Death of a Pet
While doing some background research on Dr Raymond Moody, the father of Near Death Experiences I came across a project which he has going.
For those of you who, like me, have a pet (that’s our Truffles on the left) or those who have lost a pet I thought you might be interested in this.
This is taken from Raymond’s website:
Grief and Death
Have you or a loved one suffered grief or had problems with the loss of a pet?
Dr. Moody is working to produce a new DVD, and possibly book, for those interested in and suffering from the loss of a pet. Many people have told stories and sought advice and solace from Dr. Moody at most of his lectures.
Often he has considered dealing with this subject but felt he had no first hand experience in the loss of a pet, only counseling and listening.
Included in this video will be a look at how pet loss differs from human loss, stories of pet transitions, empathetic death experiences between care giver and pet, preparing for the inevitable event and advice and counsel on coping and sharing the loss of a pet.
If you have a story or have had an experience with your pet and would be willing to share it please contact David Hinshaw, the producer, either by email david@lifeafterlife.com

Both my dogs, when they want something, sit very still and stare into my eyes. I assume that they are trying to send me a message by telepathy as they would to another dog.
But I can’t prove it because I can’t ask them!
You can ask them David – they have more difficulty answering
You dont happen to have border collies, do you? Our BC has mastered the stare and I believe it is in their breeding and is an innate part of their herding instinct.
So, maybe yours are trying to round you up – or get you to at least behave

On a rubber plantation, in 1969, one of our dogs, Kim, was a five year old, highly intelligent working sheepdog.
We had thoughts of emigrating from Ceylon, as it was then known, but leaving Kim without us was not something we felt we could do. Eventually, he was killed by a bus on the main road abutting the plantation so we decided to emigrate.
Many years later, in Australia, my daughter asked me whether my wife had ever told me about Kim and, having ascertained from her what she was talking about, I asked my wife about this and she told me that, from the time of Kim’s death to the time that we left, Kim used to disturb her at night by pacing our bedroom* and that she had to tell him to desist and go back to his bed which was in the room when he was alive.
I asked my wife why she had not mentioned this to me before and she said it was because she thought I would consider her mad!

Mad? Would you have thought that at the time Ian or have you always been inclined towards the paranormal?

Heavens, no! Sylvia had a bit of a self-worth problem
and, yes, I have “always” been very interested in the paranormal and was probably reading about it avidly as early as the mid 1940s.
Bye,
Ian.
