Sonya The Pet Psychic - Our Phone Reading

My husband and I have been going the rounds regarding the question of neutering our pup. The vets keep saying that we need to in order to give him a better quality of life. They say he will live longer and so on. Nevermind that our last rescued dog was already chopped when we found him and passed on at age five of cancer, nevermind that studies show that over inoculating the animals gives them cancer...So, since we could not really figure out what to do, I thought I would see if Sonya might be offering any readings on her website.  She was! So I signed us up for an appointment.

My husband's business meeting had been canceled, due to hurricane Katrina, so I decided it would be best to let him talk with her.  When she got on the line, I could hear some of what she was saying and he was repeating it to me, which was silly, since I could have just picked up one of the other lines, but anyway, he started out by telling her how much she means to us and how we thank her for her work, which she pretty much just blushed a bit over and quickly went into a stream of talk.  Before my husband had asked a single question she began telling us what our pup was telling her, as he lay on the bed at my husband's feet.

She told us he acknowledges that he is the best pup in the world and that we tell him this all of the time.  This is something I  always tell him, it is like the Little Prince theory, you know?  "There are many flowers...but she is my flower and she is special."

He said he could not imagine a more perfect life and that he loved that we are home most of the time and don't leave him alone like many dogs he is aware of are home alone.  He told her he can sleep anywhere he wants to and that many beds are made up for him around the house. (When he came I made places all over where he could comfortably lounge by windows)  He said he could go on any of the furniture and fall asleep on them too and not worry he will be scolded.  He said daddy works at home most of the time and that he helps him with his work.  (Daddy always tells folks he has his business partner here with him when he is on the phone, as pup stretches out over his papers and his lap.) 

"Mommy sings to me" he told Sonya "And I like it when she puts my name into the song."  It is the darndest thing, but I am always singing to our pup.  And I like to put his name into the song too...I had no idea he actually liked it.  My husband knows I sing and write songs, but he had no idea I was singing to our dog.

He also informed Sonya that there are some rude dogs in the neighborhood and he'd like to set them straight, because he is much better mannered than they are.  He is kind and nice, and he would like them to stop being rude. He also realizes he is smarter than your average dog. 

He said there is a dog who comes over and goes straight to his bowl and eats all of his food and that isn't the worst of it.  He is messy and makes his food and water "stinky"sticking his nose in there , and he would like it if we would pick up his bowl and not let the other dog get into it.  He said that he likes the dog a lot, and would we just get him his own bowls because he does want to share.  He says the dog is always a shaggy mess and his family doesn't pay enough attention and they never take care of him enough even though they love him. The neighbor plays a little rough, but it is ok.  (This fits exactly:  The dog across the street is our pup's best friend, they love to play, but the other dog always makes a beeline to the feeding bowl and snarfs up all his food. It is obvious that the family loves their dog, but I am often amazed at how he is left to roam about for days on end at times.  Also they admit to never bathing the dog, but he does get into the intracoastal a lot for a swim. I have wondered if the play was too rough also, because our pup is about 12 pounds to his 80 or so.)  I found it funny that our pup realizes he is "shaggy" and I really didn't notice it until he mentioned it. 

"He says 'I am naturally beautifully groomed,  but mom gives me wonderful grooming too and I love it."  Which is something I had wondered about.  Did his baths bother him?

"He says he goes to a place with lots of water and he likes the water to look at but the bath is as close to the water as he wants to get".  This is something I had wondered about too as we had just started taking him to the ocean for walks.  We also just began swimming in the pool and I took him in once, but could not tell if he liked it or not.  "He likes to look at it only" she says, without the question even being said out loud. 

He told her we buy him many wonderful toys and he loves that we play "just like a dog" with him, which is something we do daily by chasing him and playing keep away and just generally having a good time.  He told Sonya that he had a favorite green toy and it broke and he wants another one.  (recently it got broken when the big dog was playing with it)... He says "I have toys all over the house", and indeed, it does look like we have toddlers again as there are toys scattered all about.  Sonya also picked up that he has a sense of humor, which he certainly does, though it is hard to explain it to people.  It is in the way he will grab his own leash to pull us and take us for a walk when we are out, or how he will comically pounce on a hole in the ground...like I said, hard to explain, but he does have a sense of humor.

I never have been able to find a food for him that he likes.  We have ordered just about every kind of natural dog food there is and even the junk ones at the supermarket, but he has not eaten much of them.  Recently I took to buying freerange organic chicken and boiling that up with rice and veggies.  "I'm a finicky eater and I don't like a lot of what mommy gives me but I like chicken and rice.  I don't like the food dogs eat.  I like people food."  Sonya said we could hold up on the beans though, as it kinda upsets his tummy. (We are vegetarians, so it isn't like we have steaks to offer him.)

One time I kissed his little paw.  I don't know why.  But, I had said to him at the time, "Oh look how close I feel to you that I even kiss your little foot" and she said "he says mommy gives me kisses and even kissed my feet she loves me so much."  (now come on folks, who would think to mention this if they were not truly psychic?)

