Who’s Point Of View?

The more you start looking at animals as equals and seeing their emotions, behaviors and quirks from their point of view, the happier they will be. They will engage more. They will open up more. Their personalities will shine more. They will behavior “better”. They will understand more.

I was always a gentle, patient, and kind guardian. 20 years ago I had happy pets. But I was seeing them from a human perspective. I was humanizing them. Placing my emotions and thoughts on them instead of trying to see their own thoughts and emotions and perspectives. I was placing my human ideas of why they behaved a certain way.

Now, holy cow! My pets are a level of happy that I never knew existed! All because I started seeing things from THEIR perspective, THEIR understanding, THEIR thoughts and emotions and most importantly their WHY behind their behaviors. Not the why I placed on their behavior, from a human perspective. I thought I was seeing things from their perspective often, but I wasn’t. I let human thoughts and emotions get in the way.

Your Equal

When you see your animals as equals instead of something you “own” your entire relationship will change for the better.

I have always loved animals. I have always been an animal person. I always did the best I knew how to do and followed what I thought was the right way to do things. I was always kind, never forceful. My animals have always been happy and loved. They were always happy.

But, I didn’t always see their behaviors from their perspective. I saw it through mine in my 20s and early 30s. Once I started really communicating with animals, lots of them, I started seeing their behavior from their perspective and it changed everything!

Your Energy Affects Your Pets

One of the pets last week shared this with me. So I am sharing with all of you.

We our pets are intuitive and they are sent to us to help us grow, learn and expand. They guide us and teach us and protect us. One of the ways they protect us is by absorbing as much of our “negative” energy as they can. This can be sadness, guilt, anger, hurt, depression, etc.. they take it from us so we don’t need to carry it. They release it from themselves as they can through shaking, rubbing on the ground, sunlight, scratching, etc.

When they absorb more than they can release they get sick, disease sets in, they get crabby, depressed, sad, anxious, etc…

So as guardians we must try to reduce the amount of low vibrational energy we expose them to so they don’t absorb it.

Keeping Your Pet’s Energy Balanced

Animals are high energetic beings. They are so sensitive to everything around them and they absorb so much of it. When animal’s shake (picture a wet dog or a cat that gets up from a nap and shakes), this is releasing energy they have absorbed from humans. It is how they stay in balance.

Animals with longer fur have more of a buffer before the energy moves inside of them. They can carry more on their exterior.

Even with shaking, sometimes they need our help because they are holding too much. This can happen when there is a lot of grief or stress in a home, or when an animal frequents public places or vistors/guests (lots of human interaction).

Preferred Phrases

When I talk with the animals they often share preferred phrases with me. When they do, I make a commitment to use these terms.

Recently, pets have used the word “transition” instead of “euthanasia”, “dying”, and even “passed”.

I often ask them why. With this the general consensus is because they are not moving on in any way, they are transitioning into a different form, still as actively involved in their guardians’ lives.

Proper Correction

One of the most important messages I want to send is about delayed correction.

This is one of the biggest misunderstandings I see between humans and animals.

Unless you actually catch your pet in the act of undesirable behavior, it is TOO LATE to correct them. They will not understand what they are being corrected for. All you will do is create confusion and lack of trust.

Time With Your Pet

So many guardians feel guilty about not spending enough time with their pets.

Yes our pets love the time they get with us. They want as much as they can get. They’d spend every minute with us if they could…. Ok well most of them would:)

But they also are the most understanding loyal and selfless beings that exist. If you are busy – gone a lot – take the time to acknowledge your dog when you leave and when you return – even if you only run into the house for 3 minutes.

If you have work to do at home, sit with your pet and do it. Talk to your pet while you clean. Make ten 2 minute connections with your pet if that’s all you have.

Sometimes 10 connections seem like more time to a pet than one 30 minute connection because of frequency.

Gifts From Your Pet

If your pet brings you something – anything, thank them.

It could be a toy, a kill, a stick, a bone, even your shoe! Whatever it is, it is their way of gifting you something to show their love.

So many pets get “in trouble” for bringing a sock or a shoe or an item belonging to a human. Trust me there is not a more flattering gift. It has your scent. Your animal is showing you how special you are. And bringing you something that is YOURS! To be helpful and to show love.

What Name Will You Choose?

Names carry energy. When naming or renaming your pet think about what type of energy you want your pet to have! Remember… you are the one that has to live with it….

Silly names will tend to yield a pet that is funny, goofy, maybe a bit mischievous.

A confident name will tend to yield a pet that is slightly dominant, a leader, bossy.

A cuddly name will yield a pet that is loving and gentle.

These names can help, but personalities are of course stronger than any name.

Are You Hurting Your Pet’s Feelings?

There are a few things humans do that unintentionally hurt their animals feelings. I will post about these over the next week or two.

The first is teasing – I see a lot of clips on IG of animals being teased… now some of it is funny! The cheese test (as long as you give your pet the cheese after). But most of it just confuses animals. They don’t understand teasing like humans do and they take everything literally.

They think you are laughing AT them. This hurts their feelings.

They think they are in trouble or a disappointment.

They think they’ve done something wrong.

They wonder why their guardian wants to “annoy” them.

Most importantly, teasing affects your relationship with your pet. It scars the trust. Animals are all forgiving beings so yes they get over it but in that moment they are hurting, they are sad, they are confused.
