Mike's Doghouse

As I have mentioned before, I used the services of an animal communicator to talk with Joella before I started to seriously look at which pup to get. I adore Patty Summers and have used her several times over the past 12 yrs or so. This past weekend (March 21-22) I had the chance to attend a workshop at her place.

I wrote extensively about it over on my blog – “Communication Workshop“. I hope you wander over there and read the article. If you are not completely into the woo-woo stuff, here is the bit that involves Mike and Joella:

In the afternoon, we’d used a piece of paper to write down a question for our animal. So I asked Joella what did she think of Mike. One of the women who picked up Jo’s photograph said “She wants him to go back where he came from.” I was very surprised and shocked and sincerely hoped this was not what Joella really wanted. The other person said “She tolerates him.” Patty, who knows Joella well had also asked her this and she clarified for us what Joella meant. It seems that Joella saw him as an annoying pet that she does indeed tolerate. But she also loves him dearly. Patty also said that the message of sending him back was most likely linked to what was going on at that time. Later I discussed this with Lorna and Sunday had seemed to be Mike’s “pick on Joella” day. At one point, Jo had enough and held him down with one paw while growling and cleaning his entire face. He left her alone after that.

I also put Mike’s picture on the table with the question of “Do you have anything to ask (or say to) me?” Again, the response was surprising. Dave, the only man there (who is also very good at communicating with animals) said Mike wants to know if he is there to stay or is he going to be sent away. That was a big surprise. I think it is connected to the near-constant frustration over his house training. Could also be connected to Jo saying she wanted him go back where he came from. The other person that connected with Mike said he loves the car rides but wants to put his head out the window. He wants to feel the wind on his face and have his ears blown. That was a funny one to all of us. Mike is scrawny enough that we don’t let the window down much, afraid the twerp would jump out. He now has seat belt so I can let the window down lower without him bailing. Patty also connected with Mike. His message through her is quite profound, seeing as how it comes from such a brat. “I really love you. I’m here because you want a reminder or reason to laugh. You get the importance of not taking life too seriously.”
