Animal Communicator - Dr. Kim Odgen

July 22, 2008 by admin  
Filed under Dr. Kim Odgen

Do you love your animal companions and sometimes wish you could better understand what they are feeling or thinking? Do you have questions about their behavior, health or emotional state?

People with these types of questions often consult an Animal Communicator.

Through the simple processes of concentration and love, Kim Ogden-Avrutik, Dr.P.H. uses her intuitive ability to pose your questions or concerns to the animal. She will hear what the animal is saying, feel what the animal is feeling, or see what the animal is seeing.

Dr. Kim then discusses this response with the human companion. Keeping in mind that animals are spiritual beings, just as we are, they often enjoy sharing their insights, wisdom, concerns or viewpoints with us. With this in mind, sessions may cover diverse subjects, including:

Learning if your animal is happy

Resolving behavior problems including litterbox & housetraining mishaps

Overcoming multiple animal household concerns

Discovering how you & your animal can help each other on this life-path

Helping animals deal with travel or a move

Dr. Kim has helped animals and their human companions throughout the world. Species communicated with have included, but not been limited to the following: cats, dogs, horses, rabbits, birds, fish, and lizards. All creatures including those in the human species can benefit from good, honest, wholesome, non-judgmental communication.

Dr. Kim’s book Ask the Animals: Life Lessons Learned as an Animal Communicator is published by Lantern Books.

Elk Relays Message Through Pet Psychic

July 20, 2008 by admin  
Filed under Articles

In the course of working with many different pet psychics and intuitive animal communicators I’ve heard some pretty amazing stories. This is one of them.

Jean Connelley was one of my favorite pet psychics. She was a little, roly poly woman who was completely in tune with animals all over the world. She told me this story. She said thought it was the craziest thing she ever heard but that it happened.

I had asked Jean to check out my dog Daphne and in the course of the conversation Jean asked me if I wanted to hear tone of the craziest thing that had happened to her as a pet psychic. I told her absolutely – pet psychics have told me some of the most fascinating stories I’ve ever heard.

She said she had gotten a call from a friend of hers. The friend was on vacation with her grandson and was calling from the side of a road in Montana be cause she knew Jean was a pet psychic and thought she might be able to help.

She told Jean that her grandson, who was about eight years old, had been standing in front of a barbed wire fence next to the road staring face to face with a large bull elk directly on other side of the fence. It had been going on for fifteen minutes. They were both just standing there staring at each other. She was getting freaked out and wanted to know if Jean could find out what was going on.

Jean said she managed to get in contact with the elk and it told her an amazing story. It said that it had a message for the little boy – and the message was from a whale.

The message was – her grandson should become a marine biologist.

Jean said as crazy as it sounded she relayed the message to her friend and asked her if she could make any sense of what the elk had told her.

Jean’s friend told her that it was incredible because three week previous to the meeting she had taken the boy to the beach in San Diego. The boy had seen whales there for the first time and had spent hours staring at them in the ocean. They then went to Sea World and the captive whales and dolphins had come up to the boy as he sat during the show and looked directly at him. She thought at the time it was very strange as did the animals keepers, but she didn’t think anything more of it – until Jean had passed along the elk’s message.

Now it seemed to make sense. The little boy had spoken about nothing but whales since he had seen them from the beach and had come into closer contact at Sea World.

I asked Jean what she thought of the situation and she said she thought it was as crazy as anyone but that was what the elk had told her.

I asked her how she managed to contact the elk and she said that pet psychics can, as best as I can describe it, tap into a world wide net like the web without computers. Apparently distance makes no difference. May the force be with you.

Jean told me that this happened several years ago and that the boy is now pursuing a career in marine Biology. Go figure.

Believe it or not, pet psychics say the darndest things.

Pet Psychics - Dr. Doolittle Is In

July 20, 2008 by admin  
Filed under Dr. Kim Odgen

We had just finished making a musical CD involving Koko the lowland Gorilla who communicates through sign language and were looking for a pet psychic to see if we could involve other animals in music projects.

Most people never come into contact with a pet sychic much less ending up working with one to create music with animals. I didn’t always believe in pet psychics, or any psychics for that matter. When we first started working with Dr. Ogden my opinion of any psychic, much less a pet psychic was Dionne Warwick’s Psychic Network, cold reading and 976 numbers.

After I met and worked with pet psychic Dr. Kim Ogden my beliefs and attitude regarding pet psychics and the actuality of communicating with animals did a one hundred and eighty degree turnaround.

