I am sitting here today thinking about what to write for the blog and it came to me, that I don’t know what to talk about his week. It has been a strange week after all, Tuesday; we celebrated the 1 year anniversary of my Judi’s Death. So of you may know that Animal Echoes was here baby and I only took it over after she died, and that it took several months to figure out how to keep the site alive and keep with the feeling that she created. I think I may have succeeded in that area or at least I really hope so.
I am sitting here reflecting on how much everything has changed in the last year. I lost my best friend but made a lot great friends. I know that I would probably not have meet these people if Judi had not passed but I know that I miss here dearly and I wish she was still here with us.
So back to the issue at hand, I needed a subject to write the blog on so this week I thought I would post some of the stories and memories that I received from a few of her clients to share with everyone. So I am going to post them today and Friday. I hope that you enjoy the stories.

Dear Cynthia,
I am so glad you asked us to write about our experiences with Judi. Her passing affected me greatly. Maybe because she was so trustworthy and my concern is that I will never find another trustworthy person who can put me in contact with the special dogs in my life. There was something so genuine and caring about her.
I first "met" Judi after my Siberian husky, Michael had passed on. Michael had literally been the love of my life, both of the four-legged and the two-legged kind. When Michael had gotten ill, I had talked to a pet psychic in California and she found the cancer before the vets and soon after Michael was diagnosed, she "talked" to him one day when he just seemed to give up. He was not that ill yet but was concerned that "he had always taken care of me and now he was a burden". After both she and I talked to him, he perked right up and went on to live a very happy, fulfilling life for eight more months. I really appreciated her assistance and the knowledge she was able to impart to me.
When my neighbor's little dog, who had been rescued from a puppy mill became ill, I called her. At that point she had become what she considered "famous" and was charging outrageous fees as well as being very, very busy. Thank heaven a friend suggested I call your mother, which I did immediately. Judi was available in very short period of time and she charged very reasonable rates. My neighbor had actually rescued two dogs; Meagan (the sick one) was a Cairn Terrier and the other one, Sam was a Westie. These dogs were very close to me as I work out of my house and my neighbor was a CNA working long and strange hours so the dogs were often at my home. Also, I walked them with my neighbor every morning. When I talked with your Mom, she told me a little about Sam and Meagan lives before being rescued as well as how happy they were in their new situation. Now Meagan and Sam have very different personalities and when she "talked" with Meagan, it was evident that she was speaking with her. Meagan had heart worm and was very ill; but your mom told us she would be ok after treatment and she was. She then spoke with Sam and she told me that Sam had a much less severe case of heartworm as well. Again, I knew when Sam was speaking as her personality was captured in your Mom's voice and the phasing of the conversation.
After we finished discussing the care of Meagan and Sam, she contacted Michael. Now Michael was one of the most beautiful being I have ever seen and he knew it as well. I asked your Mom to ask him when he would be coming back to me. She then told me in that sophisticated voice of Michael's that he was sure I didn't want a puppy and he had been waiting for me to let him know I was ready. I told him of course he was correct that I didn't want a puppy and I was ready. At which point he told me that he would be "coming back as a huskie because I was so handsome and I want to be as handsome this time around as well". If I didn't believe it was Michael before I knew it was him then as that is exactly what he would have said and how he would have said it..
Last June, I had an opportunity to talk with your Mom again when I returned from a visit to Best Friends in Kanab. When I was up at Best Friends, I asked for a dog that seldom gets out as my "overnight" dog. They fixed me up with Brandi who came back to the hotel with me for three nights. Brandi story was that she had been tied up in a yard in Ohio as a puppy and one day a Chihuahua came into the yard and got too close to Brandi and she killed it. She was only a year and a half at the time. The family sent her off to a family member in St. George who took her to Best friends as they could not keep her. She was now twelve and had lived at Best Friends for over 10 years. I could not understand why she had not been adopted as she was obviously house trained, very gentle, beautiful, well mannered etc. My heart was broken that I had to leave her there.
I called your Mom again and she told me things about Brandi that made total sense. She said that she wasn't happy riding which I knew from taking her out in the car. Since the next time I would be going up to Best Friends would be on my way driving back East to Maine it didn't seem like we would be a good match. There were also other things Judi told me about Brandi and who she was as well as about my own health. When I went back up to Best Friends, I again took Brandi out for four nights. I also decided to talk her up everywhere we went. Well, about six weeks after I left her at Best Friends for my drive back East; I received an email that she had been adopted! I can only guess that after ten years, Judi and I had something to do with her finding a forever home.
During my talk about Brandi, Michael came through again and it was obvious that he was still preparing to return and expected to be an only dog. Anyway, as I talked with your Mom, I felt like she remembered me and Michael. I know that she would talk with lots of people all over the country and that there is no way she actually could remember me but that is how she made me feel.
The last time I talked with her was in this past August. I was back East and my cousin has a Tibetan Terrier named Cassie who was having problems adjusting to a lot of losses in her life. I suggested we call your Mom and see what she had to say. She gave my cousin some extremely helpful information on what was going on for Cassie and how she could help Cassie get through it. Several times I put in my two cents worth and again, I felt like Judi remembered me.
Am still waiting for Michael, however after my last talk with Michael through your Mom, I know what he's waiting for me to do. I am in the process of setting my life up so that my circumstances work for him as well as me.
I can say your Mom has brought a special peace into my life with her ability to communicate with the special animals in my life. I will miss her kindness and knowledge, but most of all I miss her essence and knowing she walks this planet with us. However, being aware of the changes we are now going through on Earth and the more drastic changes that are to come, I am sure she was needed more on the other side. For her work here and there, I say "thank you".
Special love to you and her whole family,

