Animal Communicators

You have Odie tell you who fed him this morning and where he slept last night and, if you are accurate, I will give you $100.  I extend the same challenge to anyone on the forum.

I will openly admit that I am not an animal communicator, nor do I particularly believe that such a person actually exists, but for the opportunity to make my favorite charity $100 I’ll take a shot.

I get the vibe that Odie was very upset by your actions last week. He mentioned that you & your wife left him last Sunday, & didn’t return until Saturday. He says that, although you were away, he was well taken care of. Odie mentioned that when you returned home you smelled of like aspens, rocky mountain air & a prostitute‘s perfume. (Not sure what that’s all about, but that’s what Odie is telling me.)

Odie told me that you were supposed to feed him this morning, but apparently you were on the phone, & forgot about him. Your wife assumed that you fed him, & left without feeding him as well. He was a bit hungry today, but he was grateful that you remembered to let him out in the yard to, erm relieve himself. (He used another word, but I’m pretty sure that it will be censored.)

Odie is a bit shy about telling me where he slept last night. He started out on his bed in the living room, but once your wife & yourself went to bed, he curled up in your recliner. He really wants you to leave a blanket out, as the nights are getting a little cooler.

If I am correct, please make your donation to the Susan G. Komen *** Cancer Foundation.

Oh yeah, Odie also mentioned that for the past 5 months he has been peeing on the ivy by the fireplace. You might want to take it outside & hose it off. It’ll help with the smell.

FUNNY POST!!!

... in my experience, most wild animals are not as open to communicating with humans. It's purely an individual thing though. Some will, some won't. You really can communicate with ANYTHING- trees and plants talk too. ...

That's funny, it really it is different for different folks. I find wild animals far more communicative than domesticated ones! That's one of the reasons I was drawn to Ixa, she's got a kind of "wild" streak.

As far as communicating with "anything" ... heh, I've spent untold "conversational" hours with rocks and boulders.  

Looking forward to your exercises, Ratsicles!
 

 I just thought that I'd add my own story.  To start with I work for a doggie day care.  We have an animal communicator that comes every other week and several people I know had had readings done by her for their pets.  I have never met this lady ever, and didn't know if I "believed" or not, but considering I was having some issues with my newest dog and our move I figured it wouldn't hurt anything.  I scheduled Sadie to have her reading while we were on vacation and she was staying at work.  When I got back,  I was rather surprised to see some of what the communicator had written.  Of course none of it had anything to do with our move, but it did have alot to do with our life and what I knew of her old life.

She said:

"She kept showing me kids - 'Being one of the kids....' she said she is content where she is now and feels like she is part of the family- (I have 4 dogs, and 3 children, I am always referring to my fur - kids and kids.  She had no family before we took her.  She lived outside for 4 years and was fed daily.  Thats it)

She also kept saying because she is so happy she wants to experience life - there is a lot to do  - very excited (yeah my Sadie is one excited pooch.  She is a wonderful new dog greeter, and takes her job of "babysitting" the new dogs very seriously.  She is also wonderful and getting them all to follow her out the door and down the hill.  She thinks she runs the day care!)

She said she is the 'very best dog'  (something I always say, but who doesn't?)

She also likes her quiet time (under my computer desk is her spot)

She said she likes to do tricks for treats but no one pays attention sometimes - (that would explain why I somtimes see her pawing the air huh?)

She likes to smell the wind too!

 She also kept talking about BBQ's????  she was the only one allowed out???? (this is the one that floored me.  When we moved we had a cookout 4 days later.  It was Sadies first cook out and she was in her absolute glory.  She is also the only dog that was allowed out of the bedroom, because she is the only one I trusted not to go exploring and our yard wasn't fenced yet.)

She just wants everyone to love her -"

Anyway, that was my experience.  I think the comment that "got" me the most was the BBQ comment.

