Back in the Top 30 on Amazon! Pets and the Afterlife by Rob Gutro

My "Pets and the Afterlife" book continues to bring comfort, peace, understanding and healing of grief for anyone who has lost a pet. On Aug. 19, Amazon reported the book is back in the Top 30 books on Pet Loss/Grief in paperback, and in the Top 100 for Animal Care and Pet Essays.
  I'm sure this boost is also likely in part to the interview recently on the United Kingdom's ChatandSpinRadio .com  and Afraid of Nothing Podcast appearance.  .  Below is a summary of the book, the current rankings on Aug. 19, 2020, and a review. Know that your pets are very much around you in spirit - My books teach you the signs to look for !- Rob

In the news- Woman sees her dog's face in the clouds hours after pet's death

Pets have a lot of ways to communicate from spirit, and although using clouds isn't common, it's effective and a matter of timing. That is, because clouds are dynamic, and change shape within a minute or minutes, catching sight of a cloud at the exact moment that it may resemble your pet is because your pet in spirit influenced you to look up, in that direction, at that exact time. If you read my books, Pets and the Afterlife and Pets and the Afterlife 2, you'll learn there's no such thing as a coincidence. Here's the story from MSNBC

 Woman sees her dog's face in the clouds hours after pet's death 
 Hours after her dog, Sunny, passed away, Lucy Ledgeway found comfort in the skies.

June 30, 2020, 12:51 PM EDTBy Ashley Capoot 

Lucy Ledgeway said goodbye to her 14-year-old dog, Sunny, who passed away in her father’s arms at their home after suffering a seizure on June 20. However, her furry friend wasn’t gone for long; Ledgeway spotted the canine's face in the clouds just hours after she died.

Sunny was a Parson Russell terrier that Ledgeway, 19, and her family rescued when she was just 6 years old. Ledgeway, who lives in the city of York in northern England, told TODAY that Sunny was funny and loving, but she also had a lot of health issues. She was diagnosed with diabetes last year, and the vets told her family that she only had between 12 to 15 months left to live.

Sunny had been taking insulin for 13 months before her health started to deteriorate, and Ledgeway said her family had a serious scare a couple of days before she passed. Sunny had been throwing up and having trouble going to the bathroom, and her family and veterinarians thought she was going to have to be euthanized. To their surprise, Sunny managed to perk up for one last good day with her family. “She was in bed up until around 2 p.m., and then my brother got a bag of crisps out and started eating and she started sniffing up,” Ledgeway told TODAY. “It gave us a bit of hope, like, ‘Oh, so she’ll be all right.’” In fact, Sunny’s demeanor had improved so much that her veterinarians decided there was no need for her to be put down.

Ledgeway said Sunny seemed to be feeling better that day, but she died the following morning. Ledgeway said she was feeling emotional and told her boyfriend that she wanted to see a sign in the sky that proved Sunny was all right. Two hours later, she went outside and said she saw Sunny’s face in the clouds.

My 5 Min. Interview on the UK's Chat and Spin Radio! (at 1 hr 3 mins in)

This past weekend I was showcased in a 5 minute interview on great 80s music station from the United Kingdom, called "Chat and Spin Radio." 
  Chatandspinradio.com is based out of Washington, Tyne and Wear, England. They play a great mix of music and offer short interviews with authors. You can hear my interview at 1 hour and 3 minutes (1:03) into the show. It's right after Bette Midler's "From a Distance" plays. (and right before Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire" plays).

Paranormal Q&A: What are some things people can do at home to amplify their connection to the spirit realm?

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: 

Q: What are some things people can do at home to amplify their connection to the spirit realm?

A: People need to trust their feelings of their surroundings. Positive emotional people can tune in much better than negative people. Positive emotions, love, faith and hope - remove blocks from getting in touch with loved ones in spirit (who have crossed over).   Also, meditation or just sitting in a quiet place, even in the shower (where I get a lot of messages) when I'm at peace.  Play soft instrumental music, think of peaceful settings. Relax your body and mind. Those things help amplify the connection.

A New Review of Pets and the Afterlife by Rob Gutro

 If you have read any of my books, I would greatly appreciate even a short review on Amazon.com, because (with the millions of books out there), it makes the book more visible to readers. Here is a recent review of my book "Pets and the Afterlife" by Rob Gutro:

Sue reviewed Pets and the Afterlife  A Soothing Balm After the Loss of a Pet June 25, 2020 I was devastated after I lost my precious dog to a coyote attack. The grief was heavy and the next day, I searched for a resource to get me through the first rough week. After finding a podcast interview with Rob Gutro about losing your pet, I sought out his book and ordered the digital version so I wouldn't have to wait for it to arrive. I read it e-cover to e-cover. By the time I was done, I not only found a sense of peace from our loss but a deep feeling of connection to our beloved dog. Thank you, Rob, for this wonderful book! If you are missing your lost pet, I recommend that you buy this book. I will be getting his other books too.