I found pet psychic/intuitive animal communicator Dr. Kim Ogden on World News Tonight. I called her and asked her if she thought she’d be able to act as a translator to see if we could involve pets in the creative musical process. She said yes on both counts.

In the six months we worked together on the CD I experienced some amazing revelations regarding pet psychics and communicating with animals. Aside from the fact we ended up creating a CD for dogs that dogs love – and helped us create. I learned things that I would not have thought possible regarding animals and how you can really communicate with them in far deeper ways than you would think possible.

Dr. Kim introduced us to a basic course in how animals think and some of the things that can be done using the services and talents of a pet psychic.

We learned that sometimes it’s necessary to make “deals” with animals such as – if you don’t stop chewing holes in the fence we’re going to have to send you back to the shelter – we don’t want to but that’s how it will have to be unless we can come to this arrangement. It sounds strange but I saw it happen many times when working with Dr. Kim and shelter animals. I even heard of people using pet psychics to make deals with termites to get them to leave a house they had infested.

We also found out that a pet’s name is extremely important to the animal’s physical wellbeing and relationship with its family. I saw Dr. Kim communicate names change desires – and the positive results in pets from dogs to parrots to mountain lions (yes, a mountain lion).

We now use pet psychics and intuitive animal communicators for many of our projects and for any problems we have with our own pets. We even advise animal shelters and rescues to use the services of animal communicators and pet psychics to help them adopt out animals and reduce the recidivism on returns and escapes.Pet psychics are people that can be as effective as any vet or animal psychiatrist – sometimes even more effective.

So before you return an animal to the pound because you can’t get them to stop chewing or any other problem you might like to try using the services of a pet psychic to find out what the problem is before you take any precipitous actions you might regret.

Sometimes all you need is someone who speaks the language – whether it’s dog or cat or parrot or rabbit the pet psychic fills the bill. There are thousands of pet psychics all over the country who would be more than happy to help you decipher messages from your best friends no matter what they are. You don’t even have to be in the same city. Pet psychics seem to work on an internet that doesn’t need computers.

If you need some help right now get in touch with Dr. Kim Ogden. www.kimogden.com.
She’s helped a lot people and animals that I know of – maybe she can help you and your pet.

Dr. Doolittle - for real.

Lions & Tigers & Bears

Lions and Tigers and Bears.
That was the local scuttlebutt. The guy up the hill who owned a soft drink company had his living room set up to hold large cats. Like at the zoo. He supposedly brought them home on weekends. I had almost forgotten about the whole thing when one of his company trucks rumbled past our house. It was something to behold. A brand new Dodge stretch pickup with double rear axles and what sounded like glass packs. It was totally tricked out in his company’s colors done in pearl-flaked electric metal pastels tastefully accented by three or four square yards of chrome. A large chrome-plated cage and padlock sat in the bed of the truck. It was empty.
Lions and Tigers and Bears.

Now that I had actually seen evidence of the possibility of large carnivores spending their weekends in the neighborhood, I hoped that Raymar of the canyon had his security down pat. I could just imagine our neighbors going down to their garden to pick some Walla berries and finding a Siberian tiger wallowing in the catnip, but nothing happened.
A week later we had some friends over for dinner. They were terminally trendy Melrose Avenue flatlanders not into the rusticness of Laurel Canyon.
“I don’t know how you can stay up here all the time,” said Gavin. “It’s so, so — quiet.”
“Yup,” I nodded my head.
“I mean we’ve been here for almost an hour and nothing interesting has happened.”
“Precisely. That’s why we like it up here.”
He turned and smiled smarmily, “That may be fine for you, but I need a minimum of one major bizarre occurrence a day or I’m not a happy camper. You just can’t find that here, too quiet.”
“It has its moments,” I said.
We walked out to the carport to fire up the old Weber. Gavin was going on about no matter how beautiful it was up here, it was too darn dull.
“Tell me, just for the record. Does anything ever happen up here?”
I was getting a tad tired of Gavin’s canyon knocking, good-natured as it was. I was just about to zap him with a rapier-like canyonesque retort when the canyon itself answered him — right on cue.
Lions and Tigers and Bears.
You could feel the throb of the big engine through your feet and see the glare from the chrome all the way up from Grandview. A long snout poked out from behind the Hibiscus bushes and started to make the turn. Gavin stopped in mid-sentence and stared. I stopped and stared. It was a large metal-flake blue shark’s nose. Apparently Raymar had more than one kind of truck. In addition to being tricked out, this one was built in the shape of a twenty foot bluish shark. Right behind the dorsal fin was a big chrome cage. There was a large black panther pacing back and forth in the cage. The shark finished its turn and rumbled majestically past the carport. The panther stared directly into Gavin’s eyes, curled back its lips and snarled — ten feet from his face. The carport reverberated. Then it was gone. Shark, cage and panther disappearing in a cloud of dust on their way down the hill.
Gavin turned around, his eyes as big as the panther’s. “D-D-Did you see that?”
“See what?” I was enjoying this immensely.
“The Lion!”
“Panther,” I said. I could tell that Gavin hadn’t been a cat person before this but he was now.
“Does this happen very often?”
“Just weekends and holidays.”
“Does anything else like this ever happen?””” he asked, the look of epiphnized amazement still on his face.
“You’d be surprised. Light the charcoal will you? I’m going in and marinate the chicken.”
As I walked into the kitchen Gavin yelled, “So you think there might be any places for rent around here? We have to move in September. Maybe we’ll check out some places in Laurel Canyon.”
“I know what you mean.” I could tell that Gavin hadn’t been a canyon person before, but he was now,
Lion and Tigers and Bears.
And Laurel Canyon.

