Brian, I know so well about the animals telepathic abilities, been doing it forever with my animals, specially the cats. I just know what they want or need, like a quick flash picture in my mind, but a different perception or look to it than I see with my own eyes, almost like a feeling picture if you know what I mean. I go to let them in before they make any noise, will be walking up as I open the door. One can be standing in the middle of the room & I will suddenly think, water, toy, catmint, nap or whatever. Have also practiced with the dog, she is different cause most of the time the dogs want to please you so want what you want. Was great w/Haley, not so good yet with the cow. We don't have the bond yet, helps if they truly trust you, at least for me. Helped deliver Cheve' so he is easy but a real bonehead. They all have different energy around them, different languages if you will between the different species with each other & me as a dumb human. I sound like a kook now but that's probably why I do well with kids, animals & plants, most living things. Some people are just better or more open to this facet of life, can't explain it as well as you guys can but it just is. I love reading your posts, you have seen & done so much & have all sorts of interesting tidbits of info that make me think! BTW, I'm just a couple of miles from the people with the butterfly nets... :? :roll: J
