This happened a few days back after my lab pup died. He was hit by a car in the evening when I took him for a walk. He was an adorable companion, and would welcome me warmly after I returned from work. Honestly, I forgot all my problems about office once I saw him. After his death I was really upset and used to think about him all the time. As I stay alone, he was my roommate. Joe (my dog) always slept with me in the bed.
One night while I was lying on bed after coming back home, I heard scratching sounds just next to my bed. It was exactly like Joe did when he wanted me to take him out for a leak. I got up and searched the area, but I didn't find anything. I got even more upset and started missing him a lot. But as I was tired by the day's work I gradually fell asleep.
But yesterday something really weird happened. As soon as I switched off the lights and went to bed, I again heard that scratching sound. But this time I didn't get up. After sometime, I felt like someone sitting on the edge of the bed and slowly moving towards me. I don't know why but at that very moment I called for Joe, the same way I use to call him from underneath the blanket. Then as soon as I called his name, it felt like someone just ran from the foot of the bed towards my head and sat on the pillows. It was the exact same thing Joe did whenever I called him to sleep with me.
I immediately got up and switched on my cell phone's flashlight but couldn't see him. I really felt bad and was in tears. I felt as he came back to say that he is fine and there with me.
I really miss him a lot and just pray that wherever he is, he's happy.
Both of you are lucky as you share an eternal bond with each other, no wonder he still cares to show you that he is there for you!
God Bless!
