Hello, beautiful boy!

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

That was the beginning of a fascinating animal communication consult. The subject was a horse who could have easily ended up as dog food, were it not for a most determined and caring guardian who was unwilling to give up on him. To protect their privacy I’ll call him “Jackson.” Following is a brief synopsis of our communication:

Jackson: “Beauty is only skin deep. I don’t feel beautiful. I feel flawed. I wasn’t good enough to make it in the show ring so every time I hear how beautiful I am, it reminds me of how shallow that is and inaccurate. I am a reject. I’m no good”

“I don’t know why my mom loves me, I’m really mean to her. I’ve been trying to get her to see that I’m no good. She is really stubborn and is not convinced.”

“I’m sorry [for hurting her]. I was just sure that she would one day realize how wrong she was about me and send me off to the knackers for my antics. That made me so angry and insecure that I acted out against her. I wanted her to think she was the crazy one. If she was crazy and stupid then I was right, sane and whole.”

“Yes, it made me feel good to make her feel bad. Awful I know, which really made me feel worse deep inside. It’s been escalating for a while. I’m glad there is another answer because I don’t want to permanently damage her. She has been kind to me and put up with so much crap you wouldn’t believe! I just knew that one day she’d see the real me and throw me out like the garbage I felt myself to be.  Is it possible that she can forgive me? Is it possible that she could ever trust me?”

During our communication, I spent some time explaining to him how wrong his self image was. Surprisingly (unlike we humans), he was able to fairly quickly grasp his error and reconsider his position.

Jackson: “If she’s serious about starting over, I’d like to try that. Let’s pretend she never knew the schizo me and that I am her perfect horse. That’s a foundation we can build on. I may need reminders from time to time so I don’t fall back into bad patterns. But I will commit to making every effort to change. I will be happy when she calls me beautiful boy instead of getting angry and acting out.”

With that statement he showed me his chest swelling up with pride. Polishing his buttons, as my mother would say. Our communication concluded with sending healing energy to him which he eagerly soaked up.

After that, I communicated with Jackson several more times clearing up the misunderstandings between him and his guardian. Initially, it didn’t seem as if he was following through on his promise to try; but, slowly over time, the relationship evolved. It was a process to be sure, but one they were both willing to undertake and that made all the difference.

Recently I received this message from his guardian:

“I just wanted you to know ‘Jackson’ has been a most benevolent, kind and gentle horse for me since our conversations.  He seems happier and more content, and I am braver now that I can read him better, and therefore be a better leader for him.  Thanks for all your help!”

Not all animal communication consults are as dramatic or successful, to be sure, but enough of them have happy endings to make our collective efforts most worthwhile.

The horse's perspective on slaughter

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

A reader writes: “I am struggling with the issue of the Horse slaughter plants. I have horses and have seen many that have been abandoned and neglected. Sometimes I find it difficult to know what to do. There are just not enough places for all of the horses. Do the horses have any thoughts on what happens to them after they pass? What about thoughts of when is their time to pass if they are elderly or ill?”

The horses reply:

“Death is merely a transition. For the most part we do not fear it. We are aware that it is a phase of life. Because we are aware of past life experiences, we know that there will be another opportunity so there is an aspect of excited anticipation about what the next life will be. That is not to say that we do not find some death experiences abhorrent. But whatever, the experience soon passes and becomes a distant memory.”

“None of us wants to have a painful lingering death. And we are grateful to our caring guardians who are able to make the sacrifice and let us go when the time comes. This is a gift beyond measure, one that imprints you upon our soul for eternity.”

“We see that many of you are deeply troubled by the issue of slaughter. It is not our favorite subject either. The thing you must understand about slaughter is that the trauma is what occurs before the actual deed. There is so much fear and confusion, which is multiplied many times over as groups of us are gathered together to take that last lonely trp. Once we get to the point of the actual slaughter, our spirits are already slipping out of our bodies so that we are released from the torment. At that moment, all our cares dissolve and there is only peace and tranquility. We transition from this world to the next where we are greeted and welcomed into the awaiting herd. There is an abundance of fresh air, food, and clean, cool water. In the midst of this any former trauma instantly fades.”

“Actually we would encourage to you to find ways to treat each other better. There is too much violence and hatred among the peoples of the world. If you could learn to treat each other better then you would also treat our kind better.”

