Do their spirits stay with us?

When we are so connected to our pets - I just know that they stay with us!

Her spirit's still strong!

My Baby Girl!  I have loved her since the first time that I laid eyes on her in May of 1989!  We had a wonderful journey together - for 14 years.  Fourteen years of unconditional love - me for her in that I would do ANYTHING for her - and her for me - in doing what dog's only know how to do and that is to please!  Oh my goodness!  She was My Love and my world!
She's been gone almost 6 1/2 years.  It seems like only yesterday on one hand - and then on the other it was a lifetime ago.  But, there is one thing that I do know for sure.  She is still with me,...  Lately, it's how I explain the "walking-pressure" sensation that I feel on the bed at night.  Clearly, someone or something is on my bed - walking around.  At first, I thought it was one of the other babies, moving around to get more comfortable.  However, when I put my hand down to make sure they were okay, there was no one there.  But the pressure on the bed continued.
Yep, she's still with me.  And, now with the addition of Rudy The Cat - she is completely intrigued by this new creature that's joined the house.  I doubt she's happy with it - as she was not a cat "girl."  But, nonetheless - she makes herself known, probably to let me know that SHE, too, is still a part of the house and of the group.  It's so comforting to know that this Love is my angel - and is still coming around in spirit to make sure her Mommy knows that she loves me!  Ah, the beauty of that unconditional love!  Thanks, God, for my forever angel!
