Dog’s Cancerous Tumor

/

Vic from Apex, NC, asked:

Hi Julie,

I have a very sick pet named Miles who is dear to me and has a cancerous tumor.

I’m trying to save him and feel very conflicted. I’m very, very, upset and don’t have the clarity needed to deal with this situation.

Time is of the essence so I appreciate any guidance you can offer me even if it means I send him to Heaven.

I don’t know what to do and don’t want to make the wrong decision. My friend told me that you could assist me.

Please help Julie.

Warm regards,

Vic

Hi Vic,

So sorry to hear about Miles.

To get some guidance for you, I first energetically connected to you and then from you to Miles.

At the end of life, humans’ and animals’ spirits exit the top of the head and stay attached in a bubble configuration. Looks like a speech bubble.

Energetic healing only happens when the spirit is inside the body. At this moment, Miles’ spirit is in his body which means he isn’t dying.

With that in mind, I asked Miles the following questions:

Are you ready to go? He said, “Not quite yet”.

Are you in pain? He said, “At times, but it isn’t unbearable”.

Do you want to be euthanized? He said “Eventually”.

Lastly, I asked Miles how he’d let you know when he wanted to go to Heaven. He replied, “When I stop eating and drinking and sleep most of the time.”

Miles also told me he did not want cancer treatment.

Hope this information helps you enjoy the time you have left with your beloved pet.

Brooke from Lawrence, MA, asked:

Hi Julie,

After losing my father on November 15th, 2022, I started searching, learning, listening, and trying to get a better understanding of things from a spiritual level. This has brought me to find you on a podcast with Dr. Amy Robbins, buy your Angelic Attendants book, and listen to your podcast.

I plan on calling on Thursdays to try to get a few minutes with you to ask about my father.

In the meantime, I’m wondering if you’ve witnessed a passing animal’s transition? Is it the same as humans? Are they surrounded by angels, and perhaps animal and human spirits?

Thanks so much for taking the time to read this. I look forward to hearing from you!

Light and love,

Brooke

Hi Brooke,

My sincere condolences on the loss of your father. I hope you found some comfort from reading my book.

As for the spiritual side of an animal’s passing, yes, I have witnessed many, including my own pets’ transitions.

It’s been my experience that like humans, an animal’s spirit exits the body through the top of the head and will stay attached during the dying process. That’s where the similarities end.

To date, I haven’t witnessed an animal being surrounded by other animal spirits, angels, or human spirits. That doesn’t mean they aren’t with those beings once they’ve transitioned, just that I don’t see it during the actively dying phase.

It’s interesting to note, however, there are many examples of animals knowing when an animal or human in their midst is dying.

For example, wild horses come to say goodbye to a dying horse in their herd, and there are many stories about elephants walking long distances in a sort of funeral procession to pay their respects to a human friend who died.

The best news however, is, our deceased pets’ spirits are always around us and we can communicate with them whenever we like.

Thanks for your question.

Bella

Krissy from Midland, MI, asked:

Hi Julie,

My question has to do with a horrible accident that happened the other night.

My dogs and I have been staying with my son while my house is being repaired after a fire. He has an electric fence to keep the dogs contained.

I had been training my dog Bella with a leash and she was doing great. So, I decided to take her let her off the leash because I thought she was ready. Unfortunately, Bella ran through the fence, was hit by a car, and died.

My heart is completely broken. The guilt I feel in knowing I am responsible and the sound of listening to my son screaming as he was chasing her down the road until I heard the crash is unbearable.

I was hoping you could tell me if Bella is okay? Did she suffer?  Do my other dogs miss her? Does she forgive me for not protecting her? Should I stop using the electric collar for my son’s dog Maggie? And most importantly, is there anything I can do to help my son? He puts on a brace face, but I know he’s feeling terrible and he can’t get the image out of his head. I don’t expect you to answer all of these questions, but if you could choose what you think would be most helpful it would be great.

I plan on scheduling a one on one as soon as I’m able.

Oh Krissy,

I am so sorry about Bella and can only imagine the grief you’re experiencing.

In order to get some answers for you, I connected with you and through you with Bella. Here’s what she said:

– First, Bella is in non-physical (spirit) form and is fabulous!

– Bella doesn’t want you to be sad because it was her decision when and how she died.

– Bella chose that way because it was instant and painless. She did not suffer.

– Bella said she didn’t want to hold you down and believed it was best for you to be flexible without having to care for her.

– Bella thinks it’s a good idea to continue to use the electric fence with your son’s dog Maggie. She just wants you to turn up the electric shock feature to deter her from leaving the yard.

– Regarding your son, Bella wants you to tell him that all animals (including humans) decide when and how they die. It’s all part of the master plan. She also wants you both to watch the movie “A Dog’s Purpose”. She believes the story/movie will comfort you.

– And lastly, Bella wants you to know she’s always around you. She also said if you think you hear her, you’re right. It’s how she lets you know she’s nearby.

