Keep it Simple

Keep it Simple

 

We may not realize our pets know what we’re feeling and what we’re saying and in their own way interpret like a child.  They don’t understand the background, situation we’re going through, why we’re thinking something or why we’re saying something. I had a client whose parrot said he wanted mom to smile more.  Mom said, “OK, when I’m around him I’ll smile.” I said, “No, he wants you to be happy. He wants you to feel what’s behind the smile.” She explained her husband had been in the hospital for a few months and she had concerns when he came home regarding his health. I suggested that the two of them watch YouTube videos of the Carol Burnett show. Remember Harvey Korman and Tim Conway? You can’t not laugh when you see their dentist skit. She said she would and that that sounded like a really good idea.

I had another client whose adult son (who is very kind and gentle) would come over and her 11-month-old cat ran away from him. She didn’t do that at the beginning but now she is - why? I asked her why she ran away from him and she said she was scared that he was going to take her from mom. My client started crying and explained her husband and her were both very ill together.  Unfortunately, her husband passed away, but thankfully she was recovering with symptoms, but still recovering. During the time when they were both ill, there was a discussion regarding her son adopting the cat, if both of them passed away. So, I explained to the cat that that was just a plan in case something happened to both of them.  Unfortunately, your dad is gone but mom is still here - so that explained to her the situation with the son.

We love them so much and remember they’re part of our family and they tend to accept things in a child-like way. The simpler you can explain things (and yes, you can say it out loud) whatever it might be, the better.

Spring Cleaning

Spring Cleaning

It’s Spring Time!  Spring clearing and cleaning – where is all this stuff going?  My favorite chair to sit on, under and behind.  Strangers coming in to take things away and fixing stuff.  Why?  Sage and Ollie my two 4-year-old female cats are asking.  Sage is taking a new hiding place on top of the refrigerator – behind the cereal box or on the kitchen countertop behind the paper towel holder - maybe if she can’t see them, they can’t see her? I am going through drawers, closets, and the garage.  The stuff has been collecting for at least the 18 years I have been in my condo.  I am simplifying and releasing.  I have to reassure the cats when things leave, that they (the cats) are staying.  I have been revisiting the emotional attachment to things and as the Marie Kondo method – does it bring me joy?  My home has been my sanctuary for a year now – safe from the outside world of uncertainty.  My cats did not understand why I didn’t leave each day like I used to.  I explained to them that life is changing, and we have to share the dining room chairs (their favorite sleeping spots).  My dining room table holds my work laptop next to my personal laptop.  They had to get used to that and adjust too.

I am an only child and I do enjoy my alone time – but I have come to realize that I am happy wherever I call my home.  I will be beginning a new chapter of my life – March 31^st is the last day of my day job.  I will be free to speak with the animals wherever my heart takes me – in my time and space.  It may be April 1^st – April Fool’s Day - but I am no fool and I fool nobody.  My time will be free to be all of me.  For me - and for the animals.

For the Love of Animals,

What do Your Pets Want You to Know?

What Do Your Pets Want You to Know?

February 28, 2021

2pm - 3pm

Join us for this fun and interesting hour of conversations 

with the animals in the safety of your home via Zoom.

Have you ever wondered:

What is an animal communicator? How does it work?

Do you speak dog cat or horse language?

Why does my cat come when I want her to come but I haven’t actually called her?

Do our pets pick up our emotions and illnesses?

Can our words hurt our pet’s feelings?

Why do they like some people and not others?

Do they have preferences in companions? (People and/or animals)

Do the foods we feed our pets really make a difference?

What is the difference between an animal trainer/behaviorist and an animal communicator?

What is a phone reading? Do I put my dog up on the phone?

Frances W Greenspan is an animal communicator and speaks telepathically to the animals. Her favorite clients are rescued pets – finding out why they are doing what they are doing and those that have crossed over – helping to heal the human who is grieving their loss.

Attendees will have a chance to ask one question regarding their pet - whether here or those who have crossed over. Depending on the number of attendees and constraint of time not all participants may have their question answered.

$25 to attend; Zoom link provided upon registration.

Does My Health Affect my Pet?

Does My Health Affect my Pet?

Secondhand smoke isn't just bad for humans, but for the animals, as well. One client, a heavy smoker, wanted to know what was wrong with her dog's skin. I told her the smoke and nicotine was adversely affecting her dog. That wasn't enough for her to quit smoking, but she does have the windows wide open, weather permitting.

Chemicals we use in and around our houses are dangerous for us and our pets. One client wanted to know why her dog had a skin rash. He had skin rashes as long as she had him - four years. I asked her about her gardener and what he used on the grass to kill the bugs. She didn't know. I asked her how long she has used this gardener - four or five years. So as long as the dog rolled, walked and played on the grass, the chemicals were on him and when he licked himself, they went into his system.

Animals can pick up on their owner's feelings and emotions, often manifesting their owner's symptoms, in order to alleviate their discomfort, taking on the illnesses themselves. Knowing when the owner is ill and holding the energy for them until they are healed. One client, an 85-year-old woman, had a cat who went blind, prior to her own cataract surgery that was very successful.

