    So so so grateful for your videos Danielle. You nail every single word that you speak. God bless you . My baby girl Princess is so powerful In Ways I never knew possible. You nail every detail and I thank you from the bottom of my heart,I never had bigger confirmation of it all in my life.., she sends me signs 3 times a day and I'm mind blown everytime it's amazing what she can do. I love my 15 year old cat so much .. I was 17 when I got her and I am now 30 I needed these so bad as I had to euthenize her 4 days ago and my heart has never been so heavy...my goodness did she ever chose me and you make it very clear Danielle that what I'm seeing feeling thinking are very very real. Answered every single question I had within 4 days .. ... Still I struggle to make it through the day without my girl ... 🙏

    My sweet dog is scheduled to go tomorrow. He’s no longer walking and just sleeps all day. He started crying here and there from pain today and I can see in his eyes he’s ready. My heart is breaking. I feel so incredibly sad yet grateful. I have had my sweet baby for almost 19 years & he was with me through every traumatic experience and held on until I was in a safe happy place in my life. I’m so incredibly grateful for my dog Bear. He showed me love loyalty and how to be a good mom. I noticed him slowly age after my son was born, I left an abusive relationship and started over wnd my dog got me through it all. He waited until I was happy wnd safe to really let go. I love him so so much. Thank you for your videos.

      I could have written every word of your post about my 19 year old cat, Signal, who just passed. It’s what was going through my head all week. The only difference is he was my 5 year old son’s first pet, and Signal grew old as my son left the house. Every other experience…identical, as far as the words you wrote (all pain is individual, I know). We truly are all connected. So sorry for your loss. I don’t know how I would have survived the abuse, and divorce, stalking, etc. without my beloved, loyal cat!

      @@sciencenotstigma9534 Sept 10 made it a year since I had to put bear down. My toddler still asks about him sometimes. I cry still about once a month. It doesn’t get less painful but the time helps me to cope better. I miss my dog every day. He showed me so much patience and understanding. We’re so blessed to be able to have these animals come into our lives to help teach us lessons about ourselves & be a support system/best friend. I’m truly grateful for everyday he was with me & I too feel I couldn’t have made it without him. My little guardian angel . I’m so sorry for your loss. I like to think of my dog having the time of his life wherever he is waiting for me to one day join him again

      @@mandybergeron6874 I feel the same way about my kitty…he got me through to this point. I know I have to keep going, because of how badly he wanted me to be happy and healthy. Even when I don’t want to sleep without him, or get out of bed in the morning, I can do it for him. I think he struggled to hold onto life for so long because he wanted to make sure I was ok. I’m not making his life about me…you would have had to know this cat. He was a Burmese rescue runt (but the biggest personality of any pet I’ve had). He was devoted to me with every fiber of his being, which is supposed to be a breed trait, but many mixed breed cats and dogs are that way, too. I’m comfortable telling you, because I know you’ve had this kind of animal in your life. It’s all I can do to not drive across country and adopt a Burmese today! Yet, I know, intellectually, that it will never replace my cat. I will try to wait until I’m ready to bond with a new friend, without the expectation of instant closeness. I’m glad you are coping better. It must be hard to comfort a toddler who can’t possibly understand. My youngest was 5, before he lost a pet. Hope and healing to you! ❤️‍🩹

      I feel the same way. I was able to keep on top of my cat’s health when I was remote. When I returned to my job in person full time, I couldn’t do that anymore. I didn’t realize how bad the situation was and then I made the mistake of taking him to this local. vet who took emergencies. I wish I had called out from work that day and taken him into the city to get help, but I was concerned what my boss would say because it was a Friday. Now my Nicholas is gone and I still don’t know what really happened. I feel tremendous guilt.

