Animal communication is a unique opportunity to speak with your animal friends and hear their responses – right from the dog's (or cat's or horse's or whale's) mouth.

Upcoming Classes and Events Animal Connections Class Is Just A Few Weeks Away (Indianapolis) I’m very pleased to be able to share the following information about my upcoming animal communication classes. These are wonderful opportunities to learn about and act upon an innate gift we all have: the ability to communicate with animals. Classes are four Thursdays from 7.00 – 8.30 p.m. Section A begins September 14 and Section B begins Jan 18. If you’re aware of the going rates for animal communication (I charge $60 an hour) then you know the class is a bargain at $70 for six hours, $40 if you’ve already taken the class with me. I hope you’ll join me for this journey.

Stop by for an animal communication session. A portion of the earnings from PugFest will help KRP further their mission. Handsome Henry: Looking for Love You may have wondered how animals seem to find their way to your door. I am convinced there is a well-lit neon sign above my head that reads, “Pushover for animals – try me.” The most recent animal to take me up on my sign’s offer is a young orange and white tabby I call Henry. I am very fond of Henry – in fact I’m guaranteed to squeal his name when I see him on the deck in the evening – but the kitties who live with me have made it quite clear that there is no room at the inn. So I told Henry we would use this interview as a personals ad to attract his purr-fect family. I’ve included some excerpts below. I encourage you to read the full interview on my website’s About the Animals page. Henry is a cat full of heart: funny, charming, and insightful. And you just might be his fur-ever person. Read on and see. What do you want to know? Shannon: Henry, tell me a little bit about yourself. Henry: (Deadpan) I’m a cat. What do you want to know? S: (After a moment of laughter) Well, you’re looking for a home, correct? H: (Excited) Oh yes! Do you think they’re coming soon? S: …Well, we’re working on that. … What would you like [your new family] to know about you? I’m ready to come home H: Well, as you can tell, I’m a very funny cat. I like making people laugh, and Shannon is a particularly easy target. All I have to do is look at her sideways or roll on my back and show my tummy and she melts all over the place. S: Once you told me that your last home was just a place to eat. H: That is correct. It wasn’t a home. No one saw me for who I am. They just put out food and all the animals came for that. It’s time for me to be able to shower someone with my gifts. S: What are your gifts? H: (Focusing his energy) I bring the gift of humor as an illusion of love. When people see me they are attracted to me and they don’t know why. Yes I am a handsome boy, but there is something else. It is because when I truly know someone – and I can do this in just a few moments – I can bring their love into my heart and back out to them. Thus they receive the love that they have never given to themself, and it is magic. Waiting for our hearts to be together H: …When someone is open to me and deeply trusting I open myself even further. I work my magic as I roll and stretch and purr and they want to have their hands on me. It is because, unknowing, they seek to gather the love to their heart/unto themself. My “jokes,” as you call them, open them to a deeper knowing of awareness and their child’s heart springs forth, asking for love. S: …Is there anything else you’d like to say to your potential family before we end tonight? H: (Serious) I am waiting for you. I am waiting for our hearts to be together. I know they already are, but I want to feel you and you are ready to hear my purr. Shannon will know who you are and she will tell me so when you come I won’t run away. I’ll be waiting. Come soon so we can be together this time. Read the full interview A few final notes from Shannon Henry is most definitely ready for his fur-ever home. He will need to be neutered and have a check-up with a veterinarian. It will be my pleasure to help with some of these fees. Henry is a very special cat, after all. He enjoys humans of all ages and gets along with other cats. We think Henry might eventually adjust to and enjoy a dog in the house but last time we tried it didn’t go so well. Henry will definitely keep all his claws, be primarily an indoor cat (he’s fine with escorts outside), and live with a non-smoking family. I will, of course, offer several animal communication sessions with Henry at no cost. As Henry says, he’s ready for his new home NOW! So if you think you might be his new family, please send me an email or call me. © 2006 Shannon Gross, LLC Ÿ shannon@shannongross.com Ÿ 317 337-1120 Please note: I am not a veterinarian and cannot diagnose or medically treat your animal companion.
