Can you ever let your animals know

Janet I also am very tempted because I think it would help with bonding the boys. I just can't spend that money on it when there is other things it can be spent on.

I feel the same way, Ali. But I just know that Ellie is meant to be part of my heart. I knew it from the very first time I held her. I just don't know what to do to keep her here because Callie is so naughty to her. I hate the thought of unbonding Callie to bond Ellie to Patrick and Zappa. It just wouldn't be fair to Callie....

It would just be nice to have someone say that they will bond if.... Just knowing their terms would help me so much. I would be filling out adoption papers asap because Ellie is just that special to me.

Thanks for posting, Amy.

I am glad you guys liked reading it. I will post the rest of my animals when I get them done. You can tell by reading my session that there was very little time spent with Little Bunny, however she has let me pet her without grunt or running since the session. I am not sure what the Little Bunny got out of the session since the session was suppose to be for Chase. May be just Arlene telling her I love her or may be it has nothing to do with the session. But I found it really strange how much she has let me pet her since then.

To the people who are thinking of getting it done, I totally would. It helps put your mind at ease. I feel so much better knowing these things and can't wait to find out more. It is nice to know Chase enjoys living by herself and doesn't want to live with the Little Bunny. Since they lived together for 4 years, I was sure they missed the companionship and I felt guilty about it. But not anymore.

Arlene and I really haven't been able to do our session yet since she is a bit busy with her new foster ratties that she has for the summer, but we have done a bit of talking. She has been balancing Jenson's energy (calming him) and I can really tell...the difference is amazing.

I have gotten bits and pieces and I can now understand why Jenson is the way he is. The good thing is, is that he does know that I am here to help him. He says he has trust issues with women, but he really loves Ryan....so Ryan said he'd start spending more time with him. I'm hoping that when the session is done and I have had Arlene ask Jenson some of the questions I'd like to know the answer to...then hopefully Jents will start calming down and start trusting women more.

I'm trying to get a group of us local rabbit lovers together to take the bunnies to a park so I can get Jenson socialized a bit more with other rabbit lovers....so hopefully that happens soon!

We tried to do the session a bit ago, but Arlene said Jenson was having trouble due to his throat not being open enough (or something like that...forgot how she explained it). So, I think maybe his energy was "off" in his throat due to him running out of water today and drinking a ton of water when I refilled his dish when I got home? So maybe his throat was sore?

Arlene sounds amazing! I'm a bit of a skeptic but she sounds like the real deal, honestly. It sounds like there are some things she knows that in no way a 'fake' could even stumble upon or guess. I found her website and bookmarked it for when I have some extra cash.

When I first used her - I really wanted to prove her wrong. I made some questions sorta tricky (I forget now what they were).

The things that amazed me where the color of Tiny's ball that he loved (I'd forgotten about it till she mentioned it - then I found a picture of him with it the next day) - the fact that Puck's blanket was fleecey blue when Art held him for hours and convinced him to stay with us and Puck's comment about how "he loved it no matter which way daddy petted him." That made no sense to me until Amy reminded me how Art used to pet him both directions and we'd be like, "You shouldn't pet a rabbit like that.." and he was like "Puck likes it that way".

These things and other things that I'd never shared on the forum or had forgotten about - were the things that convinced me.

Then when she described Zeus' prior home - it sounded exactly like I remembered reading - so I went back through the old emails and it was the same description.

So yeah...I believe now.

Thanks for posting the conversation between you both..that was quite interesting..

I wanted to post Little Bunny's session. It didn't go as well as Chase's but I expected that. Little Bunny is more distant, she will only do what she wants to do.

maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 5:45:36 PM): it is reaffirming
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 5:45:48 PM): hold on a min

maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 5:47:01 PM): back
Amy S (05/07/2010 5:47:08 PM): okay
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 5:47:27 PM): my daughter wanted me to see the clothing she had sewed for a reenactment she is going to tomorrow
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 5:47:32 PM): sewn
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 5:47:35 PM): ugh!
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 5:47:41 PM): my brain is scrambled
Amy S (05/07/2010 5:47:42 PM): oh that is awesome!
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 5:47:55 PM): this particular one is Middle Ages stuff
Amy S (05/07/2010 5:48:09 PM): Wow how cool!
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 5:48:09 PM): she's done ren faire stuff and civil war too
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 5:48:22 PM): she doesn't get her sewing skills from me.
Amy S (05/07/2010 5:48:26 PM): That is awesome. I have never done anything like that.
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 5:48:38 PM): i do well to sew a straight hem with a sewing maching
Amy S (05/07/2010 5:48:41 PM): lol I can't sew either.
Amy S (05/07/2010 5:48:54 PM): I can't even do that! lol
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 5:49:00 PM): anyway, that's way off the subject
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 5:49:17 PM): i dont have the questions in front of me
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 5:49:21 PM): they are in my gmail
Amy S (05/07/2010 5:49:22 PM): That is okay. Very interesting to learn more about you. You sound like such a cool person.
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 5:49:41 PM): cool? hum...i don't know
Amy S (05/07/2010 5:50:05 PM): That is okay. I also wanted to talk to Little Bunny about how she is feeling. She is sick too. I really want to touch on her going to the vet. She gets so upset she makes herself sick. There have been times the vet has had to medicate her just so I can get her home.
Amy S (05/07/2010 5:50:10 PM): I am not sure what she is so afraid of.
Amy S (05/07/2010 5:50:40 PM): You have had a lot of experiences in life. I enjoy our conversations. To my boring desk job lol you are cool!
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 5:50:51 PM): what about pre-meds?
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 5:51:05 PM): i had a boring desk job for years
Amy S (05/07/2010 5:51:18 PM): We tried that but since it is a stress issue, none of the pre meds have seemed to help. They have tried giving her meds for car sickness.
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 5:51:55 PM): what about some Rescue Remedy?
Amy S (05/07/2010 5:52:05 PM): I am not sure if it is the car or the vet. She seems to calm down at the vets, but as soon as I put her in the car, she goes crazy.
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 5:52:09 PM): have you used it?
Amy S (05/07/2010 5:52:26 PM): I have actually heard that it wasn't good for rabbits. Then I just read recently that it is and it works so I will have to try it.
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 5:52:43 PM): hum i don't know why it would be
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 5:53:00 PM): i've used it with all my animals
Amy S (05/07/2010 5:53:07 PM): From the recent information I read, I think it was just someone stating that and didn't really have the facts straight.
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 5:53:39 PM): one of my best friends is an expert n flower essences
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 5:53:54 PM): she makes her own and has studied how to use them to heal
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 5:54:06 PM): i'ts way over my head, but she's very good at it
Amy S (05/07/2010 5:54:14 PM): That is awesome!
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 5:54:23 PM): i trust her with my life so if she says it's ok then it is
Amy S (05/07/2010 5:54:38 PM): lol
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 5:54:47 PM): Little Bunny is here btw
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 5:54:52 PM): she's listening
Amy S (05/07/2010 5:54:57 PM): Ahhhh I get so excited to hear that.
Amy S (05/07/2010 5:55:01 PM): How is she feeling?
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 5:55:16 PM): she keeps talking about change, not wanting or liking change
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 5:55:37 PM): i happened to be thinking about what bothered her about going to the vet
Amy S (05/07/2010 5:55:52 PM): Is she fearful when I take her out of the house?
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 5:56:17 PM): now she's telling me she doesn't like to go because the vet always finds something wrong and you get upset
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 5:56:29 PM): she does not like leaving the house
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 5:56:46 PM): this is strange but do you take her by herself when you go ?
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 5:56:52 PM): or take someone else for company
Amy S (05/07/2010 5:57:11 PM): Can you let her know that she is a little sick. But the medicine is going to make her all better. She is going to have to go to the vet more for a little while. She is going next week. But she has to trust me.
Amy S (05/07/2010 5:57:15 PM): I go by myself.
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 5:57:22 PM): i know from my experience that animals like company
Amy S (05/07/2010 5:57:25 PM): The vet has weird hours and I can never find someone to go with me.
Amy S (05/07/2010 5:57:37 PM): She does go with Chase though. They almost always go together.
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 5:57:44 PM): i had ne rat boy who was so nervous when i took him alone that it was pitiful
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 5:58:00 PM): but when i took his brothers with him, he was fine
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 5:58:16 PM): but in her case, i dont knwo why she would want that
Amy S (05/07/2010 5:58:24 PM): I don't know if LB knows Chase is there. They are in separate cages.
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 5:58:35 PM): there?
Amy S (05/07/2010 5:58:41 PM): at the vets. Sorry lol
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 5:58:51 PM): you take her as well?
Amy S (05/07/2010 5:58:56 PM): Chase always goes when LB goes since chase goes so often.
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 5:59:04 PM): ok
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 5:59:29 PM): she was telling me about having company so i assumed she meant she wanted it
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 5:59:48 PM): her answers are a bit convoluded sometimes
Amy S (05/07/2010 5:59:58 PM): lol that doesn't surprise me lol
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:00:08 PM): like she's saying well, you are the human, you should be able to figure it out!
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:00:14 PM): she's a sassy little thing
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:00:25 PM): lol Oh that sounds like her attitude for sure. She is a fiesty little thing!
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:00:34 PM): now she's telling me that if she didn't like me she wouldn't talk to me at all
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:00:41 PM): She has boxed me and grunts at me all the time. lol
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:01:08 PM): That is why I was surprised she was jeolous of Chase because she is so angry around me and seems so scared of me.
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:01:27 PM): she was stomping her foot when she told me that
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:01:46 PM): lol I think she has a strange way of showing people she likes them lol
