First off, everything is magical. Magick is completely natural and exists in all things. A familiar animal will enjoy being around you when you do spellwork and other acts of magick. Most require a bit of training, just as people do, in order to keep from being disruptive, but some seem to take to it all quite naturally. Your familiar animal will also likely enjoy accompanying you on astral journeys (in astral form, of course) and thus will appear often in your dreams and such. Most people have a sort of psychic connection to their familiar, so he may seem to have an uncanny ability to understand your needs and desires- even if you are pretending to feel otherwise (i.e. being polite) your familiar may behave in a way that supports your true feelings, thus, it's very important that he be well trained and obedient. Stand, stay, come, heel, watch me, leave it, all very important commands for a canine familiar.
My familiar is long dead - my old cat was weirdly intelligent. I used to dream that he was talking to me in a human voice. In waking hours, he had a strange symbiosis around what I was dong and thinking and seemed to understand things very deeply. For this reason, he is still my familiar - he sleeps on my bed in my astral plane and we meet up. If you feel like that about your dog, he's the one.
I'm crying now, I just can't handle animals dieing, even if the do become one with the universe. T-T. But usually they'll act there selves, but you will probably feel a stronger energy flow and a deeper understanding of each other. The feeling of connection with your animal differs of what species and personality. But being raised with familiars you will know deep down that your energy is connected
Just because you’re a witch and have a pet it does not mean that animal is your familiar. Family maybe, not familiar. In fact that is a very new age understanding of “the witch’s familiar”, and historically inaccurate. There are different kinds of familiars which have been noted to be bestowed upon the witch in various ways, but buying it from the pet store isn’t one. Now perhaps your pet could serve as the vessel for your familiar to inhabit, like possession in a sense. I suggest reading some of Emma Wilby’s research on the subject and get a better understanding of what a witch’s familiar actually is.
