Kodi doesn’t want a Girlfriend!

Earlier this year we went on an Animal Communications Course.  Although skeptical at first, we had an awesome experience because we decided to keep an open mind.  We now try and practise as often as possible to hone our newly required skills.  If you’d like to help us practise, why not check out our website called Listen to Me.

Anyways, this post is actually about what I’ve learned from Kodi recently.  I’ve been going to the lady that presented the course a few times to help communicate with our own animals.  During the last visit, I decided to ask Kodi a few questions about his reactions to his new sister, Lola.  It seems like he doesn’t want anything to do with her.

Immediately after asking Kodi this, the lady burst out laughing.  She said that Kodi wants to know why do we want him to mate with Lola, because he really doesn’t want to.  I was confused wondering why Kodi would think that we want him to do that.  We managed to assure him this was not the case, and that we only want him to be friendly with her.  We continued with a few more questions when I suddenly realised why Kodi thought we wanted him to mate with Lola.

Whenever I speak to Kodi, I talk of his “girlfriend” Lola.  When we asked him about this word association, he told us that word to him means that he needs to mate with her.  I had to laugh, because he was so happy to hear that he didn’t need to mate with her, and that he must see her as his sister.

Just goes to show you, that pets dogs do understand our words!

Lola

The newest addition, although it was at the beginning of this year already, is Lola.  A sweet little dachshund.  

We drove up all the way to Upington to fetch this little angel.  Bernadette searched for a couple of month to get her special chocolate colored dachshund.  When she finally found a breeder that had one, we were quite excited.  There was the option of putting her on a plane and sending her down to PE.  For some reason this just didn’t feel right to me, so the next week we drove up.

In about 48 hours we were back in PE, having only slept about 4 hours in total during that time.  During that we got to explore a bit of the Northern Cape.

She’s fit in very nicely and gives her brothers a hard time by wanting to always play with them.

  2. Thou shalt keep each day sacred to the Earth and celebrate the turning of its seasons.
  3. Thou shalt not hold thyself above other living things nor drive them to extinction.
  4. Thou shalt give thanks for thy food, to the creatures and plants that nourish thee.
  5. Thou shalt educate thy offspring for multitudes of people are a blessing unto the Earth when we live in harmony.
  6. Thou shall not kill, nor waste Earth’s riches upon weapons of war.

The Cone of Learning

I just heard about this term “Cone of Learning” for the first time. I’ve read before of the ways we try and remember things, but this is a very nice representation of how effective the different methods work.

It basically states that after 2 weeks, we remember:

  • 10% of what we READ
  • 20% of what we HEAR
  • 30% of what we SEE
  • 50% of what we SEE & HEAR
  • 70% of what we SAY
  • 90% of what we SAY & DO
