Let me start by telling you a little bit about me. I
have two wonderful Cocker Spaniels named "Rio" and
"Nicholas". They have been the joy of my life. Rio
just turned 9 and Nicholas is 8. I have had Rio since
basically birth and Nicholas moved in with us almost a
year ago. I literally spend all my time with these two
great dogs and have become fascinated by the subject of
animal communication. I study their body language and
all their other quirky movements and how they interact
with each other and things around them. Now I will say
I am not a great animal trainer nor an expert on dogs or
any other animals for that fact. I've been a human
Nurse for over 20 years, yet have no medical Knowledge
regarding animals. Except what my vet tells me or that
I have researched. I never ever would think to try to
diagnose any pet or human condition. Yet I feel that I
have broken through some barrier when it comes to
communicating with my two pets, specifically Rio. In
the past I was owned by several other great dogs.
Sunny- I was a child when we had him, I remember him as
such a great gentle dog that everyone loved. Then we
Had "Happy"- he was a terrier mix- a dog that was left
with his brothers and sisters running in a parking lot
at a local mall by us. Happy was a great dog. Truly
Happy. Troubles- moved in with us when she was older
not sure how much but she lived till her late teens.
She was Happy best friend through the years. Then their
was Randy- Another rescue- he was a Sheppard and Weinermarra. What a beauty he was. A huge dog with a
big heart for the family, he was very protective
otherwise. Yet never harmed anyone. Through all these
Pets I had through the years growing up- Communication
was opened till Mr. Rio. I did not have children so my
investment in everything has always been my dogs.
3.5 years Ago I was blessed to have my beautiful
daughter Sam. So now my
children are Sam & Rio & Nicholas.
Skeptics
Some people do not believe in Animal communication
and that is alright, we are all entitled to our
opinions. Yet from all I have learned over the past
five years from my little furbaby Rio, I know that
communication is possible and is happening everyday and
everywhere with all kinds of animals. I've watched
shows on TV about this. Searched other websites reading
about Animal Communicators. Sometimes my experience
seems similar, other times I tend not to agree with all
the facts they give. Yet these are my personal
opinions. I know many of these people have studied this
subject a lot more then I have. I have no scientific
backing for anything I tell you here. I also do not
discredit anyone who makes claims other then the way I
communicate with my Animals. Yet the things and stories
I tell you regarding our communication are true to us.
So as some may think I have flip my lid or really don't
know what I'm talking about or thinking that I'm
talking to myself. That's ok. Yet I just ask that you
try to have an open mind while reading this to
understand all that we are telling you here. The
decision is yours to believe or not believe.
How Animals Communicate
Have you ever watched animals and how they communicate
with each other. Fascinating to say the least. They use
body language which can tell us- they are happy or they
are fearful or even angry. Smell- they smell everything
and pick up scents of other animals and people.
Marking- they mark plants bushes, tree's, furniture and
just about everything else. Touching- They touch each
other , bump each other and people and lean on peoples
legs and communicate in so many different ways.
Growling, Barking, Howling so many different way to
communicate. Yet they have not been able to Master the
communication skills of vocalization as humans. Weather
its do to vocal cords or anything else I am not sure.
Yet they still can communicate with us and do daily.
When you watch a group of animals together, you may not
hear a bark, howl or see anything different going on
between them and then suddenly they will get up and
leave or do something. My belief is they communicate
telepathically to each other. Then if they can
communicate this way to each other why is it considered
so odd that they could communicate to us the same way.
Mr. Rio
Breaks Through
It was two
weeks Prior to 911 and I was moving from Las Vegas to
NY. Rio was almost 6 months old. I hated the idea of
him flying on the plane under me but had very little
options available at the time. We took the read eye a
non stop flight. The whole time sitting in that plane,
I was sick to my stomach worrying about my Baby. The
vet and everyone said he would be fine but that didn't
make me feel any better. All I thought of was him cold
and lonely and scared. Yet I knew in less then five
hours I would have him back in my arms and the great
trauma would be over. Well we landed at Kennedy and low
and behold for over an hour and longer no one could find
my baby. At the point of hysteric's I finally found
someone to find him. He was in a baggage room that they
normally don't put the dogs in. Mind you, I was told
they are the first ones off the plane. When I got him
he was hysterical, I opened his cage he was soaken wet
from sweating and urinating on himself. I vowed to him
never again. Next time if we ever had to go we would
drive all the way cross country.
During the next
few days Rio would come to me and lick me and I would
get images in my head of him in the compartment on the
plane. I would see him panting and scared and sliding
back and forth in his kennel. Just trying to get into a
comfortable safe position. I could feel his fear and
his dread that this was never going to end. MY heart
would break and I would comfort him each time he relayed
these images to me. Yet being a skeptic, I truly
thought to myself that these where just my thought and
not his.
