Smelly-Vision

As I have said, my life is full of laughter and fun and I truly believe that it does help the world go round. When I start a call, I always ask if they have
done communication before and rarely the answer is ‘yes’. For a few, they have experienced it where it is just sent back in writing to them, basically
answering questions that have been asked or what information the animal has volunteered. The reason I do it ‘live’ on the phone is that if you are
having a conversation with someone often it leads in a different direction to that which you would have first thought. I explain to people to look on this
like a conversation with a child, so if you can bear in mind the saying ‘never work with children or animals’ you can imagine what often happens when I
talk toanimals that love being childish!!

When ‘reading’ I get passed over sound, vision and physical pain which I acknowledge straight away, so it then stops. This is my way of confirming it is definitely not mine, it belongs to the animal I am talking to. I also feel emotions and get various smells too.

When I am talking, sometimes my voice will rise with tension that I am getting passed from the animal and even sometimes with a brusque attitude, which I quickly point out is not me personally being ‘sharp’ but that is how the animal is talking. This obviously tends to be with animals that are having problems in some way or ones that have ‘attitude’. On the other hand, I have been known to burst out laughing when, for example, I find out an animal loves being tickled on his tummy and they have literally passed it over to me to experience. Animals do not ever divulge improper personal information, so people never have to worry about that, and I know that my guides would never pass it on to me anyway. Animals do have a great sense of humour and a lovely one that springs to mind was when my friend, Shannon, her sister and parents came to visit me. I landed up chatting to their dog, as you do! She was a lovely dog and took great delight in showing her prowess as a comedian. She gave me phrases like, ‘I just don’t think my mouth is wide enough!’ which caused us to laugh as, apparently, as soon as she gets to the woods she chooses the largest stick she can find and tries to run between the trees with it and invariably comes unstuck, well, ‘stuck’ to be precise! Her owners now just wait for her to do it and it gets the same jovial reception every time. She had learnt that this made them laugh so she often did it, but without causing any actual physical harm to herself. Whilst we were laughing about the fact that animals really do things on purpose, Shannon’s father suddenly asked if I would ask his dog what she thought of him? And as soon as those words left his lips she announced to me, without a pause but with a certain phoney air of innocence,

“I am under the impression that he doesn’t change his socks every day!!” Well, if you can imagine, I just fell about laughing and asked him if he really wanted to hear what she had said? Egged on by his wife, Shannon and her sister, I repeated it to him.

 He smiled and scrunched his eyes a bit and said, “Err, I have been known to forget to change them!!” And, even more bizarrely, in the midst of this communication, we had a discussion about who really do change their socks every day, so Lord knows what this dog thought she had started!

One day I drove onto a yard I had been to several times before with my husband, Bob, as he has been Carolyn’s horse dentist for years. During his last dental visit with me going along for the ride, somehow I ended up having an impromptu chat with one of her horses. On this visit, though, it was only me as she had asked me to come and chat to all four of them. They were great fun and very informative, although the one horse kept butting in all the time, as sometimes happens with a strong personality. He, in fact, was the one that I had spoken to previously, and on that occasion when I asked if he had any helpful advice for Carolyn, he wanted to let her know that he thought there was some wiring which was unsafe. I pushed for a more in-depth explanation and he showed me a thick wire that seemed to be attached to what looked like a wooden plank! I had no idea what it was he was talking about, as neither did Carolyn. I told her not to worry, however, if there was a problem maybe look for wiring attached somewhere, like the picture he was describing. She nodded and said if a problem occurred she would pass his information on to her landlord! I had totally forgotten about this nugget of information until it was brought to my attention on another occasion when, during a chat with one of the horses, the yard owner appeared and, without hesitation,

Carolyn introduced me by saying, “This is Jackie who saved your house being burnt down!!”

 He looked at me, nodded and said, “Thank you very much!” and walked on. I laughed and then listened as she regaled the story about how the power had kept on shorting out and then an electrician had found an exposed live wire touching a smouldering wooden slat behind an electric fuse board. Once again a horse had informed us of something that was absolutely true, and somehow he just knew! As I explained, animals are ‘open’ and do know things (there are more examples throughout this book), so I tend to listen and pass on things, but carefully put it so as not to cause alarm.