Red wing Blackbirds return

Monday, March 30th, 2009

They  returned today, same place, same song. I was busy and not paying much attention so they all flew to the pasture and into my line of vision, alighted briefly, then in a flurry of wings and chatter they flitted off to another tree. Now they had my attention. It seems they have more to say:

“We wanted to be sure you really understood our message. There are too many dark clouds gathering over our world. We need humans to wake up to the possibility of averting catastrophe. You have it in your power. Look for the silver-lined clouds and stop gaping at the dark ones. Find the positive moments in your days and focus upon them and they will expand until they become so numerous that they blot out the dark clouds entirely. Do not give in to morosity and hopelessness. If you do then you will take us all down with you. Stop! Wake up before it is too late! We beseech you to snap out of it and stop this speeding freight train of doom and gloom. Bring back the sail boats and sunshine. With just a little effort our world could experience a phenomenal rebirth. We are counting on you. Do not let us down. But hurry, time is growing short.”

Ok, the birds have spoken. The rest is up to us…

It's all in the perspective: A young gypsy drum stallion comes of age

Wednesday, March 18th, 2009

Yesterday I had an interspecies telepathic communication with a trio of horses, two geldings and a gypsy drum stallion. Their owner was disturbed because the young stallion had begun driving the older gelding away, isolating him. This herd lives a very natural lifestyle and, until recently, were unusually harmonious. In fact, their owner takes great pride in how well the herd interacts, so the young stallion’s actions offended her sensibilities.

First I communicated with the young stallion to find out why. According to him, the older gelding was not respecting his leadership and until he did would have to be driven out. He was not angry, just very matter of fact. In his mind this was the natural order of things and it was the gelding’s choice. He felt he was being firm and fair.

Second I communicated with the older gelding. He was angry that the “little piss ant” was being such a tyrant. He much preferred the ways of the original herd leader, another gelding. But he was also quick to state that he was getting plenty of food and water so not to worry. It was just the fellowship of the herd he was missing.

Finally, I spoke with the other gelding who has been herd leader for quite some time. His perspective was totally a surprise. He stated that the young stallion was preparing to take over as herd leader and needed to gain experience. The gelding would have to deal with having a new leader and respect his rules. However, he also wanted his owner to know that, if necessary, he would intervene to prevent injury.

When next I spoke with the owner, she was recounting recent herd antics and mentioned the stallion grabbing the gelding by the withers. She was pleased to see there was no injury, but still unhappy with the behavior. I was delighted as this confirmed what the stallion communicated to me and clearly demonstrated his intent to be firm and fair.

So we come back to perspective. The owner sees a problem that needs to be fixed. The stallion and old herd leader believe everything is fine and as it should be. They are confident that given time the gelding will acquiesce and honor the new leader. The gelding is miffed but it seems his real problem is dealing with change. Remember none of the herd has been injured during this time. Pretty remarkable and certainly preferable to the wild where the gelding would have been driven out entirely and left to fend for himself.

As I reflected upon this communication, I was once more in awe of the original herd leader. Every time I have communicated with him I have been impressed by his kindness and wisdom. To hear his very practical thoughts on preparing for the day when he would pass the leadership torch was awe inspiring.

Contrast his perspective with many humans who deal with transfer of leadership by acts of violence and war. We could learn a lot by listening to benevolent leaders such as this.

Caution: The animals are listening…

Tuesday, February 10th, 2009

People often ask whether I think their animals understand what they are saying. The answer is yes, they do. They may not get every word, but they generally understand the meaning and intent. In fact, sometimes they hear only too well… to their own detriment.

Let me explain: suppose in the presence of an animal someone remarks about how worthless they are, accident prone, or sickly. What if that animal not only hears, but believes that negative pronouncement? What if they believe it so much that they cause it to be true?

You’re probably thinking, “No way!” But I say to you in all earnestness: “Yes way.” In my communication with various animals I have learned first hand how our words can affect them whether good or bad. At first I thought it was just an odd anomaly but as time passed and more examples emerged I saw a clear pattern.

One such animal was the thoroughbred who just wouldn’t gain weight no matter what his owner tried. When she contacted me to communicate with him, her most immediate question was what could she do put weight on him? His surprising answer was: “fat horses founder.” With that clue provided I was able to explain to him that eating to maintain a healthy, non-ribby weight would not put him in jeopardy of founder. Some months later his owner reported that he was now at a healthy weight and she was able to reduce his rations to maintenance level.

