nonprofit organization that will use horses and miniature donkeys to empower people to find their strengths and create a wonderful life .

Not every animal has advice for their guardians after they have passed . However , clients report that when they receive insights like Clara ’ s , they find it right on and useful .

I met Renee ’ s rescue dog Cynder when she was twelve . She demonstrated aggression issues through the backyard fence toward other dogs and some people . Renee worried that these issues might escalate and Cynder might bite someone . Despite working with a trainer , the aggression hadn ’ t abated .

When I connected to Cynder , I had to laugh in spite of myself . I had assumed the aggression was territorial , alpha dog stuff . While my hunch was close , she also confessed that she just liked scaring people and other dogs . She got a kick out of it !

We focused on increasing her empathy , letting her feel the fear that she created in others . We shared how happy Renee would be if Cynder were friendlier and how much more loving attention she ’ d receive if she acted friendly .

Cynder ’ s human and fence aggression have both improved . She ’ s a happy , healthy dog that has adjusted to Renee ’ s home and needs . What I love is that Cynder has deeply bonded with Renee .

But Cynder still has a subversive sense of humor . When I checked in with her a couple months ago , I asked how she was doing .

Cynder replied with a grin , “ Still living the thug life !”

Renee and I had a belly laugh over that . Cynder , Renee shared , still barks aggressively at other dogs , but her behavior is much better than it was . I had a chance to remind Cynder the reasons for being friendlier and kinder to other dogs .

She ’ s thinking about it .

If there ’ s a takeaway from these stories , it ’ s we don ’ t always get what we expect when we communicate with our animals . We do get what we need in order to help them let go of whatever ’ s getting in the way of becoming wonderful family members . If your relationship with your animals is based on love , it ’ s amazing how they are willing to share their stories — and to move in a direction that brings you closer together .

Seeing our pets in a different light opens your heart wider so you can accept this new version of your animal in your heart . Your appreciation for them expands and you find more reasons to find them delightful . Many times , they respond to your energetic shift by becoming more loveable and loving . And that ’ s a beautiful thing !