Pet psychic Dr. Kim

July 18, 2008 by admin  
Filed under Dr. Kim Odgen

Dr Kim OdgenWe used a pet psychic in a process where she acted as a translator between us and dogs to create a musical CD that dogs liked.

I never would have been aware of this if I hadn’t started working with pet psychic Dr. Kim Ogden. It didn’t start out with the idea of helping shelters adopt out animals but came out of a musical process in which we used the talents and services of Dr. Kim.

It went like this. We gave Dr. Kim a CD of different kinds of music that she would take into shelters (and her private consultation) and play for the dogs. Then she would take notes on the dog’s responses and send them to us to use in creating our music.

We had never worked with a pet psychic before so the whole process was quite an education for us - and Dr. Kim. What relates to this article was kind of a byproduct of the musical process and the manner in which Dr. Kim communicates with animals.

The process she uses is quite simple. She asks the name of the animal and precisely what you would like to know. She then communicates with the animal and writes down the information she receives. She then gives you the paper and the discussion on what begins.

When we were writing the songs for the CD Dr. Kim literally put together focus groups of dogs (over two hundred) to test out the music genres and lyric content. She generally did this at the shelters she worked with questioning groups of from ten to twelve dogs at a time. She then would call me with the information she had gained and we in turn would use the info to write and produce the songs.

After one session I asked Dr. Kim for that week’s information. She told me that she hadn’t had a chance to test out the music because she had only talked with four dogs.

I asked her how come. She told they got into talking about other stuff.

Apparently the shelter had asked Dr. Kim to communicate with the four most difficult to adopt out animals. In the process Dr. Kim left the pieces of paper she had written the dogs comments on at the shelter and forgot about them.

Three weeks later I got a letter from the shelter thanking Dr. Kim for helping them adopt out the dogs she had spoken to. The shelter had used the information that Dr. Kim had written down and adopted the dogs out with no problem based on that information.

The dog I remember in particular was one that had been adopted three times and returned three times as incorrigible. The animal had been given to families three times. Dr. Kim learned that for whatever reason, the dog wanted to be with a single, white male. As soon as it was given to a single, white male it happily stayed adopted. The people at the shelter were amazed at how a pet psychic could make such a huge difference in how successfully their dogs were adopted. They now employ pet psychics on a regular basis to help make the adoption process far more successful than it has ever been.

When doing interviews we now advise shelters to use pet psychics to help in their adoptions and to find out more about the animals that come into their care.

We started out using a pet psychic to help us create music and ended up discovering a way to help animals find forever homes. It is a very cool thing.

Talk to your shelter about trying it out. There are pet psychics and intuitive animal communicators all over the country so finding one for your local shelter should be no problem at all

Pet psychics. You gotta love ‘em and the animals do too.

A Parrot’s Song - I’m A Green Chicken

July 17, 2008 by admin  
Filed under The Singing Parrot

It was sort of surreal. We were going into the studio to record a double yellow head Amazon parrot named Carla and try to turn her into a singing star.

I first saw Carla in an article by Myra Tweti in the Los Angeles Times. What caught my eye was Carla’s signature phrase, “I’m A Green Chicken!” I’d been looking for a parrot with a snappy phrase for the past six months and Carla seemed to fit the ticket perfectly.

Music For Dogs I Am A Green Chicken

Is the lead off track of an extended play single to the Laurel Canyon Animal Company up and coming “Bird Beat” CD.

