Our animals serve as our best teachers, never judging, always accepting us heart-to-heart. Because they are so sensitive and loving our beloved animals can mirror back our emotional issues. Tired and moody? You may notice your sweet animal is being more quiet than usual, or more affectionate trying to get you to snap out of your mood. Pay attention as they may be trying to show you that you are not heart centered.
One cat who was peeing outside the litter box communicated she was upset from her two people arguing all the time. They had no idea they were fighting so much as it had become normal because of their stressful lives. Their cat was teaching them they needed to change to have a happier life. Even in behavioral issues our animals can be teaching us about life.
Sharen asked a puppy why he didn't come when called, even though he had gone to a training class. The frisky young dog communicated he thought his name was "NO". He loved his person, but he had no idea at all what he was supposed to do. His person realized this was not only an issue with his puppy, but not communicating well, or at all, was a big issue his whole life. He understood it was about time he took it seriously as he had no close relationships. Our animals can teach us what we need to look at by mirroring our own issues. They help us look deeper into our own selves with their sincere message of the heart.
