She was on the radio the other day taking listeners' calls. You can listen here:
omny.fm/shows/2dayfm-breakfast/amanda-de-warren-pet-psychic. I've transcribed most of it below. Any thoughts?
First interview (Host)
Ash: Amanda, I'm gonna take the opportunity to talk to you about my little lady. Is that alright?
Amanda: Yes, with attitude. Yes.
Ash: Her name is Honey and she is a rescue greyhound and she's being moving around a lot lately because we've been..
Amanda: [interrupts] I was gonna say to you it feels like she's been shifting a lot, from house to house to house and it feels like, but you're just about stopping where you are at this point, aren't you?
Ash: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we're settling in
Amanda: I feel like, um, and she's very cheerful, she's a very cheerful dog, it's like all she wants to do is make you happy and, um, she's very, has she got a little bit of a problem with one of her legs as well?
Ash: She does. She has arthritis in her back leg.
Amanda: Yeah, because I felt pain in her back legs, because she's showing me a lot of pain in her back legs and she's saying, "I'm struggling to walk at times."
Ash: [crying]
Grant: Ash, are you ok, darl?
Amanda: Um, it comes and goes. She's not really that old though, is she? What is she, about 4 or 5?
Grant: Ash is tearing up.
Ash: No, she's a bit older. She's 7.
Amanda: Sorry, I make everyone cry, it's my job.
Ash: Cause I worry about her back legs, because we have stairs and when she goes up the stairs I worry.
Amanda: Of course, yeah, yeah, and that's what she's talking about. She's talking about her back legs and she's saying, "it's ok, I'm having good days and bad days, but I know you love me."
Grant: Aw, that's..
Amanda: But I know she struggles with the back legs. Look, she's fine, um, I do a lot of healing on animals, but she really needed her mum to know about the back legs, because that's the first thing I picked up on. It's "I love you so much, mummy, I know you're doing everything." Are you doing some, like, alternative medicine on her at the moment, like healing or..?
Ash: I give her massages, and I look up on the Internet how to do dog massages.
Amanda: Yes, I was just about to say healing.. yes, because she's talking about healing thing you're doing, the alternative, it feels like massage or something. She said, "Aw, that's just,
that's awesome. I love it."
Ash: Aw, I hope she likes it, cause greyhounds don't give a lot of emotion.
Amanda: She does.
Ash: So when I do it, she just stares at me, like does she even like the dog massage that I'm learning how to do off YouTube?
Amanda: You're actually, you're actually doing really well with that.
Ash: Thank you, Amanda.
Amanda: I'm gonna send her some healing as well, so, but she's absolutely gorgeous. Please go and give her a big hug.
Ash: I will, thank you.
Amanda: She has, she has not, she's not one of these dogs that wants to race.
Ash: No, at all, she's a lazy lady.
Amanda: She had no intention, it's like you say, what, what do you want to me to do.. [not sure about next words]
Second interview (Cara)
Amanda: How can I help you and your baby?
Cara: So I have two, but I'm more curious about one. So his name's Nuts (?) and he's very handsome, ah, but we have a bit of a behavioural issue where, um, he cries a lot..
Amanda: Does he get a little bit aggressive? I feel like he has an underlying fear. I'm sorry to interrupt you, but I felt like there is an underlying fear and it seems to come out as like, he's not showing aggression, but I feel like, yes, because there's a fearfulness around him as well. Has he missed another dog? I feel like there's another dog that's passed over, is that right?
Cara: No, he's a cat, but, um.. he
Amanda: Aw, a cat, I'm sorry, who's the dog that keeps coming through? A dog passed over?
Cara: I've never had a dog, but he may have had a dog previously. He's a rescue.
Amanda: Ok, that's what he's trying to show me.
Cara: I think he was surrendered.
Amanda: Yes, yes, because I feel a dog and a dog keeps coming through and connecting to this cat. I'm sorry, I'm trying to be really quick here. Um, but the cat, has he got an.. he's very fearful at times, but the dog was what he was connected to for a long time and that's what he's missing. He's telling me about the dog. He's been.. he's gone to several different homes has he, so far, the cat?
Cara: Yep, yep.
Amanda: Yes, because he said, "many, many homes but I.."
Cara: He's been with me for a few years.
Amanda: Yes, but he had, um, anoth- a dog that he was very connected to that that dog is passed over and it's trying to connect to him. So he wakes up in the middle of the night and he's all noisy and, uh, kind of cries out does he?
Cara: Yes, people think I have a crying baby, but it's not a baby, it's my cat.
