This truly unique guide, co-authored by hundreds of animals in conversation with animal communicator Carrie O’Neill, reveals many ways in which animals speak with their behavior. Does your cat jump on your desk during a long zoom call or your dog suddenly need to go outside during a stressful conversation? You may consider this “disruptive” but animals can read your energy and may be trying to shift you from tense back to calm. In Animals DO Talk, animals explain their intentions and needs and offer heart-warming advice that is both playful and profound. You’ll learn why you should always take your dog on a first date, why Vitamin J (Joy) is the most important daily nutrient, and how to find peace on a “bliss break” together. You’ll also discover practical suggestions for helping your pet thrive in all stages of life from welcoming them into your family to easing end-of-life decision-making and everything in between. This is the book your animal wants you to read. Enjoy it together - what could be better than curling up with your animal and a good book! Read more
