This is why so many of my clients are told that comfort will be sent, or your soul connection animal will return without you having to search - they will always find you.

She was in exactly the right spot.

THROWBACK THURSDAY!

Ozzy and the magic wand

Preparing animals for a veterinary procedure is quite important- vet visits are extremely stressful and animals with certain conditions need to be kept calm, not only for the visit, but also the procedure. During the preparation it is like explaining to a young child what will happen and you need to come up with fun ways to explain to get them excited instead of fearful.

Ozzy is a little doggie that I have worked with before, and I was asked to get him ready for an ultrasound of his heart because they need to get his meds right for his particular condition.

I explained to him that he would be visiting the doctors and that everyone is really nice there and that his mom will be waiting while he is there, and that she trusted them, so he could trust them.

And then came the "fun" part -I explained that they would be using a magic wand (transducer) and that only the most special dogs get the magic wand, so he should be super proud! To which he responded excitedly "oh wow!"

I reemphasised the fact that he must keep very still because he has a bad heart and we don't want him to struggle to breathe. And I also asked that he doesn't munch (bite) on the doctor's or assistants hands because they didn't want to look at his teeth, so no need to show them or bite if he got scared.

And finally- reward - I told him that a big reward would be waiting after, and he made me taste and smell what he wanted - McDonald's chips. And it was agreed that he would get his treat afterwards.

This afternoon I was rushing around when Ozzy's mom told me that they had arrived for the appointment, so I just kept him calm - which wasn't really needed because he wasn't freaking out, he actually just seemed excited.

After the appointment was done I got a message to say that he did wonderfully, he sat still and the nurses adored him, AND he got his McDonald's as promised. I even got a video of him excitedly munching away - which was quite comical.

I did a quick connection to thank him for his bravery and he seemed extremely proud.

On Friday the 3rd of March, I received a message from a very worried mom whose little girl named Jayde had gone missing on the 28th of February. She was extremely worried because it was unlike Jayde to be away from home.

I connected and started what I call "a free flow" - this is when I gather the wave of images, smells, tastes, thoughts and feelings of the missing animal that I am working with, and relay all this to the parent. And then the parent and I try and decipher what I get.

We got quite a few clues such as:

When asked where she is, she said, "Outside where the tree with the light is," I
asked her to show me what she saw, and the image shifted between some sort of short garden lamp and a street light pole. The large pole is a bit of a hazy yellow, as if there was mist in front of it.

A type of fence made of wooden poles and Jayde also mentioned a "straight bush road".

It was misty on Friday night, so the yellow street pole outside was hazy and if you looked past it there was another pole that looked shorter - like a garden light - it turned out that it was just further down the hill, making it appear small. The wooden fence was identified as the neighbour's balcony safety fence, and the straight bush road was identified as running behind the house where she went missing from. Her mom also confirmed that everything in that direction points to the area where she would go to if she's scared.

Which meant that we had a general direction that we could focus more of the search on (I need to add that any search must never only be in one direction).

Little Jayde's mind was racing, and she was extremely anxious, so I needed to help her calm down - I told her to relax and gather her thoughts. She was also hungry and shaky, so I was worried about her blood sugar levels. I asked her to find some water if she could.

Jayde's mom had hung all her bedding and Jayde's hat that she had slept on since a kitten outside, she had also cooked food outside so that the smell would travel - everything she could to help guide her home.

I encouraged Jayde to help us by being brave and trying to come home on her own and said goodnight, hoping that I would wake up to good news on Saturday.

Sadly, no luck and by Saturday evening she hadn't moved, I asked her why she hadn't moved and she told me that I said she must just relax. I explained again that she needs to help us by thinking of how to get home. I told her that I could feel that she was extremely close to home.

I told her how beautiful her hat was, and she told me that she missed her hat. I asked her to show me more things that she had seen and she showed me a red staggered flat roof (but she wasn't on it) and I could feel and see leaves around me, it was very bushy, it had a 'foresty' smell of wet earth and decaying leaves. It seemed that the sun didn't really touch the ground.

I begged Jayde to start moving to make an attempt to get home and hoped that I would wake up to good news on Sunday.

On Sunday, there had been absolutely no movement from her side. Everything felt the same, and I couldn't see anything new. I was really starting to get worried. I prefer to feel animals moving around (unless I ask them to stay in one place).

I explained to her mom that I couldn't pick anything up and said that I would try again on Monday.

On Monday, I checked and felt absolutely deflated. She was still in the same place, her energy was so low, and I just didn't know what to do. So, as a last-ditch effort, I decided to speak to Jayde's sister, Tia, to find out if she could help find her sister.

