How do animals communicate with you?
I like to actually touch the animal with whom I’m communicating. Not all animal communicators need to touch, but I prefer it. When I touch the animal, his or her thoughts come to me in black and white pictures. Rarely will I see “thought pictures” in color. I see the images and interpret their meaning, putting my words to the images. The animals are not communicating in human voice and words. Since I also feel what the animal is feeling, most of the time my interpretations are correct. I can also work from a picture of the animal since I can feel the animal’s energy from the picture.

Do animals feel the same emotions we do?Donetta
Animals DO feel love, happiness, sadness, loneliness, grief, fear and, of course, pain. They also feel pride and envy. They have likes and dislikes just like people. They may or may not like other animals and they definitely have preferences for the people in their lives.

Do domestic animals differ in the way they think than wild animals?
All domestic animals seem very similar to me in that they feel the same things, they do many of the same things. The more people have worked with animals, either via relationship or in training or educating them, the slower their thoughts become. The more they are able to slow their thoughts the easier it is for humans to communicate with animals.

Wild animals, even when born in captivity think at such a higher speed. They are much more difficult to communicate with. I assume that is because they live by their wits. There are some animals that are so bright they recognize what I am doing and they will adapt their thoughts to make it easier for me to read them.   Animals feel many of  the same emotions that humans feel.

Can you diagnose my animal’s medical problems?
Although I don’t have medical training, I can often help with medical problems. You should always consult your veterinarian first about medical problems with your animal. I have had several vets refer patients to me after conventional therapies don’t work.

Do animals have souls?
I am convinced that animals have souls, just as humans do, and when they pass they live in spirit form. Spirit is no different than flesh, except there are fewer of those emotions that are important. There is no pain, there is no suffering.  Animals don’t fear death the way most humans do.  Animals don’t look forward to dying, but they don’t dwell on it the way humans do.  After an animal has passed, I can look at a photo and get the same sense of energy and their thoughts.  It comes through just as strong and just as easily as if they were alive.

What do animals tell you about the afterlife?
Animals who have passed tell me they are not in pain  as they may have been during their life if they were sick at the time of their death.  Animal are  happy although they may still be concerned about their humans. They are always cared for by humans or other animals who have passed. Most of the difficulties they had in life are no longer problems to them in death. “I hated other dogs but now I no longer do.” “I could never get enough to eat, but now I don’t need to eat.”  Bodies that were not intact in life are now.  A missing limb is no longer missing. They are at their best, sometimes they are better than then they were during their life.  Some animals, of course, have no contact with humans on earth so they’ will be with other animals and then later they may decide it is acceptable to be with humans.