I thought I went mad, was blaming myself for everything, even consulted my vet about this and he told me that everybody feels that guilt, because they don’t speak, they can’t tell us what’s wrong. But please know that you did everything you could! In time you will realise this but it’s such a difficult thing to go through right now. They can mean more to us than humans, they are family. When I lost my Peter thought I would never be the same again and yet here I am writing to you. Hoping to let you know that you are not alone in this feeling. And that they always stay connected with us! And they know How much we love them! 💞🐾

    Today morning I woke up to see my cat dead. She was suffering, I am happy that went away from the pain. I couldn't take her to the vet, everything is close due to coronavirus. She was unwell for two nights. I tried to take her home but she refused to come home and stayed outside. Maybe she wanted to die apart from us. I saw y #1 way pets communicate video. I had a dream tonight and that dream was so real:-
    I woke up by hearing my cats voice (actually my cat was so weak that she couldn't say anything in reality). I was in the place where I was sleeping and I ran to her. There she was meowing weakly, she weakly walked towards me and I walk towards her and petted her, gave her love. It was morning, so maybe she died in the morning?
    Getting her in my life was an awesome memory. She was a stray cat. It's been less than 2 months since I met her for the first time. She just came to die in our hands. I did some spiritual reading and it says that she was my guardian angel that came to visit for a short amount of time. She was someone from my past life who was do close with me. And in this life she is here to protect me, as my angel. I let her go but she will alwys be in my heart

    My boy Wyatt just crossed. Very sudden and unexpected. It’s like a part of my body is missing. All he had to do was look at me and it’s like I could hear his thoughts. Our connection was so storing. I so badly just need to hear or see him my grief is so heavy. I feel gutted. This boy literally never left my side every day. I am so sick. I just cannot stop crying. From the moment my eyes open to going to sleep my eyes are full of tears. I just stumbled upon your videos I wasn’t even looking up any like this. So weird. I rescued him, and only had one year with him. I feel like he was stolen from me. I actually adopted him because I had lost my other dog Binx I had rescued a year prior. He healed my heart from Binx. I only got a year with Binx as well. This is just not fair. I understand that adopting older dogs means we may not have them very long but a year with each is torture. It doesn’t make sense why I only got each of them for a year. I am just so sad. Too sad to even put into words. I knew the day he wouldn’t eat his favorite food that something was terribly off. Thank you for your videos. They are helping me. I only can hope and pray I get a sign or a visitation.

    My beloved dog brought me to your site…he passed one year ago.
    He was a rescue and had a very hard start in life.
    He survived cancer and was blind and his little sister would act like a guide dog for him.
    One evening when he was 17 he jumped onto my lap and licked my face. He then fell asleep and me and his sister lay with him on the sofa. His sister started howling and I realised he was dying at that moment. I cuddled him while his sister just licked his face. We had lit candles earlier and then they suddenly went out. I gave him permission to die and told him that he would always be with us. It was amongst one of the most peaceful and spiritual times I have experienced. I felt and saw his spirit go with the people I had asked to come and get him. He left as the pup we rescued. He often visits and I know my other little pup often sees him. He taught me so much more than I ever taught him. I feel so blessed in having his love for so long….

    I had my almost 20 year old dog put down last week. She hadnt stopped eating. She still got excited about going for walks. But she was a tiny dog with the tumor the size of a golf ball on her from leg and it was bleeding, and she was chewing it. So I put a cone around her head, and as she was nearly blind, the cone completely disoriented her. She was very frail and injured herself jumping off the bed to follow me and my vet son didnt want to put her through an operation to fix the damaged ligament at her age. So she would need to be carried up and down stairs and on and off the bed. I had to feed her cooked pumpkin everyday, otherwise she would have a lot of blood in her poos. I didnt know when the right time should be to let her go, but when all these things started accumulating , and she was almost 20 years old, I just thought I should do it now and now wait until she is obviously in pain.

