And Bless Paws is in Spring, Texas. So that's the easiest way to find me and the businesses and lots of animal love. So if you need special loving care, that's a place to go. Doctor, it was such a joy to have the interview and the podcast. No, thank you, Ray. I appreciate both of you. Right on. I'm looking forward to your next step, your next journey. Gosh, there's, there's so many, there's so many souls within animals that need to be touched and healed with your power. Thank you so much. I wouldn't call it my power. I borrow it from the,

from the heavens above. Right on. With that, concludes yet another episode of the Living Your Legacy podcast for Inside Success. I am Ray Gutierrez. Thanks again, Doc. Thank you. Right on.
