Spirits of 2 Collie Dogs Hitch a Ride for Different People

This dog looks like the Collie that paid me a visit

A couple of weeks ago I gave a talk about how pets communicate with us from spirit at the Women's Club in Linthicum, Maryland.
   It was a good example of how 2 spirits come together to give a similar message to 2 different people.
  As I was driving there, the spirit of a Collie dog came into my pickup truck and told me that he has a message for someone at the talk. The collie was hitching a ride to my event because she/he had a message of comfort.
   What I found odd was that I couldn't discern the sex of the Collie. Usually I don't have any trouble with it. 
  Sometimes 2 spirits will come to a medium together with a similar message for two different people. That's what happened here. That's why couldn't figure out whether the Collie was a male or female. It was actually one female Collie and one male Collie coming together with messages for TWO different sets of pet parents.
   The spirit(s) said they were around the pet parent all the time from the other side .
   He/she showed me how he/she liked to stand up on his front two paws and act proudly, showing a large area of white fur on his/her chest.
   At the end of my talk I mentioned the collie and asked if someone knew who he belonged to. One of the women in attendance said that is her dad's dog and her dad was really missing him. In this case the Collie was a male. She was happy to get a confirmation that her dad's companion is still walking with and watching over her dad.
  Another woman, whom I'll call Margaret, understood the message from the Collie. And in her case, the Collie was a female named Cindy. Margaret had been thinking of Cindy before the talk and when that happens, spirit "hears" those thoughts - because they're energy and spirits are energy - and came through.

Pets and the Afterlife by Rob Gutro

BOTTOM LINE:   Spirits will come to people that know someone who needs to hear from them if they can't get directly to the intended person. This beautiful Collie came to me as I was driving to the event because his Dad and her  Mom needed to get that SAME message.

Blade the Dog Sends a Special Coin and Gives me a "Left-sided" message

Recently I received an email from a woman named Elizabeth whose dog Blade had passed. She wrote

Blade's Special Coin

 me asking about a special coin that she found and wanted to know what it meant.
  SPIRITS SEND US COINS - Spirits often send us coins after they pass as a way of confirming they are fine on the other side, and still around us from time to time. Moving a coin or anything from someplace to right in front of us is called an apport- and it takes a lot of energy. When you find a coin, check the YEAR, because it could indicate which spirit is thinking of you. My dad often sends coins dated 2008, the year he passed. My mom and our dog Sprite sends coins dated 2013, the year that they both passed. Usually I find the coins whenever I happen to be thinking of them. That means they are around when I think of them, and they send a coin as confirmation.
   ELIZABETH'S SPECIAL COIN FROM BLADE - Elizabeth wrote: Blade was 16 years old. His name is Blade.  His was mostly blonde with some white on his chest and toes.
  We had him since he was 4 months old. My husband and I miss him so much! I found a guardian angel coin the week after he died. It was strange how I found it. I was pacing on the sidewalk here at work and on my way back into the building I saw it right in front of my feet! When I came into the building I looked it up and the internet told me the coin was called a : Guardian Angel Coin. I have never seen those before in my life. I felt that Blade dropped it for me. Can you verify this??
   MY RESPONSE  - THE COIN AND A LEFT-SIDED MESSAGE I RECEIVED FROM BLADE

Blade

The Guardian Angel Coin was a sign from Blade. It takes a lot of energy to do move something from one place to another -that's called an "Apport." The energy that Blade required was drawn from the positive energy of your love. Spirits often do that with monetary coins - usually the year indicates who it is that is giving you a message (based on birth dates, dates of passing, anniversaries, adoption years, etc).    So that special coin really is  fantastic.  
  Blade gave me a couple of other signs I provided Elizabeth - and the next one confirmed they were from him:)
  Blade wants you to put that coin in the car, so he'll continue to "ride with you!" He's giving a happy grin with his tongue hanging to one side (left side) - I'm unsure if he used to do that, but it's definitely on his left side. Did he also look at you from the left side of his face? I keep seeing the left side of his face, looking at you both.

  ELIZABETH'S CONFIRMATION! -
  The left side of his face thing threw me off at first but then I started thinking about his right eye and how it had a growth in the lid and how it was difficult for him to see through his right eye.  So, from his perspective he probably was always looking at us from the left! So, yes that makes total sense to me now.

Q&A about How Anyone can Sense Spirit

Rob Gutro at the Strathmore

I gave a talk about "Signs from Loved Ones" at the Strathmore Mansion in Bethesda, Maryland
during an afternoon tea last month, and there were a lot of questions. One of the topics was how anyone can sense spirits, and here's the question and answer:

Q: I don't have the ability to sense ghosts or spirits and want to know how it's possible to get it?

A: Everyone has the ability, they just need to trust what they get. Here's what I mean. First, it's all about ENERGY. Ghosts and spirits are energy coupled with memories, personality and knowledge (that's people or animals, btw). Every one of us has sensed energy at some time.

