How can it benefit me and/or my animal companion(s)?</B></div> <div> The purpose of this web site is to hook you and I up in order to enable you to communicate better with an animal (or animals), using my help as a Pet Communicator and Translator when needed. This can include your pet, your friend or neighbor's pet, or any animal(s) that you'd like to know better. </div> <div> <A HREF="#top" TITLE="Aunt Julie Pet Communicator FAQs"><U><I>Top of FAQs</I></U></A></div> <div> <B>What are pets?</B><B> <A NAME="what_are_pets_"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B></div> <div> Sounds like a stupid question. Nonetheless, here goes. </div> <div> A "pet" is: a domesticated animal. An animal who a human being has interjected into a humanly-altered environment. That is, it's all the same world, but we took the existing land, earth, water, trees, fields, randomness and wildness, and built sturdy structures on top of, inside of, adjacent to it all, in order to better inhabit and survive the elements and factors of living on this planet. We exist here, and the Animal and Plant Kingdoms exist here as well. Those Kingdoms are all over the place, as are we. For whatever reason, ignoring all spiritual, philosophical and other ideas for the sake of this FAQ question, we in a fashion, "rule" things. That is, we have the highest and most flexible and variable mental and analytical reasoning power. Aniamls and plants survive because they naturally adapt and their genetics can keep up with the pace needed to evolve based on the adaptations needed in each successive generation of thier own species. This occurs as well with humans bodies and our genetic lines, but we also add in our own variations, strains and alterations as we see fit. That is, slowly changing air temperature or humidity levels, or migration patterns of wildlife, might force plant life to evolve over time to become sturdier against those changes, in some fashion. We, on the other hand, might perhaps re-route a waterway, or build highrises which block natural wind flows, or whatever, and the plants die off as they cannot adapt fast enough.....but<I> we</I> sure can! Now we can better survive the elements and placement of our "tribes". </div> <div> You get the idea.</div> <div> So humans take an animal who would, for the most part, like nothing better than to mosey along in their own natural habitat and act like they're genetically programmed to do and basically eat, drink and be merry - or predatorial - or mischievious - or rascally - or hunt, mate, scavenge, romp, kill, bottom feed or whatever it is they do as their natural part of the balance out there, and we interject this animal into our "world" which is in all actuality their world (all of our world) with things stuck on top of it. Take a field, put a shack on it, it's "real estate". Pipes, electrical lines, pavement, landscaping, fertilizer, fences...there's your Property. But underneath all of that...remove all of that...it's a field and will go back to being a field, sooner or later, if we leave it all alone for some reason. As Joni Mitchell sang, <I>They paved Paradise ~ put up a parking lot.</I></div> <div> A pet is not your possession and in fact is not even the same as your human roomate. Your roomate, husband, wife, family, whoever, does this by choice and there are human-esque agreements that go with it. Social codes, so on. They don't pick their nose in front of you, nor leave their dirty laundry strewn all over the living room. They don't have sex with someone in the kitchen while you're trying to cook eggs, and you split the food bills (money, shopping, whatever) or some other type of agreements that works for you. </div> <div> Enter one animal. They do what they feel is right for them in this big box called a "house" or "apartment" or "This is your HOME now!" whatever The Human asserts to them that this now is for them. Many, many instincts do involve co-survival and co-habitation and co-operation....cats do gravitate right to the litter box, for example. But think about it for a second...they don't go, "Oh, Mommy paid X number of dollars for this at PetSmart and spent 25 minutes at Albertsons picking what she thought would be the best kitty litter" and blah blah. No, they "go" there because it's the closest thing to what they'd find outside...a patch of ground to "go" on. They're not thinking of you.</div> <div> Many folks oppose to the use of the word "owner" and prefer "guardian" or similar wording. I actually just use "owner" because pretty much every single animal relates in or with those concepts. They know what's "up" with the world, and some <I>love</I> to be "owned" and to "have an owner" and want things worded that way. They're fine with it and prefer being an animal, and in fact a domesticated animal, "owned" by Sally and Joe, than not. They like the sense of security it affords. Often "safety" and many times "family" are concepts they appreciate as well, but security's about top of the list. </div> <div> Wait, touchy one! It's no biggie - you're still loved, adored, revered and worshipped...just like you thought you were! But they know you're a human and they're an animal.</div> <div> (I also keep using "owner" as I'm very opposed to anything that smacks of "politically correct" and since the animals don't mind - or they'll tell me so - I can't keep track of who's got what problem with what wording nor am I interested in doing so. I'll just say, Ok, so now then, Murphy had 2 owners before coming to live with you, right?  The purpose of words is to communicate concepts, and you know what I mean by that wordking, so just answer the question.</div> <div> Your dog is your pet, your cat, ferret, bird, snake etc. is your pet. Many horses are "pets". Many zoo animals who take a liking to a particular visitor would <I>like</I> to be their pet...to be taken home and taken care of and <I>owned by</I> some human they've encountered. It's just that way. And more power to 'em! They want to co-exist with us and do all the loving and compromises that entails.</div> <div> A pet is a domesticated animal. He is still an animal and as such, answers to stimulus-response and reactive "reasoning" over analytical reasoning. He is among us and amid us and part of us and he, the being, by his own choice or not, will take us on as "family" as well.</div> <div> <A HREF="#top" TITLE="Aunt Julie Pet Communicator FAQs"><U><I>Top</I></U></A></div> <div> <B>Do you only talk to "pets"?</B><B> <A NAME="do_you_only_talk_to_pets_"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B></div> <div> Nope.

Pet Communicators can <U>communicate</U> with "animal beings" (beings with an animal body, compare "human being" who is you and I, a being with a human body). They tell you what the animal has to "say" and in the course of this have to <U>translate</U> this into terminology humans can relate to. Pet Intuitive is another name I've seen used for a person who can do this. I am most comfortable with Pet Communicator as this is what I literally do. I also work very hard to translate their concepts into human wording and common human logical thought. They may not say the words, "The jury's still out as to whether or not I'll stop yowling every night," but sometimes that's the <I>only</I> way I can communicate their concept of considering it, being still indecisive and also being a little impish. (You will see more how this works as we progress through the Pet Consultation.)</div> <div> You can read more about this and inter-species communication on the <A HREF="how_does_it_all_work_.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="HOW DOES IT ALL WORK?"><U>HOW DOES IT ALL WORK?</U></A> page.</div> <div> <A HREF="#top" TITLE="Aunt Julie Pet Communicator FAQs"><U><I>Top</I></U></A><I><B> <A NAME="what_is_a_being_"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B></I></div> <div> <B>What is a Being?</B></div> <div> In short, You.