Tia said that all she knew was that she had walked out the gate, and then she said a J turning left.

I relayed this, and Jayde's mom said that she would go out and look - I told Jayde that it's now or never - she must meow as loud as she can if she hears her mom.

An hour later I received a photo of Jayde eating with the wonderful words "I found her!"

While Jayde's mom was trying to sort her out, I was so excited and just wanted to know where she had been. Finally, I received the message that she was in a bush and meowed her little heart out when her mom called. The road was a Left J.

Jayde is back home after being missing for almost a week. Everyone is so relieved to have her home - the last picture I got was of her fast asleep.

And Jayde has been reunited with her beloved hat.

THROWBACK THURSDAY!

Opening a dialogue during behavioural consultations is absolutely vital and this can never be underestimated, even though I am qualified as a behaviourist and can help in both ways, I have found that communication is a much greater tool. The dialogue gives feedback and requests from both sides to create an understanding between both parties as well as a deeper bond.

Behaviour work can take days, to weeks, or even months, and many people think that I can fix issues within one behavioural treatment cycle. Long-term care physicians such as Psychologists, Psychiatrists can’t fix a human in one session, and that is often the same for animals. I wish I was a miracle worker that could fix everything immediately, but I am not one.
I was contacted to assist with a beautiful German Shepherd named Cara. There seemed to be a disconnect between her and her mom as if there was a lack of mutual understanding. She was chosen by a breeder specifically due to her mom’s disability, her temperament seemed to be a great match as a dog that can be a companion emotional support dog. She is loving and gentle but will get excited to a point where her mom physically can simply not keep up with her. It was a struggle to get her to come when called and understand that play times may be short on difficult days. She would also roam the farm, far away to a point where it would pose a massive risk to her own safety and stress her mom out terribly.

As I connected, Cara came inside and fell asleep next to her mom – animals often fall asleep when I start connecting.

Cara’s mom was worried that she could not do Cara justice to give her enough one-on-one playtime or catch her because she would not come when called, which was causing frustration and friction.

And so, one of the first things that were asked was whether Cara was overwhelmed by her mom’s disability. Cara explained how much she loves her mom, that she is amazing, but that she feels that there isn’t a connection. I asked her in what way, and she said that she didn’t always know what to do and that she felt that she couldn’t do what she (personally) wanted. I explained to her that her mom cares deeply for her and that she cannot always play as much as Cara would like to. Cara relayed how she felt that she cannot live up to what is expected of her but she tries, and I told her that I understood that.

I spoke to her about roaming the farming areas because there were no fences and the extreme dangers that she faced. Cara said that she doesn’t care about the dangers and I bluntly said that she was being reckless and that it was a bit selfish putting her mom through all this worry when she is not around. She needed to not only stay close to home because of the different dangers (I gave her a long list of bad things that could happen) as well as protect and warn her mom of any dangers. Cara eventually said that she understood what I was saying to her.

I then asked her for 2 things to understand and 1 thing to work on:

1. Understand that her mom physically cannot give the amount of play time that she so desperately wants to give and that her mom loves and cares for her deeply. I explained the limitations of her mom and what the reason for this was.
2. Know that she is loved, cherished and belongs. And that her mom gets discouraged and sad when there is no reaction from her side.
3. That she stays closer to home and not go far so that she can be close when her mom calls her to help her, protect both of them, and come in at night-time for bedtime to keep her safe. I told her that she would get an extra treat when she went inside when called – and I got absolute silence from that statement. Turns out that bribery with treats is pointless with her because she is not motivated by them.

Cara wanted me to apologise to her mom and explain that she would like for their connection to grow. And with that our session ended. I asked for daily updates which her mom has been sending through.

I want to tell Cara’s story as her behaviour started shifting from day to day as I was working with her - updates, progress or even setbacks.

Day 1 – Cara got to chase the car on the farm for some exercise – she LOVES it. She refused to come into the house when asked, but she agreed to get into the bakkie and go for a drive, when they arrived home she decided to come in.
It seemed like a promising start, so because Cara is not food driven, the bakkie becomes her reward, because she loves running after it as well as being in it.
I connected with Cara and explained again that it is important that she comes in when her mom calls her.

Day 2 – there was a lot of rain, so the bakkie couldn’t be used. Cara came in when asked and played some sniffing games with some food.
Cara’s mom explained how she feels that she is able to communicate and understand Cara better, which was amazing – it is important to grow the bond and to understand each other. I also connected with Cara to tell her how proud we are of her progress.

