Those of us who love our pets know they are as much a part
of the family as any human is. Our
constant companions, pals and best buddies, when our pets pass away, or worse
yet, if we have to make a humane decision to euthanize, we grieve.
Recently a close friend of mine had to make this type of
decision. Her beloved dog of 13 years suffered with arthritis and after three
years of helping him to stand, laying awake at night to listen for him should
he be pacing in pain at night and taking him about in a wagon when he couldn’t
walk his usual routes anymore, she finally made the decision with her family to
put him down.
She and I cried together over this painful decision process,
and then afterwards, she was inconsolable. Still unsure as to whether or not
she made the right decision, missing her best friend so greatly; I reached out
to the other side to see if her pet was all right on the other side and to see
if there was anything I could offer to her to help her understand that her
pooch was at peace.
As I entered a meditative place I looked for Murdock, her
dog, on the other side. I saw him
running, and playing in high grass, as he wasn’t able to do in years past. He
was happy, I could see that. I
tried to communicate with him, not in words, but in the pictures and
impressions that I communicate with all spirits. He showed me that he remembered being brought
home by my friend when he was a puppy. He remembered someone speaking Spanish.
He also told me that he was with my friend’s stepfather, who
had passed away about a year before.
I knew the man’s name, but didn’t really know if he had much interaction
with the dog in life, as they didn’t live in the same city. In my mind I saw Murdock, the dog,
running around the stepfather (David) joyfully, playing, really by himself,
while David merely held his hands out to him. Murdock lay down in the grass beside him, and I knew that
they were together.
A few days later I traveled home to visit my friend and
share her grief and listen to her stories about Murdock’s last days. We cried. As usual I hesitated to tell her my thoughts and impressions
about Murdock, as my psychic abilities were not something we really talked
about at length within our friendship.
I felt compelled though, so I dove in.
“I have to tell you something…” I said sheepishly and she
just smiled slowly, as if she was preparing herself for a revelation.
“I set out to look for Murdock on Monday night, I knew you
said you were going to take him to the vet on Monday, but I wasn’t sure if you
went through with it, so I looked for him on the other side. I found him.”
I then relayed the rest of my impressions, including my
images of Murdock and her stepfather together.
“Interesting. As far as the Spanish goes, my friend Maria
was with me when I got him. She is Spanish…the thing with David is kind of
weird Diane, David wasn’t really close with Murdock…”
“I know…” I said, I had gotten that impression as well…. “ I
am just telling you what I see… but overall, you have to know that Murdock
thanks you for what you did for him, and that he is always going to be your
Boy…”
We cried, embraced, and I left shortly thereafter.
The next day I got a phone call from my friend.
“ I have to tell you something,” she started, “after you
left last night my Mom called, and I told her what you said about Murdock. I told her what you said about him
being with David, (her Mothers second husband.)”
“After I told her what you said about them being together my
Mom was really amazed. She said she had been praying for David to find Murdock
and be with him…can you believe that??”
“Wow.”
I guess David, or someone, heard her prayers.
The reason I am sharing this story is this: I just wanted to
remind any of you out there that your pets do have spirit, souls, and energy
that passes out of this life and into the next. Their personalities are not lost when they die, and they do
live on as do we all…just in another form.

Wow, that's a great story. I have often envisioned my dog 'hanging out' with the dog I had as a kid, that they were friends and happily romping around the galaxies! It's nice to know that share that knowledge too! Thanks for stopping by my blog today, I appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteMy daughters much loved dog visits her often in spirit form. She senses him at her side, snuffling her hand. She's the least "psychic" person, and totally not interested in the paranormal, so this is why I believe that gizmo really does come back to her.
