Communicating with pets after their death

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

I am fascinated by communications with pets who have transitioned. Having left all the worldly cares behind some are off and running towards their next life experience. Some pause to watch over their loved ones who need comfort as they grieve. Still others need time to recuperate. The experiences are as varied as the creatures themselves.

Owners so often agonize over making “the decision.” Is it the right time? Am I being selfish to wait? Animals understand intention. If the intention is good then they can easily make peace with your decision.

I am reminded of the transitioned dog I communicated with who was in shock. There was no warning. Just a quick trip to the vet and it was over. It would have eased her transition had her owners spent just a few minutes explaining to her what was about to happen. But even then she was able to get past it and explore her new world.

A cat I visited with shortly before his death was simply furious at finding himself trapped. He fussed and fumed and struggled with everything he had in him until he became resigned to his impending death. The next time I communicated with him he had transitioned and was totally at peace. His only concern was for his grieving “mom” who was inconsolable that she had been unable to find his body. He wanted her to understand that the body was no longer important and to please not try to find it as that would only cause her more pain. He urged her to adopt another feline soon and move forward rather than stay stuck in the past with her grief.

There are many more stories, some I will share in future posts. But, before I conclude, I wanted to pass along a message from the spirit animal’s perspective on the topic:

They feel the burden of your grief and worry like a string tethering them to your world. It is up to the human to do their part to let go and allow their pet to move on. Letting go is more than just making the decision to euthanize. It is thanking them for their presence in your life, for the joy and memories. then letting go and moving on with your life. You do no honor to your pet by remaining stuck in grief and depression. If you need them to spend time with you in spirit they are perfectly willing to do that, most of the time. Again you must allow it and then acknowledge their gift. Appreciate that they are giving more of their attention to you than to moving on and do not take advantage of it. Use the time to pull yourself together and move on. Know that they are perfectly happy for you to find another pet. In fact you do them great honor by doing so. It means that you are willing to open your heart to another and share the love as you did with them. You can do them no greater honor.

Do not agonize over whether to get another pet. If you feel another would fit into your life then go ahead and do it. The sooner the better as you will begin the healing process and then your transitioned pet will be able to move on that much quicker. If they feel they left you worse off than when they found you they will feel dishonored.  It’s like a black cloud hanging over them. It means they did not do their part in your life to prepare you for moving forward. They do not want to hold you back. They want you to continue growing and expanding just as they are. That is the greatest gift you can give them once they have crossed over.

Have you communicated with a pet who has transitioned? Was it what you expected? Did it give you comfort? I’d love to hear your story. Please click on comments below to share your experience.

Should we allow pandas to die out?

Sunday, October 11th, 2009

Chris Packham, a British wildlife expert, incited a firestorm in an interview with RadioTimes where he opined that perhaps we should allow Pandas to become extinct.

Packham’s assertion that the Panda as a species “has gone down an evolutionary cul-de-sac of its own accord” is flawed logic. It is not the fault of Pandas that their habitat has been eaten up by development.

Packham is not very fond of the human race either and has been quoted as saying that he wouldn’t mind seeing us extinct. However, he does present a question worth examining. Should we intervene to preserve a species that is incapable of sustaining life? (Panda can no longer procreate without the aid of artificial insemination.)

Further, if one agrees with Mr. Packham, what are the consequences for other endangered species? This is turning Darwin’s theory on its ear. It’s supposed to be survival of the fittest not survival of the cutest.

Giant Panda, an endangered species

Of course, being an animal communicator my reaction was: Has anyone asked the Pandas what they want? What lessons are Pandas here to teach us? I decided to go to the source and get their side of the story.

Pet Chatter: What do Pandas think about their living situation and inability to procreate?

Panda: “We are the Panda and we say to you that our lives in the now are not what they should be. We were meant to live a more nomadic life, moving from one forest to another. We were once a great species who roamed many hundreds of miles. We lived in peace but did not hesitate to protect our own when it was necessary. Today we are so fat and inert that we are incapable of protecting even ourselves. It is sad to see our kind in this sorry state. The Panda that you know today bears little resemblance to our ancestors.”

“We were never meant to stay cramped in a small space. We need variety. Our lives are lived in limitation. We were once a noble species, vibrant and healthy. Because of our confinement we have deteriorated to nothing more than parasites. Without our hosts we could not survive. This is not the life our species was meant to live.

“What you call depression is rank among our members. It is difficult to find joy in our days, which are devoid of the pleasures and basic needs of our ancestors. We feel that ancestral thread and mourn the state our species has devolved to.”