    My dog had heart and lungs issues. I felt guilty to put him down but I cannot see him suffering either. My belief is that my dog was detaching from us. He was by himself. His eyes telling me, that he’s ready to leave. But I wasn’t. Finally I listen to my doctor and consider his health too. But I placed his ashes, paw and name print on his bed. His corner is still there. I felt he visits me time to time. I can smell him. I talk to him, regardless I cannot hear him back. My dog died in Feb 16th. Still grieving.

    Danielle, I have watched a lot of your videos over the last day or so. They have helped me understand a lot of the things that happened to me in the early morning hours of November 15th, 2023. I lost my sweet boy Max. My boy was full of life till the absolute very end. He was normal with energy and eating. Everything he did was exactly him. I let him out for a pee a half hour before he started to pass. My heart has been so so hurt the last few days but your videos have been an absolute blessing to me! I thank you so much for all of your videos! ❤
    Max lived till he was 16 years old. His birthday was in October. He left two friends of his behind. We are absolutely heartbroken. And days seem to drag on. Our emotions are all over the place. One day at a time though right. I’m so happy to know I’ll see him again one day. Till then I have his spirit with me and so many precious memories of the most amazing little 5 pound chihuahua . Our house is so quiet without him. Now I see he ruled the roost. His personality was so BIG when I say big he should have been a 200lb dog! Our bigger dog is now even doing things he never did before. Max was a king and still is!
    Thank you again from the bottom of my heart! ❤

    Thank you for helping to heal my shattered ❤️ broken heart. My beautiful pomeranian Sarg was a victim of someone yelling at me were i live. He was not doing perfectly but was stable. He went into cardiac arrest with several types of seizures. For 6 days i survived, gave him as much comfort and administred foods water natural approaches, for he had severe allergies to meds. I had kept hem healed from an enlarged heart claps trachea 4yrs ago. Even kidney 10yrs ago i healed. So when this happened i was warned about 2½ months ago intuitionally that he was need extra care, diet change ect. I was on it, but the incident was something i couldn't let him suffer through after 6days, and a vet visit that wasn't in his favor either. He was my medical support dog. I have Lupus and a TBI, at 65, all my siblings a relatives are passed. My 2 child live in other states, With minimal support. So' Sarg was my all, i had 😢 I feel him he reminds me of his presence, seek him and tell him that everything will be ok. To adjust, enjoy the separation of being through the vail, and not to worry mommy cry's. I hope he will be so happy. Even though, i tell him to stay close that i need him and that we will be together soon. Am crushed. Its so hard to move out of this zone if dispare with out his beautiful little pomeranian devoted love. When i had him put to sleep, (He looked at me feelings were like he was not ready to go!! )Truly, we had a telepathic relationship. He was so obedient. If i had held on longer to his health issues, and simptoms, it could of went either way. I dont know for sure. But it is what it is now. His precious time with me was extremely amazing. He was a public jacketed service animal, everyone loved Sarg. He was a pleaser. I just want to never lose him again when i get to the other side. Love you Daniel, you have helped me with this soo much!!😢 5 week's now

No barking at all. Drooling, sad looking. Very confused when he got up, legs were very wobbly. I put him next to me on the couch and I woke up and he was staring at me. I heard him around say i love you. After a few min these the breathing is stopping but his lower end is still rumbling then I saw his tongue out of his mouth and I knew he was gone. I miss him, I can’t believe he’s gone . He was fine two weeks ago.