Main stairway in the Strathmore

For example, if you've ever walked into a crowded room and thought "I'd like to talk with that person," or "I think I need to stay away from that person" you're sensing their emotional energy - and it either meshes with your or doesn't. Further, if you've ever entered a home or business and felt uncomfortable or peaceful in it, you're sensing the residual energy in it. (residual energy is emotional energy like a thumbprint that people left behind (who dwelled there before).

My table and books at the Strathmore

Sensing energy is what Mediums do. They just sense the energy of people or pets who passed.

Fun at the South Florida Pet Expo and Messages

 I  worked at the south Florida Pet Expo over the weekend of Nov. 4 and 5  where I gave a talk about my "Pets and the Afterlife" books and had a table, where I sold them. 

Sylvia's sister, Rob, Sylvia

   I met some nice folks, and really enjoyed talking with my neighbors in the booth next to me: Sherry and Sylvia who sold Shamy absorbent towels. They were fun and made the time pass (since not many people came to my table).

AMAZING VISITOR - A woman named Sylva and her husband Bud, and Sylva's sister and husband all drove 6 hours from Clearwater, Florida to Fort Lauderdale to meet me! Sylva had lost her poodle named Missy earlier in the year and bought and read my newest book "Pets and the Afterlife 2" about how pets communicate from spirit. She said she was so comforted by the book that she had to drive over and meet me at the expo (she learned of my appearance on my book's website).  That was really humbling.

Rob and his black lab companion

MISSY'S MESSAGES -Sylva's sister said that she had dreamt of Missy the toy poodle after Missy passed. She also said that she felt Missy's spirit jump on her bed (spirits will go to people they know will pass the message if the person they're intended for is blocking them with feelings of grief). So, while standing there, Missy had me ask Sylva if she saw a Missy  look-alike. Sylva then recalled she did!  She said someone drove into the cul-de-sac where she lives and in their car they had a toy poodle that looked like Missy. Sylva spoke to the people in the car, and found out THAT dog's name was also "Missy"!  What an amazing sign.

The black lab who kept me company

DOGGY COMPANION - One of the people who came to the expo was a middle-aged woman who had to 2 black Labrador Retrievers. One was on a leash and the other was very lame in his back legs and followed behind. When I saw the struggle the dog was having keeping up, I offered to let the dog stay with me at my booth, and he did. I could tell how grateful the dog was to not be dragged through the expo. At least I had company!

More Proof of the Intelligence of Dogs (re: Pets and the Afterlife)

I  love Science- and when I give lectures about how pets, like dogs, are intelligent and can communicate with people and other animals in the physical world, I explain the science of behaviors, learning, and even how it has been proven that they have the same emotional responses that humans have. Now  a recent scientific study at Yale University with dogs and then children tested their ability to problem solve faster. Dogs won. 
  It's really not a surprise to us, since we see how smart our dogs are figuring out puzzles and how do to things. Here's the info about the study and a brief video explaining the experiment.

Dogs ignore bad advice that humans follow

By Bill Hathaway

    Dogs are less likely to follow bad advice than children, according to a new study conducted at the Canine Cognition Center at Yale. In contrast to children, dogs only copy a human’s actions if they are absolutely necessary for solving the task at hand, according to a recently published study appearing in the journal Developmental Science.
  “Humans often fall prey to the bad advice of others” said Laurie Santos, director of the Canine Cognition Center at Yale and senior author on this study. “Children tend to copy all of a teacher’s actions, regardless of whether they are necessary or not.”
  For instance, in one study previously conducted at Yale by Dr. Frank Keil and colleagues, children watched a demonstrator solve a puzzle by first moving a lever and then lifting a lid to pull out a prize.    
   Although the lever was completely irrelevant for solving the puzzle, children repeatedly performed both actions, even when they were in a race to solve the puzzle as quickly as possible.
The new study shows that dogs will leave out irrelevant actions when there is a more efficient way to solve a problem, even when a human repeatedly demonstrates these actions.

Keep in Mind When Reading Pets and the Afterlife: Communication applies to ALL domesticated pets

Recently I received a note from a cat parent who started reading "Pets and the Afterlife 2 - How Pets Give us Signs" and she said that her cat recently passed. She said " It seems the the primary focus is on dogs which I find distracting. Once in awhile a story about a cat is thrown in. Disappointed."

My Response:   I understand that the reader wanted mostly cat stories, but the book explains that although one story may be a sign from a dog - a cat could easily give the same sign!   I provide examples of how ANY domesticated pet (cats, dogs, pigs, etc.) can communicate. Although a good number of the stories are about dogs,  there are also many stories (and large chapters) about cats, too.When you're reading any book about how pets communicate you need a baseline because you can't be an expert in every animal.

  As I explain in the beginning of my books, I use dogs as a baseline (because they are easier to train and there is more information about their behavior). Regardless- it's about domesticated pets. 

The bottom line is that the stories of how they communicate - whether dogs or cats - doesn't matter, because those are the ways they both can communicate!

