Most people have heard about animal communication - the ability to talk intuitively with animals. Some consider it unbelievable, while others think only gifted people can do it. As a biologist it was hard for me to believe it too, but when I did my own experiments in animal communication I found out the ability is real. I’ve taught thousands of people how to talk with their animals intuitively. I know that anyone can learn to do this. I teach you how in my new book, Ask Your Animal, which also explains how to use intuitive communication to correct bad behaviors or help your animals get along better.

In this podcast Susan discusses with Merryn Jose what being an animal communicator entails, how you can better communicate with your pets, and what she's learned in her line of work.Susan is an animal communicator with over thirty years of experience working with animals. She utilizes a technique she developed, Behavioral Intuitive Assessment®, to assess the problem and recommend a solution. Her clients span this country and abroad. Susan’s work with animals is an extension of the intuitive work she does with humans as a psychic and medium.

The Armstrong Project, now formally known as Dogs For Diabetics, Inc. began almost seven years ago, when the founder, Mark R., began researching the possibility of training dogs to detect type 1 diabetes related low blood sugar and physically alert the diabetic to the impending drop.  His own life was saved by a black labrador puppy named Benton, while he was asleep in a hotel room on his way back from a training center for guide dogs and on his way to Benton's new blind owner. Benton sensed his blood sugar had dropped dramatically while Mark was sleeping, and the puppy woke him up. 

As I proof read this in the sun on the Q-Barn deck, the Divas trumpet and squeak, their songs ringing out over the entire valley. They are greeting Julia, (their lead caregiver) who is on her way back through the valley on her four- wheeler. We must help them, protect them, love and respect them, but most of all look what we can learn from these amazing elephants. What gifts they bestow.

A two year old cat has become a symbol of death at a Rhode Island nursing home, lying beside patients in their last hours, according to an essay in the New England Journal of Medicine...According to the article, since he arrived at the home two years ago, the cat has been at 25 patients' sides who have passed away...Oscar was adopted as a kitten and grew up on the center's third-floor dementia unit, which treats patients with Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease and other illnesses.

"We are honored to share our lives with each and every elephant that arrives at The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee. Most arrive with painful physical and emotional scars, and each soon learns that we are will care for them in the deepest most loving ways. Our most recent arrival, Dulary, a 43-year old Asian elephant from the Philadelphia Zoo is a healthy confident elephant. She was deeply loved at the Zoo, and is blooming each day as she discovers all the delights of her new home at the Sanctuary."

" A lot has happened to these divas in ten months, but nothing has happened that was not their own idea.  There were of course relationship challenges, having been chained in a line for two years, (while waiting to be placed at an “appropriate” facility), there was a lot to work out once they all came face to face... I remind myself every day who these elephants are, and how they used to live, and how long it took to win their release.  I wish for each of them much of the boundless joy that dear Jenny found, each and every day at The Elephant Sanctuary."