I’m A Green Chicken features the lyric and vocal talents of Carla Mitchell, a double yellow head Amazon parrot combined with the talents of the Laurel Canyon Animal Company. It’ s a lot of fun for bird lovers and non-bird lovers alike. Be careful or you’ll find yourself walking down the street singin “I’m a green chicken”

By a strange coincidence I ran into Myra at the Genesis Awards at the Beverly Hilton. I asked her if she could get me in touch with the parrot, rather the parrot’s guardian because I wanted to sign the parrot to our label. She said no problem, whipped out her cell phone hit the keys, introduced me to Carla’s owner and handed me the phone.

Three days later we made arrangements to sign recording contracts and bring Carla into our studio to record her for a song we had written specifically for her. (That’s right, we did sign her to a recording contract)

I asked Laurie, Carla’s guardian, if there was anything we could do to make the studio more comfortable for Carla. Divas are divas. You know, small room. Big room. Hot, cold, champagne. . . whatever.

Laurie said, “A brunette would be good.”

“A brunette?!” I said, somewhat startled. “You mean a hooker?”

Laurie said. “No a brunette. Carla is very comfortable when she’s sitting on a brunette’s shoulder. It practically guarantees her launching into her repertoire.”

So here we were in our studio in Topanga getting ready to record an Amazon parrot named Carla. We had Amber, our brunette ready in front of the microphone. If was great that Amber wasn’t afraid to let Carla sit on her shoulder. She was the only brunette we could find on short notice who wasn’t afraid of a parrot on her shoulder. Actually she a Carla got along really well.

We set up the recording and video equipment, Laurie put Carla on Amber’s shoulder and the session began.

We waited. Then we waited some more. After about ten minutes of the sounds of silence Laurie said, “She likes Judy Garland. If we a sing Judy Garland song she’ll probably start singing her head off.

“How about Over The Rainbow?” I asked.

“Carla loves it”

So there we were, all of us singing “Somewhere Over The Rainbow” to the green and yellow parrot sitting very happily on Amber’s shoulder. It was uber stupid – and fun. After the fifth round of Over The Rainbow” Carla got loose enough and started singing her heart out directly into the microphone

We got our “Green Chicken” vocals from Carla in one take. She was good. The photo was taken at the exact moment Carla sang, ‘Zippidee Doo Dah! I’m a Green Chicken!”

“I’m A Green Chicken” turned into (what I consider) a very good recording. Carla ended up singing the lead vocal in the chorus of the song and also added some very south of the border ai. ai. ai’s in the vamp.

After we released ‘I’m A Green Chicken” I ended up lipsyncing a duet with Carla in the back room of the Culver City American Legion Hall for the West L.A. Bird club.

But that’s another story.

Dog That Name

Dog That Name
(Canyon Moment #2)

“From now on, I won’t refer to people by their dog’s names. I’ll refer to people by their own names.”
We had taken a break from recording to walk the dogs. They were making so much noise we couldn’t do vocals anyway.

“It’s really strange.” I was telling Jeremiah as we walked up towards Grandview.

“What’s that?” he said craning his head to watch two blue jays going ballistic on a squirrel in a eucalyptus tree at the top of the hill.

“It’s about the dogs.”
“The dogs?”

“Yeah, the dogs — in the canyon. I never thought about it until just now when you asked me about my neighbor.”

“What does your neighbor have to do with the dogs in the canyon?”

“It just came to me. I know the names of my neighbor’s dogs better than I know the names of my neighbors. When someone asks me who that person down the street is, I say, “That’s Bartok’s owner. When I think about it, everyone up here knows everyone else by their dog’s names. If you meet someone walking their dog, the first thing both of you do is — introduce your dogs
.
“Seems reasonable to me,” Jeremiah said, “I like my animals better than most of my friends.”

“I mean really! Every morning I walk Daphne around the hill. Every morning I meet this guy walking his dog Lucy. Every morning we greet each other. I say, “Hello, Lucy.” He says, “Hello, Daphne. We talk for a while then he says, “Good bye, Daphne,” and I say, “ Good bye, Lucy.” I don’t remember his name. He doesn’t remember my name. We know our dog’s names three generations back.

“This happens all the time!” I was starting to get worked up. “I mean it’s not just Lucy! It’s Neutron, and C-dog, and Sheldon, and Wilson, and Annie, and Rosy, and E-Z, and Buck Shot, and the twins, and. . . . !” I was really getting into the metaphysical possibilities of calling people by their dog’s names, not to mention the fact I was starting to hyperventillate when a car horn brought me back to Earth.

