Ghost Dogs

[Cujo]

I doubt size has anything to do with it, but I had a massive 130 pound White German Shepherd. He stood 5ft 7inches on his hind legs, and was 31 inches at the withers when on all fours. His head was well above my waist when he walked/his head was higher then my kitchen table. Anyway, right after he died, we started seeing huge orange flashes of light shoot across our yard and into the field, insanely fast. My dog always loved to run, but as he got old he couldn't run anymore. It would make sense for him to be shooting through like that, and we have taken two pictures here that look like he is in them.They are not clear, but it does like like he is in the pictures. In the picture that looks like he is in it from our back yard, there is the form of another dog that looks like my old collie, which was his best friend.

I walked into my bathroom, and there are huge muddy paw prints in my bathtub. Wanna know the weird thing? There were NO paw prints on the tile leading to the tub. There is NO way that one of our German Shepherds could have walked in and left mud only on the tub. Besides, my bathroom door was closed, and we don't let the dogs sleep in our rooms if they are muddy. I can't explain it.

Hey, I just shared two stories about my dog Tito.
I've seen shadows in the backyard, running on the ground, or passing before my eyes, and also approaching to me like my dogs used to do when they wanted to lay on my legs when I was sat on the ground.

Also a strange dog, very simmilar to Tito but bigger, followed me while I was going to work some days ago and he was so happy to see me that I guess it was Tito who told him I was his owner so that dog could play with me. I've never seen the dog before, but he was about 500 meters away from me, and when he looked at me, he was so happy and shaking his tail like he recognized me from somewherer and just came running to play!

I'm afraid I made Tito get stuck on this world since he passed about two weeks ago and last Friday I felt him touching my ankle like he was asking for food while I was feeding the other dog, Bulma.

I guess it's not good for him to be around, he should rest and I feel really concerned that my feelings about him are making him worried to.
I'll go to the backyard today and try to set him free.
I'll let you know about it tomorrow.
Hugs,
MJ

So sorry to hear he passed away.


I hope you get him to "rest".

Yes, mslemon, if he's still here, I've got to set him free.
I felt so sorry he passed, he was actually old and I knew he wouldn't last more than a month, however, on that Saturday specificaly, I could not get up to the backyard because of the heavy rain. When I got there to see him on Sunday, it was too late.
I've seen in a film that native americans blow some air on their horses and pet faces to set them free when they give the animals back to nature. I've done this to most of my pets which I buried, and did this to Tito too, but I was too guilty and pity of him, he was blind and at the moment I put him on the ground, I was wishing that he could have had a free life... not in a kennel, depending on me to set him free to run around... or to call him back as we have no fences and I was always afraid neighbors would complain to see him on the streets... maybe these feelings are holding him back.

The guilt issues are all yours. Let those go. He knows you did the best you could. We tend to beat ourselves up over and over and over about things, when in reality, it only happened once. Wish him well and send him on and then be kind to yourself.

Thanks for the words.
I went upstairs to the backyard yesterday, to check the new dog house my Mom improvised for Bulma. It's on a path before the "forest" gets too deep...
Bulma still refuses to get to the kennel... thank God Mom lets her around, because she never liked my dogs, and I'd rather have Bulma around too than in the kennel, so far from us.
My mom even gave her a nice rug and a pillow, I got really surprised! My Mom never seemed to care about them!
Anyway... while I was feeding Bulma, I made a little prayer for Tito wishing he would go away in peace, I'm not sure if this worked, but maybe the friendly dog I met on the street last Monday was a sign from Tito that he was happy to have lived with me... and that I was forgiven already.

It's nice to have someone to talk about these things. It's good to have someone to hear us about our issues, feelings, etc... but it's much better to have someone who shares the same beliefs about paranormal things.
I can talk about feelings with anyone, but lately I've noticed that even my husband gives me side looks (is this right? when someone stares you with the corner of the eye) or even laugh when I tell him about "strange" or paranormal things when I SEE them happening.
Even my father, who I thought was very fond of paranormal stories, said he does not care that much about spirits... he sadly told me that he gave up on believing.

Thanks a lot for listening...
Hugs,
MJ

You're very welcome, Mariejo. That's what we're here for. 


If you feel at peace, I'm sure your dog is, too. I'm glad things seemed to have worked out.


I never seem to have anything paranormal happen around me, so I don't have much to share on that front.  But I'm willing to listen and offer my opinion, even if it sucks.
