about us

Welcome,

I hope that you enjoy OurAnimalsOurEarth as much as I have enjoyed creating it. 

Let me introduce myself.  My name is Gina Ruggiero von Eiff.  I am the mother of two grown children, Jenn and David, and furmom to three Cockers, Teddy, Lily and Connor, a tweenie-sized Doxie, Snoopy, and four ferrets, Misha ,Penny, Jax and Annie.  I am also a Reiki master in the Usui/Tibetan and Karuna Reiki® traditions.

My belief is that everything that happens in our lives is part of a grand plan for our soul. I know that my furchildren are part of my grand plan. Our AnimalsOurEarth is proof of that. This website is a reflection of who I’ve become because of all that I have learned from loving and caring for my Cockers, and of all that I’ve learned from the people that my Cockers have brought into my life. 

There are many many wonderful animal people in our world, and throughout OurAnimalsOurEarth you will find the direct work or quoted portions of the work of people whom I feel have very valuable information to share. 

You’ll see that I’ve created three sections for OurAnimalsOurEarth:  a section all about Cocker Spaniels, a section about Reiki and a section about our planet.  My intent in sharing this information is twofold:  to help us all become responsible guardians of ourselves, our animals and our planet and to provoke us to think carefully about all aspects of our decisions so that we make informed decisions, from a place of knowledge and strength.  What we think, we do and we create.

Many Blessings,

Gina

Very special thank yous to all of our members who have shared their lives and experiences through their pictures and contributions. And a special thank you to all the unknown faces on the Macromedia, Project Seven and Simple Machines community forums – without your help and patience I could never have done this!
