Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

Dear Readers, I would like to, first of all, thank you for reading my story.

When I was 7 years old, my grandmothers’ sister had a dog that gave birth to a litter of Yorkies. She promised one for me and my grandmother and I and we decided to name her Skittles. Every week when she grew a little bigger aunt Peggy (that’s what I called my grandmas’ sister) would send us pictures of her. Finally we took a trip up and got her. The first time I saw her, she was just this tiny little puppy with big eyes and perky ears and I remember once when I was holding her she fell asleep in my arms so I wrapped her in my little jacket and held her in my arms for hours.

A few years later, we moved to a house with a bigger yard and I remember watching her and our other dog Barney (who has also passed, God rest his soul) run thru our front door to our back door and around the big yard, playing and just being happy.

After Barney passed in 2007, Skittles was getting older and not as playful but still full of life. I tried taking care of her as much as I could, petting her and calling her my baby girl.

Last year, we got another dog. A beautiful long hair Chihuahua named Teddy Bear. He got Skittles pregnant and we worried about her because of her old age. Anyway, on April 21st, 2010, I knew she went into labor and I stayed up with her all night (also because my grandmother was very sick and we were supposed to take her to the hospital early the next morning so I just stayed up so I could watch her too.) She gave birth to 1 beautiful puppy but we had to leave so I couldn’t be there for the rest. I stayed with my grandmother while she was in the hospital and my dad and his wife went home and they texted me later to tell me the other pups didn’t make it and Skittles seemed frail.

Days later when we got out of the hospital, I petted Skittles and realized she hadn’t ate or drank in days and there was still blood coming out of her. Since it was so late, we couldn’t go to the vet that night so we got up the next morning and I picked Skittles up and realized she was unable to walk. So we put her and the pup in the car and started looking for a vet that would let us make payments on the bill if they could do something to cure her. My father called and said if we could meet him in town he would take her to a vet he found. So we drove to meet him and when we did, he took one look at her in the back seat and told us she had already passed. We had her for 11 years. I stood in the parking lot we were in and fell apart crying and shaking.

The night before that happened, I petted her and told her that she was a pretty girl and a great little mommy and she licked my finger, almost as though she was saying goodbye. And just the next morning, I awoke to find the puppy she had, had also passed. Now, weeks later, we (my grandmother and I) have started hearing unexplained sounds. When Skittles would lay in her bed, she would lick herself excessively, and we both heard the very distinct sound of her doing that. And then sometimes, she would shake her head really fast and we also heard the sound of that the very next night.

After that, I took my dog Teddy Bear and was playing with him and sort of baby talking him and I asked if he missed Skittles and asked if she has been around and the second the words came out of my mouth I and my dog heard the sound of paws on the kitchen floor! Please comment on this story and tell me what you honestly think, please and thanks again for reading this. I appreciate it.
