Just wanted to share a sad, yet amazing, experience.
It was a very sad day yesterday, and yet, in one shining moment my view of life was changed forever. Our friend and companion for 14 1/2 years departed our world leaving a large void in our lives but, before he truly left on his journey, he gave my wife and I a gift of peace. Our Dog, Jake, had been terminally ill for some time and my wife and I had agreed that at the first sign of pain or suffering we would let him go. The time came and, as hard a decision as it was, we honored that promise. He passed peacefully last night with my wife and I by his side. Though we knew it was the right thing to do, the sadness was overwhelming for both of us. He had been a huge part of our life and now he was gone. After his passing, we sat on the back porch reminiscing, sometimes laughing but mostly crying. As I sat in a moment of silence, I felt a strange urge to go lay in the grass where Jake and I used to play. I laid there alone looking up at the stars. I closed my eyes and instantaneously he was there. I could feel him running around me playing as if he was a puppy again. As I got up I told my wife to go to the spot where was laying because he was there. As she laid down I could tell she could feel it too. Here sobs quickly turned to laughter as she felt his presence. Then came the true gift that is difficult to explain. I was sitting in the chair on the patio as my wife came back from the yard. Right as she sat down, a surge of energy literally passed through my body and I instantly knew it was Jake's energy. It filled every part of my being with an inner peace and an overwhelming understanding that he was okay and in a better place. The urge to cry had left me in that second as I felt him say goodbye. I looked across the table and could see by the look on my wife's face that he had passed through her as well. at exactly the same time we both said "Oh my god, did you feel that?" A smile came across her face and she said "Jake is okay, he's happy and wanted to let us know that before he left" And I could only answer with "I know". Jake left an indelible mark on our lives during his 14 1/2 years and now he has left an even more profound mark on use after his death. My perception of the soul is so much clearer now and, for that, no words could ever thank him enough for the true gift he gave us last night! Goodbye for now my friend, I will see you on the other side.

Here, OP:








Some linebreaks for you.
"The world will soon wake up to the reality that everyone is broke and can collect nothing from the bankrupt, who are owed unlimited amounts by the insolvent, who are attempting to make late payments on a bank holiday in the wrong country, with an unacceptable currency, against defaulted collateral, of which nobody is sure who holds title."

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

The woman who is not pursued sets up the doctrine that pursuit is offensive to her sex, and wants to make it a felony. No genuinely attractive woman has any such desire. - H.L. Mencken, In Defense Of Women

Nice story Op. had to put my dog down a little less than 2 years ago..was among the worst things my wife and I had to do. Still miss him much.

However, losing an animal is NOT the same as losing a child. Totally different things. Perspective.

The only reason I agree with AC is my wife was unable to have children and Jake managed to fill that void that she felt. All of our friends referred to him as her son. I know it's not the same, but sometimes a pet is more than "just another animal" to some people.

Re: Just wanted to share a sad, yet amazing, experience.
Got a dog for our first child - died at 1.5 due to cancer. Side note: we had gotten a 2nd dog as a companion to the first when she was about 1. Anyway, it really hit us all hard. She had always layed at the bottom of our bed at night...a place we frequently played/fought/wrestled...just being a puppy.

A few days after she died, I woke up in the middle of the night to a dog biting at my feet, scurrying around. I was awake by now and yelling to knock it off. It kept going and I yelled out her name - not really thinking at that point, and I even kicked at the sheets.

Then I looked down and there was no dog there. I assumed it was the other dog, but she wasn't in the room. I OPENED our door to check my son's room, and the 2nd dog was there.

I guess she stopped by for one last romp.

It does make me feel a little better, but we still miss her a lot.
