A Review I Like: from Podcast Host and Film Producer Bob Heske (Afraid of Nothing)

 Here's a review of my Pets and the Afterlife 3 book  from Bob Heske, famous film producer
and paranormal podcaster of the "Afraid of Nothing" series:

5.0 out of 5 stars A book about hope and overcoming grief -- two paws up!

I may be biased, but Pets in the Afterlife 3 could be the best in the series.

2020 was a tough year for us all, and especially for Rob Gutro who suffered the loss of two canine children - a presidential Dachshund called Franklin and a warm Weimaraner named Dolly. As was the case with the first pup Rob lost named "Buzz" over 15 years ago, both of these beloved pets reappeared with messages for Rob and his husband Tom. Those two chapters are perhaps the most amazing and uncanny in the book - but there's lots more, including a section on how to deal with grief and a plethora of inspirational stories of dogs in the afterlife. If you've lost a pet, he or she is there speaking to you, if only you know how to listen. A must read or gift for anyone who has lost a four-legged friend.

16 Years Ago Today: Here's How My Dog Buzz Changed the World

Today, February 22nd, is the anniversary of the tragic day my Weimaraner puppy, Buzz, was tragically killed by a car at 7 months old. But like everyone, we all have a purpose, and Buzz, through his continual messages and signs from the afterlife, taught me how pets communicate from the other side. Buzz changed the world. Today's blog explains how he did just that. 

Buzz's signs from moving objects, to the sounds of his feet walking around the house after his passing, to jingling a collar, visibly appearing, leading me and others to look-alikes, and even using music as signs helped open my abilities to communicate with pets on the other side. Buzz also inspired me to write my first book "Ghosts and Spirits" which has an entire chapter devoted to those many first signs. 

Since he passed in 2005, and since the first book came out in 2010, and I was inspired to write "Pets and the Afterlife (1)" that published in 2014, I've heard from thousands of pet parents around the world. I've provided thousands of messages from pets in the afterlife. Thanks to Buzz, I've been able to offer understanding how pets communicate from the other side, and help people through their loss and grief.

Since then, I've published 2 more books in the series, "Pets and the Afterlife 2" and "Pets and the Afterlife 3: Messages from Spirit Dogs."  They've all attained "Best seller status on Amazon, so I know they're reaching people and hopefully bringing comfort. 

I'm writing this today, because today marks 16 years since Buzz left me physically, but he continues to be around in spirit. You'll see Buzz's photo on the front cover of Pets and the Afterlife (1). Like your pets in spirit, he's always around, and it doesn't matter how long he's been physically gone. He's still here.

Paranormal Q and A: Are you in contact with your dad in spirit?

People ask me things all the time, and I love answering questions based on my experience. Here's this week's question:  Are you in contact with your dad's spirit? 

ANSWER: Yes. I have heard from my mom and dad pretty regularly, like maybe once every couple of months. But they taught me that communications from each of them is really personality driven (the way they were in life). I'll explain in today's blog. 

(Photo: My dad's spirit comes through to me looking 40 years younger) 

  Also, it's important to know that if spirits don't provide a blunt sign, you may feel them around. If you feel one of your loved ones near you, then they are. You have to trust your feelings.  

When my dad passed in 2008 I used to hear from him all the time. You can read about the many incredible signs from my dad in my book "Ghosts and Spirits." In fact, my dad helped me prove to my family that he is very much around and was at his own wake and funeral.

My dad also always comes through to me (telepathically usually) as he appeared in his 30s. He passed at 79 years old. The reason he appears younger is that all spirits choose to appear whenever they felt most comfortable in life. 

On a related note,  we maintain our same personalities on the other side. That's important because it has a lot to do with spirit communication, especially if you have both parents or grandparents on the other side. For example, if you one of your parents did "most of the talking" and the other stayed quiet, the "talker" would come through more in messages from the other side. 

 My mom used to do all the talking and my dad would be quiet. That translated after my mom passed. Since my mom passed in 2013 he steps back and let's my mother do all the talking, just as he did in the physical world. It's pretty funny and pretty amazing.

My Saturday Interview with Williams Becker of Metaphysical Insights: Spirits, Ghosts, Pets and People

Email Q&A About How I Planned my Trip in "Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation"

One of my favorite books that I've written is "Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation." It contains all of my unexpected paranormal experiences when I twice visited the country. Recently, JC asked me a good question about planning the trip, and whether I decided to stay open to ghosts on the trip.  Here's his email and my response>>

QUESTION:   JC said, In addition to your pets books and the reading on Winnie, I recently completed your Ghosts of England and enjoyed it tremendously. My question is did you decide before you went that you would stay open to paranormal experiences or do you not have control over the situations? 

    I would think that would be exhausting. Either way the book was an enjoyable read. I just know from visiting several of the same places if I were being contacted by spirits and or ghosts all the time, it would eventually tire me and discourage my traveling.

