Default Re: Some advice please

My heart goes out to you, as this loved one has been with you almost all of your life. If and when your loved one starts to suffer, you can give him permission to leave his body, and tell him it's for the best, and that you are okay with it. That you understand his need to leave the body, and that your heart will be with him. Then, watch out for another pup...one with the same eyes, or same personality. He will try to return to you. Keep an open mind and and open heart, and do not grieve overly long. If you grieve too long, you may mess up the timing of his return to you. I have heard of six weeks to six months among the people I know who are aware of this. Dogs don't come back as people...they are pure dog energy and it is so wonderful. Celebrate how much you gave each other...and look forward to your reunion. I will be thinking about you. Linda
