A Message Of Love From The Rainbow Bridge

Recently, my beloved 18-year-old dog needed to be put down. I asked her, and her sister, to hold on until we moved out of state. For some reason, I just felt the need for them to make one more move with me. They had relocated with me wherever I went for the past 18 years, but this was a big one. They were both amazingly healthy, I was just nervous and concerned for their well-being.

Unfortunately, we were scammed in the real estate deal linked to this move, having been told the heater in our new home had been serviced and was in working order. Arriving there, we found out it was actually a very old oil heater. It was cracked, toxic and not working at all.

Keeping my dogs warm, which is essential for old dogs, was near impossible. The house only allowed for one space heater, or the electricity would go out. The dogs wandered around, and we struggled to keep a blanket or heater on them consistently. Soon one of my dogs stopped walking.

My dog was so loved. The pain was intense when she passed. However, she came to me in a dream soon after. In this vision she was young, beautiful, with a clean, shiny coat. She was also warm and comfortable, lying in the sun. There was a glimmering rainbow on her body – a symbol of the Rainbow Bridge that leads to the Other Side. I knew she was telling me she was doing okay now. She was in the light.

I am so grateful for the wonderful 18 years I had with my dog. My vet once told me I would most likely only have a maximum of 14 years with them, 15 if I was really lucky. So, 18 years was a great gift! I hate the way she passed. I feel she might have lived at least another year, if it weren’t for the greed and deception of the people who sold us this house.

There are karmic consequences for everything we do. Living in this house, I have experienced a psychic retrocognition that the previous owners had pet after pet falling sick, passing early, or running away. Pets hold out karma. They will have no clue, until they cross over someday, as to why these things keep happening to them.

But, every time I feel the pain and loss, I think about that visitation dream and her gift of love to me. She knew exactly what I needed to make my pain ease. It was her final act of unconditional love, after 18 years of her selfless companionship. Rest in peace, my beloved Truffle. Someday you and I will cross that Rainbow Bridge together into Heaven… never again to be separated.
