A Day in the Life of an Animal Communicator… A Diplomatic Approach

Henrietta is a chicken that lives by Jill’s back door. She’s a loner and would rather live close to Jill’s house rather than in the chicken coop with the other chickens. She doesn’t like to listen to the other chicken’s constant “tittle-tattle.” She considers it background noise and it irritates her. So rather than hanging out with the chickens, she lives by Jill’s back door. The problem with Henrietta’s choice of living arrangements is that she poops on Jill’s sidewalk and back porch.

The other day, Jill came out of the house just as a hawk was bearing down on Henrietta. The hawk considered Jill a threat and flew away. Henrietta is so grateful for Jill saving her life, that she is pooping even more on the sidewalk in front of Jill’s back door.

We talked to Henrietta and asked her to consider pooping by the compost pile rather than on the sidewalk and back porch. If she does so, her poop can be used for the good of the earth, as the plant food that Henrietta considers her poop to be. I told her that although she has the right idea, (Jill’s farm is organic) her gift is not as well received as she foresees it to be. I explained that when diplomats from other countries get together (similar to different species) they need to learn each other’s practices, customs and traditions beforehand. We don’t want to offend each other by using an inappropriate gesture or giving a “present” that in our culture represents a gift, but in other cultures our “gift” represents a “slap in the face.” 

Jill is also concerned that Henrietta has decided that her garage will be a good place to take up residence during the cold winter months. The other chickens will be in the warm green house for the winter. To keep her safe and warm, Jill intends to have Henrietta join the other chickens in the green house. Now, it’s a big green house so there will be plenty of room for everyone. I suggested that Henrietta imagine that the green house, for her, is like Florida for humans, she’ll be a snowbird for the winter, and in the spring she can move back to her home next to Jill’s back door.

It’s now two weeks later and following up with Jill,she says that Henrietta is pooping much less by the back door and that the other day, she spent ten hours in the green house before she felt that she had to flee to her space by the back door. Prior to our conversation, Henrietta would spend about ten minutes in the green house. We’ve got progress, progress is always good.
