| I, too, have this same gift of being able to speak with animals of all sorts. Most times when I speak to the animal they are startled to see that I can converse with them. I do it in pictures in my mind. Then the animal talks to me in pictures. They don't really use language like we do - only pictures.
I, too have petted animals that have previously attacked other people. For instance, when I was 5 I was petting a nice doggy who was in a very large cage with wire even over the top of the cage. My mother saw me when she came out of this person's house and screamed to me to get away from the doggy. I found out much later that this nice doggy had mauled several people and was destined to be destroyed the next day. He was fine and dandy with me as I put my little hand into the cage to pet him and talk with him.
I can also talk with animals that I can't physically touch. You name it. Squirrels, rabbits, birds, horses in fields, buffalo, deer, and my raccoons, possums and skunks that I feed nightly. I don't touch them but I can still speak to them none the less.
I also used to visit the zoo in Central Park in NYC. The wolves were quite vocal to me and they told me of their former homes in the wild. I used to walk thru the zoo when it had just snowed and would listen to them speak about how that reminded them of home.
My son also has this gift. He petted a manatee in Florida. This manatee came over to him and stayed with my son for about a half hour letting my son pet him. Yes, a real manatee. The marine patrol tried to intervene and stop him from doing this but when they saw he was not injuring the manatee in any way, they let him continue to pet and talk to it. My son also saved a pelican by taking a fishhook out of his wing. Next thing he knew he was surrounded by other pelicans seeking his hands to pet them as well.
No, this is not fantasy. This is a for real gift you have.
I am very good with dogs as I've owned them. My dogs would tattle tale on my son when I would come from work. The dog would show me pictures of what had transpired during the day that upset it. Then I would ask my son just why was he chasing Dooterboy up the stairs. This was the exact mental picture Dooterboy had sent me. My son would sheepishly admit that's exactly what he did to the dog.
Revel in the fact that you have a gift not too many other people have. Just be very careful who you reveal this gift to as most people will think you are making this up or you are nuts or both. |
