This is story from my day at the Richmond Pet Expo promoting my book "Pets and the Afterlife."
In
this blog you'll hear an amazing paranormal story from two attendees
who are friends and neighbors. Right after I gave my talk about my book
"Pets and the Afterlife" two women came over to talk with me.
SIGNS FROM A NEIGHBOR'S SPIRIT- One
of the women, I'll call her Mary, had a tiny peach colored teacup
poodle in her arms who couldn't cuddle enough. Mary said that the dog
belonged to her late neighbor Connie. Connie knew that her time was
coming and told Mary that she just wants to make sure her poodle is safe
in a good home. Mary said if none of Connie's children would adopt the
dog, she would take the dog. Connie worked around that by placing a
note-turned-last-will on her kitchen table before she went to the
hospital for the first time, stating "My neighbor Mary is adopting my
dog." So it was.

THE DOG'S GRIEF - Mary
said that she knows the dog has been grieving and seems to be aware of
the passing of Connie. She said that the tiny dogs eyes had streaks of
tears for 2 weeks, and the little dog can't cuddle closely enough to
Mary. Yes, dogs grieve, just as they do when another pet dies. One thing
I've learned from pet spirits (yes, to some it would sound crazy) is
that they want us to get another dog and give him/her the love that was
given to them.
NEIGHBOR'S SPIRIT INFLUENCES A WIN -
The other woman (I'll call Betty) who was there with Mary didn't have a
dog. But Betty noted that all of Connie's (the late neighbor) feral
cats had come into her yard when Connie passed (and there was no food
outside anymore) looking for food. Betty said she began to feed them and
there were several. Just before she came to the Pet Expo, she was
trying to figure out how she would afford cat food for many feral cats! T

benefit.
Betty and Mary both said they weren't planning to come to the Pet Expo,
but decided last minute "as if being pushed" (said Mary). When they got
there, Mary needed to hear how I talked about a spirit's influence on
our decisions. So did Betty. As soon as they arrived, they heard about a
Karaoke contest and entered it singing
"Cats in the Cradle."
So, I asked what happened. Betty said "We won $1,000.00 worth of cat food, can you believe it?"
Yup. THAT'S EXACTLY how spirits work. Connie's spirit pushed Mary and
Betty to the expo knowing that Mary needed to know about influencing
spirits and the grief the little dog was showing was real. Betty needed
to be able to afford to feed Connie's feral cats and now she can.
BOTTOM LINE: Next time you think people (or pets) on the other side can't influence you for the better, they can.
Did you know that there's a ghostly face on the cover of my first book "Ghosts and Spirits: Insights from a Medium"?
