When I was in my early to mid-twenties, I worked with animals. One of my duties was to take care of a colony of breeding dogs. There were probably 5 or 6 pairs of breeding animals along with pregnant mothers, who were in separate cages.
When I initially began to take care of the animals, I would let all of the breeding pairs out at once. I could tell who everyone was, so it wasn’t an issue for me.
Anyway, when I began to clean the pens, I’d let all the breeding pairs out at once and left the mothers with their pups in their pens to clean later. After I did that, there were two dogs that growled at each other, and I said to them that there was no fighting. After that, I never had any issues with those 2 particular dogs. It never occurred to me there was anything wrong with what I had told the dogs, as they did behave themselves after my warning.
I continued to let everyone out and never had any problem with them. I loved interacting with the puppies. I would let them out one at a time. I remember them grabbing my scrubs at the time. It was enjoyable for me. I loved working with all the animals I took care of. I felt that someone who loves animals should take care of these animals, and that’s what I did.
Anyway, one day after taking care of the dogs, I ended up the office, which was in a separate building. I was talking to my manager and he mentioned to me that these 2 particular dogs weren’t supposed to be let out together.
When I said I released everyone at once. he asked how I was able to do that or something like that. I was surprised at that, since all I said to them was no fighting. And I mentioned that to my manager, without thinking of the implications.
It seemed natural to me that asking dogs to not fight and have them follow those instructions would seem strange. My manger seemed surprised at the revelation that I asked the dogs not to fight All I know is that they followed what I had asked them.
I know I never had any problem with the any dogs after telling them to basically behave. It never occurred to me that there was anything different about that. I thought that everybody could do that, even the people I worked with.
My Massage Therapist/Holistic Life Counselor mentioned to me that I was spiritually connected.
It never occurred to me that I might have a strong spiritual connection to nature and animals.
Recently, I decided to experiment on my own cats, to see if I could reconnect with them. I would lay in my bed and telepathically them. they were downstairs and I was upstairs in my bedroom. I would telepathically call them, and eventually, they would come upstairs in my bedroom and onto my bed. Other times, when I would be on my loveseat, they would come up and naturally try to use the couch as a scratching post. And I would inevitably say to them. “That is not a scratching post, thank you” and that would end it. Or whatever else was happening. I would use the same words to stop whatever was going on at the time.
I have discovered I still have ability to contact animals and to call my own pets into my bedroom, or wherever. It affirms to me that I still have the ability to contact animals on some sort of basis and I can work on making that better
And I will continue to do so, to how far this experiment can take me.
