I got an email from a woman who said she’d been skeptical about how all this works, but was becoming convinced of the accuracy when working with living animals. She could not understand, however, how one could prove an intuitive connection with an animal that had died. Great question! I believe that intuitive communication is connecting with the spirit of an animal. I also believe that you can contact the spirit whether the animal is alive or dead. This goes for people too, I regularly connect with the spirit of people who have died, and lots, maybe most of us do. I also connect with the spirit of trees and places that have been destroyed…. their spirits still live on. So that is the theorectical basis for being able to connect with an animal who has died, but that really proves nothing. To prove you have contacted that animal you can do the same thing you would do with a living animal: ask verifiable questions. Here are some that I ask:
- What did you love about that life?
- Tell me about your personality, what is unusual about you?
- What did you do with your person?
- How was your death, what happened?
- What do you want me to tell your person?
When you get verifiable data from the spirit of the animal, it is convincing to you and the animal’s person that you are really connecting with that animal. What are some other questions one might ask of a an animal that has passed to get verfiable information?
Lots of Great Stories
Check the comments from the last blog: People sent in great stories about how animal communication really works. Speaking of stories I am beginning work on a new book and looking for stories to include. It is with a Dutch publisher so it will be in Dutch first then later in other languages including English. Specifically I’m looking for stories about how your animal mirrored you in some way, and acted as a teacher (whether negative or positive) and catalyst in your life. If your story is selected we will need a photo and also have you sign a release. Send stories to my email at

Funny Cat Video
 This video shows a cat drinking from a faucet of running water and the caption says cat fails at drinking frm faucet. I don’t think so at all. This is just one of those rare wonderful cats who loves water! Have you ever had one of those? My water loving cat used to come in the bath tub, sit on my stomach, and splash in the water. Dear Marmalade… I will never forget him. He also used to jump from the ground right up to your neck,  put his arms around your neck, and give you a kiss.  He was big and looked a bit like an orange cougar. One in a million.

Practice with Norman
Want some more practice? I’ve had Norman about three months now and have discovered some new things about his personality and habits.
Â

Ask Norman to describe personality and any new aspects that he’s exhibited lately. Also ask him to tell you anything he can about how he likes to show affection, how he and my other dog, Bear, play, and what his sleeping habits are. You can also ask him what is new in our lives this month.. I will tell you next blog what I know and have observed,  so you can check what you get.
