Hey Bridget,

Glad to see you back. I always enjoyed reading your posts. So very very true, these fur babies have a lot to teach us. They teach us something every day we connect to them. I continue to be awed by them.

Comment on How do you celebrate with your pet? by Brenda

My son found an abandoned kitten & we held “Lucky” constantly. She thought she was a human. We live in a rural area so she loved to roam the woods & bring moles home, line them up at the front door proudly. We knew when a thunderstorm would be approaching as “Lucky” would run to the house like a bat out of hell, thump with her hind feet on the front door (her “I want in” trained the humans routine) to be let in and run to the basement bottom step, pressing herself as closely to it as she could, wimpering. We knew a thunderstorm was approaching, and routinely 15 minutes later, more accurate than the TV News/Weather report.

I loved Coco’s idea of the perfect job!!! After all, they are so good at tuning into our needs and concerns- why not be appreciated for being such good listeners! It also makes me wonder! After I read about it in your blog, I too started giving my 2 dogs the job of watching the house while I was away. Now I wonder what jobs they would rather have?!

This story brought happy tears to my eyes I LOVE hearing about animals that have a job they love. I normally think about working dogs under this light – you can SEE the excitement in every move they’re required to make for their jobs – but sweet Coco had an equally helpful job, of another genre, in mind

Awwww! Coco sends love and kisses. We have not made cookies yet but I talk to her whenever I fix food in the kitchen. Thanks for a great reading, Bridget!

Comment on Complex Emotions in an Adopted Horse by Marietta Roby

This is so interesting. When I got Sadie, a 3 y.o. mustang mare who came to me for last chance training, she was very angry. Sadie’s inexperienced adopters thought that “round penning” a horse meant running them past exhaustion until it gives in. But Sadie is a fighter (she also had pneumonia, so exhaustion came early) so after a while she charged at the person running her. He ran out of the pen, and the pattern was set. When Sadie came to me three months later, just walking past her pen would cause her to charge with her ears pinned. Going in was flat dangerous, and our first several sessions were pretty scary. I know absolutely that in her earlier sessions with her first adopters, Sadie had tried to communicate with them, but they could not see the subtle horse language and continued to chase her, and eventually she gave up trying to communicate and turned to attack. I could actually see the moment when she realized that I could understand her and respond.

In mustang gentling, I use a lunge whip to stroke the horse all over while maintaining body distance, and also as a means of getting a rope on a horse that arrives without a halter, as Sadie did. So after a few days, I brought my long lunge whip in. She was shocked and betrayed and terrified and wanted to attack, but kept restraining herself. And pretty soon learned what it was like to be stroked gently with the flexible whip. And learned to accept it. Funny thing, though. After a few days of this, I forgot and left the whip in her pen overnight. The next morning I found it thoroughly stomped and killed. Ruined. And she was done and has never done anything like that again.

Sadie stayed on and is now the horse dearest to my heart.

Comment on Pets are Talking Students Speak about their Experience! by Jill Christopher

Bridget,

Fate brought you to my live piggie cam, but God brought me to your blog. I am looking for a way to subscribe to updates. I have read a little, but will read all of it very soon. I began using an animal communicator when I adopted a bearded collie mix and just couldn’t understand what she needed. She was crazy and for the first time in 12 adoptions, I thought of returning her. But when I adiopt I make a covenant with the animal and with God that I will care for them for their natural life.

In one session, Suzie’s behaviour began to change for the better, and I have my vet as a believer in animal communication.

That once chance to understand Suzie was 10 years ago and she became one of the finest dogs I’ve ever shared my life with.

Bless you for the work you do, it’s sometimes literally a life saver.
