Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

I would like to share with you the power of spirit and the power of love. I was blessed to receive my bundles of joy ten years ago. My little darling’s name was Zoe. My other new dog was a hefty 20 pounder Chihuahua whom I also love deeply.

Anyway their former owner felt that she was too busy for the dogs and made the painful sacrifice of letting them go. Not long after I became Zoe’s and Yoda’s mama, this former owner came by to see how the dogs were doing. Zoe looked at the young woman then jumped on my lap as if to say, “This is my mama now.”

Every soul is special but Zoe really was something special. She had an inner strength and a mind of her own as any small dog owner would probably tell you. At maybe five pounds, this little dog was my spiritual strength. No matter how much chaos went on around her, she took it like a soldier. She always knew what I needed. I always marveled at how strong her spirit is.

When Zoe passed away last November, I was more than devastated. I thought I would die from the pain. I did feel her touch me when in the car just after she died. But finally one morning as I was sobbing, I asked my baby dog if she could give me a really “big” sign that she was still with me in spirit. I thought that maybe I would get something at some point in the day but of course I had no idea how fast that sign would come. So as I am sobbing upstairs in my room with her ashes and tiny sweater, I make my way downstairs to the kitchen for something and that is when I got the sign. In this kitchen there is a door that is tightly shut and locked. What are the odds that the door would burst open with tremendous force when it had never done so before? Right then I felt her love and power all around me as I continued to sob but this time in relief.

So never underestimate the bond between you and your pet. They are eternal love. They have a soul that will always love you. Blessings.
