@deetoo You’ve such a wonderful gift - feeling Gracie’s presence and her reincarnation must have been comforting. I was too obtuse to fully sense Kealani, so I had to work with animal communicators. In her memory, I started a cat-centric publishing company and we donate a % of net proceeds to help cats in need. A more sustainable legacy rather than a one-off donation made more sense to me - as if every time a book is sold, some distressed cat would be helped in her name.
Within 6 months, I ached for the warm presence of a cat and the Universe arranged for us to find our beautiful Pikake.
Are you planning to adopt another dog soon? ❤️
@pikake, what a beautiful tribute to Kealani -- a cat-centric publishing company! Is your background in publishing?
My husband and I were planning to adopt another dog this spring, and then this pandemic hit. Hopefully we can still do that.
@polarberry, What do you call the offspring of a cantaloupe and a collie?
A melon-collie-baby.
I have so enjoyed all the posts here on this thread ... and especially your beautiful Pikake ...
Looking into those lovely infinite eyes of hers, that reflect such wisdom and amusement at our 'human folly'..... ?
How lucky you are to have such a sweet grace in your life ...
She reminds me of the Dalai Lama's favorite little companion ...?
Im on mobile and option to upload an image doesnt exist for me. Oh well
I found a picture of a family pet he was a Rottweiler mix and thought he was a lap dog, he chased and ate rocks, and would lay by my feet at night. My grandma got him from the shelter and they said he was a Chihuahua but later found out what his breed really was and he was gonna be to big for her to handle so we took him in. He moved to NY with my family and got hit by a car on Memorial day and passed on. I didn't know at first it was him but i had a feeling something happened and it overwhelmed me with sadness.
Aw, @ratbum, I'm sorry you can't upload the images. I'l love to see the pics. Perhaps at some point you'll find a way to do it.
@laynara, what a beautiful Rottweiler mix! Such soulful eyes.
So sorry about your furry loved ones. Dee, what a gift to have felt Gracie afterwards! That's the hard part about our furry family. ?
Laynara: I'm so sorry about your adorable rottweiler mix. Funny that she thought it was a Chihuahua at first! The face is very sweet. HUGS to you both! xo
Did you guys know cats enjoy mice cream on a hot day?
what a beautiful tribute to Kealani -- a cat-centric publishing company! Is your background in publishing?
@deetoo Those are very nice words, thank you. Like many people, I have reinvented myself many times. My background is writing & then investing and now ghostwriting, although increasingly I want to focus on writing and publishing cat books. Definitely a crazy cat lady here.
Thank you all for your kind words and stories. It's almost a week since Charcoal died and it keeps hitting me in waves. But I know it will get better. And if reincarnation is real (I remain open-minded both ways) he will come back to me if it's the right thing.