Pets and the Afterlife Helped Identify a Sign from a Dog in Spirit

Recently I received a wonderful note from Grazia of Italy, whom had read one of my Pets "Your books made me understand a sign that our dog sent me, when she had died. It is true that, without the guidance you give, such signs would remain odd little events with no explanation. "  - Grazia Piombo 
and the Afterlife books and was able to understand a sign from her dog. Pets, like people, will make us hear their name to convey to us that they are still very much around us.
Grazia wrote:

Grazia was kind enough to convey the whole story and gave me permission to share it. Here is the story in her own words:  

We got our pup from a family who were giving away the latest litter of their own dog couple. Since she looked quite similar to another dog who had formerly belonged to an aunt of mine, we called her like this aunt’s pet. For reasons that go too far to explain, this aunt had settled for ‘Pepsi’ as a name. Our pet was a crossing of a Setter and a Cocker, black with a white patch on her belly, and a white strand on the outermost tip of her tail. She was one of those creatures that break hearts without trying, with her own little fan base among the children in our neighborhood (although, more dogs than not may have the famous ‘aww’ effect).

Pepsi was sweet and a bit shy, smart and so charming, she managed to turn my mother from a cat person, to a dog person. (My mother later resorted to birds since, due to an accident she had, and her age, she could not walk well enough anymore to take care of a dog properly.)

Our pet passed away in June 2006, when she was almost sixteen years of age. Luckily, I was not at home when it happened; it was bad enough to learn the news on the phone. Naturally, we all fell into deep mourning for a long while.

Several months later, and it might have been the anniversary of her passing (but, since I had no idea of the significance of such dates then, I cannot say this for sure), I went to our local Aldi to buy some groceries. Imagine the surprise when, out of the blue, a lady in a row nearby turned around and called her young teenage daughter: “Pepsi!” – I had to look again. Never before or after have I heard anybody, or any pet except the two in our family, being called by that name (in this case, probably a nickname)! Thanks to your books, I now understand that our own Pepsi was giving a signal.

When I went home, I told my mother about this unexpected, funny and a bit poignant moment, and we renewed the memories of our darling. 

Thank you for giving her a little space in your Hall of Fame.

Read About How a Spirit Rescued Me When Lost- in "Kindred Spirits" by Rob Gutro

It's uncommon for a medium really get know a spirit so well that the living person considers the spirit a best friend. But that's exactly what happened to medium and paranormal investigator Rob Gutro. When he was lost in the English Countryside and his GPM went haywire, the spirit of Ed sent a man to rescue Rob. The rescuer looked EXACTLY as Ed would have looked, had he lived. That's just one of the stories in Gutro's latest best-selling Amazon.com book "Kindred Spirits: When a Medium Befriends a Spirit."   

TO BUY ON AMAZON: https://tinyurl.com/y9an9jo2

When Rob, an author, medium and paranormal investigator, met his partner Tom in 2005, Ed's spirit came along for the ride. Tom knew Ed but Rob never met him since Ed died in 1996. Over the last 14 years, Ed has communicated with Rob so much, that he now considers Ed a good friend.

Now, Ed often communicates to Rob and has revealed his sense of humor, his heart, and helped solved the mystery of his passing. Ed's "Spirit Treasure Hunt" showed his family he's with them, too. Ed even sent a look-alike to rescue Rob during a vacation in England. As you read about this special spirit named Ed and his sometimes funny communications, you'll learn signs your loved ones send. This book will teach you how to be more aware of messages from your loved ones in spirit.

"Being a friend with Ed in spirit is like having a friend who lives in another state," Gutro said in describing his relationship with Ed's spirit.

Although Rob has become known as a "Pet Medium" through the success of his books "Pets and the Afterlife" and "Pets and the Afterlife 2," he also connects with human Earthbound ghosts and spirits.

He is the first in the paranormal field to make the distinction between earthbound ghosts and spirits who have crossed over. Rob has three books about his experience with human ghosts and spirits, called "Ghosts and Spirits," "Lessons Learned from Talking to the Dead," and "Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation," the latter of which was published last year.  

Rob Gutro is a member of the Inspired Ghost Tracking Group of Maryland, and has been featured in the Washington Post and nationally syndicated radio programs like "Coast to Coast AM." Rob is a volunteer with Dachshund and Weimaraner rescues and gives fundraising lectures for animal rescues around the U.S., teaching grieving pet parents how pets communicate from the afterlife.

2 New Reviews: Case Files of Inspired Ghost Tracking by Rob Gutro

Paranormal Q&A: What advice do you have for parents of kids that can talk to spirits?

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: 

Q: What advice do you have for parents of kids that can talk to spirits?

A:  Children can see Earthbound ghosts or spirits who have crossed over (like their grandparents for example) because their logical minds have not yet developed.  

Acknowledge their "friend" and ask them details. Ask for a name, and what the ghost or spirit looks like.  If you recognize the description of the person or pet in spirit (or ghost)  and they were good in the physical, don't discourage your child from talking with them, but always tell your child to share what they learn or talk about. 

If it's an Earthbound ghost, it may be someone who lived in the house previously, or someone who stayed behind because they regret something they did in life and were afraid to cross over.  They could be a good person, or a bad person- just as they were in the physical. - So if you ask your child about the ghost person, have them describe their personality and appearance. Ask if the child is afraid of them or likes them. If the ghost makes the child uncomfortable, then call a paranormal group to try and cross the ghost over. 

If it's the spirit of a loved one, they're just coming back to spend time with the child and looking over them.
