Dear Melissa,

My beloved dog, Jack, passed away three years ago. He was sixteen years old and the love of my life. I miss him every day although I know his Spirit is always with me. I dream of him often and I talk to him all the time (always when I am cooking!) He used to sit in the kitchen and watch me cook and now, whenever I cook, I always end up accidentally dropping some food. I know that is a ‘wink’ to him that that food is his! I keep his ashes on a shelf in my living room. I wrapped his collar around the urn. In the past few weeks, I have come home twice to see his collar on the ground in front of the shelf. This is very odd since the collar is literally wrapped around the urn and cannot easily fall off. Any insight into why this is happening? I feel it is a sign from him. Am I right?

Sincerely,

Jack’s mom

Dear Jack’s mom,

Thank you for allowing me to connect with Jack. He is amazing…an old soul with whole lot of spunk. The one thing I have learned by communicating with animals is that they are all around us. They usually stay with  us when they pass away until they make their way back into our lives. There is a special connection that we carry with our pets; they come into our lives to teach us whatever we need to learn at that time. When they pass, they continue to stand by our sides and you can make a connection. I have found that many of our pets come into our lives several times throughout a current lifetime.

You feel that Jack has a message for you and you are spot on! He communicates with you all of the time and he sits in your kitchen while you are cooking. And there is a bigger message. He is saying to you, “I know that you have thought about getting a new pet. You think about how much you miss me and become filled with sadness and think, ‘I don’t want to go through that again’. I know you are in a place of vacillating back and forth. My message to you is that I am ready to come back into your life when you are. I have been trying to let you know that I am ready. There is no pressure; as you will know the right time. I just want you to know I am ready.”

Thank you, Jack’s mom for inviting me to experience him. He is ready to come back into your life. However, you have to feel 100% ready to have that happen again. He will not be the same in temperament as your Jack, but it will be his spirit. Time will tell but just trust and know in your heart when you are ready to walk with him again, and he will be there!

Love,

Melissa

Melissa helped me with my lost dog recently. While the info she gave me did not make sense at the time — she was 100% accurate! Unbeknownst to me, my husband had found the dog “to the right of my house” (as Melissa said) with “other dogs, brown or brown and white”. Sure enough, my husband had taken our brown dog and one of the white ones with him! She had said she thought Shadow was just having fun and in no danger or hurt. Right again. Thank you Melissa for making a stressful time a little less painful.
