It was 2 years ago yesterday, July 8,
2013 we said a sad goodbye to our 16 1/2 year old
dachshund Sprite. Since he's been on the other side, though, he's come
back several times to let us know he's still around. This year was no
different.

| Sprite's Butterfly |
In 2013, three days after Sprite passed, after Tom and I took
our other three dogs for a walk, we brought them into the backyard, and
Sprite gave us all a sign in the form of a butterfly.
First, it's unusual for a butterfly to fly near dogs and that's exactly
what that yellow and black butterfly did- and for quite awhile.
Secondly, the
dogs didn't go after it. They just watched it. It was as if they heard
Sprite telling them "I'm here." The butterfly just stayed
there on the grass and I actually took pictures of it. It was a message
from Sprite that he is fine and
regained 100% health as a spirit.
Spirits can manipulate things
in nature, and Sprite loves to use yellow and black butterflies because
since 2013, several friends have seen them when they have read about
Sprite.
On my way to work on July 8, 2015, Sprite gave me the
same sign. I was not thinking of Sprite as I was rushing to get to work -
but spirits come by on birthdays, anniversaries and holidays to remind
us they are around.
After leaving the house, I went through the
Dunkin' Donuts drive through to get coffee. After pulling out of the
parking lot and getting on the road to work, a yellow and black
butterfly flew right toward the windshield, close enough for me to see
it clearly, before it flew off. Sprite had given me a reminder that he
is still around on the second anniversary of his passing.