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:01:53 PM): what she does and what she feels may not be the same
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:02:08 PM): That could be. May be I need to think about that when she acts out.
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:02:11 PM): she has trouble admitting it
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:02:26 PM): she likes to be n control
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:02:30 PM): Does she know that I love her? That she is just as important to me as Chase?
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:02:37 PM): Oh she loves to be in control lol
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:02:44 PM): oh ye! she knows
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:02:50 PM): i chastized her for giving you a hard time
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:02:50 PM): Good!
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:02:58 PM): She gives me a hard time a lot lol
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:03:08 PM): she gave me a 'humpft!'
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:03:13 PM): lol
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:03:23 PM): Could you tell her to stop chasing the darn cat!!!
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:03:31 PM): i told her i didn't care what she did i liked her anyway
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:03:41 PM): she's still doing that?
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:03:43 PM): ugh
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:03:53 PM): dumb cat
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:03:57 PM): Ahhh I have to say though she is so good with me when I give her meds. She doesn't try to bite or box me.
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:03:59 PM): that's her reply
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:04:14 PM): didn't we ask her to be good about that?
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:04:16 PM): yes she is still doing it. The cat is a scared cat and one day will attack her I am sure.
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:04:26 PM): No, it was in my email though as one of my questions.
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:04:35 PM): ah ok
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:04:58 PM): i'm pretty sure she and i discussed it.
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:05:09 PM): i remember telling her that it was the least she could do for you
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:05:24 PM): she must have thought about it
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:05:31 PM): I know she thinks it is fun. I can tell it is a game to her. But it really bothers the cat lol
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:05:41 PM): The cat is afraid of her. lol
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:05:42 PM): yes it does
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:05:49 PM): i dont blame him
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:05:56 PM): is he a tabby?
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:06:11 PM): No, all white lol I have a house full of white animals lol
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:06:27 PM): But you are right the cat is a he.
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:06:27 PM): hum i wonder who this tabby cat is
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:06:35 PM): oh well maybe he just wandered in
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:06:39 PM): randomly
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:06:54 PM): Could be or one LB had seen before she came to live with me.
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:07:01 PM): everything i say can't be right or meaningful
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:07:16 PM): No lol and LB is going to be real hard with that and her attitude
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:07:24 PM): she is showing me what looks like a barn
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:07:31 PM): cats in the rafters
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:07:40 PM): She did come from a pet store which means she was probably from a beeder.
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:08:02 PM): LB enjoys throwing random things in the conversation too
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:08:05 PM): lol No rafters where she lives now with me...I bet it is from her previous home.
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:08:08 PM): she thinks it's funny
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:08:17 PM): lol I am sure she does. That sounds like her.
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:08:25 PM): i think she is 'testing' me
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:08:30 PM): lol I think so too.
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:08:47 PM): Can you tell her she has to go to the vet next week and not to be scared? That everything will be okay?
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:08:49 PM): i can here her giggling
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:09:00 PM): lol I can imagine her giggle as an evil laugh lol
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:09:00 PM): i will tell her
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:09:05 PM): mwahaha
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:09:07 PM): no
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:09:10 PM): just kidding
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:09:14 PM): lol
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:09:22 PM): it's more like a deep he he he
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:09:28 PM): lol that is cute!
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:09:34 PM): mischevious i'd say
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:09:51 PM): i tried to ask her about Chase
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:10:01 PM): after i got the pic of them together
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:10:08 PM): she just won't talk with me about that
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:10:17 PM): 'but you were so close," i said
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:10:21 PM): what happened?
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:10:25 PM): no
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:10:27 PM): no?
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:10:36 PM): no dont want to talk about it now
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:10:39 PM): later?
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:10:42 PM): maybe
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:10:53 PM): i'm stuck when an animal does that
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:11:02 PM): i do not believe in pressing them
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:11:06 PM): it's a matter of respect
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:11:14 PM): She was Chase's slave. Chase took all the cuddles and licks and never gave any back to LB. I always felt bad for her.
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:11:21 PM): if you don't have mutual respect it is all for naught
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:11:30 PM): I don't want LB to talk about anything she doesn't want to so I am okay with that.
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:11:41 PM): something hurt her though
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:11:44 PM): emotionally
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:11:54 PM): i can 'feel' her heart hurting
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:12:05 PM): she knows i can too
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:12:08 PM): she's figuring me out
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:12:17 PM): heaven help me! LOL