Chihuahua Mom

Amy from Lakeland, FL, asked:

Hi Julie,

I love listening to your podcast and wanted to ask you about my beautiful Chihuahua pup Lola.

Last year I lost my beloved Chihuahua named Tink. I had her 9 wonderful years and I felt so sad when she passed. About a month later I got Lola (another Chihuahua) to mend my heart. I felt like this beautiful spirit picked me and she has definitely helped me heal.

My Lola is the sweetest Chihuahua ever. She reminds me so much of Tink. I have been thinking about breeding her. Depending on their size, Chihuahuas can be hard to breed. I know people say you should adopt, but she has been mothering this little stuffed animal and she is just too cute with it. I found a breeder who has a stud that would be a perfect size for her. But I definitely do not want to hurt or jeopardize my baby. I like the idea of breading her only for her to get to keep one of her babies as a companion for both of us and my children would get to help raise some pups. I have wanted 2 Chihuahuas for so long and wish I would have gotten another when Tink was alive.

I have tried to ask if it’s in Lola’s best interest to breed her or if I should just get her a companion instead. Can you help? I would love her to have a baby and then have her spayed.

Can you please scan her and tell me what you get as far as breeding her or her wanting a companion? I just don’t want anything to happen to her. Thanks!

Hi Amy,

I love that you enjoy listening to my show. Thanks for your kind comments.

Regarding Lola becoming a mother, I first connected to you and then from you to her. You’re right, she is really cute.

Based on what she told me, I believe she will be just fine if you breed her with the daddy dog you’ve chosen. And, I believe she’ll also do just fine delivering her litter and love for you to keep one if you decide to.

Furthermore, I also get it’ll be a great experience for you and your kids as well.

So, my advice is to “go for it”!

And one more thing, Tink’s spirit is always around you and will be for the rest of your life. If you pay close attention and stay open to it, you may occasionally hear her or feel her presence. When that happens, Tink’s just letting you know she’s around.

Thanks for your question.

Crazy Cat

Ally from North East, PA, asked:

Hi Miss Julie,

Why does my cat scratch my arms and not stop when I tell her no?

I know she is playing but she is a very aggressive player and it scares my friends away.

I also have terrible scars that bleed on my arms from it. Can you help me resolve this issue?  

Thank you!

Hi Ally,

You’re right, your cat is just playing with you.

In order to get some information, I first connected with you and then from you to your cat.

She told me she learned to play that way as a tiny kitten. She thinks it’s all part of the game when you tell her to stop.

Have you ever noticed how your cat seems out of sorts when you’re angry or stressed? Pets and people for that matter, pick up on our energy and emulate us. It’s important to tell pets and humans what we WANT them to do. Asking them not to do something just reinforces the undesirable behavior. For example, if I said don’t think of the red elephant. What would you immediately do? You’d think of a red elephant!

So, in order to foster a feline behavior change, do your best to stay calm around her. Talk to your cat in a soft voice while you gently rub her. She showed me a scene of you petting her in long strokes from the top of her head, down her back and up her tail. This had a calming effect on her and made her relax.

And remember, you can always resort to putting her in a cat carrier if she won’t calm down. That may be a good option when your friends are there and/or until she learns her cat manners.

Hope this strategy helps.

P.S. She adores you!

Dog Hates Car Rides

/

Natalie Baker from MINNETONKA, MN, asked:

Hi Julie,

I have a 9 month-old Samoyed named Winnie and I’m wondering if you have any insight into why my dog HATES car rides? It’s very unusual for a dog to hate them this badly.

I have tried putting her in a kennel to make her feel safer but that was worse than just having her seat-belted in.

When it’s just us, she sits in the front seat but is still very anxious. She pants, barks (a lot), and won’t sit still.

On the way home she is usually much calmer and will sleep only if she is very tired.

I have figured out she really doesn’t like when there is a speed change, my blinker is on, or when we turn.

When I first got her I tried having her sit in my lap which didn’t help, the kennel hasn’t worked, and when she is in the seat belt it’s a little better but not much. It makes taking drives awful.

What do you think? Thanks!!

Hi Natalie,

In order to get some answers for you, I connected to you and from you to Winnie. I could see and communicate with her. She is gorgeous and has a cute personality.

You’re right, she absolutely hates car rides for a number of reasons.

First, and most importantly, she said “I have A LOT of hair” and “it’s so hot in the car”. She told me she feels nauseous from the heat, motion sickness, and the smell of the car air freshener you’re using. In addition, she said her hearing is way more sensitive than yours so when the turn signal is clicking, it’s almost painful for her. Google says, “The frequencies that dogs hear are much higher and lower than what humans can hear. Dogs hear a frequency range of 40 to 60,000 Hz while a human range is between 20 and 20,000 Hz. Because of this, dogs have a difficult time with very loud noises”.

As for when the car turns and accelerates, Winnie mentioned it contributes to her nausea. She told me she does her best to keep from vomiting all over the inside of your car.

Winnie also said, “It’s unnatural for dogs to ride in cars” and “I prefer going for a walk”.

