My students must make several leaps to successfully talk with animals. They must suspend their fear and disbelief long enough to sign up and pay for the workshop. They must try to connect and talk to animals with relative strangers over the phone. They must try again when they are wrong.
but now 2 days later I’m having my doubts. It was very emotional, the
emotion just welled up in my chest and throat, and he did have a couple of odd
phrases, so it was either real or I have a very vivid imagination. I also
didn’t do any of that grounding or connecting stuff, so this is another reason
I have doubts.
So anyway, on Sunday hubby and I were on a day trip to Charleston and we were
driving along and the sunroof was open and it was a bright sunny morning.
Music was on the radio and I was just very relaxed and so I asked Clem in my
head if I could speak with him and I hear a voice say “well, of
course” and we spoke for maybe 10 or 15 minutes.
Bridget, it was like speaking with a very wise and spiritual soul. He is
here, he said, to help me with the lessons of patience and humility.
At one point he said (I wrote this down) “It’s ok to just
He talked some about his life with the other woman and her other
pets. He said (wrote this down, too) “I was the boss of
them………….I got old and sick and they were the boss of me”.
I told him I would have liked to have known him as a puppy and as a young dog
and he told me that in this life he came to me twice as a puppy and those 2
lives were short, so this time he came to me already old. He said when I
was a little girl I once shared a lollipop with him and he’s never forgotten.
Since this life of his is almost over I asked him if he would come back to
me. Clem said this has been a very long life for him and he will want a
long rest on the spirit side, but if he doesn’t come back to me in this life
don’t worry because his spirit is connected to mine forever.
wanted to let you know Clem passed on yesterday. We miss him terribly as
he was a very big presence in a little tiny body. The household seems
quiet and empty without him, but we know he’s in a better place, whole and
happy and bossy.
One odd thing………Clem kept himself and me to a strict
schedule. At 9pm every night if I wasn’t making the motions to go to bed,
he’d stand up and bark at me like, “don’t you see what time it
is?”. Last night Jim and I were sitting on the sofa, just kind of in
a daze, when all of a sudden Quest, the big boxer, stood up, looked at us,
barked twice and walked down the hall to go to bed. We looked at the
clock and, yep, it was 9pm! Clem left Quest a job to do.
I want to thank you again for the class and my one opportunity to really
communicate with Clem. I know why he was here with me and,
though the loss hurts now, deep down I know his spirit will always be
connected with mine………..because he told me so.

Nice one, Bridget.
Thanks for sharing Clem and his person’s story- it was so lovely.
I do agree, that when you first start talking with the animals- it’s hard to trust that you are actually hearing them!
Our beloved greyhound just passed and I knew it was going to be an important opportunity to strengthen my beliefs about both communication and Beyond.
He’s come back at least 2 times with messages now and sent messages with our other pets.
It’s such a gift- knowing that he’s still around and believing that yes, indeed- we can still feel and hear him!
Thanks for teaching people how to connect with their pets- it’s such a blessing that the connection of love lasts through eternity!