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:12:24 PM): When they split up, it was because Chase had surgery. I could tell both of them grieved missing the other animal. I think they were both very hurt. They didn't understand why the other left them.
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:12:38 PM): And then Chase smelled funny when I did let them get close.
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:12:39 PM): i suspect you are right
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:12:50 PM): yes i've had that problem as well
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:13:08 PM): it oculd ahve been something said between them
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:13:14 PM): I think they both hold a grudge against the other for leaving them.
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:13:28 PM): i was wondering that too
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:13:43 PM): if she will let me, i will try and explore that with her
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:13:48 PM): but not till she is ready
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:13:53 PM): It could be..I remember LB trying to figure out Chase's stitches and Chase got mad. It had to be strange for them both. LB also is the one that got moved to a new cage area and she was not happy about that either.
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:14:10 PM): she LB?
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:14:18 PM): Yes.
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:14:33 PM): Because Chase was sick, I couldn't put her through mroe stress and more her so I moved LB.
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:14:34 PM): why did I have to be the one to move?
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:15:11 PM): that humpft! again
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:15:34 PM): Chase was very very sick at the time. Chase was going to the vet every week. She need the room so she felt safe when she was home. LB was my strong one. I knew LB would be strong and I didn't know if Chase could at that point in time. I didn't know if Chase could handle the move.
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:16:04 PM): I hope she knows or can you tell her I did it because she was my strong one?
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:16:12 PM): she's listening but not ready to accept it
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:16:12 PM): I think that will make her feel better lol
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:16:26 PM): but she did 'hear' you
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:16:35 PM): Oh lol I guess I am still figuring this out lol
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:16:45 PM): so am i
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:16:48 PM): lol
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:17:16 PM): Does she like her new room? I put lots of nice things and toys in it to try and make it easier for her.
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:17:21 PM): gosh i just can't understand what she's telling me
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:17:25 PM): green?
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:17:39 PM): lol Hay or veggies...could be lol
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:18:13 PM): like i said, LB throws out things sometimes just to see if we get it
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:18:29 PM): lol She is a big hay eater and loves her cilantro.
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:18:38 PM): i can't remember any of my communications where one did that so blatantly
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:18:57 PM): lol for some reason, that doesn't surprise me. I have never met an animal like LB.
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:19:08 PM): she's saying the cat is useless
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:19:18 PM): lol she is right....but I love the cat lol
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:19:36 PM): she sighed and said i know she does and i can't figure out why
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:19:47 PM): lol I wonder if she is referring to the mouse the cat was playing with that scared the crap out of LB!!!
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:20:07 PM): the mouse scared LB?
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:20:29 PM): This was just a month or so ago and LB was thumping when I got home for hours and I couldn't figure out what was wrong with her. A few hours later I saw it.....a black little mouse in my house. LB hated that mouse lol
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:20:32 PM): a real mouse?
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:20:40 PM): Yeah a real mouse.
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:20:57 PM): and she thought it was the cat's job to keep them out
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:21:15 PM): lol that is what I am thinking. Except the cat played with it lol
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:21:18 PM): so she thinks the cat is useless cause he is not doing his job
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:21:22 PM): Yep lol
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:21:58 PM): I have 2 cats and one is blind and LB leaves that cat alone. I wonder if she knows that something is wrong with that cat because she just gives my other cat a hard time.
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:22:16 PM): yes she knows the cat isn't 'right'
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:22:29 PM): missing something
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:22:37 PM): I thought she must have since she leaves him alone and gives the other cat such a hard time lol
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:23:03 PM): i can't tell if she knows he's blind but she's being kind to him because he needs her to
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:23:16 PM): He really does. He has had a VERY hard life.
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:23:26 PM): she senses a helplesness about him so she is not mad for him not doing his job
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:23:37 PM): That is good. He is a little helpless lol
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:23:38 PM): 'his job is to love Mommy
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:23:54 PM): Ahh it is and he does a good job!
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:24:09 PM): Is there anything LB wants me to know? Anything I can do better?
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:24:17 PM): so she sees him as living up to her expectations and the other cat is not
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:24:39 PM): The other cat is a huge baby for some reason. She is afraid of everything!
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:24:49 PM): im having trouble with her now. she's getting tired of talking
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:25:01 PM): i probably shouldn't push her
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:25:01 PM): lol she is so not a people person lol
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:25:15 PM): perhaps that way she will tell me later
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:25:18 PM): or people bunny lol
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:25:33 PM): i always tell my animals that they are free to 'consult' with me whenever they need to
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:25:44 PM): That is sweet. Thank you.
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:25:46 PM): and there are some who have on a regular basis
Amy S (05/07/2010 6:26:01 PM): Has Chase tried to connect with you at all since her session?
maripoza4685 (05/07/2010 6:26:02 PM): the thing is i have to have my 'listening' o

