LOL. Too true Mr. Church. I am well aware that animals can lie although I have only been lied to once by a cat who promised to be better at taking meds. I have learned that their personalities are very child like giving me tremendous insight on how to deal with behavioral problems. This communication was not a "conversational type" communication. AC also involves feeling the animal's actual emotions, receiving pictures that they send as well as medical intuition. ( I feel physical symptoms of ill animals that I communicate with). Upon squeaking the toy, I immediately felt fear and defense kick in on my Dusty. He communicated with me his protective instinct and the look on his face was undeniable. What I don't understand is why, after arriving on the scene of the squeaking, does he not physically see that I'm not hurting another ferret and cease attack. Hmmmmmmmm.