 I know, I was posting in another thread, explaining that my dogs love chicken  b r e a s t ......and there is the trick.....lol

I don't for a minute doubt that a lot of "life" lies beyond what we generally experience on a day-to-day basis. However, as I am scientist, I have a hard time believing in human abilities that are unable to be proven. That's one of the fundamental aspects of science - you cannot accept something as "true" if there is no possible way to prove that it's "false" (i.e. explaining away any times it might not work), and it's really darn hard to prove that what a dog is "saying" to someone isn't true. Now just because we haven't been able to prove something yet doesn't mean it can't be done, but if there were animal psychics who could communicate even with unfamiliar animals and even at great distances, why wouldn't at least one of them assist in some sort of scientific study of the phenomenon or, even more harmlessly, a chronicling of the abilities? Not to mention I'm sure at least one person would enjoy the $1 million the James Randi foundation is offering to anyone who can provide proof of psychic/paranormal/"special" phenomena. Not that I think every person who has some sort of special connection with their pets should run out and call their local universities to schedule an appointment or anything like that, but it's hard for me to accept the "field" when it seems like no one is willing (or able?) to study their gifts in a scientific setting.

Of course, another fundamental aspect of science is keeping an open mind even to the seemingly impossible :) But I don't think it's unreasonable to want some sort of "proof" before putting a lot of faith in the idea. For example, numerous studies have shown that we human beings will often think we're in control of something (like movement of a cursor on a computer) when we're actually not, or think we're not in control when we actually we are (like people believing a table is "floating" during a trance). There are many ways to experience a phenomenon without it actually occurring, if that makes sense? It's difficult for me to believe, without proof, that that's not what's happening with psychic communication. But I'd like to be proven wrong :)

Absolutely true! Closing the mind to possibilities is just the other side of the coin from being gullible and believing anything and everything. An open mind is the ideal.

It's not unreasonable. It's very reasonable. And no one is asking that anyone else put faith in the idea. I really don't have any interest in others believing. It's not like the people who have had experience are saying, "Come on! Please believe in it." If you (generic you) don't believe in it, that's cool. Nobody's trying to convince anyone of anything. 

I guess, from my perspective, it's good to want proof. But most people who have experience with it have their proof and their proof isn't going to be proof to someone else. Does that make sense?

me too.... usually in either the behavior or nutrition sections. though occassionally in advocacy too.

Ahhh, the Pet Rock craze of the 70's still lives.

 Although I am generally an open minded person when it comes to stuff like this, I *really* have a hard time buying the whole "animal communicator" thing, especially with an animal that is not actually in someone's presence.  I really, really don't buy the ones that are trying to charge for their services.  Do I think that some people are more in tune to body language, etc of animals-sure, but I do not think that it is necessarily psychic. 

I'm also not sure that animals communicate with each other psychically.  Just we cannot see how two animals are communicating does not mean that it is somehow mystical.  We are only humans and miss a LOT.  I've had experience with horses longer than I have dogs, and I can tell you that very, very, very subtle moves that humans generally overlook mean generally mean something.  I also think that animals do get info from the "energy" that others are putting out, and that that ends up playing into communication.

There is so much we do not know about how animals perceive things (how do animals know when an earthquake is about to hit?  why were there no dead animals found when the tsunami in southeast Asia hit?) I just have trouble just jumping to psychic ability as the answer.  I think it's just much more likely that they just have senses that we either never had, or lost use of long ago.

roflmao!!!!!!  Good one Bradley! 

 I would like for someone to tell me how to ask about the past. Most of what I get are "now" emotions. I thought it was because dogs are "now" animals. It's a very doggy level I communicate on:)

Somebody email me, or something. Callie? Brittany?  I'd love a lesson on listening a little better.

I'm pretty curious about the exercises....

This challenge isn't about faith.  Faith, by definition, is not something that can be proven scientifically. 

"faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen ..." (Hebrews 11)

Just an interesting juxtaposition on words from a rather old source.
