Last week, I posted all the intimate details of Lilly’s work with an animal communicator. And, while I love the idea of knowing what Lilly thinks, what she feels, etc., I also wonder if
it might have a downside. …
People often tell me that Lilly is lucky to have me. They believe that the average dog owner would have given up on her after just a few panic attacks. They also believe (dare I say,
know) that experienced handlers would have rehomed or retired her and began again with another dog. And, at least, one handler teased me this week that perhaps I’m the one in need of drugs (as in,
you crazy lady for still trying to get this nutty dog back to performance status). Maybe they’re all right. …
I often find myself at my desk, working away, until a commotion outside gets my attention. It usually starts with catching a black streak out the window in my peripheral vision. Then,

the same time as the snarking began at our rally obedience classes, which we were doing to try and build ring confidence for agility. Can you say backfire? So, I asked the communicator to find out
what was up. Here are the results. …
In July 2006, about 6 months into Lilly’s agility meltdown, I sought help from an animal communicator. Essentially, I asked her to find out what’s causing Lilly concern at agility
classes and what she needed me to do to help. I did not give the communicator any details on what the problems looked like. I simply gave her a list of pretty vague questions and a photo of Lilly.
She did not meet Lilly, nor did she know much about agility as a sport. Here are the results of their first communication session together.
