Oh I love it when people think I'm crazy or mad.
Because then you can do anything and
'oh yes, that's that crazy old woman.'
So it's great. It's great being crazy or mad.
People are complicated.
Animals are not.
They live in the now
and they don't care about tomorrow
and hang onto what happened yesterday.
It's just go with the flow with them.
Animals can enrich your life in many ways.
They mean emotionally so much.
And they can help you overcome trauma.
The toughest thing that I had to go through
was being told in my life
that I have brain cancer.
When I was operated on the first time
the doctor told me
'It's like war in your brain'.
'You've got a 5% chance of just living'.
It was tough at that moment
but with a lot of input from friends
and my animals
I survived that very, very harsh word cancer.
I'm definately not bitter about it
and I never asked why me.
That was the moment that changed my life.
It is totally a blessing
because now I'm deaf.
I just take this little bone attachment hearing aid off
and then I'm totally deaf.
The way I experienced it
it was a brand new beginning.
The communication with animals grew
because now I'm into their world.
If we can't keep silent
then we can't communicate.
You must listen
and you can't listen if you talk.
So if you go to the seaside, listen.
The waves...
the birds chirping...
And if you go into your garden, just listen.
Just keep quiet.
Watch their body language.
See how they react.
Everyone can communicate with animals.
It's a language.
You just have to learn again.
The animal doesn't mind
if you speak Portugese, French or English.
He gets the visual images
of what you are thinking about
and he reacts to that.
Let go of all the thoughts,
the rational stuff.
Don't use this...
the grey stuff in there...
what's left.
Luckily I don't have a lot left
so I don't use it.
I think with my heart.
Animal communication
is such a natural thing for a kid
because they live from their heart.
They don't know about all the regulations
and rules of society.
We push it on them.
And then life gets put in a box.
And we stop what we shouldn't stop.
I don't think we can even comprehend
how animals are devoted to us,
what they will bring to us.
It's not a question of
you have to be like this before I love you.
Animals don't look at you
like a physical being.
They work and they see what is inside.
That's what they care about.
That's the real stuff.
I'll be using my last breath
to whisper to animals.
