The Bay Area Pet Psychic

By Ann Savino

Welcome to our new animal communication column in the American Spirit Newspaper. We are providing this forum for those of you who may have questions and want some psychic insight into what's going on at the energy level with your pet. Health and behavioral issues can arise when there are blocks to the natural flow of an animal's energy. By clearing these blocks, the natural state of health can be restored. Also interesting to explore is the dynamics of your relationship with your pet. Our pets are some of the closest companions we have in our lives. Take this opportunity to ask for insight that can help improve the quality of your life with your pet.

Send your questions to: Ann Savino, the Bay Area Pet Psychic, c/o the Spiritual Rights Foundation, Inc. • POB 14341, Berkeley, CA 94712, or email them to arcana@celestia.com. Private readings in your home and special lectures are available. To make an appointment call 800-642-9355.

1. Why does my Chihuahua have seizures?
The picture I see around this is the dog trying to shake off energy out of her space, like a dog would shake the water off of its body after a bath. I see some intense emotional pain that you have been dealing with for a long time and this is the energy that is affecting your pet. I keep seeing a picture of you shaking your head, trying to make sense of this situation but it just doesn't make sense. Somebody else's problem keeps getting pushed your way and you keep trying to understand it and solve it, but there is really no solution to it because it is not your problem. Basically it looks like you have been living with an abusive situation in a state of siege. I see this affecting your dog because it is affected by your energy. I see you carry this energy around in your head and nervous system, and it looks like your dog is being affected in these same areas. Validate yourself for you have been dealing with this well and handling a lot. Healing work on yourself and your pet will help to remove this energy that does not belong to either of you.

2. Recently we remodeled our house and since then our cat stays away all day and only comes home at night. This was not his normal behavior before the remodel. Why is he doing this?
I see your cat sitting and watching the house. It looks like the house represents his security, where he feels safe and wanted. While the house was being remodeled it looks like he experienced feeling neglected, like he was invisible. Even though you may have been giving him attention during this time, this did not meet his security needs. This cat has a strong sense of territory and gets its sense of grounding from the actual house because it is the cat's territory. I see the combination of your presence and being in the house is what he is looking for. It looks like when you were giving him attention when the remodel was happening, he felt like everything was wide open, like he was vulnerable. I see other animals around and when the house wasn't available to him, he experienced living in their territories. His experience would be like living in somebody else's house where he couldn't fully relax. If it is possible for you, a good way of handling this is spending time during the daytime with him in the house, when there aren't a lot of other people and animals around. For him, this will re-establish him as the king of his territory (the house and your heart). Some consistent reinforcing of this will help him a lot.

3. Ever since a branch fell on my house and broke a skylight, my dog jumps at any sound and is very scared. Why is this happening?
It looks like when this happened, your dog was feeling very relaxed and happy. He was home with you and all was well in his world. The crash of the branch traumatized him because it was unexpected and shattered his sense of well-being. This dog looks very sensitive. It looks like the loud sound got imprinted in his body and his body was strongly conditioned to react in the same way again when he hears loud noises. It looks like he needs help on a physical level to help recondition his responses. If you can do something that calms his body down when there are loud noises around him, that will help his body let go of that fear response it is having. Touch him, hold him, calm his body down but do something physical that will break the cycle of fear that runs through him. Also communicating to him that he is safe and that you will protect him will help.