I'm experiencing deep grief, like I had lost a child. This helped me a great deal. Thank you Danielle
    Yesterday Aug 5th, 2020 @ 10:30am I helped my old Best friend "Petey the Chihuahua" crossover via Vet, He was a foodie ( any people food he'd beg with his beautiful bulging eyes, loved his daily body massages and belly rubs and being brushed (medium long hair breed)and loved going for walks and sitting on the balcony barking at birds and anything he took the sight in.
    He also loved our late mid-night playtimes of fetch with his favorite squeaky toy and me praising him " You're such a good boy Petey!, I love you, Petey!" Good Boy!" his happy big jackal gremlin smile with tongue hanging out happy at me loving him when everybody in the house was asleep, this was "our" time together or so He thought and I could feel it too, we did it every night for 11 years.
    The early morning of August 5th, I had made a place for Petey in the kitchen, where he liked to lay to keep cool on the floor, I would get up every hour or so and check on him, making sure he didn't soil himself and that he was okay and comfortable, I found him over by where our 5 ye old son eats and there he was looking for the snacks off the floor of any food droppings, then I found him in the bathroom, where my husband nearly stepped on him in the dark,
    Petey was dragging himself all over the house in the middle of the night, probably seeking comfort, i could hearhim coughingand gasping for breath, I picked him up and placed him back in the kitchen and told him I'll be in bed if he needs me, I woke up, and Petey was laying next to me by my side of the bed in the morning, he had dragged his little worm out body from the kitchen ( about 14-16feet) to be with me to sleep, That morning he had the Vet appointment at 9am to look at his back and we found out that he was sick for a while and we didn't know it :( He hid it well from his pack. ( us, his family)
    The evening before, i took a picture of Petey and in his eyes, I could just feel his goodbyes to me, His quality oflife waspassing beforemy vary eyes, in hours and days, as he moved slower and slept more, he just had this look and all week long I had pampered him and fed him the foodies he loved and spoiled him, this past week, I knew he was saying goodbye as he just got weaker and more tired, he never got aggressive, he was a Nobel good dog that loved Trash if i didn't put up out of reach whenever i left the house, lol
    Petey still ate and drank when I offered it to him, I think he was doing it for me in the end, He began coughing a little and I thought it was a cold that would pass, like always, he progressively started to get worse, he was going to turn 11yrs old Aug 24, 2020, but when he lost the use of his back legs ( suddenly July 26th Sunday night rubbing against furniture) and eventually within a few days, just couldn't get around and follow me from room to room on his own, he didn't seems to have much pain, unless I held him wrong, he would cough hard and pant, in the end, his eyes 2 days ago, just looked tired, Yet he still managed to keep a cheerful look on his face for me took him to the Vet where I learned he was in really bad old age shape, X-Rays showed Enlarged flat heart, collapsed flat trachea, collapsed lung, Degenerative disc disease in his spine. My poor baby lived for quite some time with this and never let on how sick he really was, I feel bad I didn't pick up the queues sooner, but in the end, I did the right thing by him.
    He didn't fight or seemed scared of the Vet, It actually felt like he was comforting me, just before I gave " the nod" to the Vet, the staff was really great and gave me a lot of time to say my final goodbyes with each other, Petey seemed to know and understand. I whispered as I held him in my arms " I love you, Petey, You're a good boy Petey, I love you Petey, You're such a good dog Petey Thank you for your service and friendship little buddy" He licked my nose and curled his head to nuzzle into my neck like a hug, I gave the nod and he went to sleep, softly, gently, silently, silent tears streaming down my face
    I can still hear his tippy toes late at night tapping across the hardwood floors wandering around like he used to, I still hear him panting next to my bedside at night and I smell his little doggy smell still. It still seems he's with me and seems so real I've actually reached down to pet him to find just the carpet and I then the grief happens of the reality and I begin to cry, then I hear the tippy toes again and I go to look. I go back to bed and I am calm once more, and just as before I smell him and hear him panting and I smile and drift off to sleep again I whisper " Goodnight Petey, see you in the morning"

    Hi Danielle, My beautiful pup needed assistance crossing over just two weeks ago. She was 16.5 years old and up until hours before her body gave out, she was doing everything she loved. I disagree that when they stop doing the thing they love is the main way to tell they're ready to cross. My pup LOVED going for walks and taking in her surroundings (she was a coonhound). She had barked and chased off a coyote, she had eaten, she wanted to be outside all day...she loved saying "hi" to people, all things she did just 12 hours prior to her passing.
    For my pup, her organs were suddenly shutting down. It was that "simple". Until the end, she did what she loved. I think it's important for everyone to look for all the signs, talk with your vet, but also know there is no "one way" to know when it's time for your dog - as I've described above.
    I think it's dangerous to assume there is one sign. It wasn't at all accurate in my situation. I'm still grieving, am devastated by the loss of my girl, but felt the need to tell you my experience in order to help others.

