Do You Have A Licker?

How many of you have pets that lick you or themselves excessively? I’m not talking the pet’s that lick rugs, walls, grass, etc… That kind of licking usually is a result of digestive issues.

But animals that lick humans, themselves, or other animals, those pets are healers.

They are highly sensitive to energy absorbing, energy healing, and energy clearing.

I have one. He licks me constantly, he licks himself like a cat, he licks his fur siblings, he licks my kids. He even licks guests!

These animals lick more than normal. A lot more than normal. Why?

They are clearing and removing unwanted and heavy, negative, low vibrational energy from their body or from the body of others. Licking is a way for these animals to remove the energy. They are healing us, they are helping us, they are removing it from themselves and others so they don’t become ill.

Normal means of removing it (wind, sun, bushing, flicking, zoomies), are NOT enough because they absorb so much more than most animals. They are also highly sensitive so it feels heavier and more uncomfortable on them than it does on most animals. So they lick it off.

BUT… guess what? These animals often have digestive issues, stomach issues, and diarrhea occurrences. They ingest the energy into their body. They also tend to have skin issues.

Is there any way to help them? Yes. These animals need more flicking (your hand flicking the energy off them gently), more brushing (brush the energy off), more sun, more wind, more fresh air, more running. All of these things help them. But even so, it is often not enough. They’ll still need to do a lot on their own.

These animals truly are special healers sent to us in this world to sacrifice their comfort in order to help others. They know it. They accepted the job. They are honored to do it.

If you share your life with a special healer like this, thank them for their service. And do everything you can every day to help them clear their energy. Allow them to lick (you, them, others). It’s their job, their purpose. Help them clear. Try to manage your energy so they have less “work” to do.

If you have one of these animals you will be SURE. Because when I say they lick more… its not just a little, its A LOT. It’s annoying until you understand WHY.

Reacting to Reactive Pets

When our animal “react” they need our support not our discipline. They need kind leadership, not punishment.

“Reactions” come from uncertainty or fear. Think of a reaction as a cry for help. That’s what it is. Animals are like children, they really are. If you child is scared or uncertain you would deescalate the situation, not make it worse with yelling, screaming or assertive tactics. Do the same for your pet.

* Be calm

* Be a leader  (which means be confident) that they KNOW will keep them safe. So many people get nervous BEFORE their pet reacts… this is why the animal reacts! The human is scared, so the animal thinks there is something to be afraid of!

* Be proactive. If you know there is something that triggers your pet, avoid it when you can. This creates less stress hormone in them.

* Have a plan. A plan that involves deesclation with calmness, patience and clarify.

* Take your pet to a quiet spot after a reaction. Let the animal unwind and relax. Hug them, kiss them, comfort them. This is not rewarding “bad” behavior. This is showing them they are safe and giving them time for the stress hormones to subside. After a “reaction” it takes time for the stress level to go down. They need quiet space and love for this to happen.  And you have 3 seconds when correcting animals, 3 seconds that’s it! By the time you get out of the trigger space, 3 seconds have passed. So if you are angry at your animal, scolding your dog, etc… your pet has NO IDEA why. Too much time has passed.

We MUST take care of our animals mental health. This is so often overlooked with pets. But it should not be. Allowing them to unwind, post reaction, with love, hugs and comfort is not rewarding them. It is letting them know they are safe and loved with you. It is mental health time, for them.

WIldlife Help

found this little guy in the road still breathing, though immobile. A little blood coming out of his mouth. I grabbed him and headed home looking for a wildlife center. It took a bit but I fund a wildlife ER.

I boxed him up with a towel and headed down. It’s the first time I have had to go to one.

A few things about helping wildlife.

* Don’t turn away. Yes, nature is cruel but we aren’t and sometimes we can help.

* Needless suffering is unnecessary, wild or domestic.

* Remember shock can kill them even if their injuries don’t. Prevent shock by minimizing handling. Don’t look them in the eye. If you have them in your car ZERO music. Close your windows (minimize sound and to prevent an escape). Wildlife hearing is so sensitive (to keep them safe). If they get too scared they’ll go into shock. Taking these precautions can help save their life.

* Keep them warm but not too hot. It is reccomended to wrap the animal in a towel and put a warm water bottle near them.

I had no idea if he would make it. The wildlife ER was 45 minutes away. By the time I found him, found a wildlife center, and got him there 1.5 hours had passed. He was still breathing. And at one point I went over a bump, he panicked and tried to jump out of the box!

Otherwise he was immobile.

When I dropped him off they immediately took him in and were going to examine him to see if euthanasia was required or if they may try to rehab him.

Even if euthanasia ends up being the result, I will know he did not lay in the road for hours, scared of the sounds of cars driving over and around him. I will know he did not get run over multiple times by passing cars. Because he didn’t look alive.

