A Doggie Love Story
This is a beautiful sharing from Alicia Rocco about the love between 2 dogs and 2 people. It is also about the healing power of animals, how they can be conscious healers.
A DOGGIE LOVE STORY
December 23, 2009
Many of you knew Reba 
our female dashound who passed into Spirit on October 2, 2009. For many weeks after her death, Rocky our male dashound would stand at the entrance to the kitchen and bark at the rug on the floor in front of the refrigerator at the approximate hour her heart stopped and she passed into Spirit. This is where she would lay when she was home. No matter what you said or did, he would continue to bark for about an hour. I believe she came to visit him immediately upon her death and continued to do that for many weeks.
Starting in the 9th week after her death, I had a dream and she was barking and wanted to me to get up and pay attention to her. She had something to say. She said, “She and Rocky had come to an agreement.”
In that week, Rocky began having heath problems along with my husband Carl. I was concerned about both of them. One night as I sat up and held Rocky I started to fall asleep and he said to me, “do not be concerned I will stay until Dad goes.”
My first thought was Carl was going to pass into Spirit. Little did I know that meant Carl would be going to the hospital and Rocky would stay with me until Carl came home. On December 14, Carl went into the hospital and I went everyday and came home at night to stay with Rocky because he began having seizures. I remember on October 20 coming home early and spending the entire day holding Rocky. When I feel to sleep that night Reba came to me and said, “Do not be upset Mom but Rocky is shutting his organs down. We want to be together again. We have done all we can do for you and Dad and love you very much.”
On Monday, he was very sick and I took him to the Vet. They said that his kidneys were shutting down. Carl was discharged from the hospital that day. On Tuesday, Rocky had a very bad seizure and had brain damage. On Wednesday, he passed into Spirit.
The most interesting part of this story is Rocky was a birthday present to Carl in 1995. Reba came because she was the only one left in her litter that lived and they gave her to us and said if she lives, you can pay us something. I personally did not want another dog but on December 23, 1996, I brought her home at a little over 1 lb and gave her to Rocky after we took her to the Vet for fluid. We did not know whether she would live or die through the night. I did all I knew to do and put her in bed with Rocky and said, “Here Mommy has brought you a present.” Rocky immediately began at her nose and licked every inch of her body to the tip of her tail. Carl asked me what he was doing and I said it his way of doing hands on healing. On Christmas morning, they were up and playing as though she had never been sick. Until the day she passed Rocky watched over her.
On December 23, 1996, I gave Reba to Rocky. On December 23, 2009 I gave Rocky to Reba. They shared a life together and with us, but in the end they are still together.
Using tree essences with Rocky and Reba
I used Skin and Animal Restore on Rocky when Reba died. She died so quickly I didn’t have time to use anything except Animal Restore for a few days. In the end of Rocky’s life, I used Skin and Animal Whisper. I used Animal Whisper and Soul Clearing while working with Rocky. I felt Animal Whisper was to help me let go and Soul Clearing to help him to let go of me.
