Funnies From Our Furry Friends

Funnies From Our Furry Friends

Park Time!

A dog who is normally playing in a park across the street from his home was now looking out the window focused on this park. We were in a communication, and park time had been delayed. His person told him after one hour, when his communication finished, she would take him to the park. I was not aware that our communication was at his park time, or of the spoken one hour delay.  We were having a good communication, then suddenly he announced, “We are done!” I looked at my timer – it was exactly 60 minutes!

A Tail of a Story!

After receiving a basic description about a cat I was to communicate with, The cat said to me, “Ask about my tail.”  The person I was speaking with paused and said, “Oh, I am sitting on it!

“I am trying to make a point here!”

“I am trying to make a point here!”

A Golden Retriever named Brady began our communication stating, “We have been waiting for you!”  (The you – was me.)

He shares, “My person gets nervous, I feed off her nervousness and she feeds off mine. She gets “high” nervousness from her work which is not as important as she thinks.”  She agreed. Her nerves had taken over her life, especially at work.

Brady explained, “Stress is a way people have learned to use to cope. A high alert. Do the opposite – be still, calm, observe, then act when needed.”

Brady blurts, “I am trying to make a point here!”

In some communications I become aware of time frames in a person’s life that are significant to a message. In this case, the first time frame brought to my attention was that when Brady’s person was 4 years old when her great grandmother died. This is where her learned stress began; it was her earliest memory. At 21 years old she was in a difficult relationship and again at 34 years old when a good friend suddenly died in her presence. All stressful. Stress had become the norm as she lived and thought of the past, future, and present for big and small reasons.

The communication continued giving ways to help shift this stressful reflex and habit for both two and four footed. A few were: exercise, use essences like Rescue Remedy or other types that naturally calm the nerves. Live in the moment and always ask for support from the Universe, God, angles, what you believe in. Brady emphasized to enjoy life and to be true to whom?   YOU!

Special Moments

Special Moments

My client asked me what her dog, a Chow named Max, enjoyed and did not. A vision came to my mind. She was comfortably sitting on a couch with wine glass in hand and her husband in an easy chair with a short glass. I heard sounds in the back ground, I prefaced it was music. Max was on the floor next to them. My client was delightfully surprised with the details her dog proceed to share. Max had described hubby and her evening ritual after work. She partakes of wine and hubby enjoys a mixed drink. Their time together relaxing, listening to music, sharing their day and doting on Max is a special time they make happen every day. And apparently Max enjoys this time too!

Max then shared he sleeps to the right of the bed on the floor.  He did not like the light on him at night. My client chuckled and promised she would remove the night light from the plugin next to him.

Point made: Take time to relax and enjoy ourselves and others.  If one has irritants or upsets, take action.

What Goes Around Should Come Around

What Goes Around Should Come Around

C.J. is an 11 year old Labrador Retriever. His person asked him if he knew how much she loves him. C.J. comment, “Well of course I know. But you don’t love yourself. What goes around should come around.”

C.J. “We have a problem.”

C.J.’s Person, “What?”

C.J.  ”Okay…To love yourself. When feeling loved, you got, or have love. Feeling hurt, you got, or have hurt. It’s simple. Now – move on. Trust love. Your experience with what you thought was love lead to hurt. That was not love. That was dependency on another to give you love, to feel love, and to feel you were worth loving. His love was not real love. It caused heart break.”  

“Why do you think I stayed so long with you in spite of all we have gone through? To guide you to self-love.”

Can You Relate?

Can You Relate?

Yesterday in a communication, a little dog gave a big message. Louis, a 6 year old Yorkie said to his person, “Your emotions get in the way of who you want to be. You buy into what brings you down.”

He also told his person she walks……walks…..walks……walks. He wants to walk, walk, walk, walk!

Little dogs like Louis need hardy exercise, and evidently so does mom.

Porcupine

Porcupine

Froggy is a cute name for a dog, yet not so cute when near men, or when experiencing thunderstorms.  As I began to communicate with Froggy, in my mind’s eye I saw a dog’s muzzle with wiry hair.  This did not fit Froggy’s description.  I explained to Molly, Froggy’s person, unexpected living or deceased animals occasionally come through to help.  I asked Molly if she could relate to an animal with a coarse wiry look on his muzzle, she could not.  We were both puzzled.  I then heard the word porcupine!  You have to admit it would be an odd word to hear at this moment.  I hoped this word would give us a clue, but Molly seemed even more baffled.  I focused back to the dog and clearly heard, porcupine, porcupine, porcupine.  At this point we did not know if we should laugh or beat our heads against a wall.  I then realized Molly was traveling through her memory banks for an answer.  I waited in silence.  With great relief, she remembered that earlier in the day she had received an email about a dog rescued―with porcupine quills in her muzzle. Thus, Porcupine became her name for the communication.

One would have had to personally experience the communication to fully appreciate Porcupine’s wit and wisdom with her comical interjections at pivotal moments.  What I can offer you is a list of Porcupine’s comments Molly and I compiled, which are to the point, pun intended.

Porcupine’s comments:

Your mind, in one thought, is more powerful than a usual thousand words.

Don’t play into those human ways.  Be YOU and show them.

Time to put your Big Girl Pants on.

Recognize your greatness and be cocky about it.

