mad for minis:
Caspian- He reminds me a lot of my horse, so I might pick up on him more. Is he a bit naughty, and then does the 'I'm too cute to be guilty' face? When he's obviously done something wrong, he goes "It wasn't me, I'm too cute and innocent!."
Star- A bit hard for me to read with the shadowed face. I'm getting a bit of a mareish personality from him. Not grumpy, but I had to guess his gender I would have thought mare. I'm just getting that he's very nurturing and understanding?
Cassy- Did she go to a huntseat place? I get something about a black wooden plank fence, and a very manicured pasture, farm, etc. I think she is happy. Did she have a small chestnut pinto gelding that she was buddies with? Either a miniature or pony?
Minihorses101:
Mary- I think the picture threw me off a little and I first got that she is nervous and flighty, but then saw something about her rolling in the dirt, doing her own thing, and being a bit mellow. Does she play with something red?
Indy&Stormy- I'm sorry, I can't read them from these pictures. It's hard to read from just one eye, and then Stormys picture was too small, and when I enlarged it, it became too pixelated. I'd be happy to try again with different pictures though.
Appymini:
Granada- Is she spooky? I first asked if she would speak with me, and she said yes, then I happened to read above the picture where you said you wanted to know why she is the way she is, and I got very clearly "You're not going to change me, I'm old and set in my ways." I'm not sure what she does, but I got very clearly that she was not going to change.
Little Pea- The picture is too small to read from, and enlarging it makes it become pixelated. I'd be happy to try with another photo though.
The Dynamic Duo:
Kid- Did he have a hard life before you? Was a rescue? Maybe this hardened his view of people? This is just the first thing I got from him before I asked him any questions.
I asked him if he liked his new home and I got that it's okay. Not bad, not great, just okay. But I think this would be his response about anywhere.
I asked his favorite color, and got "What does it matter."
Age: Seven or nine?
I asked why he is so negative around others, and I got "Because I can."
I asked if he was abused, and got "I certainly wasn't treated well."
suz:
"M"- Very sweet, but gets away with everything? Is he your baby? Is he your only horse? Very attached to you? Is he youngish-under four?
"C"- Female? Very sweet and happy-go-lucky? She likes to ride with you? She is sort of like the personality you would think of for a Corgi, sweet, loyal, friendly, etc. Does she come with you to see "M"?
"JP"- I couldn't decide whether I was getting a J or a P from him for his name, so just put both. Is he a bit arrogant? He's a goofball? But he doesn't do it for the amusement of people, *gasp* how could anyone think he would lower himself for human entertainment! :bgrin He is just weird, does his own thing? Likes to strut?
Jill:
Winston- For some reason I think Shih Tzus aren't the brighest dogs, but Mr. Winston put me straight immediatly and almost wouldn't talk to me because of it. My first thought for him was ditzy, but that wasn't coming from him, and when I thought that I got "Excuse me, that is not me at all." I had to apologize before he would talk to me. I want to say he's a serious dog, but not really? Is he the leader of the rest of the dogs? I'm getting that he thinks he's the most mature of them all. Likes to take it easy, just relax and enjoy life?
Kitty:
Stella- I'm not sure why she is special, is it something about either she wasn't planned/was an accident, or her mother was supposed to be sterile, as well as maybe a difficult birth or was a premie? Very sweet and meek?
Spottie and Elvis- I did them together as they seem to be very connected and a bit similar. Is Elvis/the one with the darker face the more serious one? When I first looked at them I was a bit taken aback as they seem to be the wisest and most "serious" Jack Russels I've ever seen. They are JRTs aren't they? Is there a third JRT, or a third dog? She's a bit "different". Is she new? They're not too sure of her, maybe she's ill, or just has a weird personality?
Adorabelle- The picture is a bit small, and when I enlarge it, it's too pixelated. I'd be happy to try with a different one though
Valerie:
Sophie- The picture is almost big enough, but to try and get a better connection to her, it'd be easier with a bigger picture. Is she a bit skittish?
bjpurpura:
Rudy- Cute picture.
Is she really energetic? Likes to play? Does she hop up in peoples seats right before they sit down, or steals them after they get up?
Melody- She is so cute, I love her tiny little head.
Is she a bit serious for a baby? Not super serious, just a little bit more than you would expect for a young horse. Is she two to three years old?
Triple the Fun:
Indy- She looks like she's smiling in this picture.
Does she "smile"? Is she always really happy, but not really in an exhuberant energy way, but as though she always seems to radiate happiness? A bit mischevious as well?