Also, you know what a Human Being is. When the term Animal Being is used on my site, think in terms of the same thing: "being plus body" but that body is an animal species body instead of human species. You wake up tomorrow morning in a dog's body. You're the being but one would refer to you as an "animal", whereas now they refer to you as a "human being"; it sounds odd, but this is the distinction I'm making. </div> <div> <A HREF="#top" TITLE="Aunt Julie Pet Communicator FAQs"><U><I>Top</I></U></A><I><B> </B></I><I><B> <A NAME="what_does_telepathy_mean__psychic_"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B></I></div> <div> <B>What does "telepathy" mean? "Psychic"?</B></div> <div> <B>Telepathy</B> is the communication of thoughts, feelings, or knowledge from one being to another without the use of the senses of hearing, sight, smell, taste, or touch. An example of telepathy would be if one person thought of something specific and another person stated or wrote the thought correctly.  (From Greek <I>tele-</I> at or to a distance<I> + Gk pathos </I>emotion<I>, </I>feelings)</div> <div> <B>Psychic:</B> of, relating to, or influenced by the mind .  A person with demonstrable "psychic abilities" can do or perceive any one (or more) of a variety of things, occurrences, thoughts etc but not through conventional usage of "the 5 Senses".  (From<I> </I>Greek<I> psyche </I>soul)</div> <div> <U>A person who has good telepathic abilities</U> is one form of a psychic. They can "get", pick up, receive (and send) or transfer pictures, words, feelings or thoughts to and from another being. Not to be confused with someone wandering down the street aimlessly or eating wallpaper because "the voices" have told them to. <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Wingdings" >J</FONT></div> <div> I have yet to meet someone who is not "psychic" in some area. Some are more tuned in to one area than another, and so can perform or perceive in a way that is considered remarkable or "unattainable" by others. Be that as it may, one will find Pet or Animal Psychics (who can communicate with animals), those who can predict future events, who can pick up an object and know something about the owner and so on, all the way to prodigies and those every-day unnamed types who just have that "knack" or natural instinct for understanding certain types of machinery that no one else will ever figure out because they irritatingly seem to defy the laws of nature! The word "psychic" gets thrown around liberally and often has strange and offbeat rites and practices connected to it, and often people don't think one is truly psychic unless they have a Jamaican accent, burn incense and tell you your boyfriend is cheating on you.  And then, these folks seem almost a caricature of themselves and lose their own credibility - even to me and I'm used to "psychic" things! </div> <div> I recall reading a translated letter Nostradamus had written to his son way back when, explaining how he did what he did. It was a brilliant work, his abilities were astounding and he was comfortable with them, yet he seemed to not be able to realize that he himself just <I>had</I> these abilities. He had to burn certain candles and the moon or stars had to be a certain way and particular things had to be said...this is "how" he did it. This surprised me as I thought he of all people would simply state, "This is the way it is - I know what I know, take it or leave it". Well, so be it, but I have found the philosophy that works for <I>me</I> is that one can perceive what they can perceive; additionally, it's better to just acknowledge and respect the ability than to tout, flaunt or misuse it. I don't know "everything". I know what the animal tells me.<FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Tw Cen MT" > <A NAME="if_you_ask_me_if_you_re_so_psychic_why_1"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></FONT></div> <div> Not all "psychics" can do everything that every other psychic can do. <A NAME="lottery"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A>If you ask me, "If you're so psychic, why haven't you won the Lottery?", my answer is - I've yet to meet an animal (or human) who can tell me the correct numbers!</div> <div> See, I listen to what the animals say, and that's what I'm good at. Someone else who is good at predicting the future can perhaps tell you which Lottery balls will blow upwards, that's your call if you'd like to try. What <I>I</I> can do is establish a line of communication focus in with a being who is an animal being.  They, being quite naturally versed with and dependent upon telepathy, communicate in this fashion and I happen to be able to "get" what they are communicating. This is not predicting the future or bending spoons using intention alone, or picking up on something that's happening to a guy in New Jersey. I can do some of that - or I can't. And to any who can do that, more power to them. I do not profess to be someone with any more abilities than I do have (read: shysters, quacks and the like), nor am I interested in being lumped in with those who can do these other abilities as that opens the door to a variety of tangents many would like me to go off onto. No, I did <I>not</I> know who killed JFK and I don't know the winning Lottery numbers this or any upcoming week (sigh).  </div> <div> <B>What I excel at is Animal Communication and that is what I am offering you.</B></div> <div> Being primarily telepathic, animals can often convey to me what someone else around them <I>is</I> thinking. This happens quite frequently, for example, when they are relating some influential incident that happened to them in the past. An example might be a big dog was being taken for a walk with his owner. The owner stops to chat with someone about the sale at the market. A woman passes by who looks at the dog and thinks about how much she despises big dogs and they should all be put to sleep. The dog has to stand there, humiliated and frightened. Worse, he has no one to tell. Eventually he and his owner move on, he forgets about it, but from that point on when this dog sees a similar woman, he, feeling threatened for no rational reason, pees around the house in a frightened attempt to assert himself. The owner is beside themself and goes back and forth between pleading and punishing. When I eventually talk to the dog, he perhaps tells me that, well in fact he <I>did</I> start feeling like peeing all around his "home turf" because he felt threatened and angry at the owner for not understanding this. He may tell me about the incident and how upset he was. In the course of this, he realizes that his owner will now know this because it's going across to them (via my telling the owner as we go along), he finds himself gushing with forgiveness for their "error" in not knowing what had happened, and he wants to rejoin the family unit as a new and improved Rover and stop peeing everywhere!</div> <div> Remember that in the middle of this common Pet Consultation scenario was the animal picking up on someone else's thoughts. They don't tell me this to "impress me" any more than I tell you any of the above to impress <I>you</I>. It just happened and they relate it to me as a matter of course and in the most matter-of-fact way. </div> <div> You can read a bit more on telepathy on the <A HREF="how_does_it_all_work_.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="HOW DOES IT ALL WORK?"><U>HOW DOES IT ALL WORK?</U></A> page.</div> <div> <A HREF="#top" TITLE="Aunt Julie Pet Communicator FAQs"><U><I>Top</I></U></A><I><B> </B></I><I><B> <A NAME="do_you_read_people_too_"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B></I></div> <div> <B>Do you read people too?</B></div> <div> As Fletch would say, Not as far as you know!

