Hey I have to share my experience and see if anyone else ever had anything similiar happen, its a long story that I will shorten and try not to leave out the important details. Had a german shepard named Luke that I loved with all my heart, he truly was a great dog, treated him more like a son than a dog. He was 8 years old and two months no medical problems, wifes family in town visiting from out of state, he was very close to her father and I, he would go from house to house, Sunday he was with us, we forgot, we had been running around so much, he was left in the car and ran out of air and passed. The guilt from my wife and I was and is overwhelming. So I ask him to visit me and let me know he is okay, I fall asleep and wake up and nothing has happenend I am greatly saddened by this but I understand it. Then when I fall back to sleep its been less than 24 hours since he passed I cant explain what happened. I go to a patio of sorts, there is music and dancing I am uncomfortable there, a crystal clear pool sorrounds the patio. The music is strange and the dancing is stranger, I am pushed into a fence, on the fence a family friend who is living sees me, "patrick isn"t this place wonderful she says? I say Susan what are you doing here is this real? of course its real she says, I have had dreams before, vivid dreams they have never felt like this. I say to her I just want to see my dog she says I can take you to him, I thank her over and over again. Next thing I know I am outside it is a starless night, the only lights come from fire that are in like hut lights, there sits one hundred or so I would say native african tribe people, they are in chairs just sitting looking out into the night, I feel uncomfortable so I say hey if you guys need a TV I will buy you one, a lady sheeeews me and another draws a square and shakes her finger no, I sit down with them, I lean back in my chair a habit of mine another lady points for me to put the chair down I say yes mam in a humble tone. All the men a women are in red robes and bald, nex thing I know I am in my house with my dog luke, I see sillouhettes of him, I feel him, I am warm all over an outpouring of love and sadness as I cry telling him how sorry I am and how much I love him, the colors are a mixture of yellow, orange, and whitish yellow he goes in and out of floating like form and his real form I pet him for what seems like a long time all around his favorite spots in the house, I ask him can I get my wife and is this real same question asked the family friend, he says of course its real same answer, he says of course to getting my wife, I noptice his voice is older and gruffier than I thought it would be he is so calm and peaceful I am in awe... I go get her she leaves bed and says I cant see him but she is smiling, I point down adn say he is righ there, he is in and out again of "true form" she leaves he tells me to go get Barry who he was very close with he says we dont have much time, I go and get Barry he doesnt want to come but I tell him he has too and he does, we appear in my computer room him and I are petting him, Barrys deceased shepard BO appears he is petting him, my dog changes body I am confused he looks like the neighbors dog who passed a year ago who I was not close with. then all these litlle fericious dogs come in and start growling and yipping at our two passed dogs I tell Barry go get a gun he leaves and walks back and says there are too many of them he pick one up my dog is gone and I am am rubbing a lifeless dog who looks like the neighbors old dog, and I wake up!

When I wake up I am confused, happy, and scared, I am so thankful to the family friend who led me to Luke, I write it down quickly wanting to get all the details down, call the family friend her dog died Thursday hit by a bus I had no idea, she also had a spiritual meeting with her passed father where she felt his hands holding hers in 2000 again I had no idea I didnt even know why she was there, I also only later read up that spirits and the after life care noting about material things thus why my TV comment was so off color, I dont know what happened and I know I sound crazy, but I am a very sane person, I can only think that Luke let me in on something extremely special. Last night I saw him in a dream briefly at a house I took him off a chain and we left together but it was nothing like that dream or after death experience I had Sunday night, my father in law says is guilt and all in my head, Well I have never felt like that before and doubt I will again until death.... Please tell me someone else has heard of or had something similiar happened????