Spider- Is he trouble? This is the first time I've ever gotten anything sort of about the future. I got that as he's a foal now, he acts foalish, playful and troublesome, but as he gets older he will mature and the troublesome stuff will be more of a showoff thing, sort of like the "it" factor. He thinks he would be a good show horse. Might also just do things out of the blue.
Fanch:
Pumpkin- I've never tried to speak to a guinea pig before so I tried to ask questions that would be easy to verify. Does he sniff your nose a lot? I asked him what his cage looked like, and I got a glass aquarium? With white pine shavings? I also got something light purple? Are carrots his favorite food? He's around three?
Ferrah:
Turbo- Male? Around two? A bit of a big dog in a small dogs body? Maybe a bit of a Napolean complex?
Ferrah- Is she around 19? Do you do western with her? Maybe western pleasure, and showmanship? Was she your first horse, or first big horse? I get her teaching yo a lot of thigns, as well as maybe you two learning a lot of things together. was she an english horse before you got her, or she changed disciplines when she came to you?
Spyder- He wouldn't talk to me, just got that he wasn't that into it.
Cinnabar- I can't connect from this picture, I could try with a head closeup though.
PaintedPromiseRanch:
Darci- Is this picture recent? I'm getting that she might be a bit older now? Is she wreaking havoc? She is the boss and she knows it?
Paint Mare- Has she ever been called April? Around thirteen? Did she used to do hunter over fences. I got that very clearly, but I'm pretty sure it's wrong as you do western? Does she do 4H halter now?
Taffy Jo- He/She? He is hard to connect with. Is he a bit secretive, or wary of strangers? But very sweet to those he knows?
Luna- Is she a bit skittish? Any sort of "harsh" body language can spook her, and she can read people really well? Does she have one person that is her special person? A young girl? That she is very patient and cares alot for this girl, and will do anything for her and is not spooky around her?
Wiley- Maybe it's the donkey thing making me thing this, but is he really stubborn? From his face in the picture I get that he just doesn't want to have his picture taken. :bgrin Thinks he is smarter than people?
Matt73:
Dog on left, "S"- Male? Around two? I think is a female from the picture, but I can't tell, although I get a very young male type personality. Very happy to please, and just very happy in general? Likes to do things in water? As well as something about pine trees?
Dog on right, "AC"- Female? Around four or five? Are these two dogs connected in some way? I get a very motherly feeling from her towards the other dog. Does she have puppies right now? Nine? Is there a special female puppy you're keeping, maybe one with an odd white spot, maybe on her back?
Horse, "CP"- Stallion? Does he always have to know everything that goes on? Very friendly and always comes up to you in the pasture? I got something about maple syrup, and someone in a fuzzy red sweater?
German Shepard- Female? She seems like a very elegant dog. A bit hesitant to talk to me, isn't one to open up right away? Very loyal? Something about a white GSD, or a big longhaired white dog? Maybe she was bred to one?
Watcheye:
Aquarious- First impression was just "Wow." Don't know if it is the photography or just him, but "Wow." seems to sum him up. He is still living, right? Around 23 years old? When you look at him, you see his soul first? He seems very wise. I got something about this is his last life, as this one he won't reincarnate, as he's fulfilled everything, and is truly complete now.
Hiawatha- Can she be a bit of a moody mare, either in the field, with people, or both? Very complex? Has she had a foal, maybe when she was very young?
Kegan- He is so handsome! Is he still intact? 1 1/2 to two years old? It's hard to get anything else from him, partly because blue eyes sometimes throw me off, and partly because I can't quit drooling over him. :bgrin Do you constantly have to remind him who's boss?
Simon- The first thing I got from him is that he has come back, or he's going to come back as either a black or black and white guinea pig. I don't know if you're planning on getting another or not, I just got that he is coming back. Was he a bit standoffish of those he didn't know? Around ten when he passed? He had a white cage with fluffy stuff on the bottom? Was he litter box trained? Liked peppermints?
Wiccanz:
Latte- He is so gorgeous
: Is he starting to act out a lot? Maybe rearing and pulling away when leading? For no reason? I get a bit of arrogance from him? Have you talked about gelding him? Not really seriously as he is so nice, but has his behavior gotten bad enough that you considered it? I get that he knows he won't be cut, and he's using the "hormones" as an excuse to be awful.
Thank-you all again for letting me practice with your animals, as well as for your feedback. I never expected such a response.
I had to go back and apologize for getting his gender wrong.