This is on the order of someone raising their voice when talking, changing the lilt or intonation of mid-sentence, raising an eyebrow as emphasis, etc. The intention is to get and keep your attention and focus on them so that hopefully you will "get" what they're trying to tell you telepathically.</div> <div> <A HREF="#top" TITLE="Aunt Julie Pet Communicator FAQs"><U><I>Top</I></U></A><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Tw Cen MT" > <A NAME="what_language_does_my_pet_speak_"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></FONT></div> <div> <B>What language does my pet speak?</B></div> <div> I did a separate write-up on this, on the page How Does It All Work?

They can come up with the most brilliant and philosophical concepts, and they also put info together very simplistically, "clunkily", naively, innocently. This all happens in Pet Consultations. Your dog will be taken to be spayed. Later on Aunt Julie meets her for the first time. She remembers that one day she took a ride in the scary car, some scary stuff happened that she doesn't quite recall, something was sharp and owie in her leg, she woke up and something or other was "gone" down there and from that point on her impulses to have puppies seemed to be unfulfillable but she couldn't quite "get" why. Aunt Julie has to get across to her basically what occurred (and try explaining <I>why</I> to the dog who still <I>wants</I> puppies - sigh!). OK. Then 5 minutes later this same dog volunteers a dissertation about their owner and how this person has such integrity and has always felt blah blah about loyalties and there was this time that some boss back in 1985 tried to get them to do yak yak with the books and the owner wouldn't do that and this dog is - now - aware of it as they picked up on this incident from the owner's mind and is very proud of their owner and really respects them and.....these are real. These things occur. </div> <div> Why?</div> <div> We're talking with the being himself. (Herself, himself, whatever - that's a matter of the body's gender. I'll just say "himself" here for ease.) Their mind impinges on them and their body - their species and breed, even - impinges on them as well, giving them random  thoughts, impulses, responses to stimuli, "animal ideas", whatever. Then when Aunt Julie and Mommy or Daddy comes along to communicate with them, they have to reconcile all these varying factors. (Yes, this applies to Passed Over pets as well as they were last being an animal and still find themselves thinking like animals.) They suddenly have to focus, think straight, and talk about things, same as a rational conversation you would have with someone. But their mind interjects a couple of thisses and thats, just as ours do, but <I>theirs</I> is canine thought process and impulses. Feline. Equine. Etc.</div> <div> What you need to understanding, basically, is that we'll be talking with being (you, me, an "animal" - all the same, a being is a being). <I>This bypasses the whole species thing, that's why they can understand and respond to regular concepts. </I>BUT....they also have their species-body (or with Passed Over's, that's generally the last association they have of themselves is your Rover or Fluffy). </div> <div> It's no different than you or I. You are at your "best" at this time and kinda sleepy, stupid feeling or not quite as bright at other times. And often this is due to not enough sleep, alcohol, drugs and/or medicines, body influences such as headaches or PMS, this type of thing. <I>We</I> know we're the same person but if we took a test in school we might not do as well. Someone talking with us might notice we weren't as sharp. We might not remember incidents as well as we normally would. Well, when we talk with your pet, figure the same thing(s) can come into play - their body shoves different sleeping and resting and energy spurt time frames at them, varying impulses and sensations at them, so respect that. Know that they're not used to "thinking straight" and are more prone to thining life is all about running around barking and sniffing. That's all they usually ever do! so if they falter or their thinking process seems odd at first, just go with the flow with them. </div> <div> So be prepared for a variety of concepts, random thought processes, and the like. A cat's a cat - sorry! So if you and he get into a discussion about the morals of murder, likelihood is he'll still be very happy to guiltlessly go out and pounce on the nearest mouse. OR with guilt - but will do it anyway. This type of thing.</div> <div> <I>The average animal "computes" rather than "thinks", </I>most of the time, anyway. Example: The back door opens means your teenage son's coming back from school in the afternoon, and Rover will get fun time outside = when the back door opens any time of day or night, Rover gets all excited. Doesn't occur to him that your son only comes home from school once a day and it's located south of your house and that's why he comes in that door blah blah. Nope - that door opening = Play Time! Where's Steve??</div> <div> Example: my own dog Fox Mulder wears his harness 24/7. It's always on.  It's got his tags, it's quite comfortable, he's used to it, and he was raised with it. That's me, we've all got different ways we do things with our pets, but that's what I do. Okay. Now, it means nothing to him one way or the other, it's just a part of life, and turns out that being raised this way created an interesting phenomonon: to Fox, it's part of his body. He doesn't "differentiate" and think deeply about what's man-made construction vs what the body grows (skin, hair) etc. It just - is. </div> <div> I didn't know this at first. Now, sometimes I take it off just for a Fun Time Reward - he gets scratchies. Ooooh! He loves it! Sometimes I take the blue one off and put the red one on, so I can launder the blue one. In any case, when I would take it off, I noticed he got this instant slightly worried look in his eyes and would try to lick it. I let him as I could tell it meant a lot to him, and then tried to get in comm with him about it. There were no particular thoughts on it forthcoming, he just would act a certain way when it was removed. I observed him a bit after that. Sure enough, whenever I would take it off, it rattled him just a bit. I discovered that I needed to "peel" it off slowly and gently and then lay it down in front of him. He'd proceed to lick it very lovingly with glazed eyes, just for a little bit, then when he was satisfied all was well, he'd "release it to Mommy's care" and watch Mommy pick it up <I>lovingly</I> and put it wherever it was going (such as laundry basket). </div> <div> Again, from observation, I learned that I have to take it off verrry slowly and gently. If not, he gets that alarmed look in his eyes. I was like - what's UP with this? yet <U>he had no conscious thought about it.