Today I had an animal communication session with my dog Gus, and I’ll be honest — I wasn’t expecting it to go as deep as it did. I went in with curiosity, mostly wanting to check in on his health and behavior. But what I got was something entirely different. It was soulful, emotional, and honestly... life shifting.
One of the most powerful messages that came through was this:
“You give, give, give, give, give… but what about you?”
Gus, through the communicator, reflected something I already knew deep down but haven’t been living fully: I’m so good at giving. To people. To animals. To clients. To projects. But when it comes to myself — pausing to ask what I need from me — I often come up blank.
He showed me a mirror. Literally.
“He’s showing you standing in the mirror, seeing yourself for how beautiful you truly are. Give yourself the love you give to us.”
Cue the tears.
It was as if Gus (and maybe the universe through him) wanted to hold up a reflection — not just of who I am to him, but who I’ve forgotten I am to myself.
Another part that wrecked me:
“Even though they’ve passed on, the dogs on the other side are still with you. We all love you — to the ends of the earth.”
That moment cracked me open. It reminded me that love doesn’t leave. The animals I’ve lost — the ones who still show up in my memories, dreams, and sometimes in the way the wind moves — they’re still here. Still loving me. Still walking with me.
And then came the thank you.
“You and Gus have a deep soul bond. It’s not just affection — it’s mutual. He fulfills your needs, and you fulfill his.”
This was more than just a sweet message from a beloved pet. It was a call back to self. A call to pause. To soften. To ask the question I’ve been too busy or too tired or too distracted to ask:
“What do I need from me right now?”
So if you’ve been in that same place — of doing, giving, stretching — I hope this post meets you where you are. Maybe take a moment today to look in the mirror and see what Gus saw.
You’re worthy of your own love too.
