This weekend was a particularly difficult one for me. I was sitting at my computer when I heard Sammy Diva who was laying in the hall struggle to get up. She tried , then tried again, and I heard her cry. Within seconds I was up and she had forgotten that I was home. I held her and helped her up reassuring her that she was okay. Immediately I got every bathroom carpet and other carpets I had to line the hallway where she liked to lay. She was slipping on the tile and couldn’t get enough traction. It completely broke my heart . Its been difficult watching her age. I have had her with me since was 2 years old. We’ve done many things together and she has inspired me to be where I am today. She is now 13 .
She’s the entire reason I learned Reiki and she is the reason Reiki Fur Babies is here as well. Reiki cured her canine hip dysplasia many years ago. She has taught me so much over the years and has comforted me countless times. When I told Candy about what had happened she reminded me that she did right by her boxer Ry who requested to not be on chemo and lived in his physical body to only 5 years old. That of course the quality of life was important. Sammy Diva has so much dignity, and even though she lets me wipe her bottom, I will allow her dignity as well. She is one proud girl. 
That night I laid down next to Sammy Diva and promised her she would never suffer. I would not keep her here just for my selfish benefit if I thought she was suffering for a second. I love her too much for that. She listened and gave me a kiss. I know that our souls will forever be connected. She is a treasure that I will always have so much gratitude for. We’ll go on this journey together. I love you Sammy Diva.
You’re such a great mommy. She’ll come back to you in a fresh new body if you both want. Emma came back in a year – when she was 2 weeks old and still blind, she heard Don’s voice and crawled over to him. When we brought her home she marched into the living room, climbed her little puppy self onto her old spot on the couch and said I’m back! Saul came back in 4 months because I changed Emma’s food. That night I dreamed I got a fax saying Saul was coming back in July. (we had no plans to get a puppy in July). Then I got a call from the breeder saying they had an unexpected pregnancy and were due in July. He said he wanted a black head like Emma. When we went to pick him up, there were 2 boys with black heads. He heard my voice and knocked the other one over trying to get out of the pen to me. Now we discuss the wanted improvements in the next life such as Emma, no more orthopedic problems and Saul, keep your testicles down and in place next life!
Thanks Sara! Wow I had no diea abut Emma and Saul. That is a heart warming story. Your newfies are definitely big blessings. Thank you for sharing on this part of my journey with Sammy Diva!
We love you Sammy Diva! You two will definitely stay connected, for you two are a part of each other. Sending love to both of you.
Thank you Rhonda. So much appreciated. I do strongly believe that.
Oh, Ming, I am holding space for you and Sammy Diva and sending you both much love and comfort. Wish I could do more. You must know that you and all your fur babies will be forever connected. This is the hard part of loving – letting go of the physical form. But you know that you will never truly be apart. I’m so grateful that you and Sammy Diva found each other and got to spend so much time together. You have improved each other’s life experiences so many ways. I hope you can find comfort in remembering that.
Thank you Caren. It is very much appreciated. Thank you for holding that space. Yes, so true many years together.
Oh, Ming, I’m crying big purple tears of sadness and love. I know how hard this is. How much it hurts. But how freeing it is for Sammy’s soul. Sending you lots of love and all the angels now.
Ming xoxoxo to you and Sammy Diva daily. I do know how you feel. I never wanted to make that decision for (my golden) Ruby Begonia. I always thought I’d wake up one day and she would have passed in her sleep. She was 18.5 yrs when she developed renal failure. I was tormented trying to make the right choice. I had the talk with her also. Once I made the appt with the Vet she was like a pup again bounding about and I was afraid I’d made the wrong decision. My Vet said bring her in an let me examine her. The moment we entered her office she said if not today you’ll be back within two months or so, in the dead of winter and she will be worse. This is the same Vet Ruby had since birth. My Vet whom I trust and who’s advice and guidance helped her make it to those glorious 18.5 yrs. She also said that once we have made the decision our animals know and they often muster up all of the strength they can to make “us” happy and to remember them as healthy as possible.
When the time comes Ming it’s going to SUCK no matter what. This is your baby, your sweetheart, your love. Enjoy this time with her as I know you are and remember we are all here for you and praying Sammy Diva isn’t going anywhere yet….Hugs
Sending so much love to both of you….two sweet, beautiful souls.
Thank you Harmony, I just want to keep celebrating while she is still here in her physical body. I promised her I would do right by her.
Thank you April for sharing your story. You are right it does suck. I tell myself what I tell all my clients yet the pain is still there, in my throat.. Hugs for Ruby. I have found an in home Vet .. at least while I’m still feeling okay.
I appreciate the thoughts.
Thank you Laura. Much appreciated from us both.
Ming, I so know what you are going through and commend you for doing the right thing by honoring Sammy’s choices. So often pets lives are extended where quality of life does not exist.
Abraham tells us that, despite how hard it is for humans, animals view life differently and would rather throw off the old body and come back in a fresh healthy one. To do that they need humans to assist in that process. When it’s Sammy’s time, you’ll know for sure, and then you’ll still feel her around you energetically (just like how Mocha now helps you with Reiki, Sammy will be right there with you)!
Many blessings to you both on this journey!
Nancy
Thank you Nancy. Thank you for the reminder as well and I totally agree!!!! I keep telling myself what I tell my own clients. I know Sammy will be there beside me always.
Right now I’m enjoying the smell of her fur, the softness .. and hugging her… I appreciate your comments very much! You’re right I still see Mochi!
Love you and Sammy D, you are both amazing, loving and spiritual beings who make this world a joy to live in. I know these times are the most challenging, and I know that the both of you will go through them with dignity, grace and most of all love, but you will not go through this alone.
Thank you Coryelle. Dignity and grace is what I promised her. Thank you for your continued support.
I been thinking about you a bunch lately. Now I know why! Prayers for you and Sammy Diva.
Thanks Pete!
Ming, I send big love and hugs to you and Sammy Diva. Reading of your long, tender love relationship has swelled my heart to what feels like its fullest capacity.
There’s so much comfort offered here already, but may I add that after I’ve made that difficult decision for my fur babies, I’ve found sweet comfort in the act of creating and entering a warm luminescent bubble, calling them to me, then spending time stroking their fur and hearing their earthly sounds. They always join me in a healthy, young, vibrant body and it’s easy to sense their relief and renewal of energy and playfulness.
When the time is right, Ming, know that your relationship with Sammy may look different in the physical, but the tenderness and warmth of communication will be just as deep and satisfying. Sending love to this timeless relationship you and Sammy Diva will always share.
Brenda, what sweet words, thank you so much. I am glad to hear that from your personal experience. I have done this for my cat a few years ago but this relationship with Sammy Diva feels so different to me. Perhaps its because she has been dependent on me for so long. I appreciate your words.
Hello Ming,
I wish there were words to soothe you sadness. As with so many others, I too, have felt what you are feeling but in my family we have always believed that our babies can come back us in a new body that is young and vital. All you need do is to ask them to return and the wonderful universe finds a way to bring you two together. I have seen it happen in my family often.
