Aw, Yogagirl, I'm sorry. But they do know we love them even if we can't be with them. I am completely convinced of that.
Tricia, wise decision, lol. I've never understood why calling someone a dog is supposed to be an insult. They are better than people in so many ways! They should rule the world.
So sorry to hear about your loss. Our pets become our children. Sending love. ? Our sweet girl Lacey.
O M G! She is like a movie star herself! You pinged the picture of my favorite type of dog (I've been begging my husband who is allergic to dogs/cats for one and he refuses!! ? ) Everytime I see a pom I ask him for one. Someday we'll get one but unfortunately those are not hypoallergenic. She's a beauty - thank you for sharing ?
@yogagirl I am so sorry about your kitty. They are such wonderful, funny yet mysterious companions. I’m slavishly devoted to cats and I was so happy to read about your visitor . When my first cat Kealani crossed the rainbow bridge, I was crushed. But I kept seeing flashes of brown (she was a calico) all over the apartment. However, as I was looking so hard, I didn’t see her fully. A year later, when my mind was focused on something else, I dashed into the bedroom and there she was, all of her with her tri-colored coat and bright green eyes!
We suspect she found us our next cat, Pikake, which means Jasmine flower in Hawaiian. I borrowed her name for the forum :-)
@triciact Thank you. Alas, she knows it too, the little diva!
i had also meant to say I love your story about Ibbles. I work quite closely with animal communicators and they tell me our pets hear, understand and know everything - especially the more evolved ones. Yes, they too have to work on their consciousness, which bounces off ours. The more we treat them as equals, the more rapid their evolution on their own spiritual path. Sounds to me Ibbles understood everything very clearly.
@lawrence, that yellow slicker cracks me up! What a cutie pie.
@pikake, your kitty is gorgeous. And she clearly knows it!
@triciact, "I dropped my ex and kept the dog" ... ? ? ? It makes me think of that scene from "Legally Blonde," when Elle Woods' manicurist friend shows up at the trailer where her ex is living. He thinks she's there to beg him to come back, and she says, "I'm taking the dog, dumbass!"
I've been there, Tricia; unfortunately my ex and I didn't have a dog, so it took me a lot longer to wise up. Well, at least your ex gave you a wonderful farewell gift! Who knows how much longer you would have stayed if Ibbles hadn't been there? The name Ibbles suits him; he looks like a real character.