Animals hold the energy for us - whether it is for our physical, emotional or spiritual well-being. They come into our lives for more reasons than we consciously know. Our pets are aware of what we are going through from a telepathic level. We may not say out loud that we are worried about paying the bills, but our pets know and take on some of the anxiety from us - and for us.

Consider looking at your own health when your pet is having a health issue. Allergies and skin reactions are no different for us as for the animals. Many people are finding themselves allergic to, or intolerant of, wheat and dairy products. Since our animals reflect us, consider what you feed them. Table scraps including those products should not be given to our pets. Many of my clients, especially after the recent pet food scare, have been much more careful of what foods, brands and types they are feeding their pets and paying attention to how they are reacting.

Some of my clients find the raw food diet, including carrots, apples and green beans, to be a great way to supplement their nutrition. If the pet has a hard time moving their bowels, consider adding a bit of flax seed oil or olive oil to the mix. There are many good prepared raw food products on the market. And, by the way, consider how you are feeding yourself. Remember, your animals are a reflection of you. Stick to real food, rather than processed foods, walk with your dogs to get your exercise and you'll both feel better. Have you noticed overweight people tend to have overweight pets? The animals do not need to graze or snack all day long. They do not need treats as a regular diet. Consider the treats for your pets as you would candy for your kids. Is one candy bar enough? How about just a taste? Consider the nutrition of what you are feeding yourself and your pets. They do not need, nor do they digest well, carbohydrates (i.e. breads, grains). How about our bodies?

Remember, our pet's health reflects our health - be careful what you feed them - they are relying on you for their daily needs

What Do Your Pets Want You to Know?

 

Online Animal Communication Demonstration

via Zoom October 25, 2020

Frances W Greenspan is an animal communicator and speaks telepathically to the animals. Her favorite clients are rescued pets – finding out why they are doing what they are doing and those that have crossed over – helping to heal the human who is grieving their loss. Attendees had a chance to ask one question regarding their pet - whether here or those who have crossed over.

Adopting a New Pet: Finding the Right Companion

Adopting a New Pet:
Finding the Right Companion

Adopting a new pet after one has transitioned can be tricky, especially when there is a surviving companion grieving the loss. When is it OK? Grieving appears with signs such as loss of appetite, lack of desire to thrive and sleeping more than usual. Just like humans, the animals grieve the loss of a loved one.

In doing this work of animal communication, I have found the pets who stay behind, while in their grief, or even a year or two later, can be very possessive of their owners. Introducing a new pet, without asking them first, can create havoc. There can be jealousy of the new pet or anger at you for bringing in another. How can you replace their dear companion?

Norton is a 15-year-old domestic shorthair orange male cat that was not keen on the new dog joining the family.

Norton:  Why did he get the dog? Wasn't I enough? Is he going to replace me? I try to be good. I've been giving him more attention since the dog's been here - why is he so loud? He doesn't let me sleep in peace. I just want to be left alone and he comes and sniffs around me.

Me:  The dog needed a good home so dad brought him home - you can share dad can't you?

Norton:  I suppose - as long as he doesn't eat my food - I eat all my food so he won't get it.

Me: You don't have to do that - there will always be enough for you - I'll make sure dad puts your dish where the dog can't get to it, OK?

Norton:  OK that will help - thanks. Tell dad I love him OK? I don't get to say that to him so he understands.

Bubba, a cat that was depressed as he was missing the daughter (he called "mom") that was away on vacation and he was overhearing conversations of her going away to medical school:

Bubba:  Why did mom leave me? I know they love me too - but I miss my mom. Bring mom back or take me to her.

Me:  I asked if hearing her voice would help. Sometimes it can help to put the phone on speaker and having the pet hear the voice of the person they are missing.

Bubba:  Yes, hearing her voice will help. I like my food. My other moms are nice, but they aren't mom. My house is nice, my bed is nice. I miss my mom. I want my mom.

Me:  Playmate?

Bubba:  Maybe - but I'm the boss. Maybe a girlfriend? I might like that - I never had a girlfriend before. One that looks like me? I'd like that - yeah that could be fun.

When my client is thinking of bringing in another pet, after the loss of a dear companion, I tune in to the surviving companion for guidance. Have they cleared the grieving process? Is there anger towards the owner for "taking their companion" away? Do they understand the death process? Are they seeing their companion's spirit around them?

Learn the Health Benefits of

Having a Pet

 

They Will Always Be in Our Hearts

I love to speak with the older animals. Some know that they won’t be here much longer, or they know they may not have another chance to tell their mom or dad their wishes when the time comes.

Our pets are very aware of their short time on this planet – compared to ours. They usually want to go in peace and not have their bodies held here – their spirit is ready to go. Signs of this are when they no longer want to eat or drink. The body is ready – they will always be in your hearts.

Being at home more I find myself reflecting on my life, home, future, passions, wishes, bucket list – yes, that bucket list – traveling to the seven Wonders of the World. I started going through my old files, physical papers, and on my computer. I realized I had not reviewed my Will since 2007!!!! OMG, do you know how much my life has changed since 2007!!! The other thing I started to think about is what happens to my pets when I am no longer here? Hopefully, that will be a long time from now – but thinking about it was thought-provoking. I know it is not a fun topic, but seriously one that I don’t think many of us have given much thought. Whether you designate a person, rescue, funds, or whatever – make your wishes clear to those closest to you.
