And now, a word with Angus

Lately, my Pembroke Welsh corgi, Angus, has become very clingy. I was hoping animal communicator Rachel Millikan could shed some light on my problem.

After talking with Angus, Millikan believes he needs more serious bonding time with me: one-on-one, 10 or 15 minutes a day where I make it all about him and leave his human, 7-year-old brother out of it.

Here’s an excerpt from the consult based on the questions I sent to Millikan:

Question: I worry that he’s going a little deaf so I wonder about his overall health. Is he feeling healthy these days?

Angus: I feel healthy enough. My hearing is not what it used to be nor is my sniffer. I’m hungry a lot.

My knees are stiff and achy, especially in the morning. I should be taking something for my knees: a natural joint vitamin.

Question: Angus, what would make you most happy?

Angus: One-on-one time with my parents, especially Mom. I always like to go for a ride. Fresh meat mixed in with my hard kibble.

Question: Anything else you want to share with your family?

Angus: My little brother needs to be reminded to pet me gently from the middle of my head, down my back to the top of my tail (stroke not scratch). … Please take my collar off weekly and rub my neck. I’m overdue for a new toy. I want Mom to take me to work sometimes. I like that! Sometimes I feel I don’t get enough attention, but I’m not complaining.
