Almost ten years since Pup died..........so many tears over the beautiful dogs we have loved, now including also Bosco, and Miss Skittles and my Jasmine, all in the spirit world. Thankfully, there is Zacky to hold up the canine end and absorb our endless capacity for loving dogs. I am so dog-deprived now that the other day in the park, I just LOOKED at a big black lab. He felt my energy and LEAPED over to me for a treat, so happy. It made my day.Sherry Blue Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01926508656571639801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107838361391025851.post-80696746941141990892010-09-30T23:19:42.911-04:002010-09-30T23:19:42.911-04:00Oh my God, you're killing me here, am crying m...Oh my God, you're killing me here, am crying my eyes out. This is such a wonderful story. Sunny reminds me a lot of my grizzled old wolf-dog - so smart, so funny, so full of himself..........I know the feeling of two being one......when I was still working, when I first got him, my neighbor told me he would howl like the bad wolf that he is every morning when I pulled out of the driveway.<br /><br />It is so cool that Sunny told you about Bosco. That gives me hope for when Pup's time comes, knowing they are still here in some form. And I know I'll cry as hard as you did - heck, I practically did just reading this story. I love his name - Sundance. A beautiful boy.<br /><br />Speaking of psychic links, my daughter Stephanie has rescued many dogs from abuse and rehabilitated them. One, Abby, was a German Shepherd at the SPCA that had a warning sign on her cage - even staff were afraid to go into her cage, she seemed vicious. She was about to be put down because staff didnt think she would be able to be rehabilitated. For one month Steph went in to see the dogs, and she would always speak to Abby. Growls or no response. But after one month, one day Abby looked at her and wagged her tail. Steph asked to be let into the cage. Staff were hesitant but Steph insisted.....she wound up taking her home.......but when she and her then boyfriend broke up a couple of years later, she left Abby with James because she would be happier on the ten acre property they lived on than stuck in a small apartment in the city. <br /><br />Four years after that, Steph began to dream about Abby. After a few weeks she called James to ask "Is Abby all right? I was dreaming about her every night three weeks ago." James paused, then told her Abby had died right at that time - her spirit had found Steph to say goodbye.<br /><br />Oh my god, this is all breaking my heart which is in fragile shape about dogs these days as it is!<br /><br />anyway - WONDERFUL story. Just beautiful.Sherry Blue Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10769154286598233146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107838361391025851.post-42177811159834476892009-02-15T08:37:00.000-05:002009-02-15T08:37:00.000-05:00ack, SUNdance, not "sindance." he didn't have an e...ack, SUNdance, not "sindance." he didn't have an evil bone in his body.Fireblossomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07040525704916368792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107838361391025851.post-47303893568387889722009-02-15T08:36:00.000-05:002009-02-15T08:36:00.000-05:00oOo, hooray RK, for adopting shelter babies!I'm gl...oOo, hooray RK, for adopting shelter babies!<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you liked hearing about my Sunny, Scarlet!
