My youngest fur child, Chevelle, has packed a lot of experiences into her one year and five months of living. She was in the pound – got adopted out – then went into doggy foster care when the adoption didn’t work. Two months ago we adopted her and she joined the other furred and feathered members of our family.
A couple of weeks ago I needed to take Chevelle to the Vets. This was the first time that I had taken her out on her own since she came to live with us. I opened the car door and expected her to jump straight in. To my surprise she started to back away from the car. Initially I thought that she didn’t understand what I wanted her to do. So I nudged her towards the car door. She backed away with more gusto. Ok. We had a problem. I took a breath to help me focus. Then I used my animal communication skills to help me understand what was going on for my little girl. When I tuned into her, I found that she was upset and scared that I was going to take her somewhere and dump her. She wanted to stay with here with us, where she was just starting to settle in and feel comfortable. I realised then that I had been so distracted that I hadn’t told her where we were going and why. So explained to her that we were going to see the Vet to get some paperwork sorted out. I also told her that I would be with her the entire time and that she would not be left alone. Then I went on to talk about the things that we would be doing when we came home again. Since it was late in the afternoon, as soon as we got home, we would need to start the round of evening feeds. All of this calmed her down and she got into the car without protest. When we got to the Vet’s she behaved beautifully and did a lovely demonstration of drop and stay. Then she charmed the Vet out of not one, but three treats.
Whilst I could probably have forced her into the car, this would not have solved anything or addressed the issue of what was going on for Chevelle. Gaining Chevelle’s full trust is a work in progress. She is learning to trust us, but since she has been in so many homes in her short life, it is taking time, patience and love to help her through her moments of worry and panic.
Animal Communication is a useful tool to have at your disposal. It helped me to determine what was going on for Chevelle. It also helps me to build a better relationship with her. By listening to her and acknowledging what is going on for her, I am able to build the trust and the joyful family that I desire. I work with people and their fur kids to help them to build the family of their dreams – instead of their nightmares.