The anguish a male poodle felt after hearing his owners say they were going to “cut his nuts off” caused him to suffer frequent nightmares. When I shared that with his humans they confirmed that exact expression had been used in his presence. While the procedure was necessary his anguish could have easily been avoided.

Often animals I have communicated with express feelings of low self esteem. After some conversation the root cause usually comes out. Invariably it’s something they have either been directly told or overheard.

There was a horse who got angry when anyone called him beautiful, which was often, as he is gorgeous. In his words “I am a reject. I’m no good.” It turns out that as a youngster his show prospects were waylaid when he was temporarily disfigured. His self image was totally warped. After spending some time helping him see that he really is beautiful, and giving him energy healing, his perception shifted. Today he is happy to be called beautiful and that aspect of his acting out has been resolved.

I could go on, but this post is already longer than I intended. The important thing I want to impart to you, friends, is to be aware of your words in the presence of the animals. You never know how a careless comment can affect their lives. Of course the flip side is that positive comments can have a wonderful result.

Do animals grieve?

Wednesday, January 28th, 2009

Unequivocally, yes!

Animals form attachments to other animals, and people, so naturally they grieve when that friend is no longer in their life. You don’t need to be able to communicate to recognize the signs. How many stories have you heard about horses who stood over the grave of an equine friend who died? How many stories have you heard about dogs who grieved themselves to death over the loss of their guardian?

Recently I communicated with a goat who was listless and had little appetite after losing his goat buddy. He understood that his friend had moved on to a better place but he still missed him. After our communication he still grieved, but felt less burdened through sharing his feelings. He was open to having a new goat friend and is on the road to recovery.

What about animals who lose their offspring? Don’t you imagine they feel the loss as keenly as we humans? I witnessed a mare undergo a personality change after losing her foal. She took the loss very hard and it was more than a year before she reverted (almost) to her previous self.

Animals grieve when they are taken from their home to live with new guardians. Often they do not understand why and they certainly miss the friends left behind. No one asks them if they want to go or explains why. Any time you bring a new pet into your home understand that there will be a transition and be supportive. They will adore you for making the effort.

So what specifically can you do to help a four-legged friend who’s grieving? Spend quiet time with them. Talk with them. Empathize over their loss. Reminisce over happy memories. Pretty much what you’d do with a human friend who’s grieving. They may not understand every word you say, but they will understand the intent and they will appreciate your compassion.

If you don’t feel confident about your abillity to communicate with your friend, or your efforts are not effective, consider consulting an animal communicator. They will bridge the gap between you, answering your questions and communicating what’s on your four-legged friend’s mind.

Please visit petchatter.com for more information. It would be my privilege and pleasure to facilitate a communication between you and your animal friend.

Xylitol and pets revisited

Tuesday, January 6th, 2009

Last month I blogged about Xylitol and its life-threatening affects on dogs. That post has gotten a lot of traffic so I’m hopeful that some dogs may have been saved as owners are educated on this new danger.

Today I find it imperative to revisit the subject as I recently learned that Xylitol is also contained in Tic Tacs. If you’ve been sharing Tic Tacs with your dog, please find another treat. Xylitol is deadly to dogs in even small amounts.

This new information made me curious about other pets that might be affected by Xylitol so I did a little research. According to Michelle DeHaven, DVM:

“While xylitol appears safe in people, its safety varies wildly in other species. Xylitol has shown no adverse effects in humans, rhesus monkeys, rats and horses but is toxic in dogs, baboons, cows and goats. There does not appear to be enough information about cats to decide whether it is toxic to them or not. I certainly would not take the chance.”

Read her full article on this disturbing topic. Also worth reading is Doolittler’s series on this emerging threat: “(By the way, you should know that according to the ASPCA’s poison control Tic-Tacs poison more dogs than any other product, partly as a consequence of their extra-high Xylitol levels and partly the result of their ubiquity.)”

Please spread the word. And if you would be so kind as to click on the Thumb This Up button, you will ensure that even more people Stumble Upon this vital information.

Animal Communication: A Reader Asks…

Tuesday, December 30th, 2008

“Why are they called seagulls when they don’t live near the sea?”

Seagull

Seagull on the beach.