Act like the man of the house.  Get accustomed to being in charge.  Put your crown on and RULE!

Be, Love, Fun

It is time for ease and honesty with oneself

What you want―think it.  Is better than thinking about what we don’t want.

Molly commented several times, that’s going to be work.  Porcupine offered in response: That will be fun to learn.

Porcupine asked me, “Do you think she’s gets it?”   She then said, “The proof will be in Froggy.”

Porcupine’s suggestions hopefully helped Froggy, a fearful dog, as his person Molly.  It may seem some animals come into our lives to create havoc, yet when we understand the bigger view, animals help us―Be Better!

Prove It

Prove It

I had the privilege of giving a communication to one of the first female truck drivers.  She sounded tough but was mush. Katie, her Rottweiler mix had recently passed.  Our communication was her first, and she wanted proof that I was tuned in to her truck cabby companion.  I felt I had done so but she wanted more.  They had a nightly ritual before bed, and she wanted Katie to tell me what it was.

I entertained her request. Katie first explained she would hear water running, at least that was the best I could discern. I could not see what was taking place and evidently she could not either. Shortly after this sound she showed me the two of them face-to-face followed with a big kiss planted on her.  The reaction I got was of silence.  I waited.  She then spoke with a peaceful voice, “The water you heard was me peeing in a jar before I go to bed in my truck.  I then grab Katie’s big cheeks in my hands, look into her eyes, and give her a kiss on her forehead.”

It was apparent peeing was part of the ritual through Katie’s eyes!

Animals say the darndest things.

A Win Win

A Win Win

Recently I had a communication with a witty draft horse named Kate.  Her first comment to her new person, Linda, was:  Ready for some fun?  Kate had little experience of the outside world, which in turn gave her an air of innocence.  She spoke of wanting to freely explore the woods and pastures around her new home.  But Kate was not grasping the human element of putting a bridle and saddle on her to do so.  In Kate’s case, learning teamwork and trusting her new person would bring the adventures she was wanting, and would be safer than running about on her own.

Kate’s background was not all roses.  She had worn a heavy painful halter for several years.  Her face showed wear and indentations from the leather straps.  Now with this painful thing off her head, she did not want anyone with anything near her face.  Linda understood Kate. With love and patience, and implementing techniques to help Kate accept the saddle and bridle, Kate’s urge to explore the property around her would be possible.

The minute Linda set eyes on a big spotted draft horse running across a field to meet her, she knew, this was the horse for her. And now, Kate had a home where she was lovingly cared for, and the love her Kate returned was profoundly appreciated.

Linda has been practicing Zen meditation for many years.  She understood the importance of living a rich life, fully, in each moment―which a horse understands.  Kate’s nature of having fun would support Linda, who admitted she was greatly in need of fun, plus yearned to explore their property as much as Kate did. For Kate and Linda, it was a―win-win.

Did you know embracing joy and having fun brings such goodness into our lives?  It seems to make the boogie man go away and dissolve the unwanted, perhaps controlling past.  I invite you to play and laugh today…and every day.

Beginning or Ending

Beginning or Ending

Daffodils, forsythia, a bit of a breeze, offer an enjoyable experience while on my walk. Spring is here, new beginnings. Turning a corner, a dog starts barking. I know her, black, with gray on her muzzle. She no longer runs to meet and greet. Her stiff slow legs explain why. I begin to feel sorry for her, then stop myself. She is enjoying this day and so am I. I substitute giving pets on her head with enjoying her presence and welcoming barks from a distance, and I in return send my greetings her way.

Why did I feel sorrow for her? Or was it for me? A friend shows signs of the beginning of the end of her life. I will miss her. I question how different people would experience this time of her life? Is she beginning or ending, to grieve or celebrate, perhaps experience it all, and more?

If she lived in the wild with predators, her body would not exist for long. Does nature now take on a dreadful image? Or, are predators welcomed? Her spirit would then begin another chapter in who she is. Her pain and discomfort would be short lived. Humans tend to fix, save, and hang on to. Why do we do this? You decide for yourself and grow from your discovery.

Mixed Messages

Mixed Messages

Jessy, a confused mixed terrier breed was getting into trouble. As a happy puppy Jessy dragged objects from 15 year old Jenny’s bedroom. At first Jenny found Jessy’s antics funny as Jessy pranced around playing and showing off his find. Months latter this seemingly innocent play turned into damaged articles. Jenny had been trying to change Jessy’s behavior without results.

Jessy showed me Jenny was giving confusing cues. From Jessy’s view, his antics were encouraged with fun gestures and then yelled at as they played tug-o-war. Jessy’s experience was: play, get mad, play, get mad which confused him. “People,” Jessy said. “I don’t understand them.” After talking with Jenny she admitted she would giggle at his behavior and pull at articles from his mouth as she attempt to enforce the change she needed. I had a nice chat with Jessy showing him what was expected of him and a nice chat with Jenny on being responsible with her behavior with Jessy.

To help the situation even more. When Jessy was explaining his confusion, he showed me many interesting things all over Jenny’s room. I suggested she pick her things up from the floor so not to tempt a young dog. Jenny’s mom was pleased with this advice! Not only did Jessy change his behavior, but Jenny’s room is cleaner and becoming more responsible on many levels. Moral of the communication is: Be clear you are not giving your animal mixed messages.