</U> Nothing "occurred" to him, it was just what was done, because this was part of his body that Mommy was removing to tend to, and to remove it fast was a shock to his system, <I>even though there was no actual "removal" pain or sensation.</I> From my end, I learned how to even better treat him (cater to his animal instincts and quirks) but further, I realized that this was yet another example of something just "happening", with its resultant reaction; again, there was no "thinking" involved about what it all meant and that it happened before blah blah - something was just the way it was.</div> <div> There's no judgement here as to wrong or right. We humans do this type of thing as well. Something presents itself, we don't understand, so we make "conclusions", correct or incorrect. Sure, it's incorrect that the harness is part of Fox's body. His body didn't grow it. It's not attached. It doesn't hurt when removed. But that doesn't matter to him. It smells like his body, it's contoured around his body, it has a mutual "relationship with his body, it resides about his body, it's a comfort zone and a "given", to him. He concludes that it's part of his body, and must be treated as such when removed. </div> <div> Ironically, it's not like he gets upset when it's off, either, such as for grooming or the-heck-of-it-time. He's like Oh, okay, guess this is some sort of Special Occasion, since something Different is happening! And then when I go to put another harness on, he gets all excited because "Mommy's putting the harness on!" It's not like he <I>thinking </I>I'm putting his removed foot back on or anything! It's just - time for a harness to be put onto his body by Mommy.</div> <div> They do this when they pick up on things, too, by the way. That is, you can get an idea and they can get it Just That Fast. You think about ice cream and they suddenly decide to show up with an inquisitive look on their face. Well, no reason it can't go a bit deeper. You're thinking about losing your job and the ramifications of that. Next thing, we talk to them and they're worried about Relocating. You're not planning on moving! But they could have snatched an entire concept of, like, Well, if I lose my job, we may have to blah blah with the mortgage and that reminds me of the time I had to move when I was x years old and I'd vowed I'd never do <I>that</I> again under those circumstances and where would we go, anyway? Heck, I always wanted to live in Colorado (grinning to self) What a nice fantasy, we'll all pack up and go to Colorado. Maybe we'll have some disaster (grinning) and we'll be "forced" to! Wow. Bring it ON!" (etc)  Well, your animal being can get an entire package-of-concept at once and 1. it not being, well, their <I>own</I> idependently developed train of thought, and 2. their not being sophisticated, necessarily, and/or not active member of society, they can be just as a human child would be about such matters: naive and simplistic, and just get out of it simple things that <U>they</U> can relate to on a "survival vs not survival" basis, Stimulus-Response, this type of thing ..... OMG, DenMommy's Moving The Nest?!?!</div> <div> It may be hard to get what I mean here, so just reflect on it for a bit...or observe your pet(s). See how they "think about", ponder, some things and try to make sense of them etc., and, how other things they just kind of go click-click-click Okay! This occurred = that's the way it is! almost robotically. Very responsive to stimuli, very instinct driven. Very take-for-granted.</div> <div> Heck, being instinct driven is what has let the Animal Kingdom develop and survive all these eons. </div> <div> But it can come off as "odd" out of the blue if/when your pet says some "illogical" thing mid-Consult. Just take it all from <I>their</I> point of view, lack of "education", and lack of entertaining the human-oriented concepts we so relish.</div> <div> <B>Animals are like 5 year old kids, mentality-wise. The being is wise but the "package", the "pet" you see, quite often isn't that sophisticated. Things "Just Happen". They "Just Are". They do things...Because They Did It. It occurred.</B></div> <div> You'll see more how this goes, and how to best work with it in your interactions with them, when you do the Initial Consultation.</div> <div> <A HREF="#top" TITLE="Aunt Julie Pet Communicator FAQs"><U><I>Top</I></U></A><I><B> </B></I><I><B> <A NAME="what_services_does_aunt_julie_offer_"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B></I></div> <div> <B>What services does Aunt Julie offer?</B></div> <div> I offer Consultations done over the telephone.

In that version, you would email me with what you wanted to know, I'd contact the animal telepathically, get the answers and feedback, and email you back. Well I'm not currently doing that version due to back disk-owie problems from years of sitting in front of the computer. No worries! With the Phone version, you and I can talk on the phone and the animal will tune right in - it's actually truly interactive - and you and I converse about things directly to and with them. It's three-way, that is, you and I are on the phone and in comm with the animal; human-wise, it's like a three-way phone call but I do the talking for the pet as well. </div> <div> I also now do International calling.

IF this happens, I don't cut them off, and will pass along what they're communicating. I don't encourage this in them as it's "off the record" i.e. you're not right there to have comm with them like you would with a regularly scheduled Consult, and I'm not "dealing with" them nor conversing. I get what they wish to get across, make sure they're praised and acknowledged for communicating, and I let you know what it was about. </div> <div> <A HREF="#top" TITLE="Aunt Julie Pet Communicator FAQs"><U><I>Top</I></U></A><I>  </I></div> <div> <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#660033" FACE="Tw Cen MT" ><B>What does Passed Over mean?</B></FONT> <A NAME="what_does_passed_over_mean__1"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></div> <div> <A HREF="what_does_passed_over__mean___.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="WHAT DOES PASSED OVER MEAN?!