MY ANSWER:   Tom actually worked with  Anne Marie of Across the Pond Vacations to plan out our 2 trips to England. Being an amateur historian on the Tudor period, he provided Anne Marie with a number of places to visit, and she coordinated things around them. 

Good question about deciding before. My answer is "no." I didn't even think of the paranormal when the trip was being planned. In fact, I had never been to England before and was focusing on the excitement of finally being in a European country (previously I had only been to Mexico and Canada).

Usually wherever I've gone in the U.S., I've been able to mostly blunt the communications from ghosts, but England was overloaded with them, all of whom  wanted to tell their stories or reach out.  Since they were from different times in history, they actually added to the history of the trip, so it wasn't a bad thing.  It was kind of like being on a tour group where a lot of people want to talk to you, but these people were actually conveying history. :)  So I looked at it as a double-benefit.

You Spirit Cat DID walk across your bed! Read Pets and the Afterlife by Rob Gutro

Are you grieving after the loss of your dog or cat?  These books can help you work through your grief by showing you how their spirits are still very much around. Cats in spirit seem to love to jump on our beds at night and slowly walk around the end of the bed. That's just one way that spirit pets communicate.  You can learn more. 

The love we share with our pets never dies, and there's proof that our pets do communicate with us from the other side, just as people do who pass. I'm a scientist, medium, author and paranormal investigator who has had many experiences with ghosts and spirits, both pets and people, who have communicated messages that helped prove their identity. I've written Pets and the Afterlife and Pets and the Afterlife 2 to teach people how to recognize the signs from their pets in spirit. 

Pet parents like me think about and mourn the loss of their pets often. Sometimes the grief feels inconsolable. One way to work through that grief is to understand that our pets are around us in spirit from time to time and visit us. You just need to be able to recognize those signs. In my 3 books I explain many of the ways that pets communicate with the living, to convey their presence. 
   
I've received emails from people around the world who have confirmed signs from their pets and have received comfort knowing their pets are very much around in spirit from time to time. 

All 3 are available on Amazon.com in paperback and Kindle.   (And ALL Made "AMAZON BEST SELLERS" Status!) : https://tinyurl.com/y8l6alq4 

Paranormal Q and A: Why don’t ghosts want to cross over? And have you spoken to the ones that did?

 Each week, I'll answer a question about the paranormal, whether a general question, or one about human or animal ghosts (Earthbound) or spirits (crossed over). Here's this week's question: 

QUESTION: Why don’t ghosts want to cross over? And have you spoken to the ones that did?

ANSWER:  People say behind for a lot of reasons. Mostly I have found that people who are very religious stay behind because they remember some bad things they may have done in their life and they are scared that they won't go to heaven. Which is really unfounded. Because everybody cross is over

Others think they can help their relatives cope with their own deaths, but they can't. They can more easily help them if they cross over and become a spirit.

Some wake up on the other side after being murdered or in an accident and are confused and linger too long and get stuck

Listen - Podcast: Spaced Out Radio Interview from Feb 13 - A 2 1/2 Hour Amazing Discussion on Pet Spirits w/Rob

Dave Scott, host of Spaced Out Radio in Canada's British Columbia has become a friend in the paranormal field with whom I've developed a great bond through dogs. We're both dog dads, and we both love talking about pets and the afterlife. During the late night and early morning hours on Feb 12/13 I (Rob Gutro) returned to talk about my new book "Pets and the Afterlife 3" (Available on Amazon . com)  We covered so much ground and answered lots of questions from the listeners. It was an amazing conversation, and I hope you'll find time to listen to it here:

Q&A: Do Pets Know When It is Their Time?

In December,  I was a guest on Mike Ricksecker and Victoria Mundae's "Edge of the Rabbit Hole" program,  I talked about how pets communicate from the afterlife. One of the questions in the chat room asked if pets know when it is their time. 

My Answer: Yes, pets know their time. I mentioned that one dog ventured outside to pass under a rose bush where she passed away. That dog knew when he was going to pass and chose the place where he wanted to pass.  When the mom thought of her dog, she's smelled the sweet scent of roses, so she knows he is still very much around in spirit. His story appears in Pets and the Afterlife 2.

In my Pets and the Afterlife 1, 2 and 3 books, I mention the different ways that living pets let us know it's their time. Most obvious is the lack of interest in food. They're often lethargic, don't have interest in play, and sometimes isolate themselves (our dog Franklin would not stay in the same room with us the 2 weeks before he passed). 

For more information about how pets communicate from the afterlife, check out my books: Pets and the Afterlife, Pets and the Afterlife 2, and Pets and the Afterlife 3: Messages from Spirit Dogs. All are available on Amazon.com in paperback and e-book.
