Just wanted to let Stella know that the after life for our friends does exist and I continue to be reminded of that every day. If you ask to see a sign you will. I know I'm not going crazy but I continue to find evidence that my Cindy is still around. Last week I came home from work and I found some white curtains from the back room on the floor. when I reached down to pick up the curtains, a piece of chewed up plastic fell on the floor! I picked it up and I realized it was a piece of plastic that bordered a table I used to have. Cindy had ripped it off and chewed it a long time ago. It's really strange that I found a piece of that border now, I no longer own that table!

Stella by: lizzie
Our family just lost our beloved staffordshire bull terrier Stella last sunday 11/7/2010, she was 10 years old, I had her for 8 years & she'd lived with my grandad for the past 2 years. We're absolutely devastated & the only thing that offers a glimmer of hope is believing in afterlife & that we will one day be reunited again.
Another thing which hurts so much is that we don't even know what was wrong, she went off her food on the thursday then died sunday morning. I just hope she knows how much she meant to us & hope she sends some signs that she's still around, I just can't bear the idea of never seeing her again.

She watches over you by: Carol
I am so sorry for your sudden loss of Cindy. I have absolutely no doubt that you will see Cindy again. I lost my 17 year old dog Sherwin last May (see Soaring Free story ) and I received several signs that showed me that he was still with me, and continue to do so occasionally. The signs seem to come at significant times e.g. the anniversary of his passing, or when I'm really feeling sad and missing him. There are many books that talk about pet loss experiences that also help to confirm that you will one day be reunited with your beloved friend. Think of her often and she will be there.

Souls... by: Luis
It's hard to imagine the abuse that animals have to support at the hands of uncaring humans. People look at animals as property and nothing else. A person is truly blind until he or she falls in love with an animal. Then and only then, will they realize that animals are not objects or just property. Animals are living and breathing creatures with all the feelings and emotions we humans have. They are no different than us and they are surely not inferior. They only have a different way of thinking and viewing the world around us. Cindy and KC both taught us how special they are. I don't care what religions say about animals having souls or not. I know what I experienced and what I experienced was not only supernatural but incredibly exciting. Cindy and KC continue to exist, they are not dead! We will see them again I have no doubt about that.

KC's Aunt Alice by: Anonymous
KC entered my heart as a 25 lbs. of new resident in the "hood." Whether he was 25 lbs. or 50, I'm not sure, I just know that he was the biggest domestic feline I'd ever seen.. He could stare me down without even flinching.
As Mom Meg traveled periodically, neighbor "Aunt Alice" began to care for him when the family was away. Typically indifferent in the beginning, KC barely noticed if I filled his food and water bowl, and certainly not if I cleaned his toilet. Over time we bonded, and good thing, too because he developed diabetes. Having experienced it with one of my own cats, I then added giving shots and medicating to KC's "spa treatments" while his family was away. His trust in me grew and we relaxed, played and had massages during his "spa vacations" when Mom was away.
Next KC was diagnosed with cancer that practically broke his Mom's heart. But, together they went through his treatment and Meg's research for his best care led to a regimen they both followed religiously. But KC was far from that big ball of fluff I met when he first moved across the street. He became Mr. Skinny and often looked frail.
KC responded to treatment and had good, quality time for a long while. Meg would fix individual meal doses for me to give him each day whenever they were away. KC did really well until his little body and soul could go not a step further. What a lucky cat to have had the love of his Mom & Dad with him when his soul departed. He will be forever missed.

Beau by: Carol
I had to say goodbye to my beautiful, 14 year old black & white cat yesterday, May 26, 2010. I can't begin to describe the grief and heartache I feel. Right now, it feels like it will never go away, although they say time heals. I am hoping, beyond hope, that I will get signs from him that he is still around. Last night I heard sounds in my bedroom, although my other cat was downstairs sleeping soundly. Beau always had to be near me. I'd wake up in the morning and know he was on the bed because he would be laying against my leg. I would sit up and pat his head and he would move his head back to acknowledge. He would sit on the arm of the sofa beside me when I was watching TV. All you had to do was look at him and he started purring. I still can't believe he's gone and don't know if I will ever get over him. I am having him cremated and his ashes returned to me in an urn as well as having a paw print made. I think once I have him back, that will help somewhat.

Pure love for KC Too by: Meg Loftheim
I totally understand where you are coming from. Although we had KC for 17 years and KC and I fought so hard to keep his cancer under control, I took him in following surgery that he was recuperating from because he was constipated. It was downhill from that time and in less than two days he was gone. Yesterday, my computer was opened with KC's picture on it and I swear I heard him meow.. he had such a distinctive meow. Those special pets are and will be always with us even if we get a new one. I miss my KC painfully but I also know he will always be with me... that is after three weeks of solid crying. Everyone tells me time will heal the loss. I hope they are right because it hasn't happened quite yet and I am just giving it time. KC was so special and yours sounds special too!
