When I was a little girl, I would draw pictures of a shepherd wolf like dog with bright eyes and perky ears. I didnt know WHY I was drawing these pictures, but that I just felt a need to. I told everyone that this was going to be my future dog one day.
Years later , my mother and father brought a puppy home with them. As soon as I saw this little wolf-like pup my eyes lit up in excitment. I felt an instant attachement to this puppy- as though I knew her before. We called her Mandy.
As Mandy grew up, she resembled the drawings I used to make as a little girl-- she even had the same bright eyes-- so much so that my mother used to nickname her "Bright Eyes". Mandy was a very intelligent dog. We think she had some wolf breeding in her . A woman we met in Canada who raised wolves mentioned that to us once-- she said her mannerisms were just like her wolf pups.
Some time later --around 2007, we had to put Mandy to sleep. Too many over the counter snacks we gave her brought on diabetes. We didnt know she had it, a eventually she wasnt even able to walk any longer.
While I was at work, I felt Mandy's presence with me outside of my workplace. I thought how odd that was, as she wasnt supposed to be euthanized until later that afternoon. I still felt her presence with me --sitting with me on the side walk during my 12:30 lunchbreak.
I called my mother- who confirmed that they decided to put her to sleep at 12:00. I cried my head off in grief.
Months later around 2:00 am in January, I was awaken from my sleep by some strong energy in our home. While laying in bed with my eyes open, I heard Mandy's familiar wolf-like howl downstairs in our livingroom. I hadnt known at the time that my mother (who sleeps downstairs) also heard her as well.
I sent out a thought to Mandy and called out to her in my mind. I said, "Mandy, if that is you, come upstairs and be with me!" Suddenly I felt a rush of energy near the left side of my bed. I felt this feeling of excitement and relief and joy. And I felt her lick my face-- not a physical sensation but an energetic type sensation that was just as though a dog was licking my face. I felt her emotion. I fell back asleep with a smile on my face but never shared this experience with anyone in my family--including my mother.
Some weeks later my mother blurted out in the car that she had heard Mandy howl in the livingroom some weeks before. I stared at her with my mouth open while my father joked that she was losing it mentally. I interrupted-- and told her how I heard her too. We both looked at each other and realized from that day foreward that animals have souls-- they live on as humans do.
I remember the drawings of my youth- of a dog I used to draw that looked exactly like Mandy-- she was my soul sister. Wether in another lifetime, or in the Heavenly Realms of theGreat Spirit- we knew each other before and we will see each other again
