Dedication
To all the fur babies I’ve loved but am assured I’ll see again. Until then, play and
run, and keep visiting. My heart will always wear the paw prints left by you.
Acknowledgments
This book could not have happened without the hundreds of thousands of clients
and their loved ones on the Other Side who have touched my life more than I
could ever eloquently communicate. I’m so grateful for being a messenger and
helping to make the connections.
My gratitude goes out to Llewellyn Publishing, especially Amy Glaser, who
inspires me daily to reach for my dreams, and to Stephanie Finne and the rest of
the hardworking staff.
I am thankful to my own spirit guides for teaching me that learning and
exploring never gets old, and that it doesn’t necessarily have to take place in a
classroom.
To my husband, Chuck Robinett, for his constant support and unconditional
love. My children, Micaela Even Kempf, Connor Even, Cora Kutnick, and
Molly Robinett, who (I think) I haven’t embarrassed too much. To my dad,
who’s my biggest pain and my largest love. My mom-in-law, Mary Lou, who
always has a story to tell, a hug to share, and wisdom to give. To my dad, Ron,
for his newly developed patience and understanding.
Love to my brother, Duane Schiller, and sister, Cheri Ford, for dad-sitting and
listening to me complain and whine.
I am thankful for having some of the best friends ever, especially Mikey and
Marjanna McClain, our travel buddies, who so lovingly help us with events and
late-night laughs.
Mary Byberg, my assistant and friend, who’s always kind and patient with my
clients and most of all with me.
My best friends and confidantes, Gayle Buchan, Donna Shorkey, and Jenni
Licata. Thank you to Colleen Kwiecinski and her mad Cooper-sitting skills.
Courtney Sierra for being the best hair counselor around. To Jan Tomes, Kathy
Curatolo, and Ryan Sparks for their friendship and help with events. SUP. To
Dr. David Schindler, Nancy Schindler, Deneen Baxter, and so many others—
without you I wouldn’t continue my dream.
Finally, to my furry loves who offer unconditional love and cuddles, Gracie
May, Archibald, Lucy Lou, Jinxie Jean, Isabella, Raven Lee, and Cooper. I will
forever love you as you get old and gray, and even into the afterlife.

Introduction
I’ve never been fond of the word death. Death means the end of life, and that
every memory, obstacle, love, and lesson was for naught and deemed
meaningless. At three years of age, I was seeing spirits, which was proof to me
that death didn’t exist except for what happened to the physical body. It’s that
physical absence that creates the deep void of sadness, including the loss of a
loved one that might have a cold nose, whiskers, and a wagging tail.
I always envisioned a pet psychic being like the fictional character Doctor
Dolittle, a veterinarian who understands what the animals are saying, only add in
a telepathy aspect. It wasn’t until several years ago that I had an aha moment
and realized that each one of us can be an animal communicator if we want to
be. It’s not that animal communicators have an automatic built-in animal
translator; we just have to have the patience to learn their language.
With animals we have to pick up on the subtle and sometimes not so subtle
cues. Maybe that is why there are people who don’t like animals; they lack the
patience or instinct. With humans we rely on verbal communication, and while
animals have their own verbal communication they also convey their thoughts
emotionally, through body language, and through scent. The cat that rubs up
against your leg. The dog that wags its tail. The hedgehog that rolls up and hides.
The skunk that sprays. The twitch of an eyebrow. The snarl of the mouth.
Humans think and speak of the past, present, and future, real and imagined.
Animals rely on current and present stimuli. Humans learn how to communicate,
while animals communicate instinctively and follow through intuitively.
When we transition over to the Other Side, we have to learn how to
communicate differently. Without vocal chords, we learn a universal language.
Some spirits call it the language of love, and not everyone here in the earthly
realm knows how to resonate on that level. Animals vibrate at a similar
frequency on the Other Side as they do here, and so the language is similar.
