About 5 years ago my dog died at 15. It came out of nowhere. There were no major signs, anything very little that I was noticing couldn't be explained, he happily played fetch untill the day before his death. I had him since he was a pup. He was my everything, I would "joke" that he was my soulmate. We were inseperable. A couple weeks before his death, every now and then I would have a weird dream. Not of him dying, but of us getting seperated somehow and me screaming out for him and trying to get to him and then I would wake up. I thought it was just my fear of losing him because he was getting older.
One morning something was just off with him. I called the vet and since his only "real" sign was discharge of the eye, we(even me) assumed it was just an eye infection although that never stopped him from playing before. That night, huge change. Vomiting, dry heaving, diahreah and then hecollapsed flat on his side while peeing. We rushed him to the ER and they couldn't save him. But that night when the symptom started, I litteraly felt him pulling away. I didn't feel it when he actually did pass, at least I don't think I did. Maybe because it wasn't natural, he was under anesteisa from the ER trying to fix it, they realized they couldn't so instead of waking him to suffer they Euthanized/Put him to sleep.
Since then, when I've had other pets die, I feel it AS they die. Actually die, NOT as they're dieing.
Today one of my jirds(rodents) died. No idea why. He was in real bad shape for about 3 days. After trying to *save* him, and syringe feeding, he had ups and downs. He really did look good at one point. On the fourth day he just looked soo pathetic barely hanging on. I made a comment to someone that if he's not going to make it, I just wish he would die already rather than suffer..
Within 10 minutes of saying that, I got that *death feeling* and I just knew it. I got right up and checked on him and sure enough he was gone. The feeling was just a quick, weird, cold pull of energy. Cold and chilling but from deep within, nothing like a breeze or a chill from an open window.
So..weird? Out of all things I could "sense", why something like this? Other people see ghosts, I actually *feel* it. What the?

This is a reply to # 411,434Not weird at all! It just shows that you are very sensitive and that you have a strong connection to your pets. Why should this be weird?...animals will frequently go off and hide before they die, so why shouldn't someone with sensitivity to energies 'feel' when they die?
Some people have the ability to 'see' when a person dies. Not because of their physical signs, but they see a subtle light (often golden) leave the person just as they die. Other people are more kinesthetic and 'feel' things.
I am more like you. I 'felt' my father die when he was several hundred miles away. He had been sick for a long time and we knew that it was going to happen, but I actually felt it happen...I was in the shower getting ready to go somewhere and I just knew. Sure enough, when I returned home there was a message from my step-mother on the phone and he had died at precisely the time that I had been in the shower.
If you think of it as a 'negative' ability, consider this...what if death isn't what we think it to be? What if this is the dying's way of making a final connection with you as they depart their physical form? What if there is something mysteriously wonderous on the other side, and if only we recognized this, we could feel joy and celebration in the passing instead of all the painful emotions associated with death?
Just some thoughts to ponder...
But you are definitely not weird, nor are you alone.

This is a reply to # 411,434I have had much closer relathionships with dogs than withe people. Many years ago, there was one, Casey, who was hit by a car. We were very close. I wrote about this in my book in great deatail and if you send me your email address, I will send it to you.
In a nutshell, I came home from work and he was acting very strange. It was as if he were a mirage rather than the real thing. I gave him his dinner and he settled down.
Late that night, I let him and my two roomates dogs our before bed. We lived way out in the middle of nowhere on a cul de sac, so we let them out alone often. It was 2 am or so. Very quite. I laid down in bed to read until they came back, and suddenly I felt very ill. I went into the bathroom and sat by the tiolet in case I had to throw up. The world spun around me for a few minutes and then I was OK. But I had an urgent need to know where Casey was. I ran out to the front of the house and called him, but my voice barely left my mouth. I ran out into the street and saw a man leaning over something in the road. It was my Casey. He had been hit in the head by a car, and while it did not leave a huge wound, he was gone. I had experienced his death with him.
A few days later, I was reading on my bed as usually did in the evening with Casey. It was a waterbed. He always had a habit of getting up and jumping over me to the other side now and then, which would make the bed undulate in a certain way. I was lying there that night, perfectly still, and the bed suddenly moved just as it would have if he had been there. Obvioulsy, he was.

