Gazehound is really Gayle Nastasi, a long-time animal care professional. Gayle graduated from the State University of New York at Farmingdale's Animal Sciences program way back in the stone ages (1978). Since then she has held many jobs in the professional animal care field and worked with all kinds of farm animals, as well as every kind of pet imaginable. Some of her positions have included:

Herds"man" at the Muscoot Park Interpretive Farm, in Westchester County, NY, where she had primary care of all farm animals.
Horse care and grooming at Tanrackin Farms thoroughbred race horse breeding farm.
Kennel management at Guiding Eyes for the Blind training school, Yorktown Heights, NY.
Care provider at Northwind Boarding Kennel, Bedford, NY.
Veterinary Assistant at the Somers Animal Hospital, Somers, NY.
A life time of animal companionship, including experience as a breeder of Siamese cats.

In addition to her professional animal care training and life-long calling to serve our animal friends, Gayle has training in the worlds of alternative healing and psychic studies. She is a certified Reiki I practitioner and an certified Therapeutic Touch healer. She also has a wide base of experience with distance healing methods. Much of her spiritual viewpoint radiates from her studies of Native American Philosophy with the Good Medicine Society, for whom she has been a certified teacher. She is also a student of psychic development, studying with one of the most experienced Spiritualist Psychic/Mediums in upstate NY at the Spirit Path Center in Middleburgh. She has studied animal communication skills with Dawn Costerisan Allen, as well as with Dawn Hayman of Spring Farm CARES, and is listed in Penelope Smith's world-wide Animal Communicators directory. She (and her cat Pree) have also been contributing writers to Penelope Smith's publication "Species Link". Gayle has been a professional animal communicator since 2000, with numerous years of study and learning prior.

Why Gazehound? Gayle's 20+ year long association with Salukis, being owned and loved by the breed, has not only made them an important part of who she is, but has given her the internet and personal nick-name of The Gazehound.