Some coordinating is generally entailed and it is important to ensure that the animal being is prepared for the ramifications as well as his new life, and that the owner knows how to conduct themselves at the initial states of this transition. </div> <div> Let's say your cat Princess has cancer and euthanasia is imminent. In the course of the Preparatory Consultation, she says she would love to come back as another cat for you! Or a dog, or a bird. Or she will "send a cat by" for you, and you'll "know it's her". All seems fine, but...after the euthanasia, what about your day-to-day life? If a stray cat wanders by, is that Princess? If your neighbor suddenly tells you that her dog is about to give birth, is this a "sign"? </div> <div> When is it "too late" for Princess to take a new body? What if you aren't sure you want another dog, cat, bird <I>or</I> pet at all? Do you keep Princess' same toys? Bed? Cat food? What will she be like? Should you call her Princess, or - ?</div> <div> Is this even for <I>real!?</I></div> <div> <U>Yes, it's for real</U> and it happens all the time, but rather randomly. It's not generally structured or monitored, and no, chances are you won't trust your instincts well enough to know what to do. There is no guarantee that your pet will come back to you if they are uncertain about things. <I>Princess </I>may not even know what to do, whether the time is right for you, whether you still want her, what effects seeing her old toys may have on her, etc. </div> <div> We will address if necessary any and all of the above as well as their preferences as to species, breed and coloring, and your lifestyle and preferences. Ways to <I>get</I> this "exact" animal with the age range necessary for success are discussed <I>(I personally will not participate in kicking another being out of their body)</I>. Perhaps there is a kitten waiting right around the corner for you and you can't wait - but Princess wants to be a dog. Perhaps you wish to wait 4 months until you're done changing jobs and relocating. All this needs to be taken into account. </div> <div> There is an exact way to "take in" your "new" pet, too. Certain subjects need to be carefully avoided (vocally and in your thoughts). There is no "Fifi! You don't like Iams? Princess loved it!". There is an indoctrination which must occur - this is a new body for them and is fresh, ailment-free, has new and strong sensations, its own taste preferences, etc. They also need to be able to forget or remember as they so choose, learn potty training and tricks once again, tour their "new" home and generally be the New Baby. </div> <div> She is Fifi, <I>not</I> Princess.</div> <div> Most owners instinctly sense this but need a little help in the area. I've just talked to enough animal beings to know the effects created if this is not implemented at the outset. </div> <div> I will see them through their assumption of the new body and their initial settling-in period (such as their first night home). This can be right after their passing, or you can take the time you need and then get back to me and we'll do the Transitional Service when you're ready. </div> <div> NOTE: Also, do not expect them to have the "same personality" or to automaticaly get along with the same household pets they knew before. Sometimes they're a little bit touchy about being the "newbie" once again and the others are a little bit touchy about the "new pet" showing up etc. It takes time. Sometimes. </div> <div> Occasionally the pet will come up with a name for himself in his new (upcoming) body (lifetime) which carries a bit of a tribute to his just-finished lifetime. I do NOT advise this coming from the pet owner (or the suggestion of it had better be reeeeal "light" but if the animal comes up with it, so be it, as long as it's a clean decision, he's all morose and glomm-y sentimental about it. A head-held-high tribute "vibe" is great! </div> <div> Actual examples that the pets themselves came up with : Cassidy Quinn, a Ducorp's Cockatoo that passed over (died), came up with Quinn "Baby" McFee  (he wanted the quotes for whatever reason, and didn't even have to be called Baby - he just wanted that name exactly that way) and a passed over cat Goldman came up with Benny Goldman. </div> <div> P.S. The above is not available nor does it apply to animal beings who would state that they would like to or are going to go on to being human beings. Once we've done the Pre- and/or Post-, my involvement with them is done. I don't touch that.</div> <div> Example of Transitional in <A HREF="passed_over_pets_testimonials__chatty_and_chessy.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Aunt Julie Pet Communicator PASSED OVER"><U>Testimonial </U></A>form</div> <div> <B>How do you locate the animal being for the Consultation?</B><B> <A NAME="how_do_you_locate_the_right_being"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B></div> <div> <I><B>and also ~</B></I><B> Where do Dead Pets go?</B></div> <div> You'll find that both are covered in this same write-up. It's a bit long but should prove informative.</div> <div> <B>What I've found regarding "dead" animals directly relates to </B><I><B>how </B></I><B>I do what I do in the first place. </B>How does one find that being in the first place, to communicate with them? You email me about your dog Rover, want me to ask him what foods he likes etc. How do I find Rover? YOUR Rover, in fact? </div> <div> Let's break it down, back it up a bit and walk down the logic trail.</div> <div> As discussed elsewhere on this site, animals are quite telepathic - they do this naturally. The "barks" and "meows" are what their bodies' sounds are literally physically capable of and are unto themselves one way an animal communicates. They utilize sound waves just as we do, but a dog can't "speak" as we do. Nor can a dolphin roar like a lion. The bodies simply aren't designed with the right equipment!</div> <div> Again, this is a physical form of communication that ranks along side with their other obvious physical communications (such as tail wagging). But they are very, very telepathic, so when attention is directed their way - specifically their way - they tune right in. It's instantaneous, slowed perhaps only by the occasional inattention, distraction or their being caught off guard ("Huh? Who's that!?") which WE also might do if we were laying in the sun snoozing - listening to music - caught in our own thoughts - or simply just not expecting somebody we don't know to go knock-knock on our mental door! But as soon as they realize what's going on, they're excited and I get a lot of "Well, Hi!" type of concept. They don't think twice about this telepathic contact coming their way, past the initial occasional being slightly startled by being interrupted from whatever they happened to be into that moment. It's we <I>humans</I> that would think we were "crazy" or something if this happened to us; we've got it so trained <I>out</I> of us that it seems unnatural, when it's actually not only quite natural, it's also what we're doing all the time too! The thought/concept come first; the subsequent decision to say something (with our mouths, tongues & voices) follow as we know that's the only way the other guy will "get" what we're communicating.</div> <div> (Some <I>do</I> get it, but they're so pooh-pooh'd at, invalidated, Oh Come ON!, laughed at and drilled into "social" behavior etc that they soon forget they could do it and in fact lose the ability. They "grew up", or they lost friends. Stories such as Peter Pan and Dr. Doolittle have an element of truth running through them, despite the fantasy spun around it!)