Once or twice a night she’d pop into my room, make sure I was good, then head back to the couch with my mom. I miss you so much girl. Visit me whenever you want.
Years before my dog passed, I sat in my bed, with her at my feet, and thought about the days she’d be gone.
I started crying. Then the little sweetheart did what little sweethearts do - she came up to me, snuggled me, and gave me kisses.
I held her and let it imprint into my mind.
When she did pass years later, I thought about that night and how she did her best to comfort me. I imagined her still doing that, if she had been here.
Her passing wasn’t easy, but having known how she reacted when I’d already thought about it made the time easier. I know she didn’t want me to be sad. She wanted to make me happy and be a supportive friend. Even in death, I could recall that one night and remember her sweetness trying to pick me up.
To this day, I carry some of her ashes in a necklace over my heart. She used to want to follow me everywhere. Now she always will.
Saved this. My doggo is nearly 15 and whole he’s still healthy I am much too afraid of losing him. I suspect I’ll need a reminder like this in the future.
I had a pair of ferrets for a few years. A couple of nights after one of them passed, I saw her in a dream, but only that once. Her partner lived out a few more years and eventually passed too. I did eventually see the second one in a dream too, but it took a lot longer. They were fun little companions, and I wish I had more time with them, but it was nice to feel like I was getting closure, plus I knew they weren’t sick anymore.
When I dream my late dog who passed unexpectedly, it’s often very distressing, because I somehow know she will leave me again and I need to protect her. I usually end up crying in sleep.
For a while after my cat died, every time he showed up in a dream I’d remember he was gone and know it was a dream. Still was nice to see him again, though, and he did me a solid for some bad dreams.

OK, now I’m crying.

My gf has this dream every couple weeks. It helps and devastates her at the same time. We miss our good boy.

Yeah, this comic sparks some feelings…

Similar, but I kind of know she’s actually dead, but I then actively suppress the thought to spend more time with her in my dream.

I’m fucking tearing up. I miss you Link. Something fierce. Damn they are wonderful creatures.
I miss my little guys and girls so much. I really wish they would pop up in my dreams every now and then.
My dogs are 13 and 14 next week and I don’t want to think about this.

I just had a dream about my old bird visiting too :,)