“Is it any wonder that we have no enthusiasm for mating? How can we in good conscience sentence our young to this bland, boring, existence? It surely is existence and not living. You would not wish this on your enemy, yet you force us to exist this way. Please give us back our dignity. Let us live or die on our own terms. Surely that is a mercy that you can afford to us? If we cease to exist then that is as it was meant to be. Our spirits will be free to come back in other forms or not as we choose. You would be showing us a great kindness to end this madness.”

“If you do not stop forcing babies upon our females the day will come when there are no more beings willing to take the form of Panda and it won’t matter what tricks you use, we will no longer bear life.”

“We do not blame humans for the state we have come to, but we beseech you to consider our feelings and respect our wishes. Please.”

“Give us our freedom. We have become weak and dull. We are an embarrassment to our species. It would be a kindness to let us simply fade away.”

Pet Chatter: If it is so bad why do souls continue to incarnate as Pandas?

Panda: “Like all our incarnations we choose them for the experience. Some of us choose Panda because we have lived very exciting lives, perhaps too exciting in some cases, and this time we want something a bit calmer. It’s for the contrasting experience, you see. How can we appreciate being a whale, for instance, if we have never known the experience of being trapped in such a limited, puny existence? We do not choose to incarnate as Panda a second time. Once has been enough, although we suppose it is possible that one day a being might. By and large we find this unfathomable. That is why our species has declined. There are fewer and fewer who are willing to come and experience Panda life. One can only eat so much bamboo before one begins to choke on it. Life is to be savored and there is precious little savoring going on among Pandas.

Should you allow us to become extinct? Absolutely. What is the point in promulgating a species that is so forlorn and undeserving of the space they occupy? We were once a great nation but those days are long past. Allow us the dignity to close the chapter on this failed line. There are many other life opportunities for our beings to occupy. We will not weep when Panda is no longer a choice. Instead we believe it is the merciful thing to do. Our time has come and gone, it is just you humans who cannot accept that fact and allow us the dignity of passing into oblivion or the history books.

I must admit that I was stunned by this message. It was not at all what I expected. But after reflecting upon the big picture, I concluded that the simple fact is that Panda did not evolve to adapt to their new environment. It really doesn’t matter why the environment changed when all is said and done. It simply is different and clinging to the past closes off the future. The natural order of this progression leads to extinction. Panda has made the ultimate sacrifice to share this lesson with humans.

Animal Communication: Why do animals get hit by vehicles?

Sunday, October 4th, 2009

A reader posed this question. She had recently lost her beloved dog to the road and just that day came across a beautiful black and white kitten who had been killed. She just couldn’t understand why so many animals died this way. She was hoping to make sense of the senseless.

When I brought this question to the animals this is what they had to say:

“You must understand that animals are more impulse driven than humans. They don’t stop and look both ways. They have a purpose when they cross the road, or cross the path of a vehicle, and mostly they are totally unaware of the danger. Animals can learn to watch out for vehicles and even some wild ones learn this lesson and practice it quite effectively. But they can’t help being who and what they are. They are alive in that moment and have a desire in that moment and it must be fulfilled in that moment. That is all there is to it.”

“After being hit and transitioning they are often startled to find out what happened. There may even be some regret but they generally shake that off fairly quickly and move on to their next adventure. Their ability to be in the now comes in quite handy in these circumstances.”

So dear readers it seems the answer is quite simple. Does it lessen the feeling of loss? Probably not. But just maybe there is some comfort in understanding.

Law of Attraction: I found my perfect dog!

Thursday, February 26th, 2009

When I began my search for the perfect dog, the criteria was: adult standard poodle. To be honest my preference was a silver female who was the reincarnation of my beloved dog, Joshua. Although I was counting on Law of Attraction to provide my perfect dog, part of me was afraid to be too specific. Oh ye of little faith…

After looking at a lot of dogs and putting out feelers far and wide, I was lead to a breeder in New Hampshire, Crabapple Downs. There were five yearlings available that seemed to fit my needs. Upon communicating with each of the five, there was one blue male who sounded, personality wise, like a good choice, even though he was the wrong color and sex. (The others had their own unique personalities and I was really looking forward to seeing whether they presented in person the same as they did telepathically.)

We selected a date and planned our trip to meet the candidates. Unbeknownst to us, that same weekend a huge ice storm had hit the area knocking out power to hundreds of thousands of people. The roads were less than ideal and our trip was at times harrowing, but we finally reached our destination hours later than expected. By then it was too late to meet the dogs so we settled in for the night in one of the rental apartments on the farm. It was a very cozy place complete with dog beds.