</div> <div> Anyway, the animal being is very easy to contact. <B>You and I are human beings </B>- a being (YOU, the one who lays in bed thinking at night, the one who wonders what 24 x 4 is, the one who uses their arm to scratch their itching leg) plus a human species body. <B>They are an animal being because they are a being plus an animal species body. </B></div> <div> The bodies influence the beings a lot. If you had a cat body which was highly stimulated by little running things as they equated base-line survival (something to catch and eat), you'd also have no qualms about bringing your "kill" to your master as that, too, is part of something that aids survival. We on the other hand, being "civilized" humans and capable of finding a meal at any fast food place, would find a dead mouse on our doorstep rather repulsive. <B>Yet both your cat and you are beings, and both are thinking and doing and computing decisions as we see fit and correct. </B></div> <div> So there is a being there, and this being is uniquely <I>himself</I> (per se, they have no literal gender, the body does - though just as we do, they often define themselves as male or female because their body is male or female). <B>And that's who I find when I "reach out" and look for your Rover. And he's right there to receive my "connection" and so the conversing starts.</B></div> <div> One of the reasons it makes it easier for me to have some basic key details about the animal you want contacted and it can really help to have a picture of them to hand is that it's a good "ice breaker" - I can visualize them in their complete form (for lack of better wording) which is how they view themselves. They ARE a kitty and they are fluffy white and so big and such and such and their name is Cassie and they love big plush pillows. If I have this concept in mind it helps me link up to and with the correct being out there. There are a lot of animals, a lot of cats, many named Cassie and so on.</div> <div> Compare if a friend took you to a train station, pointed to all of the people and said "Ok, who am I here looking for?" You might at least wish them to narrow it down to male or female; once you know it's a male, it'd be nice if your friend told you it's her nephew. Gives you an age range...perhaps some physical attributes. It can be difficult to "fly blind". It's not "cheating" - we're talking about a living being here and each individual, whether animal or human, is different and unique than all others. I need some prompts to accurately locate <I>your</I> animal friend. And when I've got him, I've got him. </div> <div> <U>When an animal's body dies,</U><I><U> he's</U></I><U> still contactable.</U> There have been many times where I found a being and had no idea if they were "dead" or "alive" because I was conversing with a living being anyway! and they also had no idea. This was wild at first, believe me! They'd have recorded a mental picture of their body laying there dead, so I'd see this picture and conclude that Yes, they had been killed, for example, and they, not particularly caring or knowing that this had any importance one way or the other, would simply go, Huh. Well, OK. So to the humans, I'm "dead". (Some, not all. Like human beings, they have varying ideas about what it all means.)</div> <div> They do of course often miss the physical contact, the huggies and stroking, the warmth, the closeness with their owners and so on. They also get quite upset at the owner's upset, grief and loss. They know of no way to comfort the owner as the owner can't "hear" them. They can be right THERE and no one knows it! Heck, the only reason that <I>that</I> isn't as upsetting as it could be is that frankly, they got used to <I>that</I> long ago simply by virtue of the fact that they were around humans who couldn't understand them their entire lives!</div> <div> Some take over new bodies (puppies, kittens) and when they have done so they are influenced by this <I>new</I> body, it's hunger, its growing sensations, its sleepiness, its freshness at being so young and new and so on, their new owners call them by a different name, they're in a new house, new smells, a new kid around throwing a ball which distracts them right into their new current environment which is so fun! and.....you get the idea. They are no longer Tiffany the 15 year old sick cat, they are now Rex the baby German Shepherd.</div> <div> <B>But they are always accessible as it's the </B><B><U>being</U></B><B> that's being contacted.</B> A couple of specific examples: go to my Testimonials page and click on the picture on the left hand side of Tuppence the cat, or the Sophie/Denny pictures (the Australian Shepherd Sophie, not the Golden Retriever). </div> <div> Locating and identifying the correct being? It's almost like those movies and classically, soap operas, where someone disappears and comes back a long time later post-plastic surgery and their spouse doesn't <I>know</I> it's their husband or wife!? Yeah, right - I don't think so. You'd know if it was them or not. You know the actual person: the being! </div> <div> Well, it's that same "knowing". Some people just happen to have a more honed ability in the area than others.</div> <div> What does it "feel" like? Mmmm....it's not, but is similar to, a pinpoint location of emanation. It feels like ~ "life".</div> <div> <I>A joke received recently over the net:</I></div> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="710" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 217 WIDTH="698"><div> <I>A woman was worried whether or not her dead husband made it to heaven, so she decided to try to contact his spirit by having a seance.</I></div> <div> <I>Sure enough, after the usual mumbo-jumbo of calling to the spirits, her husband's voice was heard answering, "Hello Margaret, this is meeee..." </I></div> <div> <I>"Fred," she answered.

"The sky is bluer, the air is cleaner, and the pastures are much more lush and green than I ever expected.

"What heaven? I'm a buffalo in Montana."</I></div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <div> <B>Where do the passed-over animals go?</B> They're between bodies hanging out by a rock or tree or the left side of your bedroom wall or they have new bodies. They're your next door neighbor's frog or they're a newborn lion in Africa or they're hanging out around Philadelphia because they think it's cool to now be unhindered like they were when they were being an iguana in a cage.</div> <div> <B>This doesn't fly into the teeth of any religion or philosophy.</B> Whether or not they are subsequently swooped up by a Supreme Being could still be up the line and is not discounted here, nor are Heaven or Hell for those who believe; Karma applies here for those who believe; reincarnation applies here for those who believe - etc etc etc. In fact, the only thing this flies in the teeth of are those who are certain that we are all molecules, only. Our bodies are, yep, but I think you already know better about the rest of this discussion. </div> <div> So the point is that what's true holds up under inspection, and when you've conversed with a being, there's no turning back. You know what you know, and you know it as surely as you know your name. I'm sure you've had <I>some</I> experience in your life that couldn't be explained YET no one could shake you that it had happened. Something that was a "things that go boomp in the night". A feeling that someone really <I>was</I> in the room that night...you both wanted to eat the same thing for dinner <I>and</I> rent the same movie...the time the phone rang and you <I>knew</I> who it was (yeah, maybe later you decided that it was just a good guess...riiiiiight. You <U>knew</U> and that's that).</div> <div> <A HREF="#top" TITLE="Aunt Julie Pet Communicator FAQs"><U><I>Top</I></U></A></div> <div> <B>Why do they think they're dead when they're not / alive when they're not?</B><I><B> <A NAME="why_do_they_think_they_re_dead_when_not_"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B></I></div> <div> It's more like they assume, or they conclude, this. They don't lie, really - they just don't know in some cases.