I would like to tell everyone what happened to me on Friday. I know everyone here will understand. When I tell this to "petless" people they just give me this strange look. This is what happened. I was sitting on my deck and missing my baby Max. I looked up to the sky and started talking to him like I usually do. I asked him to give me some kind of sign that I would know he was happy where he was. I looked around and nothing happened. Nothing stirred. The wind didn't even blow. Then my husband came home and we had to go out. When I got home that night, I was sitting in my recliner and looked down at my leg, and there was a tiny little clump of Max's hair stuck to the leg of my pants. This is unusual because being a Lhasa Apso, he did not shed. I couldn't believe it! I started crying and kissing that little clump of hair, but I was happy! Max had sent me my message. Then, to acutally reinforce it, Max did something else. I was scanning through my cable tv channels, and on the description for QVC, they had it listed as "Maxx." This was the designer handbags they were showing at the moment. Then.......as I scrolled further down to A&E, it had a show listed as "I, Max." Well, this is all I need! My baby communicated with me! He is happy! It's just like the story I read of the little orange boy. Max is playing and running and is actually HAPPY! This doesn't make me miss him any less, I still cried for him today. But it is so so comforting that he is in a good place. He loved his mommy and daddy and he wanted us to know he is all right. I love him more than words can say, and I think in his own way he tried to comfort me in my anguish from where he is. He is just so special.

i just love when that happens

Dear Maxiesmommy!
I know what you mean about people not "getting this"--or looking at you as if you might be "losing it"--! I got several messages from Ginger too--and I am most definately a scientist type person but the messages I got were really clear!! I am so glad you are open to "listening"--! when I asked for my sign I was honestly "afraid" of getting no answer and worse---what the answer might be (because of the cir%%stances of how I lost Ginger) but the answer was extremely clear--that he is happy--not upset with me and happy!!
If we people get to have an afterlife then certainly our animal friends get the same type of accomodation--because st. francis made animals our "brothers and sisters".
What creature would deserve a perfect and peaceful afterlife more than our animals who enrich human life so much?? None that I know of!

All too often we are given these messages and dismiss them as our imagination or wishful thinking.

I truly believe that their love for us is too strong for them not to come back to make sure we are coping ok and they try soo hard to let us know that they are ok.

Our society has a lot to answer to, men are not allowed to cry, woman have to be anorexic and we have the ghoul to think that we are all there is ----------- purlease --!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aw thats so good you had that contact with him and no he is ok and happy!
when i talk to victor my hairs prickle up and i get shivers down my back.
and one i was sittin in my room and his little ball moved across the desk and stopped like when he used to play with it.

Carol,

I believe! Right after I put Stymy to sleep I kept hearing in my head the same song over and over again (Richard Max's Hold on to the Night). You know when you hear a song and you can't get it out of your head. I could not get Stymy in to the vets until 11:30am that day so we sat together all morning. I didn't have any music on and on the car ride over the radio is broke so on music there. Even at the vets there wasn't muisc on. But as soon as I got in the car on, my way home from the vets, and all that afternoon that is all I keep hearing in my head. The verse that I heard was "hold on the the memories". By the way I don't even like Richard Max.

Thank you ... because I didn't tell anyone for the very same reason. They would think I was loosing it.

Thanks, Stymy's Mom (Vicki)

I believe too, Maxie's Mommy. I am very happy you got to signs you've been waiting for!
