In this series we talk with pets, whose names have been changed, to see what they have to say. Here is an interesting pet psychic reading that we gave.

Jack, the bird, is pleased to communicate with pet psychics Greg Meyerhoff and Anne Salisbury.

Question: Why is my bird screaming and biting? He also has stopped wanting to learn any new words.

Anne & Greg: Jack is showing us an image of himself as a sophisticated old man. He would like to live life dining on a five-course meal with all the wine and sherry that goes with it. Then he would like to sit comfortably in the library, read a newspaper, have a cigar and enjoy his time in silence.

He wants to have as little conversation as possible. He wants to be quiet and simply “be.” He wants you all to do the same. Quiet sophistication is his preferred mindset. In his opinion, he feels that you are busy coming and going, and sometimes that doesn’t sit well with him.

Owners: Well, that is true. We both work and have busy lives.

Anne & Greg: Because you and Jack have a different approaches to life, what if you were to spend 10 minutes once a week, or more if possible, just sitting with him in silence? I know this an odd request given your bird is trained to talk, but that is what he would like. Actually, Jack would like to spend the whole day like that, but at least some time spent quietly together would be good for him. Can you do that?

Owners: Sure, we can do that.

Anne & Greg: So now that we have your commitment to something that is important to Jack, and Jack says he very much appreciates that, let’s ask him about learning some new words for you.

Well, I’m sorry to say that when we ask him about learning new words, he says, “That it is just too demanding of me. ‘Polly wants a cracker, Polly wants a cracker’ feels like a lot of pressure. I can’t take that.” Again, he just flashes us images that he wants to be calm.

Owner: We want him to talk more. But, Jack actually has a very calming affect on me. He makes me laugh, and that helps me calm down when I’ve had a hectic day.

Anne & Greg: The funny thing is that it looks as though you three are living in two different centuries. Jack is living at the end of the 1800s and early 1900s, and you two are living in the 21st century. It’s a different way of approaching life. It’s a matter of appreciating the eras within which you each want to live.

Owners: We know he likes to be with us, even though we are different from him, because he squawks to be near us when we are in the other room doing something.

Anne & Greg: Yes, he likes being with you. That is clear. And he also likes traveling with you, he says, because he enjoys your time together. He just feels as though you all are a bit demanding of him when you want him to “do” more. He just wants to “be” around with you without doing anything in particular. Again, see him as the old man sitting in a men’s club, falling asleep with the daily paper in his lap. No one is talking but everyone enjoys being together.

Owners: We understand. We enjoy being with him too.

Anne & Greg: So, it seems as though you are all coming to an agreement now. Jack is agreeing to appreciate you in your approach to life. He says he understands more about you now that you are showing him your preferred era. And on an energy level, you, too, are showing us that you are agreeing to appreciate Jack in his old fashioned ways and for the calming effect he has upon you. Is that true?

Owners: Yes, we appreciate him for who he is. That really makes sense.

Anne & Greg’s Summary: Every pet has a personality and view of life, which could be opposite from your own. Sometimes the differences between us can be too great, and that is hard on the relationship, such as a hyper pet living with sedentary owners. At other times we attract opposites in some ways so that we can learn from each other. In this age of busy activities, we can appreciate the reminder to go inside and relish the simple silence of “being” together.