Alas, I did ask her what you could do to make her more comfortable when it was essential for her to travel via car. Here were her suggestions:

– Let her sit in the front seat so she can look out the windshield. It’ll help with motion sickness.

– Turn the air conditioning on full blast at the lowest temperature possible and point all vents towards her. It’ll help keep her cool.

– Remove the air freshener scent. She said it’s awful and the smell makes her nauseous.

– Lastly, Winnie suggested that if you have to take her on a long trip, to get motion sickness medicine from the vet and give it to her. (My family had a white German shepherd when I was growing up who got car sick for all 15 years of her life. We had to give her Doggie Dramamine whenever we needed to take her anywhere by car.)

Winnie told me she loves you, loves her home, and loves going for walks with you. Oh and … she’d like a few more treats!

Hope this information helps.

Ricky & Ralphie

/

Corey from The Bronx, New York, asked:

Hi Julie,

I got two kittens about 12 years ago. I was looking for one cat but they were holding each other so tightly that I got them both. The Petco rescue person told me they were brothers.

Well, one of the most painful things I ever had to do was to have one of my cats (Ralphie) cremated last August.

He developed diabetes and doctors said he would have deteriorated and it would have been difficult to take care of him.

My question is about his brother Ricky who never showed any sadness about the event. He has not looked for his brother or anything.

I was just wondering what he understands about the situation?

Also, I wondered if Ralphie (the cat that passed) is still around and knows that he was loved dearly.

Thank you!!

Hi Corey,

What a great question.

The reason Ricky isn’t missing Ralphie is because Ralphie is still there, only now, he’s transitioned into spirit form.

Animals and especially small children (under the age of 4) are very intuitive. They can sense spirits, both human and animal, when we mortals are unable to. Cats in particular are known to be very psychic.

I’ve lost count of the number of times a cat owner has told me about a situation where all of a sudden their animal gets agitated without a viable cause. And then there are the stories about a cat slowly turning its head from side to side like it’s watching someone walk across the room when no one is visible. In that scenario, the cat is sensing a spirit.

Every pet owner acknowledges how much we learn from our animals. This is a case in point. When a loved one or a beloved pet dies, they remain with us, just in spirit form.

And, Ralphie did know he was deeply loved.

Thanks for your question.

Blessings,

Julie

Is There A Dog Heaven

/

Katy from Kansas City, KS, asked:

Hi Julie,

I’m fascinated by your 12 Phases of Transition. I found the concept and your graphics incredibly comforting when my father was making his transition last year.

I loved the idea of his parents and my mother coming to greet him and help him to the other side, and of his guardian angels carrying him off to Heaven.

Just last week, we lost our pet dog. It was an incredibly sad experience and I can’t stop thinking about him and missing him.

Does something similar happen when an animal dies? 

Do other animal spirits help a dying animal’s transition?

Do you have any idea what happens on the other side for pets?

Thanks for any illumination you can share about this.

Katy

 

Hi Katy,

What a great question, one I hadn’t ever been asked before.

When doing an instant replay on my dog’s death, (she was also named Katie), I saw her spirit bubble (which was attached to the top of her head), disengage from her body and be escorted by two dog spirits to Heaven. The dog spirits looked like they were the same mix of German Shepherd and Keeshond as my Katie.

At first I thought what I was seeing couldn’t be right, so I did additional instant replays on the dogs my family had when I was a child. They included a white German Shepherd, a Chow mix, and a Dachshund. Then I did an instant replay on your dog. In all cases, each dog’s spirit was escorted up and to the right (Heaven) by two spirits of dogs from the same breed. Our white German Shepherd Frosty, was escorted on one side by the spirit of a white German Shepherd and on the other side, by the spirit of a black and brown German Shepherd. Your dog was escorted by two Heinz 57-mix dog spirits and so on.

Since I wasn’t yet convinced this is what really happens, I asked my spirit guide Pope Clement VI for confirmation. He was laughing when he appeared and assured me what I was seeing was indeed what happens when a dog dies.

He went on to tell me upon their death, dogs are escorted by dog spirits through the barrier dividing our reality and Heaven. There are several similarities (12 Phases of Transition) to what happens to humans at the time of their deaths.

Clement told me dogs’ spirits exist in a sort of perpetual dog park where they run, play, and have unlimited fun. He also mentioned dogs’ spirits can be and usually are in more than one place at a time. So, they can be in Heaven AND be with us.

Please know your beloved late dog is with you in spirit and always will be.

Blessings,

Julie

Our Dog

Amanda from New Orleans, LA, asked:

“What would Katie (our family dog) have told us if she could talk?”

Hi Amanda,

Your dog Katie told me she used to love it when you’d hold one of her toys high up in the air and let her jump for it before throwing it in a game of “go fetch”. Katie showed me she could jump really high. In addition, Katie wanted you to know that no matter where you are, she is always around you and your family members (in spirit form), and that she always will be.

Blessings, Julie
