It was a cool, crisp day on Aug 30, 2010 – the day my beloved went home. I believe we all have a purpose in life – even the animals. The lessons they teach us, or the things we help them with or even the people or other animals they connect us with. Phoebe came into my life to help me with transition and me to show her love, to connect me with people at the end that made my life different and to show me to listen again. This last week had been quite the journey for both of us…
Phoebe became quite anxious so I thought this last week, but it wasn’t anxiousness it was urgency. She had been holding on for me – to tell me a message. After tears and tears and more tears the last couple week – I got it. I understood her, although, not without some help through a communicator, but she only confirmed what I heard and my dreams. What I knew and helped me understand what I need to do in the future and in the present.
(fyi – her decline wasn’t in a week, it had been months. She was older and had a serious hard life before she came to me)
Our animals only want our “present” – not the past, not the future, but the moments we have now together.
Millie had been helping Phoebe with this process and I asked before she went that Millie take her home and they take care of each other. Millie granted my wish and took her home. Phoebe was welcomed with Millie doing her carrot dance and an unusual amount of other spirits joined. I guess it was a huge party and Phoebe was beaming. I know what I have to do now to hear my animals both in spirit and in the now. I love them more than anything but this spiritual journey I have been on the last few days has taught me many lessons of letting go, being joyful and knowing that they only leave their earthly form, but they are always with me.
I love you, Phoebe, more than anything in the world and I am so honored and grateful that you came into my life. You are an incredibly strong, independent spirit and I am sure you are keeping everyone in line up there.
Until we meet again, my sweet.

Wow, Terrah! What a beautiful post about a beautiful pup!! And so many very cool pictures of your sweet girl!
You are SO RIGHT when you say “Our animals only want our “present†– not the past, not the future, but the moments we have now together.” Each moment I spend with Monroe (mostly in scratching his welt-strewn-allergy-ridden body) is a moment of heaven for both of us.
All of our dogs and pups will run happily through fields of greens and golds forever as they meet one another on the other side! O, what fun they will all have….even without the reindeer ears and flower petal crowns! 😉
