How beautiful that she helped heal you.<br /><br />Wow, a dove...a sign of peace. Trust your "wondering" ... sure sounds like a lovely sign. <br /><br />I see animals/pets like angels sent on an assignment. Your sweet puppy who grew so quickly and helped you heal while she was in your life perhaps was meant for another human assignment. If my current dog, Maddie, (now 9 1/2 years old)had not been surrendered to the shelter at 10 months of age, she would not have been able to complete her mission with us, and then where would we be?<br /><br />She took your love with her...Dawn Kairnshttp://dawnkairns.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7467425833527005893.post-23613843199748194212014-11-12T19:49:15.495-07:002014-11-12T19:49:15.495-07:00I tried to fill the loss of my companion of almost...I tried to fill the loss of my companion of almost thirteen years with another pet. It was too soon and my son was too young. The puppy grew to 80 pounds quickly and she became a danger. It was very difficult to surrender her because she helped heal some of my broken places, but my son took priority. When we came home from the shelter, still heavy with sadness, a dove was resting in the yard. I wondered if that was a sign from God that we'd done the right thing. I still miss her and the dogs I've loved before her.

She never failed to make me laugh even when she was being ornery. It's been five months since she passed, but my husband and I still feel her presence in so many ways. Advice to others experiencing the loss of a pet: Remain alert and in the present and your pet's spirit will visit with you. It's very comforting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
