This work has reached the exceptional level

Fairydancer sent this link to me as I am not currently active on site.
May I say that this article is very clearly written? You make your case in an easy to understand manner.
I am in full agreement with your comments because I am a working medium and have had all too many experiences with animals which I can only put down to my Spiritual contacts working to bring me the animal's feelings and thoughts.
I would like to fan you for the approaching time when I can return to active participation in Fanstoryland and will be able to read more of your work.
Pat.

    Thanks so much Pat. I am so pleased that you found the article clearly written. I am especially happy given your own background and experience. How wonderful to be able to make your acquaintance. It would be great to read your work on the site. I have found that when I write about the psychic world as I have experienced it, for some folks on the site it's not horrible enough. Though I am sure you've 'heard' enough from your deceased clients to know that we don't need to enhance the horror they are experiencing by faking aspects of it for public consumption, there is still an element of the public that is used to the Hollywood versions of the paranormal. I hope to see your writing soon on the site again. I'll be looking for you my friend!!! Thanks so much for the excellent review. I much appreciate it. Warmest regards...Bev

Really great piece and a good reminder for people to not forget their pets are ALIVE creatures just like us and they want the same comforts etc. My animals have to be amongst the most spoilt that I know when it comes to love and attention lol :)

One little fix up:

Dawn called me for a second opinion because a Psychic who

-psychic doesn't need a capital letter

Really like the part where you say, while you'd never expect a human being to be neglected in favor of an animals care, I agree with taking responsibility for HAVING a pet and being prepared to pay for vet's etc as that is all part of the responsibility.

I can't help feel a little bit angry towards Dawn for this exact reason. While it comes across clearly that she does love her animals very much, it's obvious from your descriptions of her situation and home etc that she is NOT thinking of the animals as it's not fair on them to be locked in cages, that thought breaks my heart. If you do not have the time, space or money to care for a pet in full, do not get one - or at least don't go and get more.

Thanks for the really interesting read, I'll look forward to the one on canines and cancer as I've done quite a bit of research into that field myself :)

    Hi Veekz. I really appreciate very much your excellent and thorough review. I felt towards Dawn much the same way as you do; and, if I could have provided a home for Mugs, I would have. Thanks for pointing out the spag. I'll be sure to make that adjustment. Again, thanks so for much for your terrific review. Warm regards...Bev

I really enjoyed reading this.
I like how you have backed this up with some research.
I have heard of the idea of the soul of the world before, and your idea of a collective soul sounds similar.
Excellent write about an interesting subject - Cally :)

    I am too sweet. Alas, it's the folks that keep the animals just healthy enough that are the worst offenders to me. They do just the bare minimum for their animals without educating themselves on the inherent needs of each breed of dog they buy. Thanks so much for stopping by with your excellent, supportive review.

Your piece was well written: clear and coherent, giving examples and rationale for your point of view.
On a personal level, I was pleased to discover, as I read further in to the essay, that you were writing from the perspective of one who understands that animals have inate abilities to feel and communicate.
I do think you should also point out that they can read our body language and that we need to be aware of theirs, paying attention to trying to understand that they are perceiving a situation differently than we are and reacting accordingly.

one to two editorial nits:
900-square-foot house
Try a word other than 'frustratingly' (not really a word). It was frustrating to learnt that....
or just substitute 'sadly'.

Good piece.

    Thanks so much allinmyhead. This was part two of three essays planned; and in the first part I touched a little more on the behaviors you describe, I think. But, I sure appreciate your excellent suggestion and will consider a little more of what you pointed out in part 3. Also, thanks for getting me straightened out on the 900, thing. I knew it didn't look right but the old gray cells were not giving me the right information. I so appreciate your very complete and encouraging review. Warm regards...Bev

This is very interesting material, well-presented with a heart-touching case study. It's always good to see a blend of extrasensory and plain old common sense.

Wow! Some thing everyone needs to hear.
Good story, and heart-breaking too. People do need to remember what you said: be prepared to pay what it takes to take care of an animal you decide to take into your home.

A very involved piece. I enjoyed reading it.
You seem to definatley know your stuff and I wouldn`t feel right passing judgement on something I cannot claim to know anything about.
Although, I can relate to it. I love dogs and often hope and daydream about being best friends with one and sharing many adventures. lol
Thanks for writing this. It was a pleasure.

    Hi Dean AC. What a thoughful review! You have refrained from criticizing the aspects that you may not especially believe or relate to, which is in't always the case on this site, while managing to offer support and encouragement. It is actually not hard at all to learn to do animal communication of this type. A very good book on this is by Amelia Kinkade and is called Straight from the Horse's Mouth. It's an ability one can learn to cultivate, as we all are psychic to one degree or another. I wish you luck! Best wishes...Bev

Very well written. I have no doubt that animals communicate and intuit. But as with ESP and humans, it is a very difficult thing to measure. I enjoyed your story, but I am dismayed that this client owned not one, but three large dogs when she could ill afford to care for them. On the other hand, I've known more than a few people who have done the very same thing. Keep spreading the word about pet ownership and responsibility!

    Thanks so much iamwrite. I really do so appreciate your wonderful review. I know too many of the latter, people who force the dogs to fit into the their lives at the expense of the natural order of the animal kingdom. I suppose they feel a roof over the head and food, with short timed walks, is enough. I so appreciate your encouraging review. Blessings...Bev