This is a reply to # 411,442about 10 years ago, I started having dreams of my grandfather being cut with knives. Those were chaotic dreams, thieves or criminals trying to harm my grandmother.
I called my mother (she was back in Russia, while I was studing in US) and asked her if everything was ok with my grandmother. She reluctantly told me that grandma had cancer and she didn't want to tell me about it for a while. I was practically raised by my grandmother.
She told me that they took grandma to the emergency, they found cancer everywhere in her intestines, etc. They had to cut a lot of it out. They gave her a week to live.
But she kept on living (3 more months), relatives were giving her natural things.
I began visiting my grandmother in my dreams, seeing her in one particular room a certain way. My mother freaked out when I told her where my grandmother was laying, and other details. In my dreams, my grandma was showing me her tube (coming from her side), etc.
One night in my dream I came to see my grandmother, but her bad was empty, and there was a floating mask above where her feet would be...Mask didn't have eyes (just empty circles). Right away, I knew she died and I had peaceful feeling about it. My mother called me that morning and confirmed that grandmother died that night.

This is a reply to # 411,443Actually, whether you realize it or not, you have been practicing dream yoga. This is where you can be lucid in your dreams and go to places, hundreds or even thousands of miles away in the waking world, and listen to conversataions and actuallly see what is going on. Very common practice by Tibetian yogis. If you worked on this skill, which you seem to be a natural at, you could do it all the time.

This is a reply to # 411,442Hey Raymbo, your experience is pretty similar to mine. I have a question..
"In a nutshell, I came home from work and he was acting very strange. It was as if he were a mirage rather than the real thing."
Do you ever have any regrets thinking if you paid more attention and didn't let him out that night, it wouldn't have happened?
When my dog was acting a little weird a few days or so before, nothing I could quite put my finger on along with the dreams I've had. I kind of felt if I had been more proactive in making sure he was healthy and listened to my gut feeling.. It woudln't have happened..
On the other hand, especially NOW.. I feel it was just *that time* and nothing would've stopped it. Then apparently there was another pup with problems waiting for me and I found him 3 days later. Because of that dog's death and the new pup..Well, I probably woudln't have found my way to sites like Curezone if he didn't come with health issues. I wasn't ready for him to leave but this new pup I guess was waiting for me. But that's never happened with any of my other animals, so maybe it was just a coincidence.
Just..weirdness.
"A few days later, I was reading on my bed as usually did in the evening with Casey. It was a waterbed.

I've experienced that as well. Me and my dog would sleep side by side,back to back and his butt would hit my back just right and it would get warm. A couple months later I had to stay overnight in the hospital and was freezing to death because they sucked and their blankets were more like towels. I was lying really stiff because any movement I made I'd feel the cold again. Then all of a sudden I felt that exact spot in my back get warm and was finally able to go to sleep.

This is a reply to # 411,445I have regrets all the time. I NEVER let my dogs out by themselves now. I was just very young then and not so aware of how mortal we are.
My little Suki died 4 years ago and I am riddled by guilt about that....but that is another story.
They depend on us and our judgment so much. You could have two dogs, you know...

This is a reply to # 411,434I've had another jird die since this post.
I took it to the vet just because that vet was supposedly good with rodents. The stupid bitch injected him with valium to "relax" him which set him off into a seizure. I knew that would happen. She wouldn't listen to me and I obviously intimidated her. He died on the way home. I knew he was going to die, obviously by looking at him. But didn't really feel it when he died. I was also so pissed off at the vet and listening to the radio and on the phone bitching about her to my mother. Then I had an *urge* to look and yep he was gone.
So either my aggravation or the valium screwed that one up. I think I was too pissed off to feel anything. That feeling in the pit of my stomach was more about how she treated him.

This is a reply to # 411,446I have stories about vets you would not believe. They have no med-mal suits pending over them and they do what they please. Most rely on steriods. The use vaccinations and they make a fortune treating the side effects.
Whether you are human or not, it is best to be your own doctor and just go to them for diagnosis (ha ha) and emergencies.