Amada: Yeah, that's what he's showing me, the crying out, the crying out, it's the dog that's passed over that comes to him and he senses that dog at night and they were very, very close.
Host: I'm sorry to cut in, I know it's very technical, I know there's a lot going on, but we've got so many calls coming through, it's so busy.
Amanda: I'm so sorry, but anyway, the dog is there.
Host: Do we have a little tip for Cara that will.. so a little tip for Cara, something she can do perhaps, Amanda?
Amanda: I tried to remove the dog, so that Cara and this has happened many times, so your cat can actually get some peace.
Host: Great stuff. Alright, look, as I say so many trying to get through.
Third interview (Natalie)
Natalie: Hello!
Amanda: Natalie!
Natalia: Hi, how are you going?
Amanda: Good, darling. How can I help you?
Natalie: I'm ringing up about my beloved dog Brutus, sorry I'm gonna cry. Um, yeah, he passed away about 18 months ago. We had him for almost 14 years..
Amanda: You had to put him, you had to put him to sleep, did you?
Natalie: No, we didn't have to put him to sleep. He actually passed away in my son's arms.
Amanda: I feel like it was quick. It felt really, really quick with him. Yes, because I feel you weren't expecting this, this was very sudden and you weren't expecting this.
Natalie: Yep. Not at all.
Amanda: And he said he went downhill really fast. He said he didn't suffer.
Natalie: Ok.
Amanda: I just felt like his whole body shut down. Was it like an impact or something or come to something like an umph gone?
Natalie: He literally just, he just coughed and he was gone.
Amanda: Yes. That's what he's showing to me. I'm feeling, uh, gone. That's what he's showing me.
Natalie: Yeah, that was exactly it.
Amanda: And he was perfectly ok beforehand.
Natalie: Yeah.
Amanda: Yeah, he was, he wasn't that old though, but he said to tell you I didn't pass, they think, uh, I didn't suffer. Did they think it was some kind of stroke or a heart attack or something?
Natalie: Yes, yeah.
Amanda: Yes, because I'm picking up on stroke or heart attack.
Natalie: Ok.
Amanda: It was that quick, he didn't suffer.
Natalie: Yeah.
Amanda: You know what, darling? They go on loving us, even 70, 80 years down the track. I've done communications with people who have lost animals 70 years ago and they still come through. They love us unconditionally, even though they are physically not here. He did not suffer.
Fourth interview (Fiona)
Fiona: Yeah, hi, I've had my rescue dog Harrison for 10 years, we're best buds, as close that you can be. I've just brought a second dog into the home and he's just not quite himself. I
wanna make sure he's ok with that, he's alright with me bringing a second, young pup into the home.
Amanda: He, uh, seems to be ok, but I think the pup's energy is not on the same level of his. These two dogs seem to be completely different, conflicting personalities, uh..
Fiona: [interrupts]
Amanda: Sorry?
Fiona: I said, "they certainly are."
Amanda: Yes, because I'm feeling like your dog is saying, "well, you know, um, you brought this dog into the house, but he's not on the same level as me, and we don't really connect that well.."
Ash: So what can she do?
Amanda: Well, all I can do is help the, help both dogs get to the same level and that's what I actually do, because the, the older dog, it's not so much about the jealousy thing, it's just about the whole, uh, energy level of the new dog. There's a lot of negativity around the old dog and the, uh, rescue dog before is trying to fathom out what this dog is about.
Ash: Great. It's like housemates, when you find a housemate off the Internet and you move in and you don't like each other:
Amanda: Exactly.
Fifth interview (Janet)
Janet: Hi guys, um, yeah, we bought the horse at Christmas time for my daughter, um, who's been having riding lessons for about 2 years now, um, but she's thrown my daughter off a couple of times.
Amanda: I was gonna say, it just kind of felt, I went mmm when you were talking and I was thinking, "ok, this horse has, um, it's like I'm the boss, always has been the boss, you're not the boss of me, I'll tell you when I've had enough." Um, unfortunately, this horse goes from really, really sweet and then all of a sudden, "I'm gonna throw you off" within like, uh, seconds, um and your daughter's energy is not strong enough for this horse, and I don't mean that as an insulting way, but this horse I don't think is really gonna change much at all. It has a lot of emotional problems and social problems with humans, and you find that a lot with animals. I think retraining this horse would do a lot of good.
Ash: Is that helpful, Janet?
Janet: Yeah, it is actually, because we have sort of been checking things off, so you know we had her feet done, we were having a dentist come out to see her..
Amanda: It's not um, it's not a physical problem. It's an emotional problem with her, and it's almost like bipolar. Like she's good one minute and then the minute it's like, bang, gone.
