Animal Talk

I was sitting, reading, when my dog Cher came and stood in front of me, wagging her tail. After a few minutes, I looked at her and said, "Would you like a drink of water?" She bounced towards her bowl, and got her drink. She did these things often, and without realizing it, this was my first experience with animal communication.

Has this ever happened to you? Chances are, your animal is trying to tell you something (besides “give me more treats!”) Animals communicate silently all the time. We have the ability to do this as well; we just need more practice.

Try this game with one of your pets — sit quietly and try to empty your mind. Picture in your mind a favorite toy of his, and see him picking it up and bringing it to you. It takes practice, but you will be surprised at the results. How does your animal know you are coming home from work long before your car turns down your street? Have you thought of him as you neared home, wondering what he has been up to? It is really all about sending pictures through the air; your very own TV sets! While fun, it is also helpful and can really deepen a bond between pet and caregiver.

In the years since my first "communication," I have expanded my "animal talk," and what a trip it has been! I have been privileged to talk with so many wonderful pets, helped them as they crossed to the other side, eased fears, cried with them as they worked through their problems, and laughed with their pure joy of being alive. They are wise, silly, happy, angry, etc, just as we are. What a shame it would be if they didn’t get to share that with us.

Trust in what you receive, and rejoice in the fact that you are sharing your life with someone who loves you, no matter what!