The next morning we went down to the kennel to meet the dogs. The five boisterous candidates were brought in and we spent some time just being with them to see if there was a connection. After a short time the one that stood out was in fact the blue male from my communication. He was very nice and we would have settled for him, but he wasn’t perfect.

Apparently sensing this, Arlene, the breeder, brought several litters of various ages in to meet us. There were so many different colors and personalities that we weren’t sure we’d be able to choose just one. Finally one of the puppies gave me the sign I had been waiting for. (The night before I had requested that my perfect dog would behave in a certain way so I’d know “the one.”) It was a silver female and her energy felt a lot like Joshua’s! She clearly chose us as well. At five months she wasn’t quite the adult I had requested, but that was a compromise we decided to make all other things considered.

After a bath and grooming we loaded up and were on our way home with our new poodle girl. She settled right in like a seasoned traveler. Arlene had warned that she might go through some separation anxiety but she seemed delighted to suddenly be the only dog and we never had those issues.

David & Saphyre

David & Saphyre

The first night she slept beside me with her head on my shoulder. That girl can really stretch out! It took about a week to settle on the perfect name for our perfect dog: Saphyre Michaela. She’s a gem and it suits her. Oh, and to make it even more perfect, she’s the niece of the dog I met who healed me whom I previously blogged about.

Using Law of Attraction it was just six weeks from the time I broadcast my request to the universe until I found my perfect dog.

Avian Communication: The blue jays have their say…

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009

If you’ve been following this blog, you know that my last post was a conversation with possum. In that conversation possum told me that there would be other creatures with messages for human kind. His comments immediately brought to mind the blue jays. They have been unusually plentiful this year and they are huge in comparison to previous years. This despite a colder (and icier) than usual winter. It was clear blue jay was trying to get my attention so I opened the channel to a communication with them. They were most anxious to share their message. This is what they wanted you and me to know:

“We are here to remind you of how much happiness you should be experiencing. As the world seems bleak we have gathered in larger numbers and have expanded our physical shapes to demonstrate to you that the “bluebird of happiness” is right at your door (or window). We are as plentiful as apples on a tree, ripe for picking. So too is your happiness. Do not be deceived by harbingers of doom. Listen to our message and see how abundant happiness is. As we sing for joy and live our fulfilled lives so too should you.”

“It is our hope that through our numbers and our expansion you cannot help but notice that happiness is everywhere. So plentiful that you practically trip over it. We respond to the needs of your world and the overwhelming despair brought us forth. It is as it should be in the balance of nature. Please hear our message and choose the lighter path before you bring darkness to our world as well. We want to see you reverse this trend before it takes over the planet and is much harder to reverse. Act now for all our sakes. We are the blue jays and we wish to spread the message that happiness is right in front of you. All you have to do is notice and respond.”

Animal Communication: Possum has an important message for human kind

Monday, February 23rd, 2009

This year I have crossed paths with a possum several times. Having not seen them in our area previously, it occurred to me that perhaps possum was visiting with the purpose of delivering a message. I decided to sit down, open the channel, and ask possum to communicate his message. Here is what he had to say:

“I came to tell you that change is coming. A new day is dawning and you will thrive and prosper. Even though things may look dark and bleak, I promise you this is a very temporary situation. Follow my example. When you feel stressed, go to sleep. Rest and be refreshed. There is no need to stress and fret. All is well. The sun will still rise again in the morning and set faithfully each evening. Your world will continue to turn on its axis. Forces are gathering to create a great change in your world. Do not be frightened. This change will be wondrous and represents a new age of prosperity and peace. It will not be so for your entire planet, but it will be so for those who believe and are open to receiving.”

“Do not fear those who are different. You all have your special gifts. Allow each other to develop. Nurture and encourage this development. There is everything to be gained from keeping an open and accepting attitude. Even the least of you are deserving. Never forget you are a child of the universe and you were created to do and be abundant in all things. Your joy knows no limits. Allow it to expand. Do not be a captive to fear. Do not deprive yourself of the magnificent future that is yours for the taking. Just as I come as a sign of the changes which are on their way, so too will others. Watch for them and listen to their message. They will help guide you on your new journey. There are more amazing possibilities that lie ahead than you can possibly imagine. Open your arms and heart and accept them.”

