Powrful and Hurtful Words

A woman called me and was very upset. She had had a person “talking” to her dog and according to this person the dog had “said” that he had brain cancer!
The owner cried on the phone and didn’t know what to do, should she put him to sleep?
Was he suffering? Was she such a bad owner?

Upset by her story, and it wasn’t the first time I had heard a story like this, I tried to calm the owner down by saying that I had never heard of any animals or humans that could diagnose themselves that well.
Animals are like we humans: they can “point” out with a feeling that is translated by the receiver. For example “stiff in right side”, or “headache”. Even if it is the right side, the problem can be on the opposite side and the animal or human is compensating by putting the weight on the other side and therefore is stiff on opposite side. Even doctors sometimes take much effort and examination to determine the actual cause of the pain or symptoms.

As an animal communicator, it is not our job to diagnose, we cannot cure and we have to be so careful about what we are telling the owner. That is why I get so angry when I hear these different scary animal stories. We animal communicators have a huge responsibility towards both the animal and owner.

This particular owner took the dog to the veterinarian and proceeded to subject the dog to many different kinds of tests. She got a huge bill, but thank God, the dog was healthy “as a horse” and now several years later, is still alive.

Not long ago I got an e mail from a lady that had lost her young dog in the battle with cancer. Deeply grieving her friend, and upset that he had died so young, she sought support and comfort from a person that worked with spiritual matters. The message she got from this person was that her dog had taken her cancer so she didn’t have to suffer it herself!!!
But the person also told her to go and check her breasts, there may be lumps!
I told the lady that in my experience, I had not met any animals that would take away our sicknesses.
I told her it was a win-win statement from this soothsayer: “If you go and check your breasts and there is something, this person will say—Good that I told you, I was right—And if you don’t have anything in your breasts this person will say—I told you that your dog took the cancer away from you.” Either way, he looks legitimate!
This poor lady is upset and now her grieving is double. Now she has to go through life punishing herself in the belief that she gave her dog her cancer!

I am not against spiritual help. I think we need both doctors and healers, I myself are using both. It is suppose to help, not scare and make the person sicker.