Haunting (4 min) Video: A Few Odd Minutes in Howard County: Patapsco Female Institute (Interview of Rob Gutro)

Explanations of What Ghosts and Spirits Really are on Halloween (and year 'round)

Halloween happens tomorrow, and if you're curious about the truth about what a ghost is, and what a spirit is, and the difference, check out Rob Gutro's updated/revised book "Ghosts and Spirits." It was updated this year and you'll learn all about the paranormal and read some amazing stories about hauntings in various places and how spirits of loved ones come through and give messages.   The cover contains a photo of the Ghostly face of an actor that haunts the Bird Cage Theatre in Arizona, as the visage appeared in front of a painting of an actress (that hangs in the lobby of the Bird Cage).  Available in paperback and E-book on Amazon.com (Get the version with the purple border, as it's the NEW version. Used copies on Amazon are the old version). 

 Paranormal Author Revises Breakthrough Book: "Ghosts and Spirits"

Look for the purple border for the new volume

WASHINGTON -- Author and paranormal investigator Rob Gutro has updated and revised his breakthrough paranormal book "Ghosts and Spirits" for 2016. The author's four books have all reached best-seller status in Amazon.com's supernatural category.   

"Ghosts and Spirits" was Gutro's first book, originally published in 2010. It was the first paranormal book to distinguish the difference and similarities between Earth-bound ghosts and spirits who have crossed over into "Heaven, Valhalla, Paradise, etc." or whatever people call the other side.  

"Look for the purple border to get the 2nd Edition. There are a number of 1st editions on Amazon.com under "used" - so make sure you get the revision."

"One of the most incredible stories in the book is about how my dad's spirit helped me prove to my own family members that he was at his own wake and funeral and around during the entire week of his services," Gutro said. "My dad's spirit also helped me find a number of things for my mother, who lived over 300 miles away."

The author, a medium, paranormal investigator, scientist and dog dad, provides proof that people and pets do communicate with us from the other side. He is a medium with Inspired Ghost Tracking of Md. He sketches out what ghosts look like who are haunting private homes and has received many confirmation from homeowners. He is also a parent to three dogs and is a volunteer with Dachshund and Weimaraner rescues.

"I wrote this book to provide some understanding of the difference between an Earth-bound entity and one who crossed over," Gutro said. Readers will learn about orbs, poltergeists, dark entities, the significance of ashes, what happens to murder and suicide victims, how to experience ghosts, how to cross them over, and more. He has learned that when it comes to spirits, there is no such thing as a coincidence. He cautions though that people should not jump to conclusions and think everything is a sign. "There has to be a personal meaning or connection," he said. 

Rob Gutro, medium, paranormal investigator

In "Ghosts and Spirits" readers will also learn how the author lived in a haunted house, how he experienced many ghosts in historic and other places.

Earlier in 2016 he published his fourth book, "Pets and the Afterlife 2," a follow up to Amazon's best-selling "Pets and the Afterlife," where readers will learn how dogs and cats have the intelligence and ability to send signs to the living after they pass. "Ghosts and Spirits" includes the author's first experience with pet communications thanks to his dog "Buzz" who passed and became "the world's best canine communicator." It was all of the communications from Buzz that inspired him to write his first book.

"I write these books to educate and give people understanding to recognize signs on their own," he said. He doesn't take appointments or do readings but people are always welcome to e-mail or Facebook him.

Rob maintains a weekly blog, Facebook and Twitter pages, where he writes about paranormal topics, and where people can share their stories or find other resources on the paranormal. The new book and his other books "Pets and the Afterlife," "Lessons Learned from Talking to the Dead" are available in paperback and E-book, on Amazon.com and other outlets at: http://tinyurl.com/hp92st7. Published by CreateSpace, Inc.

The author has been featured in the Washington Post, MSNBC, WBZ Newsradio Boston, "Coast to Coast AM" syndicated radio with George Noory, Paranormal TV's "Do You Believe," Paranormal Underground Magazine and U.S., U.K. and Ireland paranormal radio programs such as Unknown Paranormal Radio, Ghost Chronicles Radio, the Haunted Syndicate Pararadio Show and many others.

Fun at Strathmore Mansion and a nice compliment

Tea Room & Talk the Strathmore Mansion in Bethesda, MD invited me to give a talk about"How . 

Spirits Communicate, and a Ghost Investigation" during their tea event

  The crowd was wonderful and had great questions. I was honored that my friends Linda and Lynn were there to support me. 

  One of the ladies that works there and whom purchased my "Pets and the Afterlife" book gave me a nice compliment when she told me that she "loved  the book" and actually keeps it on her nightstand. She said it brings her a lot of comfort. That's exactly what I hoped for when I wrote it!  I'm so humbled. 

  I spoke with so many wonderful people who had questions about ghosts, spirits, people and pets. My thanks to Mary and the staff of the Strathmore for asking me back again, and for the great desserts.  

 In a blog next week, I'll talk about what happens with spirit in accidents and murders.
