When I took the 7th puppy in my hands, she was flailing her arms like someone who was really excited. I tried it with about six puppies and they all either turned their nose away or paid no interest. So, I put some on my wrist and put it in front of each pup’s nose as I picked them up. Rina liked essential oils and frankincense was her favorite. But, I also wondered if a week old puppy would know who I was. I was eager to see if Rina’s spirit was in this litter. Most of the books I read on reincarnation said you will know when your pet finds you again. The following Friday, I went to see the puppies who were now a week old. As synchronicity would have it, there was a harvest moon that evening. The golden/lab litter was born on Friday, September 16. Making a change in our perspective can help us see what we have gained… not what we’ve lost.

They want to give you signs, but sometimes they can’t penetrate the thick wall of grief. But, if your despair is so intense, it can create a barrier between you and your treasured pet. If we have an open mind, spend time in the moment and pay attention to details, the signs are always there (scroll down for some of the signs I received). Although it wasn’t a physical one, it was probably stronger than it had ever been. I felt tremendously blessed to continue my relationship with her. I grieved pretty hard for the first week, but her daily signs gave me so much comfort. She was showing me her spirit was still here through the fries!

The last memory of Rina before she went to the hospital was her eating a couple french fries that my neighbor gave her. Seems I followed the car ahead of me at the second window and forgot to stop. I paid at the first window, but when I got home, I was like “where are my fries”. On the way home from the hospital that last day, I went through the drive through at McDonalds and ordered a medium fries.
