Popcorn

September 30, 2013

I taught a How to Communicate with Animals workshop this past weekend in Sarasota. We had a great time and three wonderful dogs attended that we worked with on perceiving their physical, emotional, mental and spiritual qualities. We also asked them to show or tell us about their lives.

One sweet little Japanese Chin told a woman that he likes popcorn. When she shared that with the

dog’s mom, she was puzzled, because she doesn’t eat popcorn. It didn’t make sense to her. The same dog showed someone else that he likes lying on the back of the couch and looking at the pool outside the windows. Again, she didn’t understand because they don’t have a pool.

The next day, I got an email from the dog’s mom. That evening she was munching on some rice crackers and noticed that the dog was eagerly waiting for any crumbs that might fall. 

POPCORN – it hit her like a ton of bricks. Rice cracker pieces could easily look/feel/seem like popcorn. She now understood what he had shown the woman in class.

That made her think about the pool image he had given someone else. Of course – it was at her son’s house! He loves to hang out on the back of the couch and look out the windows when they visit there.

I encouraged her to contact the women in the class to validate that what they heard/saw/felt was indeed correct. This is a very common occurrence in a class. The humans have a hard time remembering things that their animal friends show us, but later it all becomes clear. I’m just so pleased that the popcorn mystery was solved.
