I listen to the silence
between the words.
For fifteen years I've been receiving information from animals that their humans couldn't have told me. Not feelings or general impressions — specific details. The blue blanket. The cedar smell. The squeak of a particular door handle.
I work with living animals, animals in transition, and animals who have passed. I work with horses who won't load, dogs who won't eat, cats who visit at 3 a.m., and families who need one more conversation.
The things only they could know.
Every story below contains at least one detail that no human could have told me.
Biscuit
Golden Retriever, 6 yrs
“She told me Biscuit was worried about the change in my morning routine. I'd switched jobs three weeks earlier and hadn't told anyone. Biscuit had started refusing breakfast at exactly the same time.”
Meredith Calloway
Portland, OR
Pepper
Border Collie mix
“Your dog wants you to know the blue blanket matters. Don't wash it.”
Theresa Nguyen
Austin, TX
Nova
Quarter Horse, 11 yrs
“My mare Nova has refused every trailer since the barn fire in 2022. After one session, Whisper described the exact smell she associates with the memory — burnt cedar and wet hay. We burned cedar incense near the trailer for two weeks. She loaded on the third attempt.”
Dana Whitfield
Bozeman, MT
Henry
Orange tabby cat
“She knew his name was Henry even though I never said it. She knew he liked to sit on the left side of the couch.”
Priya Anand
Chicago, IL
From recent sessions —
“Your dog wants you to know the blue blanket matters. Don't wash it.”
“She is not angry. She is afraid you are angry with her.”
“He watches the window at 4pm because that is when you used to come home.”
“The new food hurts her teeth on the left side.”
“He knows about the conversation in the kitchen. He stayed outside on purpose.”
“She says the word she hears most often is 'fine.' She doesn't believe it.”
“He wants to be buried near the apple tree, not the fence.”
“The smell of that soap — the yellow one — makes her feel safe.”

They don't always leave when
we think they do.
Lola
Rescued Greyhound, 4 yrs
“Our rescue greyhound Lola paced from 2 to 4 a.m. every night for seven months. Vets found nothing. Whisper said she was watching something at the back fence — a memory, not a real threat. She described a specific tree. There is a dead oak exactly where she paces.”
Carrie Ostrowski
Nashville, TN
Clover
Tortoiseshell cat, passed 2024
“She said my cat visits the foot of the bed because she's worried I still haven't eaten dinner before 9pm. She was right. I hadn't. I still don't.”
Felicity Drummond
Seattle, WA
Remy
Labrador mix, 5 yrs
“My dog Remy stopped eating the week my marriage ended. I hadn't told anyone yet — not even my mother. Whisper described him as carrying a heaviness in his chest that wasn't his. That sentence broke me open in the best way.”
Jasmine Reyes
Albuquerque, NM
Fig
Holland Lop rabbit
“She described the exact sound of the door handle my rabbit hates. A specific squeak. I replaced it that afternoon.”
Becca Thornton
Denver, CO

The specificity is the proof.
Not feelings. Not impressions. Exact colors, exact smells, exact sounds.
Milo
Domestic shorthair, 3 yrs
“Three different vets. Thousands of dollars. Whisper said in the first five minutes: he doesn't like the texture of his current food — specifically the gel coating. We switched to a different brand. The vomiting stopped.”
Adriana Kowalski
Philadelphia, PA
Atlas
Thoroughbred, 9 yrs
“She said my horse was carrying grief for the mare in the next stall who passed last winter. She described the color of that mare's blanket. It was burgundy. I hadn't mentioned her at all.”
Lauren Kimball
Lexington, KY
Bruno
German Shepherd mix
“My dog told her he was scared of the new baby — not the baby, but the smell of the hospital on us when we came home. That one detail changed everything.”
Sofia Marchetti
Boston, MA
Jasper
Siamese mix, passed 2025
“She connected with my cat who passed six months ago. She described the exact position he used to sleep — tucked under my right arm. No one knew that.”
Nadia Chen
