Pets 'visiting' after passing on?

Am in tears reading this. My little man (well not so little) went to the bridge 5 weeks ago today and I cling onto the fact that one day I will get a sign from him or speak to him again somehow, I've looked at contacting animal communicators but am out of work and cannot afford it at the moment. Am awaiting a special momento of him - I'm having a bracelet and necklace made that will contain his fur and ash - and am hoping that perhaps when I have that and wear it every day he may show me a sign.A home is not a home ..... without a dog

The only one of my fur babies that hasn't come back to visit was my first dog Ailsa who was killed 6 years ago by another dog when she was 8, Ailsa was my heart dog and my bestest child and I really wanted to know if she was okay. After she died my family went behind my back and bought me Arran who's now 6, Arran was born 10 days before Ailsa died. Ailsa was killed by one bite to the top of her head and the other dogs tooth penetrated her brain, Arran's fur on the top of his head in exactly the spot where Ailsa was bitten sits a funny way and it's quite obvious when you look down at him. Whilst Ailsa might not have come to visit me I firmly believe that she had a hand in sending Arran to me :A
Kinski,that must have been a horrendous time for you,poor Ailsa,what a horrible thing to happen.
At least you have some comfort in Arran.0 -

So sorry Dawnie.Seems so many posters are losing their beloved pets lately.Fact of life sadly when they only live a fraction of our lifespan.
I am sure you will see or feel his presence again.These precious creatures have a way of letting us know of their desire to comfort us.0 -
Katy my cat died last August, she was very elderly 22 yrs, but just after she died I had a few things happen which I'm sure was her way of contacting me
. She died on a Saturday and on the Monday evening when I got in from work around 7.45pm there was a lovely rainbow over the back garden where her grave is, I'm sure that was a sign as it was not even raining.
Another funny thing is a photo of her I put in a frame on the wall, it had no glass in the frame and twice the photo fell out whilst I was watching tv and fell on my shoulder and landed on the sofa where she would be sitting.
Also had another photo in a cardboard frame land on a cat ornament I have, came home and it was on top of the cat
.
My son thinks I'm mad when I tell him but Im sure she is nearby.
Also heard the clicking on the floor sometimes when Im upstairs.0 -

I'm so sorry for your loss dawnie {{hugs}}, I still miss Ailsa and Abby my other sheltie who passed a couple of years ago but now I can remember them with a smile on my face at some of the daft things they did. If you fancy it you could always see if there's a spiritualist church near you, I used to go to meetings at one quite a bit and the times I had there were always a laugh and I did have visits from family members who had passed.
froglet, Arran is a good wee dog but he's as thick as they come, he's often referred to as Worzel Gummidge as he has so many different heads, unfortunately the one he wears the most is his stupid one :rotfl::rotfl:.0 -
I haven't seen my maxie that passed nearly three years ago, but i'm positive he's come back as a Cavalier King Charles that friends have and I look after occasionally. When they initially got him he would have nothing to do with them but would be fine around me, he wouldn't pee, poop, go for walks, or eat initially for them and they asked me to have him as he was clearly happy with me. I couldn't due to work shifts. We have the same kind of communication I had with maxie, we just understand eachother and know what the other is thinking. He's happy with his family now, but i'm convinced it could be maxie.....well maxie but in a better mood most of the time...lol.
It's weird but the cat I have now will come back to me in one form or another.Yep...still at it, working out how to retire early.:D....... Going to have to rethink that scenario as have been screwed over by the company. A work in progress.0 -
Definitely believe in this, my girl Sasha was PTS last November she was 12 yrs old blind and had really bad arthritis it was the worst thing I have ever had to do and still get upset now about losing her but that first night when I went to bed and closed my eyes I saw her little face as clear as anything and her eyes were not cloudy and blue they were back to brown. I swear that she was showing me she was ok

A couple of days after that I was on the landing turned to come down the stairs and she ran past me. Another time I was on a course at work and I swear she was with me as I felt her moving around my legs it was at that time of day when you start drifting off through boredom :rotfl:
We have never had Robins in our garden but once we lost Sasha a little Robin kept popping in the garden over the winter so yes I believe

A many know I lost our beautiful Teej last June.
A few days after some very odd things happened. His photo fell off the wall and the glass broke clean in half, its been on that spot for years and never moved before. I went out and on my return there was a large chewie on the rug, it wasnt there when I went out. My BIL rang me and said the photo of TJ had just fallen off their wall and landed upright on the table.
I have my beautiful boys ashes on my PC cupboard shelf, I know its not everyones cup of tea but it gives me peace.
I know when he is about as I hear his patter on the kitchen floor.
MY friend came for a visit a couple of weeks ago and asked which dog had gone upstairs? I looked at her oddly and asked what was she on about. She told me a doggy had brushed past her and she watched it go upstars. Olliver was laid on the sofa and we didnt have Dexter. I told her it was Teej and she said She thought it was.
Another odd one. Last week Dexter who is allowed upstairs was stood at the bathroom door barking and carrying on something silly. He sleeps in there sometimes and in the same place as Teej, anyway he just wouldnt go in there and he didnt settle all night. Hubby said it was because Teej was in there
My heart goes out to all who have lost a furfriend, I still shead a tear for my big lad, and I think of him everyday. x
We now have Ollier, he is not a replacement for Teej, and I wouldnt want him to be. He is the complete opposite of TJ, lol he is a little terror but looks like butter wouldnt melt.RIP TJ. You my be gone, but never forgotten. Always in our hearts xxxHe is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog.You are his life, his love, his leader.He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart.You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.0 -

I have maxies ashes too, he's on a shelf in the lounge cabinate as I can't work out what to do with him....not that I really think it's him, I think that is a way of humans 'doing' something about a death. to be honest I would rather put his ashes in the earth and plant a tree or bush....but for some reason there is something stopping me as I don't know where i'll end up living/dying if that makes sense. and if I planted him outside I would feel I have to move the tree with me if I moved...silly really I guess, seeing as he is now a CKC and in a better mood for it (previously seriously bad tempered norwich terrier)...lolYep...still at it, working out how to retire early.:D.......

not much wrong with keeping ashes! humans do that with other humans!
the time will come when it will 'feel' right to either bury the ashes or scatter them. you will know when. 'til then why not keep them close?0