Here is what the seagulls had to say:

A great many do live by the sea. That is our natural habitat. Some have migrated inland and found more comfortable living conditions. They have abandoned their true nature and turned into scavengers. They are not considered sea gulls by others of our species. They have traded an easy lifestyle for life as it was intended. In doing so they sacrifice some of their majesty and dignity. Successive generations have been born inland and these offspring do not have any inkling of the life they were intended to live. It is evolution resulting from their choices, but it is not necessarily a desirable outcome. So we would say that those who have moved inland and abandoned their natural habitat are not really seagulls anymore. We would simply call them gulls.

So there you have it from the seagull’s perspective and said with more than a little disdain. Please keep the questions coming!

Happy Holidays one and all.

Animal Communication: Do dogs protect children?

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

After my communication with horses on this topic, I wanted to know what dogs had to say about it. I have personally known dogs who absolutely looked after children, even to their own detriment. I must say I was somewhat surprised by what the dogs had to say on the topic:

“There are some among us who, like people, have a special affinity for children. They take special care with children. But not all of our species has this affinity. Others would rather not be bothered. They feel it is not their responsibility to look after other creatures’ young. Some of us have more empathy and compassion than others. It is truly an individual preference. We say when in doubt, it’s best to carefully supervise your young around us.”

During our communication, the dogs reminded me that being predators they had quite a different perspective from horses, who are prey animals. Their caution to carefully supervise our young around them is sensible and the sentiment expressed, very generous on their part.

With this understanding I am even more touched by the generosity of spirit of those dogs who are the exceptions. One of those exceptional canines, deserving of tribute, completed his earthly journey this year.

Henry, was just seven, but he packed a lot of living into those years. He was best friend to Jill, and vigilant protector of Ryan, her autistic son. Henry patiently tolerated Ryan’s rough handling and even tried to fetch him back for Jill when he wandered too far away. He was always there ready to help in any way that he could.

Henry

Beautiful Henry, gone, but never forgotten.

Unquestionably, Henry was irreplaceable, but with an empty space in her heart and home, Jill welcomed young Jack, an Irish Setter. He surely has big footprints to step into. Happily he seems ready and willing to be another canine exception in his attitude towards Ryan and they have become fast friends.

Jill says that although Henry and Jack have very different spirits, one trait they have in common is looking you straight in the eye. She captured that beautifully in the picture below:

Pet Chatter Communication with Majestic Percheron Gelding

Tuesday, October 7th, 2008

Rick is a 17.3 Teenaged Percheron Gelding. He lives in a natural herd environment where he is the leader. He is jet black and magnificent. He has a quiet dignity that inspires trust and deep affection. Majestic is what comes to mind when gazing upon his countenance.

Fortunately for him, his guardians are aware of just how special he is. I’ve communicated with him several times and always come away marveling. He is a beneficent leader and takes his role very seriously.

Pet Chatter: “Why don’t you come to visit when there is company? Your gift of connecting with people is deeply appreciated and your guardians want to share that.”

Rick: “I don’t come running like a dog. I’m the herd leader and I have my dignity. I do like visiting, but I’m more discriminating than the boys. I prefer to watch and make sure the visitors aren’t harming my herd. There are times when a visitor will pique my interest and then I’ll visit, but they’re special. If you ask me to interact with certain people I’ll comply, but my preference is to choose the ones that I’m drawn to.”

Pet Chatter: “You stood back and let Thyme rule the water? What made you do that? It was greatly appreciated.” (Thyme is a lower-ranking gelding in the herd.)

Rick: “Thyme needed to drink. It made him more secure to play dominance games. Even though it was just posturing, it helped him feel more secure and able to drink his fill. My job is to take care of the herd. Thyme needed to go through that ritual for his mental and physical well being. It did not in any way threaten my position as leader. I was setting a good example for the others which is also one of my responsibilities. When the herd functions as a team it is stronger and safer.”

Pet Chatter: “How do you feel about your saddle? Do you have any discomfort?”

Rick: “I prefer no saddle. The saddle squeezes me and is uncomfortable. It’s like wearing a girdle and I can’t fully breathe. I feel constricted and can’t enjoy our riding time. Everything else is fine. I love our wide-open spaces and all the yummy grass. I feel good about my herd and am pleased with the way things run so smoothly.”

[His guardian remarked that she had been over tightening the girth as the saddle tended to slip on his round barrel. Thus the girdle reference was quite meaningful.]

What about your herd? What interesting things have you observed? Are you able to detect different personalities or quirks? Please share your anecdotes in our comments section below.
