In October, I received an email from Erin who was dealing with the grief of losing her precious Dachshund Betty Sue. Betty Sue provided me with some signs that she's around her mom today in spirit. Pets will often convey things to me that they experienced in their daily lives, just as people in spirit do.
When people send me photos and the name of their pets, and any question they want to know, I usually can connect with them. Spirits share information about their lives and habits that only they and their pet parents know- it's different for every one of them- and that's how they confirm their identity.
When I saw Betty Sue's photos, they brought tears of love to my eyes. She has such a deep love for her mom and dad from spirit.
Erin graciously allowed me to share this blog post so that others would have an idea of how their dogs and cats can also communicate. -Rob
EMAIL FROM ERIN ABOUT BETTY SUE THE DACHSHUND
Hi. I am almost
finished reading your book Pets & the Afterlife. I just lost my
little dachshund, Betty Sue, about 2 weeks ago & am having a very
hard time. She was my best friend for over 15 years & saw every
important day in
my life. I am still feeling extremely guilty over the decision to put
her to sleep. Can you let me know if she has any messages for me? I have
already found a lot of comfort in the words from your book & look
for signs everywhere now that she is still with
me. Thank you in advance.
MESSAGES I RECEIVED FROM BETTY SUE:
I told Erin "I can
sense the fiesty-ness in her and the intense love she shares with you.
She's showing me that she followed you everywhere. She still does!
The
main thing is to not feel guilt about helping her pass. She was ready.
She's telling me that she let you know because she wasn't eating... is
that right?
As a Dachshund dad, I know that there's nothing that keeps a Dachshund from their food... but that was a sign from her.
I mentioned
that Betty Sue will show up from time to time, in things that remind
Erin of her, or Erin may hear her (like a faint bark)... or those cute
little feet/nails running across the floor."
CONFIRMATION FROM ERIN:
You are 100% right.
Betty Sue fought kidney failure for 13 months. I gave her fluids twice a
week since the day she was diagnosed. She had recently started losing
weight rapidly & lost a pound & a half in just 2 months, which
is
a huge amount considering she was only 8 pounds to start with. She
refused to eat the last 2 days of her life.
I
heard a faint bark during the night, the same day that she was put to
sleep. Our other dog growled all night long that night which was very
unusual. The next morning I found a big pink flower with a yellow
butterfly
sleeping in it. I felt like that was kind of a sign.
Then I
downloaded your book & was shocked to read the similarities between
your dachshund's last days compared to Betty's: the similarities were
almost identical! Then I saw the pic of the little black dachshund
in your book & thought that was another sign! Of course then I read
the rest of your book about all of the signs that spirits send to us to
let us know they are still around. I couldn't believe how many signs I
had seen!
Erin also confirmed that Betty Sue was fiesty and called her "Sassy!"
FOLLOW UP SIGN FROM SPIRIT - Spirits can also make things happen to help us - including making a photo that we're searching for appear in front of us! This email from Erin on Oct. 27 gave another proof that Betty Sue is around her:
Erin said "I've included yet another picture of Betty Sue. I looked everywhere for
this picture a few days ago but couldn't find it. Today it popped up in
'Memories' on Facebook. It's a picture of Betty Sue with her head
hanging out of the window of our truck, ears
flapping in the wind, while we're 4-wheeling on the beach at the Outer
Banks. We try to go there every year on vacation & she went every
time. She just loved going to the beach & digging in the sand. I'll
always miss her sassy self."