Amy S (05/07/2010 6:27:11 PM): Okay. Have a good night. And thanks for talking to LB!

Amy S (05/07/2010 6:27:53 PM): You will be able to visit them right?

I never actually read the last conversation but maybe after sending pictures do you think this person can trace you guys to your accounts here and gaining all the information she can??

Nope....Arlene has known things only some of us humans and the pet would know....like little details that none of us have ever shared with anyone.

This isn't specifically for you, but more for everyone....
You can believe or not, but unless you have tried it for yourself then you really would never know...and trust me, once you have tried it, its pretty clear that its not a scam .

No - I don't believe she does that.

For one thing - I was just "chatting" with her one time - and mentioned that my mom's cat was dying and mom was taking it hard and not willing to have him put down. I didn't describe the cat at all - just that his name was "Petey" and that my mom is in Maine.

We continued to chat for a minute and she said, "Is your mom's cat orange and ..." and she described him to a "t". I said "yes". She said, "he has diabetes?" - which I had NOT told her. I said, "yes".

She then said, "I see another cat watching over him - waiting for him to cross the bridge. Did he have a playmate?" and I said, "No".

Then she said, "I can't get over this other cat - he's reaching down to comfort your mom's cat...." and she started to describe him to me. She also said, "He has strong emotions about your mom..."

and I was like "That was mom's cat for 18 years and when he died - mom got Petey..."

She had no way of knowing any of that stuff - I hadn't shared pictures on here or talked to her about mom's cats before. It just happened to come up in a conversation.

I know many are doubters - and that is fine. I was a doubter - I wanted to prove her wrong - but I am convinced that animals can communicate (and try to communicate) with humans.

She also mentioned a toy i had here that no one knew about that I was letting Pegs bunny use.

I had forgotten about that - I don't remember whether or not I knew about the toy at the time - or specifics about the toy.

