[This case sharing had obtain prior consent from MAYA's owners before posting]
Just had a chat with Maya – May be it was because I was a stranger to her, and she didn’t respond to me until a few attempts later. I felt that she was a bit shy or guarded and it was a bit difficult for her to begin the conversation after a few times telling her that her “best friend” wants to know more about her – does she addresses you in other ways? Like mom?!.
Here are her responses to some of your questions:
1. How did you end up being a stray?
Maya: What? I was a stray? I didn’t know that!?
Me: Well, it’s ok, that’s probably isn’t something happy to remember about. Anyway, are you happy now with your best friend?
Maya: Yes (she wagged her tail with a smile)
Me: That’s good, that’s all it matters.
2. Why are you so scared of baths? Me: Maya, do you like water?
Maya: (She showed me a scene where she was playing with water, not exactly swimming but just having fun in the water – not deep water though.)
Me: Oh, so you like water? But howcome you don’t like baths?
Maya: It’s boring and uncomfortable.
Me: Really? How so?
Maya: I hate bubbles covering me! (I guess she meant foam!?) And I don’t like them rubbing things on me.
Me: Oh! How should they do it then?
Maya: I like to be massaged 
3. Do you miss your puppies at all?
(This one took a long time for her to respond)
(Maya told me that she had 6 babies, is that so?)
Me: Do you miss them?
Maya: Nah! I am sure they are going to be very happy.
Before I go, I asked if there are other things she wants to tell you. She said “Yeah, tell her that I love her and I like to be scratched.”

Owner’s feedback:
Thankyou very much, that’s awesome to know. She had 10 pups, although for 2 weeks we had just 6, so she might have been attached to those six a bit more. Maya is always running about in water when we are down by it but never goes enjoys the baths, so that explains it and small dogs seem to annoy her more, I think because of the barking.
Thank you so much, it’s quite shocking and very interesting
[The following case is published with Leng Leng's owner's consent]
Doggie’s name: Leng Leng
Age: 7
Gender: Male
Age: 7
Gender: Male
———-
Leng Leng is not a jumpy dog, he is calm and collected and a true foodie. He loves foods and is very into this subject during our chat. His mom (owner) wants to know what his favorite food is. As soon as I mentioned the word “food”, a BOWL popped out – guess he was very eager to get his treats! ;p
Me: Leng Leng, what’s your favorite foods? What do you like to eat?
(Leng Leng showed me something yellow-orangish but I wasn’t sure what that was. Believe that it’s either banana or mango!? Anyway, he also showed me chicken and beef)
Leng Leng: Can you help tell my mom that I really really want a bite of those steaks?
Owner’s feedback: Bingo, he likes eating chicken (those chicken from soup) and once he had a little piece of Wagyu beef (very small piece)…but I don’t know about the yellow-orangish thing…
Me: Alright, sure, I’ll pass the message to your mom!
Me: What do you like to do?
(Leng Leng showed me a scene where he was running happily on grass. I asked if this is what he really like to do? It’s quite difficult to find grass for dogs to run on in Hong Kong. Very often, when i ask dogs who live in Hong Kong about “park” (with grass and trees), they don’t respond, basically because most parks in Hong Kong are made of concrete and the concept of trees and grass doesn’t make sense to them. But in lang lang’s case, he specifically says he loves running on grass.)
Owner’s feedback: Yes, he likes grass, as he was living in Toronto too…they had a backyard where they often bring him out. Of course he misses that as he can’t see grass much now…
Me: Do you like to play with other dogs?
(He should me a scene in which he was playing with a small breed dog. Believe that he only play with selected dogs and preferably smaller breeds?)
Leng Leng: I like to play with dogs that are shorter than me. I like to be the taller one.
Owner’s feedback: Yes, he only plays with selected dogs, in fact, he seldom meets other dogs…
Me: Mom told me you pee a lot in the house? Why’s that?
(There was an urge to pee from the bladder in specific - not sure what that is, but if you are very worried, check in with a vet. Tell the vet that he pees a lot in the house, and ask if there is anything wrong with the bladder.)
