If you like myself, feel that you have a soul connection with your fur baby, this is for you.

We are all energetic beings. Everything and each one of us is made up of energy. People and animals alike have four different bodies of energy: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.

Our bodies have energy beyond the physical component and this amazing energy flows though each and every one of us, including animals. Animals are much more sensitive to energy than we as humans are. They feel so innately without any interference, such as ego.

Through our spiritual bodies, i.e., our energy, we are all connected to each other and to our pets. This is seen when one of our pets mirrors what we are feeling or experiencing and they have a mood shift. If we are sad, they become sad. If we are stressed, they become stressed. This is because the energetic connection that we share with our fur babies is so intense. Our lives intertwine and we are connected to each other’s soul.

The closer you are to your pet, the more likely it is that they will absorb your energy and be attuned to any emotion you are experiencing. Human emotions are contagious to their pets. This ability only strengthens our bond with them.

Just like us, animals have souls. When we are connected and joined into each other’s lives, our souls begin a journey together. Many believe that we have been in past lives with our fur baby and that we will be together again future lives. The bond cannot ever be broken. It is one reunion after another. We always find our way back to each other.

Animals play many roles in our lives. They can be our best friend, our confidant, our mentor, even our soul mate. Our fur babies are one of life’s most precious gifts. We give each other unconditional love, an unending spiritual connection, and we are always learning from each other.

I was blessed to have Darci, my Maltese as my very first soul dog. I was blessed to have her in my life for over 15 years. I was blessed to have a soul connection with Bentley, a dog I rescued and had in my life for 11 years. I am now blessed to have a soul connection with Laci, who just turned three in June. Laci was born four days after Darci passed away and you can guess how I feel about that.

The journey with our fur babies won’t always be positive and it won’t always be easy. There will be frustrations and undoubtedly, there will be loss. For the time that you are blessed with your soul fur baby, you will experience more joy than you could ever imagine. They are a bundle of immense love and to experience this beautiful connection is truly a gift.

Ever since I could remember, I have always loved dogs. I remember sitting in my parents’ room when I was 4 years old dialing random numbers and asking complete strangers if they had a dog. I think I may have been just a bit fascinated with them.

I never had a dog growing up. As much as my father absolutely loved them, my mother did not. Unfortunately, she won that argument. She pretty much won all of them. But that’s a whole different blog!

No sooner than Rich and I closed on our first home, I found Annie. She was a Golden Retriever and lived to the ripe old age of 16 1/2!

We also had the pleasure of loving our Molly (another Golden Retriever), who lived to be 12.

Annie is on the left, Molly on the right.

Our dogs that we now blessed with are Darci, our Maltese who is 10 years old, Oliver, our Golden Retriever who is 6 1/2 years old, Teddy, our Morkie who is 3 1/2 years old and Bentley, our Border Collie/Black Lab who is 7 years old. Bentley is our rescue dog.

In the summer of 2011, my little guy Joshua, had an ear infection. On the way back from the doctor, he was quite sad that he wasn’t able to go swimming with his brother and his dad. Right before we got home I saw a sign for a pet adoption. I asked Joshua, very innocently, if he wanted to go look at the puppies knowing this would bring a smile to his face. Mission accomplished!

When we walked up to the storefront and saw all of the rescue dogs needing homes, I was immediately heartbroken. To hear about them is one thing, but to see them all is another.

When I knelt down to pet a gorgeous Golden Retriever mix, another dog came up to my right side and put his head on my shoulder and stared at me. There he was. Bentley. I then sat down and he crawled into my lap. How could I possibly turn away from this sweet precious soul who obviously craved love and needed a home so desperately? His first few years may not have been ideal but from the moment that boy looked at me, everything for him changed.

Rescue dogs are amazing. They KNOW. They are deeply grateful and make sure they let you know it every moment of every day.

Whether they are rescue dogs or not, dogs in general are amazing blessings. Whether we rescue them our not, I truly believe every dog blessed with a loving and safe home have been rescued. And not only do we rescue them, but in a way, they rescue us too.