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us....
We ask ourselves,
who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God...
We were born to make manifest the glory of God
that is within us.
It is not in just some of us; it is in everyone.
As we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others!"
- Marianne Williamson
Dear Judi,
I want to thank you for all the help you have given to me with talking to my animals. When I was much younger I always wanted to talk to the animals the way Dr. Doolittle did. I hoped to grow up and understand what their needs were. Since I have become an adult I still want to talk to the animals and understand and so I stand before you hoping you can impart some wisdom to me.
When I lost Jamie at age 3 and was looking for some answers about what happened to him, you helped fill in the blanks and provided me with great peace. I know that you know this but it helps to be reminded that you have been given a tremendous gift from God. I have always wanted to communicate with animals especially my own and I am hoping by signing up for your animal communications class that I can tune into not only my animals but others. I know I mentioned this to you before but I feel I am being guided to this spiritual path of animal communications and I so look forward to partaking in your class.
I enjoyed taking the animal communications course with you and you lead the class by inspiring me and giving me and the class the confidence that we each needed. I feel it was an honor and privilege to be under your tutelage. Your spirit continues to amaze and fascinate me. I am hoping to one day have some gifts to offer people spiritually on their journey such as you did me. Your abilities to help people find lost pets amazes me… you are an earth angel.
Thanks for all your help and wisdom.

Dear Samantha, Nathan, and William,
In loving remembrance of your Grandmother Judi Byers;
I first heard about your special Grandmother from another Animal Communicator that I had contacted to help me with my animals. She was very ill but she gave me Judi's name and phone number so that I could get the answers I needed to help my little ones. I have three Lhasa Apsos and three parrots and the birds were worrying me terribly. Katy is an African Grey and Sophie & Vinny are Goffins Cockatoos. Judi was able to pick right up on what all three of them wanted to say to me....they were very upset and wanted me to know why. You see I had moved their big cages from along the wall and placed them in front of a big picture window that I had installed so they could look at the garden and the fish ponds in the yard outside the window. They were afraid....they were afraid of the other birds that came to sit on the fence, they didn't like all the sunshine, they didn't really enjoy watching the Koi jumping in the pond, they really didn't like it when the neighbors looked over the fence and stared at them! They were very descriptive when they described the neighbors, and not terribly kind but they sure had them down to a tee.....I knew exactly which of them had been peaking over the fence! They wanted me to cover the back side of their cages and just leave a small corner for them to look thru when they wanted to look out....in other words they wanted more privacy. They also wanted me to know that since I had moved them they couldn't see the television from the new spot and they missed watching it! The final thing they wanted was "Fruit Do Do's".......now fruit do do's is the name my grandchildren use for those little packages of fruity gummy candy that comes shaped like animals or toys or goofy stuff that you buy at the grocery store. When they come to see me they always ask for fruit do do's and then they stand in front of the bird cages and eat them....not to tease the birds but because they like to watch and talk to the birds whenever they come over to visit. Judi was laughing when she told me about the fruit do do's....she said, I have no idea what those are but your birds think they must be yummy cause the children always ask for more of them.....and now they want some. There was no doubt in anyone's minds that she was talking to my birds at that point, because they were the only ones that would specifically ask for fruit do do's. I knew I couldn't give the birds those sugary treats but Judi told me to find a substitute that they could have so I found a food for them that is brightly colored and comes in lots of different shapes and we call that their fruit do do's...and they love it!!! They also got everything else they told Judi they wanted....I covered the backs of their cages for more privacy and moved the TV so they could watch it when it was on.....and I put up a little fence to keep the dogs from going under the cages to eat the fruit do do's that got dropped on the floor! As soon as I did everything they had asked for they settled down and quit picking at their feathers. I thought I was going to be making them so happy by moving them in front of that window and with Judi's help I learned I had made their little lives miserable. I was so grateful for Judi's ability to talk with them and tell me what they wanted me to do. She was so much fun to work with and she had such a caring heart and spirit that she always wanted to be of as much assistance as she could be. We worked together several times, each time I learned from her what my animals needed from me and she was always right on target with each of them. I had worked with other communicators before I found Judi and as good as they were none of them could compare with her ability to talk with my animals. She was a rare gift to everyone she worked with and she is greatly missed by all of us. She will always be remembered by those of us that had the privilege of knowing her....we all loved her too. She was simply The Best!!!
With Love and Light,