The point of this post is to encourage you to find your closest wildlife ER and know where it is. I didn’t until I needed it. I wasted 30 min of time.

Also, stop and look and help. Please. Now I wonder how many animals are still alive suffering on roads or the sides of roads. I will look more closely now at every single one. Always. I promise that to myself.

I have stopped to move turtles and other animals as I am sure you all have. But I don’t look for breaths when I think there are none. I will now.

They are wild but they do not deserve to suffer.

The center I went to is wonderful. And if he is able to be rehabbed and rereleased I will get to go to the rerelease as his rescuer. They will let me know. I have a patient number to check in on him. They record me as his rescuer and send updates to me via email and call. Good or bad. Euthanasia or rehab, IlI know. If he cant be released he will live there. I loved the wild life center!

And, look at the photo of the board in the lobby. 90+ animals in care right now. Know what that means? 90+ people cared enough to take an animal there. A wild animal. The kind so many look away from and just think “that’s nature”. 90+ People! That made my heart so happy.

So here’s to patient #25-1982. Hoping hes strong enough to pull through and recover.

Find your wildlife center for all the others… you never know when you may be the one they need. The only one that doesn’t just drive by.

That’s my closest.

VIDEO IN COMMENTS WHEN INFIRST PICKED HIM UP. He was not in good shape:(

And though he picked himself up out of the box he immediately fell back in limp. It was all from fear 😞

Empaths

Every pet is an empath. The term gets used loosely in our human world but animals are the real deal. True empaths.

Humans can experience empathy (this is different than being an empath). And there are a small percentage of humans that are true empaths. But every single animal IS a true empath.

That’s why they know how you feel even if you try to hide it. That’s why they absorb your energy. They are emotional sponges for ALL emotions, good and bad.

This is why many develop behavior issues or physical illness and disease. They become overwhelmed by the information overload from YOUR emotions.

This is why they connect so deeply with their humans.

This is why some animals do not enjoy being in crowds or around certain human individuals. They are sensitive to the energy of others but also the energy of the environment.

They have heightened emotional sensitivity compared to the majority of humans.

This is why they get overjoyed with excitement when they see you. But also why they take it so personally if they make a mistake or when you hurt their feelings.

Because they are so emotionally sensitive it is easy to see why those that suffer from abuse (physical or emotional) or neglect carry that for so long.

It is also easy to see how anxious or naughty behaviors develop.

If every time you interact with your pet, you remembered they are empaths, how would that change the way you engage? Especially during times they misunderstand or make a mistake.

Lastly, if you stop and think about how your pet is an emotional sponge (a trait of an empath), how much better would you manage YOUR emotions, stresses, and frustrations for THEIR benefit? Being more emotionally intelligent, more emotionally regulated, and more emotionally balanced directly increases your pets quality of life. And quite frankly, their life expectancy.

Every single one of you are sharing your life and your home with an empath animal. A TRUE empath. Let that sink in. Let that really sink in.

Things To Consider With A “Trainer”

Things to consider when hiring a “trainer”

A lot of trainer’s understand how to get animals to do things. Sometimes by force. Force doesn’t always mean abuse. It can mean no other option. But yes it can also mean shock collars, whips, spurs, incessant pressure on a choke lead, pushing a dog down into a sit or lay, or some punishment, etc.

These methods do not take the animals emotions into consideration. Though they will usually deliver results, they are not the best way to communicate with your animals.

Teaching animals, as I like to call it takes time and patience. If a trainer can deliver a result in record time there is usually a reason… and not a good one.

If you want to have the best relationship with your animals find a trainer that understands how animals think. If your animal has a behavior issue find a trainer that understand WHY the issue has presented, what is the animal unhappy or confused about. Then , correct the issue, not the animal.

This sounds simple, but you’d be surprised how many trainers just train the end results and never take into consideration the animal’s emotions, free will, or thoughts. When the animal is taught with kindness, patience, and understanding they are a million times quicker to learn. And more importantly your relationship will be better.

Animals are not robots. You dont have to raise your voice. You don’t need to talk firmly. When your animal has a true relationship with you, you can talk to them like a human and they will listen willingly. They WANT to please you.

When I walk my dogs they are off lead. When I see a human, dog, or bicyclist approaching, I call their name, they come over and they sit without being asked because we have practiced over and over. And now they choose to do it without being asked because they know every time, without exception they will get praised and get a treat, so they CHOOSE to do it.

When the walk is done, I call their names and softly say please sit. And they do and wait for their leads to be put on. And there are thousands of other animals that do the same because they were never forced, they were taught without force.

So when looking for a trainer, please always find one that knows how animals think and doesnt just force them to sit, come, with no insight into the animals feelings or thoughts. There are more forceful trainers that have a lot of ego, that lack true empathy, than there are trainers that understand how animals think.