</div> <div> Sometimes it's simply a matter of them not knowing what hit them. Literally. A hard-hitting example was a lost pet (one of the reasons I no longer do "lost pets" by the way); she had been gone a week. I got in comm with her and she recalled distinctly trotting down the side of the windy moutainous shoulderless hill-side road, and visiting various houses along the way, working her way through the forest la-de-dah. We kept checking on her and the sites she'd seen. Then one day someone read one of the flyers and contacted the owner and told them how he had hit their dog with his truck and so on, anyway, it was confirmed that she was dead and had been since <I>the first evening </I>she had left. I had to gently get concept across to her. She was like..Huh? At first it was like, okay..... so .. what does <I>that</I> mean? Nothing had changed for her, far as she knew! She was still "alive and well"! We went over the basic concepts again. She was like...Oh. She did then recall something about some sort of impact which did not hurt, she had been happily trotting along the side of the road, heard an engine, this did not spook her, she was in a Great Mood! and some sort of "bam" and she was "out" and then kind of, well, the equivalent of almost comically "shaking herself off" and continued on as though nothing had happened. Except this part was in her mind. She had the sensations (of walking and so on) all intact, mentally (not dissimilar to an amputee's "arm" itching). NO this is not the case with all of them! but it does happen, and does contribute to them thinking they're  alive when they're not, depending.    (Plus on the "alive when they're not", you've got the added factor of them being <B>a living </B><I><B>being</B></I><B>.</B>) Also, they've got the same array of confused ideas as we. You're assuming they're "in Heaven" or "at The Bridge" <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_Bridge_%28pets%29#External_links" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_Bri"><U>("RaInbow Bridge")</U></A> (go to the top of that page - for some reason this link only takes you to the bottom) or "with angels" or "with your deceased dad" or "with Scruffy their passed over cat friend". Perhaps they are, or are not. Perhaps "being in Heaven" for them is hanging out at the top of a tree they could never access before. But your concept of Heaven and their reality of Heaven would then differ, right? I had a client upset because her passed over dog cheerfully reported that she was now happiily a similar type male dog in another state. The client said You can't believe in reincarnation and also in the Bible!! and was quite upset. I'm no theologian and told her so. That's what the dog told me, so that's what I passed along. I did recall that on occasion, if a passed over pet had mentioned the idea of being another animal, that pet's owner would comment, Oh! Well, I guess God (or Jesus) has more for them to do / has more work for them on Earth first / before calling them to Heaven / similar.  Over the years, quite a few folks have had that spontaneous comment. This was what was real for THEM. This one lady? Not so. She had a different upbringing or indoctrination or belief system. </div> <div> And the pets, those beings, can pick up on your ideas, hear you talking about it, etc. They try to interact with you, can't. They try to tell you that they're in the spare bedroom by the left corner of the bed looking out the window, or, they're by your right cheek trying to warm it up so you feel the sensation. They try to send you their questions about What happened to them!?, perhaps. They go more and more into despair, figuring, well, where, who or what <I>are</I> they, then? since they're obviously not "dead" since <I>you </I>have the above-definitions of "dead" (and being ever-obedient, they go by what you think) and since that does not apply to them, so they must not be dead, therefore....um....???? (<U>THINK 5 year old child mentality.</U>). </div> <div> This is by the way part of why I fell into specializing in Passed Over Consults: I am HAPPY to just let them be who they are, have whatever reality THEY have about things, etc. NO pre-ordained ideas about things. I do not project "Julie-ology" onto them or anyone else's "-ologies". They are as they are and are allowed to be as they are. If they are hanging out in a bush staring at a river, that's what they're doing. If they're up in the clouds - literally - with other beings doing performances with a top hat on, that's what they're doing. And more power to 'em! Just - whatever they say is fine with me, and this is very comfortable (and comforting) to them. </div> <div> There is more information about all this on the <A HREF="passed_over___passing_over_pet_consultations_order_here.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Aunt Julie Pet Communicator PASSED OVER"><U>Passed Over ordering page</U></A> and from reading some of the <A HREF="passed_over_pets_testimonials_.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Aunt Julie Pet Communicator PASSED OVER"><U>Passed Over </U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="passed_over_pets_testimonials_.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Aunt Julie Pet Communicator PASSED OVER"><U>Testimonials</U></A> (as well as about <A HREF="how_does_it_all_work_.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="HOW DOES IT ALL WORK?"><U>how it all works</U></A>).

Often I hear that they have not gotten over it for many, many years. </div> <div> You should know going in that occasionally the animal being will spew out some ire, some upset, some curse words, mid-stream. It happens. It goes away and they get to express all sorts of things they needed and/or wanted to say that they have previously been unable to! Passed over pets understand a LOT more than the owners think and also forgive a lot. They're generally already used to the fact that it's, well, happened and done with. They are also aware of being (literally) alive and aware, and cognizant of the fact that their owners <I>aren't</I> aware that this animal being is still (literally) alive and aware and has been all along. </div> <div> It's not hard on them to be contacted after they have passed over; they usually "flip out" at the re-connection. It blows them away, they're so happy and grateful! We cannot therefore be greedy and worry about ourselves, our feelings. Our beloved pets can <I>finally</I> say and/or ask what they have been wanting to. They are very moved by the fact that the owner cared and reached towards them enough that one more time - and got through, using a Pet Communicator. There are often no words to express their feelings. </div> <div> It's almost like - why deny this joy to them? And IF the passed-over animal is mad.....it allows them to vent. Allows them to get things off of their chest. They'll feel better - they always do. I've gotten maybe 2 or 3 "Arrrgh! You murderer!" which blows over in about a minute or less. (YOU just have to buck up and listen - let them say it. They don't blame you, they're just lashing out. YOU blame you. But...you're rising above that to whatever degree or you wouldn't be using the time and money to have a talk with them to put things right in your or their estimation!),the point being, you can do it.</div> <div> Side note: If you know passing is imminent, you are welcome to have a Consultation for just this situation. Yes, it's appropriate: preparing our pet for what's coming. <I>Don't</I> think they don't know, nor have their own questions and concerns (often just about how the <I>owners </I>are going to be!!) Sometimes they want to know what to expect afterwards. Sometimes they want to know if it will hurt. Some they want to be carried there in their favorite blanket, some not. Sometimes they have specifc requests as to who is to go with them and who is not.  I have had <I>remarkable success</I> with helping out in these types of delicate situations: before and after, as one "Consultation" and one "Follow-Up". Example (actual email excerpt from my helping someone with this exact circumstance):<I> "I can't say 'thank you' enough. You've been a complete blessing through this whole thing. I'm sure God blesses you for your kindness, compassion, and for the help you give to humans and animals. Thanks for everything.