Take a look at this short TV segment from San Francisco KRON-4 News. It talks about what animal communication is and how it works.
From: Professional Animal Communicator Barbara Martin
This is what Stitch wants!
Come across skeptics about animal communications, they’d ask “How do you know it’s not your imaginations?”.
I am not surprised by this questions because I asked myself the same in the beginning.
I didn’t know how to answer this until last night at our study group.
We asked Stitch “What would you like to eat now?”
We all got the same answer “ICE CREAM”.
Now, if it’s really just our imagination, would ice cream pop out in all our minds?
- Golden boy the chihuahua wants to become a socceer player!
[I have obtained prior approval from Golden Boy's owner for publishing this case]
Just had a chat with Golden Boy, a 2.5 year old chihuahua. I was expecting to chat with a naughty and mischievous boy until I started talking to him, he was easy going and fun to chat with, and very well mannered!
Me: Hey, Golden Boy! Your owner asked me to have a chat with you, is that ok?
GB: Sure, let’s talk! (said with an upbeat tone)
Me: She wants to know if you like her or her mom more?
GB: (Without hesitation) Mom. (the owner’s mom) Because she plays with me all the time.
(Golden Boy’s owner told me that it’s very obvious that he likes her mom more, especially when she plays with him everyday before he sleeps.)
Me: Your owner told me you are very naughty sometimes?
GB: No, I am not.
Me: But you are naughtier than Mui Mui (another dog in the house) ?
GB: No, not naughtier, we are just very different.
Me: You bark all the time?
GB: Bark? no I don’t bark.
Me: Well, did you go “woof woof” at people?
GB: Oh yeah! I was just striking conversations with them. Why? They think I talk too loud?
Me: Yeah, I am afraid so.
GB: Fine… I will lower my voice next time.
(His owner told me little Golden Boy is very chatty, whenever people talks, he would joins the conversation. Well, let’s see if he really lowers his voice then.)
Me: What’s your favorite toy?
(GB didn’t give me a verbal answer. Instead, I found some interesting scenes popping up – he was watching soccer matches and imagined himself as one of the soccer players! I asked the owner if Golden Boy likes soccer, and she told me that every night, they would pass a soccer field and sometimes people would be playing soccer there. Golden Boy would stop and watch the matches for a bit every now and then. Well, I guess he was also fantasising himself as a soccer hero! LOL!)
Teddy refused to answer a political question
[The following blog post obtained prior approval from Teddy's owner]
Don’t be fooled by Teddy’s cute and cheeful appearance, this 7-year old dog got attitude!
It took me three attempts to get him turn around, and he even refused to answer one of my questions! Well, ok, I admit, this is a political question, and I might not be able to answer if I was being asked.
Here is how it went:
Me: Hey, Teddy… COME ON! your mom and dad want me to have a chat with you. Can you PLEASEEEEEE turn around?
(that’s my 3rd attempt – finally, he turned around and looked at me without saying a word.)
Me: Do you like daddy more?
(Teddy gave me a naughty smile)
Teddy: I am not gonna discuss that.
Me: It’s ok, you can tell me.
Teddy: Nope, I am not telling you.
Me: Is that because you worry that mommy and daddy will get upset with your answer?
(I was trying to have him open up)
Teddy: Nope, not telling.
(… and of course, I failed. What a smart dog! )
May be you can ask for Teddy’s advice if your girlfriend asks who you’d save if both her and your mom fall into deep water.
Thanks to Stitch, I became a pet communicator!
Stitch and I had an “on-line relationship” four years ago.
I went on a Chihuahua forum and found an owner given away a baby chi. On the little web cam thumbnail, I saw a tiny innocent pooch. Without second thoughts, I ring up the owner and took it home. I still remember holding her for the first time – she was only the size of my palm, at 2 months.
Stitch and I been through ups and downs. She was always there for me, and I have poured my heart for this little girl. My animal communications teacher said that all pets / animals are here for a reason – to teach us. This little girl has definitely taught me a lot, and she is also the reason why I got into pet communications.
Thanks, Stitch. xoxo.
