Dreams so life like of my Sadie and Pokey

[Denise & Sophie]

I know that Sadie and Pokey , my two toy terriers will always be a part of me and will always be in my heart. I sadly lost both of them within three months in 2010. It's funny when I sit and think about how different my life was 7 years ago before I met my husband. Sadie and Pokey were my life. We lived alone and they went everywhere with me. They loved going for car rides. Sadie would lay across my shoulders and lay her face next to my cheek. Pokey would sit beside me. I never imagined life without them. I waited a year and felt that it was time find a new puppy to share our lives with. Well in 2 weeks we will be picking our new puppy out. The past 2 months I have dreams that were so real that I could feel them licking my face and feel them jumping on me. I can only believe that this is their way of telling me they are ok and that its ok to love another dog. Maybe deep in the back of my mind I have been wondering what they would think.....I was hoping that typing this would make me feel better but if tears rolling down my cheeks are any indication I guess it didn't. Maybe tomorrow.

They were giving you their blessing-they know how they are still loved but would want you to have a happy heart again! You will never forget them just because you are getting another dog. This should be a happy time for you!

Hang in there the new dog will also be a blessing!

[Mimi Linna, Lilly and Lolly]

hugs... I am sure they are right there cheering you on!! I had a dream that I was hugging my dad ( lost him to cancer in 2007) and in my dream I thought to myself... if I don't tell him he is dead, he will stay. that hug felt so real.  Lilly will do something and I will think.. mocha used to do that or geez that reminds me of molly....can't wait to hear of your adventures with the new little one..

[Denise & Sophie]

Thanks again to all of you! It's so nice to belong to a group of such wonderful and caring dog lovers! So many of you said exactly how I feel. I have a lot on my "plate" right now. I am getting ready to bring my 88 yr old father back home with me from a hospital stay. We pick our puppy out on 19th and instead of bringing it home we have to leave it (I hate saying it..he or she) with breeder an extra 10 days because of our family vacation (no pets allowed). Also not knowing if dad will be able to go. So emotions are running high. But anyhow Thanks so much to all of you!! I feel like I have found a wonderful home in DK with all of you!!

[Susan and Sasha]

Sadie and Pokey would be thrilled that you are getting another puppy.  You are not replacing what you had with them, just adding another dimension to your life.  When you have children and decide to have a second or third child, you are not replacing the first but adding more love to your family....

[Nancy, Ned, Clancy, and Charlie]

I am sure Sadie and Pokey would be glad that you are getting a new puppy and your dreams are telling you this. I am sure you wish that your new pup could meet them and see  what a good doggie mom you were and will be again.

[Jennifer and Jack]

Of course they want you to love on and be loved by another dog, You gave them a great life while they were here, and now you have more dogs to love.. you don't stop loving what you had, you just add to it.. Sending love

I still have very life like dreams of all of my departed animals from time to time. Some have been gone for nearly 20 years. But I LOVE it because it is so real that it is like we have really spent time together!! When I awaken I can still feel the silky texture of their coats! I really think they are visitations!  I'm so sorry for your losses. We lost our 15 year old dog and our 18 year old cat on the same day some years back. It was devastating but Tara has been what finally got me past the grief. I believe your new little friend will help you with that too!  Doodle Hugs from Ricki & Tara

I do believe Sadie & Pokey were letting you know that they are happy that you are getting another furkid.  They will always share a special place in your heart.

You will never forget Sadie and Pokey.  I got Max, my cocker spaniel when he was 8 weeks old and had him until he was 14 years old.  He went was with me through out so many good and bad things.  He was the only constant, I still feel him with me sometimes.  I miss him so much.  The day I brought him to the vet, I never would have thought that I would leave the vet without my best friend, but I did.  I was so oblivious to his pain and the doctor made me realize how much pain he was in and it broke my heart.  I was divorced and a single mom the last 9 years of Max's life, and I firmly believe he stayed around long enough for me to find the man of my dreams and future husband.  Max took care of me just as much as I did him, maybe more.  Had it not been for Max, I am not sure how I would have made it through some of the roughest times in my life.  It took me 6 years to finally get another dog.  I love Kahlua and don't know what I would do without her, but she and I don't have the bond that Max and I had.  I will forever have him in my heart!
