Baxter
April 24, 2016
On Saturday when I was doing pet readings at the Gypsychicks store in Stony Plain I had a session with Amanda and Baxter. As soon as I saw the image of Baxter I immediately saw his floppy puppy energy. He was so flexible, floppy, willing and eager to please and play. He was very loving! He just oozed positivity and love.
Amanda asked how she could help Baxter adjust to being away from her. Baxter said that he wanted something that smelled like her. Sleep with something so it gets your scent on it, and then leave it with him while you're gone for the day he suggested.
As the session progressed Amanda let me know that she no longer lived in the same house as Baxter. She had moved out of Baxter's home. Now Baxter was alone with Amanda's ex and Baxter was very sad. He missed Amanda so much. Baxter’s owner, Amanda’s ex said that the day after Amanda left, Baxter was crying and looking for her. Sharing Baxter at this point was not an option. Amanda started to tear up. She missed him just as much as he missed her.
Amanda explained that very soon Baxter was going to school. He was really looking forward to this. Baxter was very social and loved the idea of participating in this event. Baxter added that maybe his owner would be the one to learn something when they went to their training sessions.
When Amanda asked whether Baxter favoured the pointer or hound in him, Baxter immediately said that he identified with being a pointer. When Amanda mentioned the hound in him, he howled just like a coonhound does when it’s cornered or treed whatever it’s been hunting, but it was a sad howl. He missed his girl.
Baxter was very loving. He just didn’t understand why Amanda wasn’t around anymore. As far as Baxter was concerned, he needed Amanda in his life, no matter what his owner said. Amanda and her ex had picked Baxter out together at an animal shelter a few months prior to this session. At that time there was no question, Baxter was meant for both of them even though her boyfriend’s name was on the paperwork. Dogs don’t pay attention to paperwork or ownership. They listen to their hearts.
It was evident that Baxter had plans to keep Amanda in his life. He was not a very happy puppy these days because he missed her so much. I like to think that this relationship is not over. We never know what can happen when we ask for what we want. And then we wait.
