What’s Afoot?

Catching up with friends and pets is very important.  Slight changes in the way they act, connect or the patterns they display can open the door to understanding the ways they are communicating their needs and shifts they are experiencing in their own bodies or picking up on our emotional, physical conditions or thoughts. Just as often the behavior changes can be about their health and how they are responding or working to help us answer the questions we have voiced aloud or that they have picked up from within us via our body language, our emotions, scent changes and the word/thoughts we present.

Observing and really seeing one another can provide us with additional options to assist one another with what can be an internal or outward struggle. Barking at the neighbors during your absence can be more about the big picture. They hear neighbors talking, kids laughing and playing, and their people are not home – they choose to “speak” to the only humans available. I have experienced many animal beings have this be their go to response when a person returns home only to get on their phone or turn on a television or computer versus connecting with the only other living being in the home…the pets.

They need companionship whether close by or from afar just as much as we do. They do not speak our language. We need to find a way to understand them. Many animal beings choose changes in their actions or behaviors to bridge the gap in communication asking us to discover the meaning from the big picture to learn what is afoot with them or in the household.

Take a moment and see if your animal companion members are telling you something.
