I know a lot of people do not want to get another pet when one passes away, but...think of all the poor sweet gentle animals that only want to be loved and cared for. Many must be put down simply because the shelters are filled to capacity and no one took them home to be loved. Just a thought to consider. I have rescued many pets and have never regretted it. The unconditional love I received in return was priceless.
I hope our pain will soon be over.
This is actually the first time I suffered a real loss. It's terrible.
Not wishful thinking, it's explainable by coincidence.

She was 15 years old and we had her since she was 6 months.. never any complications or issues with her.. until the last 6 months - where quality of life became painful. I couldn't go into the operating room at the vets - a friend had to come with me to the vets and go in for me while I sat outside :/
There are only two times in life when I haven't been able to 'face the music'. My dog getting put down a few years ago and my father passing earlier this year..
Life is tough

Sorry to all involved but I had to alert this thread to the mods,
Its the first time I have ever used the alert and am not sure if my opinion is correct but I find some of the posts by a certain poster very offensive.

When I went overseas far far away, I could feel her spirit lie down in my bed beside me. Quite a gentle spirit like a little human girl.
I made this reply the next day I strongly felt my dog's presence settling down to sleep with me in my bed, thousands of miles away from home working overseas.
My dog was very alive then (apparently, she already had malignant tumor that didn't show symptoms 'til the last few days ). Two weeks later (three days ago), she died. I didn't know 'til today. My parents did not tell me until now.
three days ago, the day my dog died, I had a very vivid dream about my dog, I knew nothing of what was happening in real life and still thought she is up and about and full of life. I rarely dream about my dog but in that dream, it was my best dream of her. I dreamed I was back home and she was home. She looked exactly like when she was three years old, full of vigor and life. She came running to and licked my face, welcoming me home - she was probably dead by this time.
She was quite a special dog. I had a prophetic dream of her coming to our house a few months we took her as a 1 month old pup. The reason I mentioned her as astral projecting because I saw astral projecting several times, seeing her astral form, exactly like her physical form. She sometimes accompanied me in my astral projections too, and one time, she chased an evil spirit away. She astral projected to me one last time two weeks before she died and appeared once more in my dream - in her death bed.
I do not wish to post pictures of her, it just makes me cry. But she actually resembles me a little bit, she has a bit of my eye in my avatar.
She welcomed me home when her spirit has gone. The scene in the dream was exactly like the scene towards the end of the film "Hachiko" when the loyal dog died and met his loyal dead owner in spirit.
The Spirit who was guiding me told me I might die very soon. This coincides with the message I received from my dog who welcomes me home in some sort of Heaven.
Prophetic circumstances surrounding my dog happened without a miss. I could just be misinterpreting things but if my interpretation is right then I guess it's farewell soon. I am in perfect health so I doubt I would die naturally, probably in some heroic struggle, I hope. But I am not bothered at all. I have no family of my own. I already told my parents about the dream with my dog so they don't miss a thing.
If I do die, I might try to get back but don't expect me making posts about the netherworld. Find it out yourself (without dying!). Because if you knew now, there's no longer any point in the whole exercise of the meaning of life.
I miss her so much my only comfort is knowing that a part of her continued to live in me.

Sorry for your loss, JD. This is beautiful and touching on so many levels. I do think these beings we spend our lives with let us know they're still with us after they leave this plane and that we are forever part of each other because we live in each other's hearts and memories and souls, just like the people we love. And maybe our connection with them is even more profound than many we have with humans because it's a deeper way they have to communicate this to us...on a deeper level...because they don't have words. Peace.
