Hello from Vienna!

[petpsychologist]

Hello everybody, my name is Michael and i am in the lucky position to share my life with a wonderful westie-lady called "Tina"! We live in Vienna, Austria, Europe, and whenever i visit the U.S. (what I love doing despite all bias, a country is never like its politicians, I think, there is no such human being as "the american", "the austrian", ... at least this is what i believe) i must leave her with my parents who adore her at least as much as i do.
She is a doll, and sometimes i think she knows that, but that is part of her personality.
I am also very happy that i may work with pets since i am a pet psychologist.
This work is very satisfying - when you see that insecurity, aggression, fear is leaving the animal's soul, ...
I hope i can also tribute something here and i am looking forward to some nice conversation.
Nice greetings from Vienna
Michael

Welcome to another European, Michael! I'm sure you'll enjoy it here! :)

[petpsychologist]

Thanks a lot, Randy!

Very nice to welcome me!

I can see you are a very diligent writer!!!

I am also sure I will enjoy it, since this is my first day here and I already had some very interesting stuff to read.

All the best to Denmark

Michael

Welcome and what an interesting profession you have. Beware! You will be asked lots of questions I am sure!

[cassiesmom]

Welcome, Michael! My best friend's mother has a Westie. I've enjoyed getting to know more about the breed through her.

[Bengalz]

Welcome Michael und vie gehts? I love Vienna and have been there many times. My second family all live in Austria :D We visit often. I also have an amazing friend who lives in Vienna - she is a physician.

Sounds like you and your beautiful little Westie friend have a wonderful relationship - I do hope you share some photos with us when you can. I too am intrigued by your profession - heaven knows we hoomans need all the help we can get to understand the incredible world(s) of our treasured little furry friends :D Perhaps you can enlighten us and give some insight from time to time.

My name is Betty and I have a beautiful little bengal-mix kitty named Eve. I look forward to knowing you better.

[petpsychologist]

Thank you all very much for your warm welcome! I find it very interesting to talk or write to people from all over the world.

Many companion animal behavior problems can be “cured” by little changes, that’s what i have experienced. Sometimes a small step into another direction can change a lot and make life much easier for humans as well as for animals. That’s why i hope that i will be able to help some of you here in this forum as well.

When it comes to serious problems of course i need to go into detail which means i have to know the situation very well. As long as i cannot watch the people and their animal fellows personally i work with a questionnaire that consists of very many questions and thus provides me with some insight into the situation.

This is my work and i love it, i can tell you!
I hope to get to know many of you and i am looking forward to reading and writing here!
Thank you very much again (and here is my little angel)!

See you

Michael and Tina

Hello Michael. Welcome to Pet Talk. Your Tina is a very lovely girl! :D

I'm Karen and I have three cats; a mother and two daughters, who turned up in the garden one day and never left. They have all been with us almost 12 years now. They live in the house these days, but still enjoy their garden.

Hello and thank you for your nice welcome! Your cats look very pretty.
So they have chosen you, so to say! Thats something that i often experience - the pets decide where they want to go and stay and we humans simply have to accept that - and most of the times are very glad they did!!
The same happened with my Tina - she made the decision for me and it was the best i have ever accepted.
All the best and many more happy years with your adorable cats!
Michael

Welcome to Pet Talk, Michael! Tina is beautiful.

I'm Kay and I'm owned by 4 rescued mutts. :)

[Sonia59]

Welcome to Pet Talk Michael! Tina is very cute :)

I am owned by two cats, Peppito, a 9-y old mackerel tabby, and a black Princess, Jasmine, almost two years old.

I do not often read the Dog part of PT (by lack of time, I also love dogs ;) ), so I don't know if you have already posted something more about Tina, but anyway, It's nice to see some more European PTers :)

[dukedogsmom]

Welcome! I don't think we've ever had a pet psychologist here before. We've used a pet psychic who is very good. You sound like you love your Tina like we love our pets. I'm owned by a PT kitty that was rehomed. His name is Doogie. I also have a black Lab named Dasher that I adopted from the SPCA last December after having to say goodbye to my heart dog of 13 years last November. Sometime when you have time, I know we'd all love to hear more about your job and how you get clues/answers from pets. We hope you like it here.

[AdoreMyDogs]

Hello! Your little Tina is mighty cute! My name is Leslie and I have 2 dogs and 2 cats, all of which were rescue except my GSD, Boone, who's only just a pup. Welcome to PT, and I hope you stick around...it would be neat to have a pet psychologist here :)

[Roxyluvsme13]

Welcome to PT, I'm Bri :).

Hi Michael, welcome to PT. It's great to have another guy on here. I'm David P and I'm from Pittsburgh, Pa. I have three rescued kitties. Nikki, a tuxedo kitty, Daisy, a nutty Tortoiseshell, and Marigold, another nutty tortoiseshell. I volunteer with Cat Sense, a cat rescue organiztion in Pittsburgh. You have a very intereting occupation, Michael and I hope you post often. This site is addictive!

[Alysser]

Hi Michael,

Welcome to PT! I hope you enjoy your stay here. Tina is absolutely adorable, and she seems to have a very spunky nature, I can tell just by looking at the pics in your signature. My name is Alyssa and I'm owned by 1 dog, 1 bird, 3 shrimp, and 7 fish. :)

[petpsychologist]

Hi there and thank you very much for your welcome!!

I think this is a very good place here, i like it very much. And yes, Tina is a very spunky little girl - that is one of the many reasons why i love her so much - the best one is probably: because she is who she is!

I am looking forward to get to know many of you and of course many of your pets as well :)

Thanks a lot and have a great time!

Greetings from Vienna,

Michael (and Tina!)

Hello Lut,

thank you very much for your warm welcome! Yes, Vienna is a really nice place, i consider myself very lucky to live here. Unfortunately it is raining right now but the trees and all the other plants and animals need the water, so i think it is must.

I have never been to Belgium so far but i definitely want to visit it in the near future. As soon as i go there - could i ask you for some advice - where to go, what to see aso?

Thanks a lot and nice greetings to your four little tigers :)

Michael

[Catty1]

Michael, hello. I live in Canada and am owned by one tabby who was feral for his first two years(named 'Oscar Wild' as a result), and one big black fluffy "sheepskin" named Cole who was dumped near a place I worked.

You have mentioned a bit about how your service works. If a fee applies, you are most welcome to post more details and rates,etc, in the area here called Marketplace.

PT Members have listed everything from cat beds to CDs to glasswork to jewellery there.

Looking forward to finding out more about what you do! :)

[petpsychologist]

Hi and thank you very much for your suggestion!

I have already put one description in the marketplace area but it is already gone. I dont know if i can write a second, different one!?

By the way: HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!! :) :p ;)
(I was so nosy to take a look at your profile :rolleyes:

Thank you very much again and enjoy the day!!!

All the best

Michael