Day 3 – I wanted to ask specific update questions about things that I specifically needed her to work on. She was staying closer to home and not going all over the place and she started doing excellent recalls to come into the house when requested and the bakkie was used as a reward. Her mom also noticed certain things would hype her up too much and started working on those things on her own – I was so happy to hear that she was learning about Cara and what to do to calm her down.
One of the most wonderful things was that Cara came to lay with her mom on the bed and had her head on her mom – which was something that she would never really do. She came inside easily and there was no fuss.
I connected with Cara and told her how proud we are and how she should be proud of herself.

Day 4 & 5 – Cara got and abscess on her foot – so she was kept inside. I Did explain to her that she can’t be outside for a few days. She was taken for a ride in the bakkie and went straight into the house when they arrived home.

Day 6 – Cara’s foot was slightly better so she went for a short walk with her mom and had to be kept inside except for bakkie rides.

Day 7 – I received confirmation that Cara isn’t going so far away from home anymore. She was also coming in with no issues.

Day 8 – Cara started following her mom and went into the house without even being asked.

Cara is a good example of the treatment working fast, but some cases take time and parents need to understand that I am not a miracle worker, sometimes things take time and the work is give and take from the parents. Cara’s mom is an excellent example – she wanted to learn how to understand Cara and work with her, she sent me daily updates – which is quite rare (even though I request them from parents). Every day Cara was encouraged by both me and her mom and I had to use gentle persuasion to do more behavioural adjustments.

Throwback Thursday:

As I was holding our dog this morning, crying as the vet helped to release her from this physical world I asked the question that so many pet parents ask during these heartbreaking times - Why don't they stay with us longer? We love them so much and it's not fair.

And that is when one of my guides spoke to me and explained that yes, there are people who wish this BUT we need to remember the majority of animals living in agony, in hunger and cruelty, never knowing the love,kindness and devotion that our beloved ones experience. And therefore not living long means that the ones who suffer don't have to live like that for decades.

It's hardly a comfort to us, but finding a reason is somewhat helpful. I have always said that animals are too good for this world, and I only understand this saying now.

You are free girl, have a blast while you decide if you will return or not. Chat soon.

THROWBACK THURSDAY

I know I'm always saying this, but Working with missing pets is hard - and can be very deflating.

Because people often don't understand how it works, how what we are shown comes through super fast that we often assume that they are together. A communicator brain searches for a logical explanation to what we see. If I see something, my brain will find a logical image - even if it's a substitute and isn't the same thing.

I once saw ugly dirty curtains with geometric shapes, but when I drove to the area I was drawn to, I saw a dirty window with geometric shaped burglar guards - was I wrong? Well, no, because my brain interprets the most likely image. Seeing a French door with little glass blocks can be a window with square burglar guards looked from far away at a higher angle.
And then there are times where you see multiple things at the same time, but they are separate. Pet parents get upset because we are supposed to see things exactly as they are - but this is often difficult.

When I had an angry clients shouting at me once because my reading seemed "inaccurate" because the place they found her didn't have any of the things that I saw. I asked for the address, got in my car and drove to where she was found to look for myself - every single thing that I saw was there - I wasn't wrong, they just weren't together - three houses in a row had each image I saw and the fourth image was at the house where she would've entered that suburb. The images she gave was what she saw along the route taken to get where she was found.

This is why taking photos for positive identification is important- send it to the communicator, take as many as you can because even the most random thing could be what we saw but interpreted incorrectly.

A few days ago I got a request for assistance from two ladies who feed a feral colony. One of their injured ferals had gone missing and they were desperate to find her to get veterinary treatment.

I haven't been well, so only managed to get three things - I wished that I could have gotten more, but unfortunately it was the best I could do.

I saw three things - a roll up fire hose, stairs and a little closet with open doors- this closet was small - it was under the stairs (well, that's what my brain said). This was the reading:

"Have you seen a red fire hose - it's one of those that roll up and mounted on a wall? It's next to a flight of stairs. There might be a little broom closet under the stairs."

I got the unfortunate news that nothing seemed familiar and they couldn't find her. But they went searching and found the place - I finally got the message that she was found in an area with multiple mounted fire hoses. There was another area on a video that was sent that couldn't be accessed but most likely had stairs. And then there was a proof of life photos- the "closet" - not a closet, but how else would my brain interpret a bizarre hole in the wall?

We know where Minkie is, and she is going to get the veterinary care that she needs. Thanks to Kim and Kate for not giving up. She is so fortunate to have you ladies as carers.

I am so thankful that I received this amazing news. Now my brain can interpret a hole in the wall next time (let's hope it's not needed)

Chatting to a beloved animal is not just having a fun conversation, but it can help a person find closure by speaking to their animal that has crossed over.
