My precious pumpkin visited me last night.

[MoonRiver]

I dreamed I heard her tags hitting against each other and her toenails clicking on the floor. Then she was up on the bed. Then she was in my arms. I held her close, and felt her softness and warmth. It was so wonderful to have that experience again! Then I was standing up with pumpkin still in my arms. My husband was in front of me and I was trying to tell him how incredible it was that she was with us again. He didn't understand and was talking about something totally unrelated. Then I thought to myself, this is either a dream, or I'm dead and reunited with pumpkin. I was OK with either choice! But at that point I woke up and proceded to tell my husband, who coincidentally was also awake in the middle of the night, my dream. That "dream" was just so real. I absolutely know my baby came back to me visit me for a time.

1. I have no doubts

she visited you.

Hopefully, she will come back again and again.

[MoonRiver]

3. Yes, I hope so.

I told my little grandson and he was so happy that pumpkin is still with us.

2. what a lovely dream....

If you had it once, I think there's a good chance you'll have it again. Something to look forward to!

4. I can't wait!

5. They Miss Us As Well

No doubt they want to insure you are safe and still miss them as much as they miss you.
When my first dog died we finally gathered her dog bowl,toys etc but oddly her leash disappeared. It was like she was going to take one item to remind her of us. I hope to see her at Rainbow Bridge with that leash!

[MoonRiver]

6. I definitely felt her love!

She was our baby from 10 weeks old until the day she passed in my arms at 16 1/2. We'll always be together. I know it!

8. Most of my dearly departed

have visited me that way. (Human, cats and dog) I always see that their eyes are bright and clear and they are telling me it's OK. After that happens I can move on but never quit missing them all.

19. I have seen mine playing on a hill with lots of other dogs.

I know they are happy and having fun up there.

But I still miss them.

9. My Bushy Dog visited me every night for weeks

I felt here curl up on the same part of the bed she always slept on for 15 years. I would tell her how much I love her, I still do after 7 years of her passing.

10. Had to put my dog of 13 years to sleep 4 days ago

Hardest thing in the world to do. I haven't recovered yet and still find myself turning to see if he's following me as he always did. I hear of people having to do this more than once and damned if I know how. Never want to go through this again.

12. so very sorry for your loss. can promise you that it does get somewhat easier after a (long)

time. but we never stop missing or loving them.

[damnedifIknow]

15. Thank you

You're so right.

14. Hugs to you and those who loved your doggie...

You must know how much your doggie loved you.. love given and returned unconditionally.

18. it was the hardest thing I Had to do too.

I had to say goodbye to my cancer ridden 13 y.o. border collide 7 yrs ago. She was such a Loving Person.... that I'm wiping tears along with you.

I know your heart has been torn apart. It will heal. Frame a pic of your boy, that somehow helped me.

11. what a beautiful dream/experience, and thank you so much for sharing it. I know when mine

are visiting, I can feel them on the bed, or hear them on the floor (and I am wide awake, not in dream state). sometimes, I look over my shoulder, feeling them reading the computer screen as they used to do.

your pumpkin will visit you again.

[joanbarnes]

13. This has also happened to me, not only my dog, but my deceased aunt came and gave me an awesome hug.

[betharina]

16. thank you for sharing that beautiful experience! nt

17. A while back

I was missing my childhood dog, so one night I asked the powers that be to let me have a dream just so I could see my dog again. Well, I had a dream that I was on the college bus (that I used to take years after my dog passed) with my dog. The bus driver turns to me and says that I'm not allowed to bring a dog on the bus. I say that the dog has been on the bus every day since I started school there, so why mention it now?
When I woke up, I realized that this was a message that our loved ones are with us, wherever we go. It was pretty cool.

20. You know I have no belief in spirits and what not ...but ...

I have experienced dreams like this twice ... a dream about my beloved aunt and a dream about my dearest friend (of forty five years ... quite a feat as we were fifty when she took her life).

The dreams were incredibly real and incredible comforting ... the love I felt was unreal. I knew they were dead ... but I came away feeling like i was able to be with them one last time.

I am happy you were able to experience this.

(even though I say I do not believe in this ... these dreams have made me doubt that statement)

21. I've had several similar experiences, some while awake.

The day my aunt died, but before I knew she had passed, she visited me in my house. I intensely felt her presence toward my front door. I turned and looked in that direction. I did not see her, but felt her love and that she was saying goodbye. Later that day I learned she had died about that same time.

22. that chokes me up...I've had similar
