ATH conversation with Melanie A's Daisy

[Moderator]

We are glad you are interested in practicing talking together with an animal!

To get started, greet the animal and ask if they have time to talk with you. Remember that animals also lead busy lives even though we may not see all that they do. If they aren’t available, check back later.

Introduce yourself and explain why you are reaching out to them: that you are a member of the Animal Talk Coaching & Mastery Club and learning to better communicate with animals and would appreciate their help. You can ask them any questions you want. Typically they do provide a response. Please share your impressions of their personality, energy, how they feel and any insights they may share with you. By sharing what you get, the animal’s person can provide you with feedback and others can jump in too.

Use the Forum SEARCH field (located at the top of the right column above the picture of the Featured Animal Teacher) to find more discussions involving this animal (or other animals with the same name).

Some conversations have been lively, and we’ve learned some amazing insights, and laughed at jokes. Remember that this is a safe place to practice. This is about practice and learning, it is not about getting it perfect. The animals have much to teach us, to share with us and we with them.

Hi Melanie, thanks for allowing me to speak with Daisy. I’ve been out of practice, so I hope some of this resonates with you.

Daisy looked a bit puzzled, wondering why I was speaking with her! I explained to her that I need practice so I can connect to my 4 girls in spirit.
She seems a bit wary of strangers, introverted, but a warm and loving soul. She has soft fur, and the temperature is warm. She runs at a brisk pace and has a medium bark. She appears to be middle aged, and I get the impression of a litter…did she have pups? She misses another brown dog….was that a sibling or someone she was with? I also got a feeling it may be a reference to a past life.

There are some square pieces of food (fish? meat?) in a white bowl. She is near a spring or brook, and her favorite game is with small sticks. She loved to run around in circles when younger.

She loves the peaceful atmosphere of the home, and the feeling of security. Apart from you, is she attached to someone else in the house?

She feels the cold…is there an issue in the lower back, almost at the end of the spine?

Daisy is an old soul, who wants to teach people to respond, rather than react. Her advice to me is to go deeper in a conversation.

Thanks again Melanie and Daisy, and love and blessings.

Hi Nita.

Thank you for communicating with Daisy.

“Daisy looked a bit puzzled, wondering why I was speaking with her! I explained to her that I need practice so I can connect to my 4 girls in spirit.”

Daisy has spoken with animal communicators before, but I didn’t think to tell her that I had submitted her picture. She’s a great teacher though, so I’m sure she didn’t mind 🙂

“She seems a bit wary of strangers, introverted, but a warm and loving soul.”
Daisy is very friendly and loving – smile or say hello and she’s your best friend.

“She has soft fur, and the temperature is warm. Yes.
She runs at a brisk pace and has a medium bark. She appears to be middle aged”
She used to be quite fast, but is an old girl now and has slowed down a lot.

” and I get the impression of a litter…did she have pups? She misses another brown dog….was that a sibling or someone she was with? I also got a feeling it may be a reference to a past life.”
No pups, but her mum was a chocolate coloured labrador.

“There are some square pieces of food (fish? meat?) in a white bowl.”
Her feeding bowl is stainless steel, however we have started cooking our own food for her, with chicken, which we store in a white plastic container.

“She is near a spring or brook, and her favorite game is with small sticks.”
We always used to walk her near the river, but unfortunately she used ro eat small sticks, so we had to start putting her on the lead. She loved to run around in circles when younger. Definitely

“She loves the peaceful atmosphere of the home, and the feeling of security. Apart from you, is she attached to someone else in the house?”
She is my baby, but also very much a family dog, so very attached to my husband and son too.

“She feels the cold…is there an issue in the lower back, almost at the end of the spine?”
Sadly, as she is aging she has slowed right down and is feeling more pain and stiffness in her back and back legs, which are getting weaker.

“Daisy is an old soul, who wants to teach people to respond, rather than react. Her advice to me is to go into the depth in a conversation.”
Beautiful advice from Daisy, especially considering our other dog Rolo is very reactive. Well done and thank you so much for connecting with her.

Hi Melanie, thanks very much indeed for your prompt and encouraging response….sorry I just saw this due to our time difference (I’m in India). Glad I got a few things right! It was a pleasure speaking with her. I look forward to connecting to your other kids too.
Thanks again and love and blessings.

Hi Nita,

Following on from your communication with Daisy I wanted to confirm a few more things that have come to light.
Daisy is currently very ill and undergoing tests at the vets, with a lot of pain in her back as you said.
Her advice to respond, rather than react has proved sound advice for us in helping our other dog Rolo, with whom we have had a lot of behaviour problems including stealing and constant barking. Instead of constantly telling him to be quiet we are trying to pay more attention to what he is trying to tell us, which is helping somewhat with his behavioural issues.

Thank you so much again for sharing your communication with her. Please feel free to talk to her any time.

Hi Melanie,

I was planning to speak with one of your kids and message you about your awesome communication and saving the mice, when I saw this. So sorry to hear about Daisy…sending her lots of love and healing light and praying that things improve. I will just talk to her to reassure her and offer support.

Rolo is definitely trying to convey something…I speak from experience of my 9 rescues, each one has had a message. The first one Brownie, now in spirit, kept running away (so dangerous here in the hills and jungle) but no communicator I consulted asked her why. I had a session with Val and she revealed the reason. You’re such a good communicator that I’m sure you will be able to work with him, though I’m sure it’s difficult right now with Daisy being priority.
You know I’m short on practice and self confidence, but I will try to connect with him and see if I get anything.

My thoughts and prayers are with Daisy especially and all of you….look forward to updates if and when you can. Lots of love

[Melanie Appleyard]

Thank you so much for your help, advice and healing. It is very much appreciated.
I struggle communicating with my own dogs as I know them so well, I wonder if what I get is coming from my own head. Like you, I think it comes down to confidence.
One thing with animal communication is you can never be sure yourself if you’ve got it right or not.
You’re doing a great job with your communication. Like me, you need to have more confidence in yourself.

Thanks again.
Mel xx

[Nita Mukherjee]

Thanks Mel. As Val says, it’s more difficult with our own pets. You got such great validation from the mice, they will bless you. Will be thinking of you and Daisy.
Lots of love and hugs
