My thoughts and prayers are with each of you who lives the absence of a beloved four-legged. My experience is that my dogs are angels in a fur body, who come at particular times in our life to companion us. 🤍🤍🤍
I felt every step of your journey with your beloved Kula~ Angels, for sure, accompanying us at just the right time in our lives. Oh Pegge, my prayers are with you and huge hugs surround you with love and admiration for your writing and presence in this virtual space where spirits connect. :)
Oh Pegge, you writ so eloquently of that bond we have with our fur kids. It brought back memories of Ruffles who left us last year. I know the grief you are going through...along with all the other grief you are already carrying. Be gentle with yourself and take care of you. hugs and more hugs.
Well, I'm sitting here with tears streaming down my cheeks because I've been with dogs as they've died and felt their courage with pain and lack of fear about dying. It's just the next thing and they are right with it. So much depends on how WE are with them as they prepare to go. I think they know ahead of time. I think they still want to make us happy or protect us, and the greatest service we can do is let them have their process and honor it, as you have done so magnificently. This weirdly specific skill pertains to so much else in life. Yes, I do feel they are angelic helpers, relaying messages to us in the purest way. I have experienced how they stick around and come as the feeling of a sudden presence in the room, or near the body, or as a vision as you're falling asleep, or in a dream itself. With Kula, I think she lived in love and included you in her love bubble. She loved sharing it with you.
Oh Penney, thank you so very much for your wise insight and understanding. Tears bubble with your thought of Kula—that she lived in love and included me in her love bubble, and loved sharing it with me. This feels so very real. I’ll meditate with this u deranging and feel it. 🤍 I feel your love and care too—thank you.
I, too, was sobbing reading this exquisite tribute to your beloved Kula. I’m so sorry this was her time to go, and how heartbreaking and sweet that she waited for your return. I love what Penney said about how you were able to be with her as she went, and how clearly she told you no surgery…this was her time. You gave her such a beautiful, magnificent life — and vice versa! I know she is still with you every day from doggie heaven, but nonetheless such a heart-wrenching feeling not to have her at your side and lighting up the house with her presence. What a miracle, Kula, and thank you for sharing with us so beautifully here ❤️🩹
Your piece is stomach-churning with sadness and stuck tears…too much for me to handle at this moment…so much resonance.
Pooka was my soul dog and we grew up together, only when we met I was already 21.
We grew together in hair/fur colors…not sure how.
We took her boating, swimming and always mountain hiking. She loved it all.
When I got a huge dog (not remembering the breed right now), she walked underneath him to see who is at the door.
She developed cancer in her mouth and bled across the floor in droplets.
I took her to homeopathic vet and made her healthy food every day.
One night she was in the yard, just sitting and letting the snow completely cover her as a blanket. Her vet said to tell her it’s OK to go. She was 18 1/2 years old.
She passed away on my lap, and I still remember her head falling slowly down to rest forever. This was about 45 years ago. She’ll always be my favorite.
Oh Ruthie, thank you for sharing about your Pooka—I can imagine how blessed her life with you was, as together you shared these many years. So much love in her memory and energy that is with you still. Much love in your memories of your companion and favorite girl. 🩷🩷🩷

Thank you Pegge for sharing. We just lost our dear Panda Bear last year. Your words comforted me. You will be in our prayers. Big hugs my friend.

So beautiful. I know this feeling too well. Such a sad time. Our beloved canine soul mates…

Thank you, Pegge. I can’t believe I’m just so sentimental that I started to cry when I read your response.
I think this is what love does and how it lives in us, in all its facets with a mighty kindness that is sometimes tears. Peace be with you!
And you as well. ❤️☮️❤️