He told Sonya that his horrible past is all gone now.  That though he had given up on life and had thought his life was over, he now had the "mot perfect home in the world" and "he does not want to move"... Moving is something I often discuss with my husband lately.  Oh, I just remembered the first thing he told Sonya to tell us was "they saved my life".  Wow.  He kinda saved mine too.  I think every girl has to have a dog.  I'm lost without my special pup, and as Sonya said, (and we could always sense) we have been together many lifetimes.

She said "He really likes the man who comes over who loves to play golf."  Well, I don't have many guests, because I like to be alone and I am very picky about who comes over, but our dear friend comes over who is addicted to golf in a major way.  Our pup told Sonya to tell my husband to "buy him some golf balls from me." he added "I don't want them for me, I want them for him."   Which we found hilarious. (of course we are going to buy some and let pup give them to him).   We also have people who work on our house at times, and one is very good with woodwork.  "Your pup also likes the man who comes over and works on the wood".  I had recently been wondering if I should keep him with us, but he has the puppy seal of approval, so I think I will.

She then asked if my husband had any questions.  He suggested that our pup had been mistreated by his first family.  "He says he was put out in the rain and in the thunder and it really frightened him and he thought he died.  This man not only put him out during the hurricane last year, but he often had put him out and locked him behind doors many times and shut him out.  And he never dreamed he could have such a wonderful life as we have given him, and that the beginning of his life is all gone and forgotten and he thinks he has the most perfect home in the world.   He plans to have a long and happy life with you".  Of course, both of us were teary eyed by then.

She said he told her he had died inside and given up on ever having a life..and now he has the best life in the world.

"Someone just moved out he says, and he says that she was very kind and that she was very happy to go on a new adventure".  Our daughter just moved out that month.

Then she asked if my husband had any questions.   "We had two other dogs, Fluffy and Jake...." and before he could finish she says "Oh Fluffy is here with your wife's father who is carrying an American flag.  He is always with you and Jake is with him also. He had a hard life, but a happy life.   He had leg problems very badly in his life.  He says he is glad he does not have to ever come back to earth again.  He really enjoys it on the other side."  She mentioned that Fluffy also had leg problems, which was true, and that she was very sick when we put her under, and she thanks us for letting her go from the pain.  Anyway, my dad was a war hero over and over again, retired col. who came up from the ranks from private 3rd, the last 25 years of his life he could hardly walk his legs had been so constricted from flying B52's  (or something)in the early days. Many would have given up on walking, but he made himself do things.  He is buried at Arlington Cemetery, which could explain the flag.  His biggest  focus was to serve his country.

 I had always wondered if I had been patient enough with dear Fluffy (whom I often called Mahatma Doggie because she was so very kind to everyone).  She said "Fluffy says she had a beautiful life and that she always had all she ever wanted and that she was very spoiled and loved it."  Which was a relief to me.  "Her father says that when your pup passes over, he will be with him too, and he wants you both to know that you will live very long and fulfilling lives."   He also said some things we cannot mention, but we can validate.

Then she said "Another woman is here, who passed on from cancer.  She says there is a ring, and there was a problem with sizing and she wants your wife to wear this ring because it has much of her vibrations still in there, and she wants you to know she watches over your family all of the time."  I immediately went to my drawer to where the tiny wedding band was which my grannie had worn for sixty years never once having taken it off since the day my grandfather made her his bride .  It had not fit me, as I had gained some weight, but now I put it on, having lost weight, and it fit perfectly.  I am now going to wear it all of the time to remember my grannie is with me.  She also said Grannie had been very grateful for the blue bed robe that I had sent her.  (how much more specific does one need to be?).  I had sent her one, and apparently in the hospital, it was a real fashion hit.  I had been told this  by my mom many months earlier.

Then she said "Do you have a son?" to my husband, which he does, (though I have no sons), and told him about his eldest son (he has four) and many details of what he has been going through and how he is winning over his afflictions. 

There was so much more that she said.  This was just the outline.  But, she was specific and exact and not a single thing she said did not make sense to us.  She also had a beautiful laugh which reminds one that "joyful laughter is the sincerest form of prayer."

She told us that he would be fine with the neutering and that animals don't feel the pain the same way that we do.  She warned us to be sure to get a vet that has a good monitoring system so that they keep tabs and can bring him out of the operation if necessary.  Also, she mentioned something about pain patches, which I am going to see if they are listed on her web site or something. 

All in all, I could not do justice trying to describe  the reading that we had.  It had so many wonderful and important points and it sliced the veil a bit more for my already psychic husband, who could feel dad and grannie and his parents talking (they are the ones who mentioned his eldest son).  He says something is different for him now.  He is more in touch, and frankly, he already was very much in touch.  Our kids are always calling him and asking him to "ask his voice" when they have perplexing questions about their life.

A big shout out and thank you to Sonya the Pet Psychic.  A truly gifted and generous soul.
