Do You Believe?, In pet spirits? Options

[Brutus]

Do you? Or something of the like? Say a new pet you've gotten reminds you of a pet that has went to the bridge? Like maybe a reincarnation or something? Or maybe you've seen your pet in a glimpse somewhere, like maybe they are still there in your home?

Another forum I belong to (a miniature horse forum, I used to have mini horses) had a topic about this just a couple weeks ago...it was more along the lines of a reincarnation thread, but some posted about "seeing" their pets who have passed...like a glimpse in the hallway or something.

I have prayed for that you know, as I'm sure lots of you have. Just a sign...a glimpse...something.

Something happened a couple days after Brutus left us, and until today I really didn't make the connection...or maybe I'm just crazy..or hoping.

My husband is a deer hunter and he has one of those deer cams set up by his stand that takes pictures when something of motion walks in front of it. It is only like 50 yards from our house...we live in the boonies...But anyway, I think I saw Brutus on it...I mean it was a black dog...appeared to be a lab and it was walking away from the camera...it was just his bum, not his face. Brutus would always try to follow Doug's scent back there, he loved to go behind the barn....

We had Brutus euthanized on Monday, the 16th of this month...immediately after, we came home and got our other two dogs, Radar and Tanga and we went up to our other house we bought about a month ago, it is about 80 miles from our home. It is our weekend home and near a lake that we...especially Brutus...loved. Anyways, we got our other two boys and went "up north"...we spent the next two and half days in a daze...so sad and crying for Brutus...we came home on Thursday afternoon, we went to work, which was just awful. The next morning, my husband Doug, went out to see the pics on his deer cam...he brought the photo card in the house and loaded it on his computer. Low and behold, sometime on Thursday evening/night (can't remember the exact time)...there was a dog on it...it was a black lab I swear and it was walking away from the camera. I stared at that photo for a long time and thought...just coincidence (sp?)...but today, I've come to the conclusion that maybe it wasn't...maybe it was my pooh-man telling me he is ok and and he waited for us to come home before he actually left...making sure we were Ok? We don't have any close neighbors and we never see dogs out here..so just maybe???? It's possible isn't it?

I've never seen a spirit, human form but that doesn't mean it doesn't exsist...I mean I believe in God and I don't see him/her either, so it's certainly possible, right? That is if you believe in that kind of stuff. Why wouldn't a dog soul be as strong, if not stronger than a humans? It's possible. Would a dog soul be captured on camera??? I certainly don't know any of the answers to these questions...but right now I'm thinking that was my pooh-man, my soul dog Brutus.

The photo is on my husbands laptap and he is at work right now...I'm hoping he didn't delete it (I just sent him a text to not delete any of those photos)...if he didn't I will post the picture when he comes home tonight.

Do you have any stories to share...sightings, anything? Please share, I would love to hear them. It gives me hope, hope for what I don't know...but it's hope.

Hugs to all,
Brutus' Mom,
