To Reach my front door, of course. There was a bit of commotion outside, and
several cats were either an acting entourage or in pursuit of a gorgeous red
hen. My front door was open, she walked right into my trailer and then flew to
the kitchen sink. I turned the water on
for her and she drank and had a lovely little bath. She was quite at home. I
spoke to the neighbors about Ms. Red Hen, and no one knew exactly where she
hailed from. It was quite a blessing to
entertain her for a while. A good home
was found for her.

The Message of the Red
Hen
The work I do is my
path. I like the idea of being part of a
collective or a group. The message had
been quite clear that I must climb this hill alone and take creative control of
my life. When I speak of a psychic sisterhood,
I am referring to those on a similar path.
I do have a soul group that I have traveled through time with. This time it is up to me to expand, go it alone,
and then reunite with others.
When animals do some
unexplained and anomalous things, they bear a message. I think that this chapter is all about the
animal messengers in my life as well as for others.
Fluffy white cat
As a three-year-old, I
remember a gorgeous white fluffy cat. She walked up to me and brushed my leg,
but she would not allow me to pet her. She played “hide and seek:”
instead. My mother was at a luncheon
with other women, and they were dinning outside. I remember people filming this
incident and I even think I remember my mother owning a video called “the
cat”. This cat climbed a tree in front
of me and then would disappear and reappear.
For me it was the beginning of a lifelong love of cats. My parents would not allow me to have a cat
due to my asthma. As an adult, I had
many cats in my life and my allergy subsided over time. I could spend an hour
or two on each cat I ever owned or each cat that owned me. There were many tears when they parted and
yet the next cat was always just around the corner. They are magical and quite psychic. They express an extremely high level of love
and self-sacrifice. They wait patiently
for my crossing over to see them again. There is a cat heaven.
Lucky Ducky encounter
When I was five, I won
a duck at the fair. My big brother
handed me a nickel to throw in a plate.
There was a huge problem; I could not see the plate. In my frustration I just threw that nickel
hard and far. It must have bounced off
something because it landed perfectly in a plate. My brother could not manage landing a nickel
in a plate and after the nice lady handed me a carton with my duck inside, we
decided to call it a day. I had won a
prize that looked like a little ball of yellow fluff. I believed it was a girl and named it Kim. We
dug a hole up outside with an old used bathing tub as the pond. We put stones
at one end so Kim could get easily out. Then my dad built a coup for Kim out of
chicken wire. Kim grew to be an exceptionally large white feathered adult. It
was part of the family and we just loved it. One day when I was in kindergarten my parents
took Kim to the park and let it go.
Ducks bond with people and I really missed it. Many years later I had a dream about
Kim. He was wearing a Scottish tam and
had a tartan scarf around his neck. I cannot tell you which clan it
represented. Kim was allowing me to meet
the misses and all the little ducks that had waddled into the forefront. Kim loved being a father and being part of a
family. My parents had done the right
thing. That was not the only dream I would have of my friend. I had another dream where Kim was in a barn
with a group of animals that said, “I love you Nancy”’ There were all kinds of
animals from horses to dogs and birds and of course ducks. All the small
kindnesses I had shown to animals over the years were not forgotten nor was
anything meaningless. They were saying that
these little things add up in a big way.
What About Fish?
My grandpa took me
fishing. Our family had rented a hotel
room and a motorboat. We went to Lake Havasupai and most of the trip was
wonderful. I loved the lake and being in the speedboat. Grandpa helped me put a
hook on the end of the line and cast the line behind the boat. Suddenly there was a fish on the line, and I
was reeling it in when I connected with it.
I saw the look of fear in its eyes and the pain. I did not enjoy that
one bit. I asked my grandpa to please let it go but I had the feeling that he
was sad that I was sad. There would be
no more fishing trips for me. Fish are just horrified, and they do suffer. I really should join Peta.
Dolphin encounter
I only was able to feed
the Dolphin at Sea World. I was scared
as the Dolphin opened its mouth very wide and it had long sharp teeth. I was amazed
how big that mouth was, but I dropped in my offering of little fish. I touched its skin and there was a cold
rubbery feel to that skin, and it did not move away for a few moments. I did not know which of the many dolphins I
had just fed. I was looking through a window and I noticed one dolphin swimming
past the window and circling back around to look at me. It was a brief encounter but a lasting
one. They are so intelligent, and they
should not be at Sea World. They deserve
their freedom just like many higher order animals do.
Eagle Encounter
John Denver would be a
poor man if he never saw an eagle fly. I
have seen then fly over many times but until one October Day I had never seen
one up close and had true eye contact.
My little puppy Goldie had found a trail that went to the town
dump. We lived in Myton, Utah for a
short while. That is where my little red
hen experience happened, and more animals will show up from Myton later in this
chapter. The eagle was perched on a low
limb of a tree right next to the dump. I
was walking behind my puppy, but she took off running to all those wonderful
garbage smells. I tried to hurry
up. Suddenly, in a second, I was eye to
eye with a bald eagle. It spread its wings and looked like about 8 feet of span
to me. We had a moment. I looked at her and she looked me right in
the eye and she looked at Goldie too.