Nope you asked if there was some kind of toy.

 

[NorthernAutumn]

Wow... this has been an amazing read:in tears:

Thank you so much for sharing these stories... I am so envious! Amy, have you noticed any change in your bunners since their talks with Arlene?

 

[Amy27]

Autumn, I have seen some changes. However, I don't think they are all due to changes in the rabbit. I think I have changed some also as I feel I understand my rabbit better.

For example, I realized Little Bunny needs and wants attention. She just wants it in her own way. I have spent more time sitting and talking to her. I think she has been more comfortable around me. I think that is due to Arlene talking to her and me making more of an effort. I think we both understand each other better.

As you can see in my conversation, I asked Arlene several times to tell Little Bunny about the trip to the vets and to explain to her why she had to go. Usually when I take Little Bunny to the vet, she looks so sick I want to pull over the car and I am afraid she isn't going to make it. However, when I took her on Friday she didn't look as sick. She still was very scared, even the vet commented on how scared she looked. But on the trip to and from the vet, there was never a time I looked at her and wondered if I should pull over or if she was going to make it.

With Chase, Arlene asked her to be more vocal and to tell me what she wants. Around the same time Chase talked with Arlene, she has started grunting like a pig at her baby gate when I let her out in the mornings. I think the grunts are adorable. But I think Chase is trying to communicate to me that she hates that darn gate. She pushes the gate with her mouth when I unlock it and grunts and helps me move it out of the way so she can get out.

However, there are things I was hoping that would change that haven't. In the conversation with Chase, I really tried to push her to drink water and explain why it was important. However, Chase is still not drinking any water.

Oh, also you will see I asked Arlene to tell Little Bunny to stop chasing the cat. It hasn't happened since Arlene told her that. I hope it continues because it was making me fearful of leaving the two out alone as my cat was getting really scared by Little Bunny chasing her. The cat use to hide from Little Bunny a lot and the cat has even been coming around more when Little Bunny is out. So, I am really crossing my fingers that it stays this way.

Chase and Little Bunny both have very different attitudes. I think Arlene was 100% accurate on both of their attitudes, even though they are so different.

With some of the things Arlene suggested with Chase. I tried the ice cubes and Chase will lick them like twice and then is over it. I was afraid to try the floating veggies in water because I was afraid she would drowned herself trying to get them out. lol. I don't know if that is true but getting her nose in water worries me.

I use Arlene Thompson

Her email is:

[email protected]

Let her know you heard about her from me - I don't get anything from it - it just helps her know how people hear about her.

Just sent an email with questions and a picture and payment off earlier today to Arlene as I had a situation with Weatherly that concerned me regarding my training of her and wanted to make sure she was OK... will post on this as I learn about what we have going on.

Today the farrier was out - Weatherly was antsyduring her turn and then hung around to poke at the farrier and then got in my face and played with my hair, then she yawned in my face and was her usual cute self.

I try to speak horse as I can but the weekend had me baffled and overwhelmed that I was not connecting so it was time to call in someone with more experience.

I believe!

Denise

 

[Amy27]

Denise, good luck talking with Arlene. I hope you are able to get the information you are looking for.

 

[NorthernAutumn]

Those are some really interesting changes that you have observed, Amy... do you think that you would try again in the future, as the girls' health improves.. was thinking that they may be a bit more open to it(?)

I'm very curious to hear what happens with Weatherly, Denise

 

[DeniseJP]

Just opened my Yahoo Messenger account and will post as I hear from Arlene. Arlene said some animals do not want to talk but I told her Weatherly likes to talk - whether she squeals verbally or talks to me internally... I get feelings from her about a bit in her mouth and how she hates it... about when she has been ill or injured... or when last year's shots made her sore and this year she wanted nothing to do with them... (much to my veterinarian's doubt but I know I have a smart horse!) but this past weekend she shut down to me and I wanted to make sure the camping experience was OK and what we need to do to make socializing with the others OK on unfamiliar ground as it is part of my bonding with her and growing with her so that we both are safe and healthy.

I believe in animal communication...it might be why more animals gravitate to me rather than people... my grandfather always said I had "a gift" but I am at a "stuck" point now so it is time to call in a third party.
