Ghost Dog?

[BarbK]

Well if you are crazy then we are to. I have had similar experiences. One that sticks out is with my old wolf/dog Dakota. She came to me the last time around Christmas 08 before that she would come around regularly. The animals would always greet her. Now I am sure why she stopped coming. My current dog was born Jan 1st and I always want to call him Dakota. He has some of the same quirks as Dakota did. Even though his name is Apollo I still occasionally slip up and call him Dakota. He aways comes to it. He has never responded to any other names but Dakota and Apollo.

Sorry didn't mean to hijack the thread. I agree if you didn't recognize the dog that it is a spirit dog.

Oh, I do belive you!! Seems like a freindly dog spirit has adopted you. Us animal folk have a special bond with our critters. It is a terrible loss when one of my pets die, but I see them around, out of the corner of my eye. When my Snowball dissapeared for 2 days in the middle of a frozen January, everyone thought she was gone. Dead, eaten by wolves most likely. I "knew" she wasn't gone, because I couldn't feel that unseen presence. I looked for her every day after work for two days. She showed up on our porch the 3rd night, cold, dirty, thirsty, but very alive. I knew she'd return. Not crazy...yet, as far as I know. Maybe nobody told us?

If she's not scared, it wasn't a hellhound, grim, or anything else like that.

The best reference for Animal Totems and Spirit Guides (there is a difference) is Ted Andrews. He literally "wrote the book" on it. Here is a link to a site that quotes directly from his books. http://www.sayahda.com/cycle.htm

This is one that I use a lot for teaching: http://www.animalspirits.com/ I think they are really similar. This is just an older site that was up before the other one.

Definitely sounds like either a Totem or Spirit Guide or possibly a past pet. Did you have your dog from puppyhood? Could it be her mom or a past friend of your dog? You said it looked like her, kind of.

I've not seen a ghost in person, but my old dog Speckles came to me in dreams.

Shortly after we moved in our first house in July 2008, we got a puppy, which is the same doggy in my siggy. Not long after that I started dreaming about my old dog, Speckles, who had gone to live out her retirement with my grandma while I was in highschool/college and couldn't have a dog.
Speckles was at my wedding in May 2006 but she wasn't doing real well. She was always half blind anyway, but you could tell she was getting old.
I dreamed about her for 3 nights straight. In my dreams she had become younger again, although she retained all of her accumulated knowledge/wisdom. She was happy, living with ME and running around with me.
The family met at a restraunt for my grandma's birthday, and I just quietly asked her how Speckles was doing. She told me that they had to have Speckles put to sleep because of her age/ailments. I knew she was right, because last time I'd seen Speckles I knew she was getting on up there.
I never dreamed about Speckles anymore.

I guess she just had to let me know that she was happy again in a body that didn't have all the aches of old age.

At our place we have 2 nice ghosts. One we call The Cowboy we think is the man who built our house - this used to be a horse ranch. He doesn't do much, but he says "Hello!" to people. Usually to new people or visitors. (We have lots of witnesses, thank goodness)

The other we think is a cat or small dog. First, all our dogs hate one particular hallway. One day as I was playing with my brother's puppy, I was puppy - proofing, shutting doors, picking things up. For some reason my mom had this ball of yarn in the hall closet which doesn't always stay shut and things fall out of it. I shut the hall door, but noticed that some of the yarn was sticking out on my side of the door. Knowing that the puppy would start playing with that, i reached down and tried to fling the yard back under the door into the hallway. I got about half of it to go onto the other side, but not all. So I started to reach down to grab it so I could throw it the rest of the way when something started drawing the string under the door from the other side very slowly. It scared the heck out of me!

I lost my Doberman within a week after she started to lose her appetite. I took her to the vet the next day (she was a pig normally) and we did all the lab work they recommended and they couldn't find anything abnormal. Although she was ten years old she was super fit and had always had excellent health everyone was shocked when we told them her age. We gave her medication for an upset stomach and she only got worse over the next few days so we brought her to the emergency hospital on a Sunday. They took more tests and found that her lungs were full of her own platelets from an acute, incurable immune disorder. No one could comfort me--even my husband couldn't stop me from crying. We spent a little while with her alone before we had it done in the veterinarian's exam room and she sat in front of me and gave me a quick kiss with a soulful look. Later that night I felt her--really felt her. For several days she was always next to me--just as she was when alive. Bailey was my "velcro" dog and lived to be with me. I never did "see" her--just knew she was there. So I really believe it is a dog's spirit--wonder whose dog?

Yes, there are such things! Horses too.

I had a big black qh mare. I bought her when she was 3 and she passed away at age 34. She was the only black horse I have ever owned. For 3 days after she died all of us--my SO, myself, and the 3 guys who worked for me--saw her grazing out in our main pasture. Twice I tried to walk up to her, only to have her "melt" away. On the 3rd night, I dreamed she was grazing in a high mountain pasture near Pikes Peak (we used to camp there summers). The next day she was not out in my pasture anymore. I am absolutely certain that for those 3 days she was out in that pasture grazing with her daughter, her grandson, and her 2 granddaughters. Those first three nights they all slept on her grave but after I had that dream, they stopped. It was like they were keeping her company til she found her way .... And I have seen her since. Every time one of our old horses dies, it's like she comes to lead them home or something.