She saw the connection between my dog and me. With one big whoosh she lifted into the air
and took off. It was scary and thrilling all at one time. There was a great
deal of intelligence there with that Condor Sized eagle. That is the worry that
many country folks face. Living in a small rural town, pets become prey. Most people don’t even know the fate of their
little doggies and kitties. The eagles
and the coyotes are going to look for easy prey and they are successful many
times.
Ferret Encounter and Smokey
Once again, I opened my front door, and a ferret ran in the door and peed in the corner and then hid under my couch. Ferrets have a musky smell. We decided to place an add somewhere so the owner could find us. The owner did show up a day later. He explained that he had been knocking on doors. I do not want a ferret. Another day we had a huge gray tom cat come in the door. We offered him water and food. That was it. He adopted us. Smokey had an abscess on his lip. I took him to the vet and the vet gave Smokey penicillin. The blood test revealed Smokey to have feline aides. I ask the vet if I should put him down? When I said that; Smokey jumped into my lap and started to hug me. The vet and I laughed. Smokey was our best cat. You have heard the saying: you can't herd cats? Yes, well Smokey could herd them. He was the alpha male. I would ask Smokey to round up the two other female cats fir dinner and he would do that. Smokey would knock at the door of my home standing behind both cats. If they attempted to escape his round up he would get on top of them and grab their neck. It was amazing. He could do things I never saw another cat do. Smokey offered advice to me on several life situations I was in. He also had an arrangement with our next door neighbor in Phoenix. I would let Smokey out at night and the neighbor was up early and knocked on the door to let Smokey back inside. This routine was on going for quite a while until it suddenly stopped.
Smokey remained with us for about 5 more years
and then said goodbye. He said goodbye to my son and to me. He just disappeared. We think he went off to die on his own
terms. I felt Smokey jump on my bed. That means that he was in spirit form. It was also confirmation that he had transitioned to the cat haven.
Pigeon, Newfoundland,
and Sparrow and Nightingale
My two boys brought
home strays all the time. This bright
Phoenix morning they brought home a pigeon.
We took it to the vet because its wing was broken. The boys nursed it back to health and let it
go. 3-year-old Jason brought home a huge Newfoundland. I am not 100% on the
breed. It was a big shaggy dog. A neighbor
let us know that Jason was with this dog at the edge of a big canal. The dog
would jump in to stay cool. We had to
take it to a shelter to keep Jason in the yard.
Then there was a sparrow that I brought home and hand fed. It started flying and we took it to the
sparrow shelter. A lady had a back yard sanctuary
for all kinds of birds. It was good to
know her. There were many more birds that found refuge with her.
Just like a Disney movie, these creatures would come visit and the birds sang to me, and the other creatures seem to say words sometimes like “hello”. A nightingale messenger: I was pregnant with Zak (the big guy with a sparrow on this finger). I had a bad night of tossing and turning and then about 6 AM the most lovely song bird started singing at the bed room window. There was also a big bull frog in our yard that also started to croaking. Within moments there was a rooster crowing as well. I call this Goddess Energy. About 6:15 AM I felt like the baby head butted me. There was a sharp pain in my lower pelvis floor. My then husband woke up. We decided to drive to the hospital. My birth was a planned C section but it had been planned for the 30th. It was the 29th and the doctor had to cancel all his morning appointments. Years later I was spending the night with a friend when she went into labor. There was a rush of energy that was undeniable. I woke up about 2 AM and told her that I could not sleep due to all the goddess energy. About 4 AM she went into labor.
I am a pet psychic too. I love speaking with pets. I had one lady who I visited on a regular basis. She would not leave the house with out her pit bull. To take her shopping I had to put Emma in the front seat with me on a blanket. The pit bull, Emma and I talked telepathically on these trips. We went thru a hamburger drive thru and Emma said that she wanted a hamburger with everything, but she did not like the fries. She said that she like potatoes but not French fries. I asked her owner about all this, and it was accurate. This dog liked cheese burgers with everything but not the fries. She was fond of the potato pancakes that her owner would sometimes make. She especially minded the oil used to fry the fries. She had a sophisticated palate and she was a precise communicator.
During those years of social work, I was like
Long Island Medium sometimes having conversations with the pets and also loved
ones. I would say: Is your father passed
over? I had to ask because the loved one would be standing there grinning.
Since most of my
clients had a mental health diagnosis, I wondered if everything I said seemed normal? I always fit in well with this group of people.
Dogs will often spill the beans on their owners. A dog might show me an image of their owner
crying or breaking things. Dogs and
horses are truthful and better than parrots at telling stories. Animals show with emotions and all the senses rather than using words. It is a very accurate way of communicating because we often say words fall short and meanings get lost in translation. Also animals have no filter. Be cognizant about that. I believe a good pet psychic could solve a
murder mystery just like James Stewart in Rear Window.