Webster (my mostly miniature Schnauzer) chose to bring my epiphany to an abrupt end by choosing the middle of Yucca Trail as fitting and comfortable place to make his morning deposit — directly in front of a Jeep Cherokee. I grabbed Webster, collected the little speed bump he had left in the middle of the road, yelled at Jeremiah to get Daphne away from the poison oak and waved the Jeep on.

“Good thing Webster pooped when he did, you were starting to lose it with that dog name thing,” Jeremiah said as he got Daphne in tow. “I think we’ve been in the studio too long.

“Amen,” I replied, “That’s probably it. I won’t do that again. I promise.”

We were standing at the top of the hill. We watched the Cherokee turn around and head slowly back towards us.

She’s lost. I can tell by the look on her face,” I said, “She’s gonna ask for directions.”

Sure enough, the Jeep rolled to a stop. The driver leaned over, rolled down the window and asked us if we knew where a certain address was. According to the numbers, it should have been right down the street. I didn’t have a clue as to where the place was. She said she’d been up and down the street for twenty minutes and couldn’t find it. She had asked three other people and they didn’t know either. I felt sorry for her she was so upset. Sometimes up here in the canyon you never find the address.

Then I had a brainstorm!

“By any chance do these people have a dog?”

“Why yes they do.” she said.

“Would you happen to know it’s name?”

“Bandit.”

“Bingo,” I said with a smile. “Around the curve. It’s the fourth house on the left. Park right behind the black Camarro.”

She thanked me and drove off towards Bandit’s house. I turned to say something to Jeremiah but he was already headed down the hill towards the studio shaking his head and talking to the dogs. . .

Pink Dolphins

Filed under Pink Dolphins

Pink Dolphins. They’re for real and they’re pink. They live in the rainforests of the Amazon and Orinoco basins. They’re the oldest form of toothed whale. They’re enchanted. We made a musical CD with them with the help of several animal communicators.

We had wanted to do an album about dolphins for several years. I first learned about the pink freshwater dolphins of the rain forest when I was doing an interview on NPR. I told my partner Dana about them. We decided they were the next animal we were going attempt to involve in the musical creative process.

Music For Dogs Music from the Pink Dolphins

The Laurel Canyon Animal Company - creators of Songs To Make Dogs Happy - the first musical CD for dogs approved by dogs has now created-Music From The Pink Dolphins.

Join us on a journey up the Amazon past the Meeting of the Waters, past Manaus, past the Jaguars in the night to the rain forests of Peru to meet the Pink River Dolphins. To the local people they are “Botos”"- shape-shifters, who in the guise of human desire, can claim your soul and take you to the Encante, an enchanted underwater world. Hear the messages they have shared with us through our translators. Learn the legends that will astound you as they did us!

We had used an animal communicator on a previous musical project with dogs that had been successful and we wanted to try the same process with theses dolphins. Who, I admit have a certain mystical attraction.

We contacted Penelope Smith, one of the leading animal communicators in the world specializing in dolphins. We asked Penelope if she could act as a translator between us and the dolphins. It takes a certain type of communicator to successfully deal with the musical aspects of this type of work. She said yes so she contacted the dolphins relayed many of what we called “transmissions”. These were answers to questions we asked in relationship to the dolphins creating music with us. Music From The Pink Dolphins was the end result

We received an amazing amount of instructions through these transmissions and based about one third of the album on this information as translated through Penelope

Another third of the content of the CD was based on an amazing book called “Journey of the Pink Dolphins” by Sy Montgomery. Sy graciously helped us with many aspects of the writing and gave us a great “I‘ve been there” point of view. We loosely used Sy’s book as a guide for parts of the CD. (check Sy out on Interesting Links)

The final third of the CD was influenced by Roxanne Kremer – the founder of I.S.P.T.R (the International Society For The Preservation Of the Tropical Rainforest). It was like meeting Indiana Jones. Roxanne was the person who coached us in the spiritual and physical aspects of the rainforest and the pink dolphins. Roxanne has Dolphin Corners, a non-invasive research facility on the Rio Yarapa river in Peru devoted entirely to the preservation of the pink dolphins and the tropical rain forest and indigenous peoples.

We even had Roxanne lend us instruments she got from the Shaman of the Cat People who live next to her facility. It was a fascinating look into the rain forest and the heart of the whale.

We also used the services of another dolphin communicator, Eros Christos who is based in Hawaii. Eros corroborated all of the main points of Penelope’s translations.

I learned about the geology of the Americas, the Amazon, Cetaceans in general, Pink Dolphins in specific and so many strange and wonderful things that I could post every day for the next month and not repeat anything.

It was one of the most intense musical experiences I ever encountered. I’ll have to post a few more of the stories connected with this project

Until the next post
