Pets and Human Relationships

Question: Hello Alana. Thank you for being here. I have a question regarding pets. My little dog is truly a blessing in my life, and I am wondering about the real function of pets. I have heard that they are emotion buffers for us. But, I sense that they understand more about their function regarding us more than we do about ours with them. I appreciate you.

Answer: Hello, dear one! Thank you for your question about pets. People and pets are a synergistic combination and they compliment each other. Yes, you are correct that we, meaning humans, are learning much more about animals and how they relate to us. Animals often have a greater sense of how they relate to us than we have a sense of how we relate to them.

An animal is a wonderful gift that we give ourselves as we create relationships with them. Animals and pets are often spirit guides that come into body over and over again to be our companions. They sometimes embody as extensions of our spirit guides that are in the non-visible. For example we will have a spirit guide in the non-visible and then an aspect of their intention will come forth within a pet vibration. The pet vibration will assist us by bringing us love, or comfort, or helping us relate to what we are experiencing. They also provide healing. They offer a healing tone and vibration just as nature does when we spend time smelling flowers, leaning against a tree, or picking up stones, for instance. Recognize there is a relationship and a synergy between nature and humans, as well.

What is another delightful aspect about pets is how they can language. They can communicate and we can communicate with them with much more ease than a we can with plant life. A plant offers a different vibration and relationship. It is also definitely capable of sensing and sharing telepathic communication even that which is shared between humans and animals. This occurs on such a subtle level.

Your pets have many senses. They know when you are going to the store, they know when you are coming home from the store, and they can feel your thoughts. They often act out your thoughts, too. They are so connected in thought! In fact, if you could see the way that we communicate with each other in the non-visible you would be greatly excited and surprised by how much information exchanges.

So, pets are often here as our helpers and to bring comfort, no matter what level they are on. What I mean by this is that even the neighbors pet can extend delightful energy. So, it isn't that you have to own them or have them in your home. You can just be around them to feel their effects.

Hopefully this answer provided insight to your question. This is definitely a topic we could talk about in length. But, Alana wanted to give you some of the highlights so that you can understand the complimentary relationship that exists between pets and their owners.

Thank you, dear one.

--Alana

Hi Alana, I was wondering if a dog I have recently had to put to sleep due to an unfortunate situation that occurred with my daughter, will still come to me in spirit? I loved my dog so much, more than anything and he was always funny with my daughter. She also loved him very much. There had been a few incidents leading up to the event and I had spoken with my partner and we agreed if there was any serious signs we would rehome the dog. My husband works abroad and I am unable to contact him quickly. The dog bit my child, not savaged but drew blood, if it had been slightly lower it would have caused serious damage. I took the decision in anger to euthanize him and have regretted it since then. I miss him more than anything and cry everyday. I just want him to understand I didn't do it because I don't love him. I did it because I thought it was the only thing I could do to protect my children. If I hadn't have been so angry I would have rehomed him. I didn't and now he is gone and I will never see him again. Please can you see if you can connect with him and let him know I want him around and I love him dearly.

Hi Alana, four and a half years ago I found Jodi and gave her to my mother and father as a gift from my sister, myself and brother. She was beautiful and became my mothers best friend and they were inseparable. On June 30, my father left the front door open by accident and she ran away. We tried everything to find her, ads, door to door searches, walks in the woods, posters. On Sunday, I received a call that they had a found a Yorkie in their yard that had passed sometime in the morning. She was not there the night before. My entire family has been devastated by her running away and now to find out that she had died alone of dehydration probably in her attempt to find her way back home. She was such a baby and she demanded kisses even if that meant crawling on your head and around your shoulders. We miss her so much and it was so hard to know that was her. Can you tell me where her spirit is now? Is she with us? Is she at peace? I have no closure even in her death and am tormented by wondering if we had done enough. Why did this happen? Why when she was so close, could she not find her way home? Please give me some peace and let me know her thoughts.

Alana, my beloved dog pasted away suddenly last week. He was my best friend and we were always together. He died of heart failure we think, and his lungs were filled with fluid. I need to know he is okay. I need to know that he loved me and that he doesn't blame me for anything. I also want him to know that I loved him dearly, and I still do. He was the most amazing dog, and the sudden passing has really made the biggest hole in my heart. I want to know if he is with me or where he is, also if you could tell him the impact he made in my life, and the way he taught me to love. He changed my life. If this question is answered it would really help me. His name was Ginger and he was born on the 25th of May 1997. Make sure he knows that I love and miss him so much. Thankyou.

Hi Alana, I have always thought that dogs could sense spirits and I am quite sure that our new puppy Dooley is sensing some sort of presence at times. Sometimes he just stares at a space and seems curious at other times he almost seems a bit wary or slightly spooked. He runs inside and sits almost on top of us. He faces the door and almost waits like he's expecting something to come in? Would this be due to it being a bad spirit or just that he's still only young? You have mentioned in response to a question that animals and pets are spirit guides. I loved reading your answer and totally believe in your theory, it all makes so much sense to me especially the healing tones and vibrations they offer us. My beloved dog Homer passed away last year and sometimes I find our new pup Dooley reminds me of his personality trait wise, and they are completely different breeds. Could there be a chance that it's the same spirit? Also if it is a spirit he senses would you know who's spirit it is or would you need more information, regards Elli?

Hi Alana, we just lost our beloved dog named Sierra a black Labrador, two weeks ago. I missed her terribly. I love her and will always remember her everyday of my life. She was a very affectionate dog, loving, protective, and a smart wonderful dog. I was wondering if she is still around me. Prior to her death, while at church I prayed to God to just take her already if she was going to take her anyway. Just hated to see her suffering. My prayers were quickly answered within a couple of hours. And also because I could find a way to put her down. To decide when to end her life is so hard for me to bear. I am so thankful that she went on her own. But a couple of days before that I told her that she can go if she wants to and not to worry about me that I will be okay in time. What I regret the most is that I should have went home right after church instead of going to the store. As I was walking out of the store my daughter was calling me and I knew what she was going to say. I drove fast only to find her lifeless. I wanted to be next to her and to have her see me before she past on. I just wanted to find out if she is okay. I know she always wanted to be next to me. Please tell her I love her so much. I miss the way I kissed her on the nose, stole food from the kitchen counter and just her being around the house, she protected her house and us, she came to the door to greet me even when she wasn't feeling well. Please find out if she is still around us. And if she is okay and happy wherever she is at, sincerely Ellen.

Hi, I put my dog to sleep on Saturday. She had cancer and was full of tumors she wasn't well on Friday and then on Saturday she was a lot worse and kept being sick. She was full of tumors and was in pain. She was constantly panting. She was lying there and couldn't hold up her head. Please could you tell me if her spirits are still with me here at home. I miss her so much and can't stop crying. can she hear me if I talk to her. I need to know she is OK and she knows I put her to sleep because I love her and couldn't watch her suffering any longer.

I battled my beloved 13 year-old dachshund Gretchen's kidney disease for five months before this dreadful affliction took her from me. She and I were or are inseparable. When I had the awful task of putting her out of pain I was devastated. I consulted a Pet Psychic and the reading was remarkable. Soon after the first session, I began to sense Gretchen’s presence and this energy I feel is interactive. I can ask her questions and get a response which is a fluctuation of energy. One day her energy was so strong, my wife got to share in the visitation. So, for the comfort to all that have lost their beloved pet, they are eternal and do visit. The Psychic said that everyone perceives a visit in different ways, some hear, some see, and some like me feel the visitation. The love for my Gretchen will never waiver, and I cherish each time she comes around. God bless everyone that shares in the love of a pet.
