I certainly hope that this post will not make you all think I've lost my mind... first let me tell you that a week ago today, during the early morning hours my precious Puck passed away. He had been sleeping at my feet as usual but sometime during the night, he decided to move to the ottoman in the living room. That is where I discovered him at 5am as I walked thru the living room headed, reached for him but to my horror he had already gone. Puck left behind his canine brothers and sisters along with his feline sister, Inky. What is making me question his presence is at 3:30am this morning, possibly the same timeframe that I lost my Puck, Inky began meowing in a horrible tone from the living room. When I panicked and ran to the living room, she was nowhere to be found, after I turned on all the lights I found her behind the sofa. Inky always comes when called, she's a super love bug, but not this time. Could she have been scared by Puck? Did she remember what happened at that moment a week ago? Please tell me I'm not the only one who has experienced this... help me believe I'm not losing my mind. Since the moment I lost him, I haven't made it a full 24hrs without crying and grieving for my sweet little man. I miss him soooo much and if it was him, I hope he knows that his mommy loves him and misses him with all of her heart and soul.

You are DEFINITELY NOT losing your mind! You've had a visit from Puck. Really, truly. Many people here on LS have had some kind of visit experience - many others have not. I have had two. Three night after my Gretta (the kindest chocolate lab who ever lived) I was so sad that I decided to sleep on her dog bed. I'ts a big one and I almost fit - except for feet sticking out the end (good thing no photos were taken :)). That night I dreamed that a dog - not a lab but a setter - was running directly in front of some curio cabinets in my dining room. When I "startled" and woke up - she was gone. A couple of night later - still sleeping on the dog bed - just before I woke up I could feel Gretta lying neext to me on my left side. Again, the instant I woke up, she was gone.

I believe these visits are real and that they are messages from our loved pet telling us that he or she is OK and has made it to the Perfect World. I've always wished for another dream or another visit but those two were it. (Maybe Gretta was thinking, "How many times do I have to appear before she gets it?"

You are blessed and your Puck has told you and your fur family that he's OK and he's in the Perfect World - waiting until everybody is together again - and having boatloads of fun in the meantime. BTW - I also think that animals in the Perfect World guide us, watch over us, love us and are loved by us exactly as they were when we could see them.

Puck's mom - if you're crazy, that makes two of us - and I'm going with it! :)

Thanks so much Gretta's Mom... I've confided in a few people close to me and only one looked at me as if I had 2 heads. Oh well, guess I won't be telling her about last night. I'm was lying in bed, home alone as my husband is traveling so my emotions are even worse as the loneliness sets in from him being away and my Puck's passing. Well Puck's sleeping habit would be to join me in the bed after the lights were off and I was settled in, he would climb not jump into bed, drove me nuts because of my downs comforter but I sure do miss that now. Anyway, upon climbing into bed he would first do circles inbetween my feet as I lie on my back, kneading bread as I called it with his little claws. And finally find the perfect spot in between mine and my husband's feet. So last night when I finally talked myself into going to bed, knowing today at work would be horrible without sleep, I tucked my other four-legged babies in and climb into bed. Shortly after the lights were off I feel it, I feel movement between my feet, like soft little footsteps walking around or maybe kneading bread just as Puck would do every night. Of course I think I'm imagining it because I wasn't dreaming, I was very much awake and I know it wasn't Inky because she's too old to jump into the bed anymore. I instantly broke into tears, telling him how much I love him and how much mommy misses him. I refused to move, afraid that if I moved he would leave... it lasted for maybe a minute or two, all the while I talked to him reassuring him how much I love him. Then just as quietly as he joined me, he left again.

It's been 8 days since I lost him, the days have gotten a little more bearable, I can actually get work done but the nights and early mornings are still horrible. I guess because that's when we spent our most valued time together, in the mornings he was such a love-bug, in and out of my legs as I got ready for work and at night when he would spend forever finding that perfect spot always touching me as he curled up to have sweet dreams. I still miss him so much... I hope he comes back as much as possible, but at the same time I don't want him to miss out on the fun he's having in the Perfect World. Hopefully he knows he carried away with him a piece of my heart, a piece I hope he keeps close to him forever.

Hi, Puck's Mom, thank you so much for sharing with us how you're doing. Please let me add my reassurances to Gretta's Mom that what you are experiecing is absolutely normal - - and real. It is not uncommon for our beloved companions to offer us comforting reassurance that they are still with us. And please know beyond all shadow of a doubt that the part of your heart your beloved Puck took with him when he joined the angels is FOREVER a part of him - - just as he is FOREVER a part of you.

I hope today is being kind to you, Jack n Puck's Mom. Thank you so much for sharing with us the visits your beloved Puck makes. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, and look forward to knowing how you're doing whenever possible.

Peace and blessings,

Hi Puck and Jack's mom

Hey! Another visit from Puck! What a lucky mom! One author says that animals who have passed are only a breath away. And there is a wonderful quote (I'll try to find the actual one) about and old dog who has passed but as you take a walk on a crisp fall day his nose is in your - just like before. One thing about the Perfect World is ..... it's PERFECT! It's greatest feature is love - and love is infinite - in both directions. Not like these dumb human zero-sum games we have on earth - if someone gets more, someone else has to get less. Phooey! Our furbabies are in a place where no matter how much love you give away or get from someone .... it's always the same ... INFINITE!

I'm so happy your Puck-baby has come to you so clearly to let you know he's OK and he's still on his job - taking care of you, guiding you, and loving you and being loved by you. Exactly as always.

May your night be restful,

Gretta's mom

Dear Jack n Pucks Mom....I am so sorry for your loss of Puck......I just want to say I don't think you're crazy, 'cause if you're crazy, then I'm crazy.......We have been having weird things happening here ever since Mickey passed 6 months ago..........Mickey would take a nap with my husband on the bed every day. My husband has felt his movement several times and we have heard little noises from the corner of the bedroom where his big mattress is.......Also not too long after he passed, I heard his little toenails sound on the hardwood floor as he would go down the hallway.....I feel his spirit in the dining/kitchen area where he would lay, watching me cook or do my work. I still get goose bumps in those areas.

Last night was really weird, I had a certain ring on my right hand that I had bought on the Pet Rescue site. I definately had it on when I went to bed. When I woke up this morning, the ring was not on my finger. It was tight, so no way would it have accidently slipped off my finger the normal way. I looked and looked for it and finally found it in a well hidden place......Did Mickey visit or did I do something in my sleep, (which I never do).....My husband thinks it was Mickey's Spirit......We always tell him to visit us any time in any form........Guess we will never know........
