Welcome to The Animals' Tribune - an online newspaper dedicated to expanding human awareness of animal consciousness. What you find on these pages are truly spoken by animals. I am merely their translator, interviewer and friend. My hope is that the readers of The Animals' Tribune discover humor, wisdom and compassion not only within the consciousness of animals but also within themselves. For if we truly know the animals we may find a trail to truly knowing ourselves. Enjoy!

I was trying to explain to Simon what frustration is and he replied, "I think frustrating is the way I feel when it is late morning and my mom (person) and I have not been outside yet to smell the roses. She needs that time for her well being."
When I asked Barney if he has any pain he answered, "No, I don't feel any pain, because my mom does energy work on me. I am a super sponge for it."
Seth's person just moved in with her boyfriend. Seth says, "Can I really call him my daddy? Are you telling me the truth?"
"I hope our new house has a big window in the ceiling so when mom (her person) and I are in bed we can watch the stars."

"I don't want to be friends with other dogs. My behavior scares me. It is like I see with different eyes."
"Before I thought I knew everything and I didn't know anything. Now things make a lot more sense. Before I was confused."
Betty and her person work at Noah's Apothecary, my favorite pet store. Betty says, "When it is quiet in the store and my mom is lonely, she talks funny crazy to me."
HERE ARE WHAT 6 OF MY STUDENTS HAD TO SAY ABOUT LEARNING TO SWIM:
CISCO: "At first I thought you were mean to put me in the water. Once I learned how to move correctly I enjoyed it. The most fun was learning how to fetch my ball in the water. Now I am a good swimmer."