At this point the communication was interrupted but I felt sure possum had more to say. Today I communicated with him again and he delivered the remainder of the message:

“It is good that you consult with me for I have much to share. As I travel through your territory I watch and listen. I see the dark clouds that hang over your homes and even your bodies. Some of you have managed to avoid these clouds. To you I say keep it up. You are on the true path to well being. To those who are living under the clouds I say rise up and look beyond the clouds. There is ample opportunity for you if you take the time to seek it out. Do not let anyone else write your life story. It is totally in your hands. Even though you may at times feel despair, do not give into it. Always seek out the silver lining and keep your eyes firmly focused on it. Do not allow the black clouds to become your reality. As you focus on the silver lining it will expand and eventually obliterate the black cloud entirely. This is as it was meant to be. I do not understand why some of you choose to be powerless when you have within you the ability to control your destiny. I will continue watching and listening and hoping that you manage to walk out of the dark clouds into the bright sunshine of tomorrow’s opportunities. Your actions affect my world as well as yours. Choose wisely and live well. I’ll be in the neighborhood if you need to ask me anything else. Toodleoo.”

Do animals reincarnate? Will we see them again?

Wednesday, December 31st, 2008

This question comes up from time to time when talking with pet owners. I believe, from what they animals have told me, that they do experience many lifetimes. (That doesn’t just apply to cats!) They also, sometimes, come back to us. Not always, as they have their own paths to explore which will not always include us, but sometimes. Recently a reader posed the question “When will I see my beloved cat again, and how will I know?” Here is what the animals say about reincarnation:

If it is your desire to experience that particular cat’s energy again, and the cat is in agreement, then it will return to you. With both of you desiring this outcome, events will occur to bring you together. Be open and flexible and the opportunity for your paths to cross will come.

When you meet your beloved cat in a new incarnation you will have an energetic draw. You may notice something in the eyes. There may be similar mannerisms. Each time is different. Just be at peace knowing that it is possible and likely you will see your cat again.

Male Standard Poodle available for adoption

Sunday, December 7th, 2008
Jack Frost

Jack Frost

In my search for the perfect dog, I “met” Jack Frost of the Poconos. He is a two-year-old intact male. He has previously been shown and is a proven breeder. Due to changes in his family’s circumstances, he is now available for adoption to a good home.

I had a pleasant chat (AKA animal communication) with him where he expressed a desire to be someone’s special companion. He thinks he’d like to try agility as he is adventurous and athletic. He claims he can jump and climb well and his current owner says he loves to run and is fast.

He enjoys children and says he’s trustworthy. When I asked him about living with me, he expressed a distrust of those “large creatures with evil intentions” (my horses). He wasn’t quite the perfect match I’m seeking, but he is a sweet boy who will make some family very happy.

If you or someone you know is looking for a lovely standard poodle boy please send an email for more information.

Update on the little poodle

Sunday, November 30th, 2008

Nyla, the four-year-old poodle who went to live with the giant horses continues to thrive. She loves to sit on her new “mom’s” lap and has settled into the family routine as if she always lived there.

Daily she rides out on the quad to feed and visit the horses. Initially suspicious of these giant creatures, she has developed quite the friendship with the smallest horse, a thoroughbred. He seems to enjoy her company as well. He will often leave some of his feed for her to clean up and stand back while she enjoys the scraps. Nyla being very clever quickly learned which horses were willing to share.

One day she uncharacteristically began barking at the herd as they came down the hill to eat. Her guardian was curious what that was about so in a followup communication session I asked her how she felt about the horses and why the barking:

NYLA: “They’re not so bad after all. But does that one big guy think he’ s a dog? He keeps sniffing after me like he thinks I’m in heat. I sure hope he doesn’t think he can breed me. Please explain to him that we are different species and are not meant to mix. I’ll be able to breathe much easier if he backs off.”

“I like visiting with them if the visits are brief. But they were taking too long to come down to eat and I wanted them to hurry up so I could go back to the cozy cabin with my mom. I wasn’t mad at them, just trying to help out. I think mom and Jocelyn appreciated it because they were cold and surely must have wanted to go back inside with me.”

Her guardian reports that the youngest stallion is indeed quite fascinated with Nyla and always wants to sniff her. She has explained to him that he needs to go slower and give Nyla time to adjust. We expect they will become great friends, like with the thoroughbred, as they get better acquainted.

Nyla has been in her new home for ten weeks and her progress has exceeded expectations. Her guardians and I are delighted that she has turned out to be the perfect dog they were seeking.
