Animal Communication with Cuddles

Welcome to our first animal communication column for OMTimes magazine. I will be providing consultations which will be featured monthly. A reading is a telepathic conversation between the communicator and the animal, providing illumination to strengthen to solve problems, best serve our furry and feathered companions, and strengthen the human-animal bond.

Cuddles and Judi Reach Out for a Reading

Judi got in touch, asking for insight with her dog, Cuddles.

From Judi: I could use some advice with Cuddles. I adopted her in 2013 and we take her everywhere we can so she will be more social and not afraid of other people or dogs. Cuddles has done well with that. The issue is I see clients in my home, and she is very protective. Even if Cuddles has seen them several times before–barking, jumping and threatening stances whenever they stand up, walk in, or walk out. If they are sitting, she calms down. Any ideas?

When I read Cuddles, she immediately shows me two important things. The first is a small white dog, a poodle or Bichon Frise-type, with whom she was very close. Then she shows me a human baby being picked up by its mother. In both cases, she felt left out.

Cuddles may have been in a home with two dogs and was very close to the other dog, who was the preferred pet. Being given up for adoption meant being separated from her friend, so there were two crushing issues with that one action, loss of friendship and knowledge that she was not wanted.

This could be from this lifetime or a holdover of memory from a previous lifetime.

Cuddles: Protective and Sensitive

I believe Cuddles also felt very protective of the baby, even though the other dog was more prominent. And, as such, she has carried that level of protectiveness into her relationship with you. She is so grateful to be loved and wanted that she feels she needs to be your guardian, which means being a barrier between you and your clients or anyone who comes into your home.

Cuddles is a very sensitive girl, who not only thinks about the dog she left behind but dreams about her.

She also shows me she would benefit from a basic obedience group class and even Canine Good Citizen training and certification. Here, the two of you would work as a team, creating a new level of bonding. It occurs in a social situation where Cuddles would learn to be responsive, but not territorial and overly protective.

I have shown Cuddles what it means to stand and walk alongside you without having to act as a ‘barking barrier’ to others. She seems to understand. She shows me a very full heart; she absolutely loves you. Reward her for love more than for protection.

She also says she wants to howl. Do you find her howling? Crazy as it sounds, you might want to howl a few times and let Cuddles chime in. Perhaps an annoyance to your neighbors, but a delight for her!

She has an interest in caterpillars, by the way, so be careful. Her greatest joy is when you come home. She hears the lock turn and it’s party time!

Judi’s Response to Cuddles’ Insightful Reading

Judi’s response: Thank you, Lisa! This is great information. It does make a lot of sense. Cuddles was at the shelter for a year and was so withdrawn and sad when I first met her. It takes her a while to trust. She also tries to talk/howl – funny you should mention this! I do this with her all the time, and my roommate thinks I am quite crazy, ha! And she does love it when I return home. I will also check into signing up for a class today. I so appreciate your insight on this! We will be working on it!

If you would like a reading for your animal companion, please send a photo and a brief description of the issue you would like me to explore. Thanks!
