Question:
My dog has lost his "singer." Jakardo is a 7-year-old Siberian husky. He would sing (howl) on command, and often get into singing contests with my husband, sons and friends. He always had to be the loudest. Neighbors would mistake him for the monthly air-raid siren check.My husband went into the hospital last month, unexpectedly, for about 10 days, and even though he is now back home, Jakardo will not sing. No matter what treat is offered him, or who howls to get him going, he will not utter a sound. I think he is mad at all of us for Dad going away.How can we get him happy again?.

Answer:
Your dog's spirit has been injured, and he fears your spouse may go away again. Some animals, especially dogs, have prescience, so I hope your husband goes in for an immediate checkup. You, too, may be worrying about your husband, and that would certainly affect your dog. Dogs are empaths, after all.So, lighten up with a harmonica or a recording of wolves howling -- that could spark Jakardo's soul so he can sing to the sky and bring heaven down where Earth abides.
