Thank you all that shared your stories. I will read them more carefully in the morning.

My DH picked up Cooper's ashes yesterday. I have not look at the container and told him I would view it later. They also make a paw print.

Last night, he took Cooper out to our double swings and they spent time together. I watched from the bedroom window and cried. I could not bring myself to join them.

This is something Cooper loved to do when he was here. He would jump right up and fall asleep swinging.

I read somewhere if it the pet or pets are essential for my happiness in heaven, they will be there... I believe this... I know animals do not have souls. I love animals and would love to have them in heaven and taking care of them.....

blackhole99, sorry to contradict you, but no where in the Bible does it say God did not give animal souls! In fact, the scriptures talk about how all living things have a soul and that includes animals.

Also, for those of you that are familiar with people that have had near death experiences, you know that often these individuals have seen animals and especially those they had in this life. That is, of course, if they were good stewards over their animals in this life!

So, while losing a beloved pet is devastating, I know I will see my beloved pets again!

Cheers!

My heart is breaking for you. I just lost my cat Shadow. You seem to have a caring husband. Hugs to you both and sweet Cooper.

Im Sorry for your loss and pain as i know us animal lovers get so close like there are children. I had a lady come to my house originally she was to do a regular reading on my son and sister and me but i also had a house full of wild life 3 igunas .bearded dragon . fish .snake . and 2 cats as she was doing regular readings she kept getting intrupted talking to my iguna for some reason Jack she picked up things that had past prior in house she was pretty good picking up his personalty for first time meeting . my other cat special k she new we had a bond that cat was next to me like glue . So i do think they can do a good reading on animals ones that have passed if you were very very close to them i no she picked up on one that passed and new she followed me home thata how i owned her she was my friends at the time but they had so many cats . you probably were very close i would def do it im surprised you havent got signs already ?? good luck

I adopted a 9 yr old Lhasa Apso who was orphaned when her owner died. Holly frequently used to stare at the upper wall for long periods of time. I took her to a pet communicator here, Cindy Brody, who told me that her first owner frequently talked to her, as I had suspected. They were very close. When Holly died, I told her to run to her Mommy.

I had hoped to enjoy visits by Holly but have not had the previlege and have given up that she will do this. I, too, am overwhelmed with grief even after 20 months.

Besides Cindy Brody, there is Val Heart that can assist in communication. Both have websites.

@NYwoman

I've considered contacting someone, but I have mixed emotions about it. Time will tell, but I've noted the names you mentioned.

My desire to do so has everything to do with the fact that the surgery I opted to have for Cooper, ended up taking him from me. He just couldn't recover from the surgery, and the cancer inside his ear didn't help. So, I feel endless guilt at choosing to listen to the vet (he didn't push, but offered the option). I had said, "no surgery" and then changed my mind.

His last month was miserable as he struggled to understand what had happened to him. I felt punished every day watching him

I want to tell him I'm so sorry, but would he know or understand?

I'm sorry you lost your Holly, but I'm sure you loved her as much as I loved Cooper.

The hardest thing is accepting they are gone from our lives.
