I love working with clients that are new to the idea of animal communication. Sometimes the response is they just want to know if they are “happy”. I believe our pets are more than one-dimensional; they have wants and needs, fears and joy, they have preferences and desires. Are they “happy”? All they really want is love, food, and a safe place to put their head at night. Are you giving them this? Then yes, of course, they are going to tell me they are “happy”.
When speaking with the animals it is helpful if you have specific questions. Is your pet a rescue? What was their life like before they came to you? Sometimes this brings answers to curious questions and sometimes it can be very eye-opening to understand why they do certain things. One client had a dog who wouldn’t join her and her husband on their bed at night. The closest he would come to that was laying on the chair near the bed. I asked their dog why and he said he was reprimanded so badly from his previous owner that he was afraid of that happening again. I assured him that would never happen again with this family – they welcome him to join them. He was hesitant but was assured he was safe in his new forever home.
Has anything changed in their surroundings in the past few months? Are you now going back to your office, no longer working from home? Many people adopted pets during the pandemic, only to realize their pet has never seen them leave their house for extended periods of time. As a rescue, the fear of abandonment is real. Where are you going? How long are you going to be gone? Why can’t I go with you? Consider their feelings and questions in their minds. Just like as if you were leaving your child for the day – they want to know that you are coming back, and when you are coming back.
Just some ideas to prompt questions for you and how I can best help you and your pet. I welcome your questions and so do your pets.
For the Love of Animals,