That's the best description of what it's like.</div> <div> I call you. (Unless passed over) your pet's around, doing some normal thing (including snoozing). A long as they're not unduly distracted, it doesn't much matter what's happening at their end. If you'd like to, you have your spouse, daughter, friend, whoever, there with you for the Consult. They can use an extension phone or ifyou've got a speaker phone use that. Having someone else there is up to you but it should only be whoever you know the animal will be comfortable with, and who is also involved in your pet's life. Skip your neighbor who's just curious to see "how it all goes". Your pet deserves privacy!</div> <div> I'll briefly go over with you how things work, but basically, <B>I get the animal's concepts and I flesh them out so that they make sense in human, English words, and pass them along. </B>You will or you will not see "correlating" actions or reactions with your pet. May as well not sit there staring at them; treat this a little bit more like a 3-way phone call and they're kind of...somewhere else, at the other end of the phone line. (YES, you can observe them, they're laying right there, it's not like you can't look at them! Just don't stare at them looking hungrily for What They're Saying Via Aunt Julie to "reflect" on their faces etc.)</div> <div> I can talk pretty fast so can keep up with their thought processes.</div> <div> They spew out this and that, they answer questions, they ask questions, they voice ideas. They send emotions, temperature sensations, focus points as to where there might be pain, etc.</div> <div> <B>I don't do any "healing". I am not there to "do" something to them or to their body. I am there to communicate for them, to you.</B></div> <div> At your end, you basically listen and you talk with me (them). <B>It sounds awkward and weird, but it isn't. </B>Now, if you want to tell them you love them, you can say, "Rover, I love you" or you can say, "Tell Rover I love him". It's no matter. (Once agan, you don't have to be looking at them and so on to deliver the communication to them.)  </div> <div> After a bit, all conversation, questions, issues, discussion points are exhausted and we're basically done. The average time is an hour, that's why I price by the hour. It just always seemed to work out that way, case by case - an hour or a little bit more. We end off smoothly; the animal should feel done, satisfied with how it went. His questions should be answered, his concerns addressed, and he should be left feeling that we feel he gave it his all - did his best - when it came to offering up information <I>you </I>requested of him<I>. </I></div> <bR> <div> <B>He should feel that his secrets are safe</B>, that <B>he has not hurt anyone's feelings</B>, that <B>you "got" his jokes</B>, that <B>you truly </B><I><B>will </B></I>tell the vet information X, <B>that you do believe that </B>he has picked up on and is concerned about the second child's reading ability, or your husband's worries about his job, or what the other cat has been thinking regarding his cat food....and so on. </div> <div> Along these lines, during the course of the Consult sometimes the pet will come up with some this or that that's Very Important To Them! to have, see, do, experience, eat, whatever. Now, this is for real, at least at the time they say it. But I've had plenty of times the dog or cat really, really wants this or that and then later when they get it, they simply glance at it and are "done". The owners s<I>ome</I>times get a bit put off by that. "They said they wanted a dog-shaped squeaky toy that had to be light brown but also not look <I>exactly</I> like a dog because that would be too creepy! I went out and found just that - and they took one look at it and walked away!" </div> <div> <B>I should mention that they can change their minds mid-stream on things.</B> One minute they're very insistent that they do NOT wish to be cremated and they wish to be buried so that their remains will contribute to the eco-system of the soil. A few other subejects get discussed and they feel very good now and decide that they could care less and you could cremate them after all! They DO mean it. They are not being flightly. They are angry at the other dog for teasing them so much. Once they get this off their chest, they love this dog and always have. Each animal's different, just as we are. Some will spring some changes on you, some won't. When it's a touchy matter (e.g. the cremation mentioned above) it can be difficult. Sometimes it's something more innocuous (they really want to go the the beach now now now! You say, Okay, as soon as we're done here I'll rearrange my day and blah blah.

About a week later (for example) we talk again and Boing! they keep on rollin'. They find that they've been feeling "inexplicably better / free-er" (etc) for about a week now and Boy! can they rap on NOW! etc etc. I just wanted you to know that I did have experience X and it was horrible and they bite me and blah blah!

If a focal point of the Consult was their peeing all over the place, whether or not they continue to pee all over the place is not the "change" (or not) I'm referring to. </div> <div> Many times, they'll do that first Consult (and quite often, subsequent Consults, even every time for some of them) and either be all "heady" and/or cerebral, or run 'round 'round 'round, or be weird and morose with lonnnnnnng glances at Mommy / Daddy, or sit and stare, or sleep real heavily, or be all Mommy-Mommy and follow ya everywhere, or wake up the next day all Happeeeeee! type of thing. All this is normal right-after-we-first-talked activity for 'em. </div> <div> (Note on "the cerebral": I call it that even though they don't think or compute with their brain , they use their mind for it, which is a different thing, but anyway you know what I mean.) So what you might see is them "lost in thought" or pondering a lot or watching the Other Pets a bit oddly as though suddenly re-thinking What It All Means, or whatever. Eh. Get 'em outside and playing, or doing some other DOGGIE thing. Or KITTY thing (Wiggle a string gently.). Or Ferret. If it's a goldfish, heck, gently put a little tiny plant sprig in there for them to timidly inspect, goldfish style. Something where this "animal" can just BE an animal. Be that species and that breed....something where this spiritual being who we have been talking with, can "got back to" being a DAWG - woof! They can get kind of grounded again. They can experience, revel in, enjoy, challenge with, win with, the life they are living as Your Dog or Your Kitty or even A Dog or Horse, if, say, you buy a Consult for a neighbor's horse (some do this type of thing), or they're a feral cat, whatever. Folks buy Consults to talk to a variety of animals (not just their own pets). Remember, the complete "package" is, yes, that being we talked to, with their mind, but also very much their body, with all its instincts and impulses and its taste buds and its nerve-and-muscle interactions saying, Jump, kitty! and so on...so let them enjoy! </div> <div> I discovered this by the way from a lot of <I>them </I>needing and wanting this. They get "fried" (just as I can, or we all can, from such head-work.). They want you to Take them for a walk. Throw a ball. A lot of them want food, treats, rewards, etc., now now now like the <I>second</I> we get off the phone (and often a very specific type of food or treat). </div> <div> A LOT of them have mentioned that they want you to, literally, get down on the floor with them (your bad back or not!) and just lay there, roll around, let them jump on you, wrestle, stare at you, whatever. Just get on down there and have at it! This can be very important to them. </div> <div> So now I highly recommend it, pretty much wholesale (all the time, with all of them). </div> <div> Also, remember to not discuss t