Well I took a
month off from work to get him used to his new
surroundings and would just leave for short periods of
time. When I would leave he would lay on the bed and
just watch looking sad but not doing anything. Then one
day a tenant we rented to in our house told me how when
I wasn't home Rio would howl and cry the whole time. So
I placed a Camcorder on my night table pointing to where
Rio laid when I left the house and just went out for
less then a half an hour. He was quiet when I left.
When I got back in the house all seemed fine. Then I
watched the video. Within minutes of me leaving he
stared right at the camera and cried his little heart
out till he heard the front door open again. With
that knowledge I grabbed him and hugged him and as I
held him the images came in my head- Rio being in the
airplane alone scared and then his feelings that he was
going to be alone and nobody was coming back. How vivid
these images where I knew at that point it wasn't me. I
told him as he looked away from me. That I will always
come back for him. Explaining that sometimes I have to
go out but I will always return. After a long
discussion and Rio not even looking at me like I was
invisible. He comes and licks my face and is licking
nonstop and a full conversation from him is going on in
my head. Explaining he is afraid that he will stay
alone and now that I told him I will come back he will
try to remember that. He just kept thinking he was
never going to see me again. After that the next few
times I left I recorded him and he was fine and adjusted
well.
Over the years
he has become more verbal. I have a chronic health
condition that really wipes me out and he will come to
me and sleep above my head on nights I'm not feeling
well. Telling me I am going to make it through this.
He is so in tune to my thoughts feeling and energy
levels its incredible. I trust his intuition. When
things are not going right- I have asked him questions
and he has always give me the correct answers. I don't
know how he knows these things but I know if Rio tells
me things are going to work out then I can relax. When
I'm looking for something, he looks with me. We have
become a great search and rescue team in the house. We
even play hide and seek which is hard with him since he
knows where I am. Yet his brother Nicholas is not so in
tune. I have hidden behind the door and have told Rio
who has found me to continue looking so his brother
doesn't know where I am and he leads his brother astray
from my hiding spots. Its truly remarkable. Rio's
understanding of speech is absolutely amazing.
Considering he owns this business he has every dog toys
and more known to dogs. Each toy we name and each toy
he can retrieve by name. He can come to different
people by name also.
Now I wont say
Rio does not have his faults. With being such a
communicating dog he is also a very Barking dog. I told
him one day, you are going to be staying at the vet
over night because Mommy and Daddy have to go away.
With that he walked over to my suitcase lifted his leg
and need I say more. I will continue to update this
page telling more stories about Mr. Rio and his
communication skills. As I write it seems hard to relay
everything since this is just a constant occurrence with
us.
Now Nicholas
Nicholas the
lover among dogs. He is in real life Rio's natural
brother from a litter after Rio was born. MY brothers
family has both Nicholas and Rio's parents their names
are Makita and Bono- and also Rio's older brother
Bongo. On a recent visit over a year ago to visit them
all in Vegas. I noticed something different about
Nicholas then the other dogs. He seemed to stand in the
back of the pack. Which I guess is normal since they
were their own pack the four of them. Yet Nicholas came
to me and would just lay his head on me and just seemed
so sad to me. I couldn't get a grip on what he was
trying to tell me. He just would not come through like
Rio does. What was coming through and was told to me
also by my brothers wife was he always has ear problems
and goes to the vet a lot for treatment and stuff. Poor
little guy. Rio's has had his share of those I
thought. Well over the time we where their Nicholas was
also working on my husband and it just was coming
through to us he wasn't happy and for us to take him
home. Half jokingly I said to my brother can I take
him. Sure of course, but everyone was sort of like yeh
your going to take him. Nicholas would come to me during
this time asking me am I going to take him with me and I
didn't realize it but I did make I promise I would get
him to live with us. Now the kids where like you can
take him, so with that I was like fine you guys don't
want him I will make arrangements. That night as the
kids where going out my nephew said Dad don't let them
take Nicky and he was very upset. Which I was happy to
see of course they didn't want him to leave. I was
confused and not knowing what to do. So we went home
and I said I would ask Rio what he wanted me to do. Now
my husband who said only one dog for us Rio no more. WE
fly home and all he talks about is Nicholas. Nicholas
is haunting all of us. So I ask Rio about being a big
brother his Nicholas. At first he said no! I was
shocked- I explained about Nicholas and that he seemed
sad. Finally Rio agreed. A few months go by and its
getting close to the warm weather.
Well we will
continue to update you on our conversations and
experiences that we have together. If your dog or
animals talk to you we would love to hear about them and
post them here so others could learn more about this.
