The Elegance of Eli Goes Back A'ways!






Gidget and I would like to introduce you to Eli, the Chihuahua, and our Celebrity Pet of The Month. I met Eli and his lovely owner, Karen Biehl when we were on location for a segment of Michael Somerville’s FLN show, Wingman. Eli, who also happens to be a rescue, won the Milk Bone Small Dog Biscuit Contest in 2007. If you are a small dog owner, chances are good that you ran into Eli’s sweet little face on the cover of the box!

Eli & Karen travel to schools, hospitals, charities, and attend just about every red carpet dog event, in their plight to bring cheer and love to the world. This good-will does not surprise me, as I sense a past life connection that was quite similar to what they do now. However, back then, they traveled by horse and buggy in all kinds of weather, stopping at neighboring villages and spreading positive energy.

The energy I pick up on is of the year 1825-1845, and a very different Manhattan. Eli and Karen lived above a lovely bistro on the second floor of a brownstone. In this past life, Karen’s family were of great financial worth and owned the building, as well as the bistro. Eli, wearing a tie not unlike the one he is sporting in this photo, was the bistro greeter. He was often found sitting in a chair at a checkered-clothed table that was strategically placed just inside the front door.

They shared a love of pastry, and also a particularly special connection to music. It was not unusual for Karen to tuck Eli inside her cape and sneak him into the opera house so he could enjoy the music, too. The bond these two shared, and continue to share, transcends time and delves into a very special karma.
