I knew he was "sitting" in the passenger seat of my 2-seater sportscar. I gained my composure and drove home, comforted by his presence. When I parked the car in my driveway and turned off the ignition, the Old Spice scent vanished. I knew he was gone and has never visited again.

In 1988, I took my extremely aggressive Chinese Shar-Pei to the Vet to be neutered, at 8:30 on a Friday morning. At 11:50 a.m., I saw him "sitting" in the hallway, with his head caulked sideways, just looking at me. I said his name Jin Ju and then realized, hey wait a minute, you're at the Vet! The phone rang and when I answered it, it was the Vet calling to say my dog was dead. Jin Ju had come to say goodbye.

This is probably why spirits show themselves to animals..the fact that animals can't talk..This is the time I wish they could say something to us. Your experience was awsome..I would love to see my harvee (pug) again..I dream of him often..like he was still around. You must be sensative.