I finished the chats when she suddenly remembered a question that she wanted to ask of the noisy horse that kept interrupting. Could I please ask him what he thought of Bob?! Now bearing in mind some horses do not like having their teeth done but most, on the whole, are pretty good about it, I thought this could be interesting. I also knew through booking Bob’s calls that she had at least one sedated on the yard but I did not know if it was him. I simply put it to him,

“What do you think of Bob, your dentist?” His reply,

“Oh he’s nice, but he smells like a girl!!” Well we just fell about laughing and if you are wondering why, this is the reason; Bob puts lavender on the front of his tunic so the horses can inhale the aroma while he is working on their teeth. He thinks it does help some calm and even if it doesn’t, it does make him smell a bit more pleasant after spending hours working in horses’ stables.

I had absolute joy talking to a miniature horse in California who was just the bees knees (any idea of how and why that saying was invented?! Answers on a postcard please!) to talk to. He was really just like a big dog and very full of himself. He would pick things up and carry them about and generally make everyone laugh, including me! One question that did make me think was when she said,

“Can you ask him about the wildlife that he encounters?”

 Now bearing in mind I am not good with geography and even worse about what animal inhabits what part of the world, I had one of those momentary panics thinking, what if it is a puma or something like that? My fears were quickly dismissed when I saw something dark, bigger than a rat though, and just as I went into its description I was given the most awful nasty niff to go with it, and as I uttered about the smell, she so casually said, “Oh, that’ll be the skunk then!!” This pony didn’t complain but said that he wished it would take a wider berth!

About a year ago, I came up with the format for a show that I hope will be very entertaining and a completely new ‘take’ on animal communication. My aim in life is that the more that people experience it, they will then believe in it and then animals will benefit from it. So with my printed-up format, a couple of very good friends, Sal and Jackie (known as Jacks, also the artist for this book) said they would help me practise and see how it flowed. So, sitting in Jack’s kitchen with a video camera perched on the counter we set about practising the show with Sal being the ‘compère’. The ‘contestant’s’ pets, Eddie and Alfie, consisted of one Labrador and one Labrador cross Spaniel, which sounds fine, but they were only ten months old!! So Sal had her script to hand, we set the camera rolling and I started doing my animal chatting to practise this idea of mine. Well, all was going smoothly and what they were saying was correct, but Alfie and Eddie decided it would be good to have a bit of rough and tumble to liven up the proceedings and started getting rather boisterous, to say the least!

As much as Jacks tried to concentrate she couldn’t and asked, “Are you sure they are listening to us?!”

 “Oh, yes”, I replied, “it’s to their subconscious, so don’t worry!” As much as we tried, it really was one of those ‘animals and children’ cases and we were struggling not to laugh but we were failing and, to make matters worse, an unfortunate aroma made itself apparent, and no, this was not telepathic, this was real and was hanging in the air like a very dark and obvious cloud! I was nearest the culprit and couldn’t speak for laughing but as Sal was urging me to ‘get on with it’ and bearing in mind this was being filmed I discreetly said, behind my hand,

“One of the dogs has ‘dropped’ one”, and, just at that point, Sal and Jacks got their own waft too!

Then, unbelievably, Sal announces, as loud as you like to the video camera, as if it was an audience,

“Oh, we do apologise, Mrs Weaver has completely lost it as one of the dogs has just blown orf!!” and said with the utmost essence of someone speaking the proper Queen’s English. Well, that was it, all finesse had been dispersed with and we were like three school kids who couldn’t string a sensible sentence together between us! As much as we tried, we just kept laughing, so abandoned that run through. Fortunately, as it had been recorded, I was able to cut the clip out of the bedlam and send it to various friends showing just how crazy and funny life can be. We have practised since and one day I will use the format to spread the word, and thank goodness I can work from a distance!!