    Danielle, thank you!! I had to put one of my dogs down at 9 years old. he was a very happy dog and we use to go for long walks and this was our thing. one day his back legs stopped working. Itook him to the vet but there was nothing for sure they could do for him, alot of maybe this or maybe that and I didn't have alot of money. I immediately knew is quality of life would never be the same, so as much as I really didn't want to I made to decision to put him down. It killed me to do it and I have been feeling guilty about it for years because he was my best friend. I miss him, and think about him all the time.this video helped me to come to terms with putting him down when I did. Again thank you!!1

    My boy past 2 days ago ❤ The most devastating 😢experiences of my life !
    I had to make the decision headed on exactly what you are taking about . I know my dog so well . He never stopped eating but I connected with his energy all the time and i could feel his pain his unease his frustration and is lack of energy and he needed my help. He couldn’t walk as far he wasn’t be stimulated like he needed to be because he was having to stop or reduce the things that brought him joy and just moving around was getting more difficult. My dog was stoic and he would never give up he would be mortified to be left until he couldn’t walk in to the vets or he messed himself or it just be a traumatic event. I had to give him what he needed. Thank you for your channel I believe Beau my dog has brought this to me ❤

    My comment comes a little late as it has been 3 years since u posted this video but the no:1 sign that I knew my beautiful boy River was on his way to leaving was the day he "lost his job". He was the "man of the family", the caretaker of all the females canine and human, he was born into a pack of 6 dogs, he was protective of us all, he had his work cut out for him, he was an incredible working and performance dog, he knew his role in the family, and when the last of canine family died, especially so when his litter mate sister, died, that was the day he lost his purpose in life.
    He no longer wanted to go for walks although I tried to coax him. Oh, yes he still ate and all, was very healthy and yes, I upped his activities and he did take care of me, but somehow I knew, he was only living to please me.
    Soon after, he started falling sick. It wasn't cancer. But he did stay on for a year until his body could hold on no more, and then when it was time, he told me, it was time to let him go.
    And u are right, he chose his timing, his vet, and who he wanted to be with at his time of passing: Me and me alone. I am so deeply honoured.
    I was also given the chance to witness that all his past companions (at least 3 of them -- his sister Megan definitely, probably his mum Amber, and his favourite "aunt" Chloe or maybe someone else, maybe even our cat Mushu, was there to tell him that I had heard his message, and that the vet would be here as requested the next morning. Right after he was told by the spirits that he was going to cross over, he turned and stared at me -- perhaps surprised that I had heard him and was thankful I was going to grant him his last wish.
    The next morning, he was so, so ready. He knew what was about to happen. He lay down, closed his eyes -- I swear he squeezed them shut -- and waited, and did not even look up or open his eyes to see who had walked into the house.
    I held him in my arms. He slipped away quietly and peacefully on Dec 3, 2021.
    We have been communicating eversince. He has been sending a million signs. But I still do miss him so very much.

I wanted him to do all the things he loved and be able to see his favorite people and animal friends. We did all those things. I love him so much. I WILL see him again. Thanks. Kathy.

    What made her heart sing was playing, she loved toys, she liked to cuddle to but she was super energetic

    My little girl (dog) when she was 11, stopped eating over a few months and energy was low. I thought she had pain from arthritis as vets didn’t seem to know either. After a couple months her vet suddenly realised she had a bad infection as her temperature was high. She was admitted in emergency hospital and underwent lifesaving operation to remove her gall bladder and strong antibiotics for systemic infection. She nearly died multiple times. I was able to nurse her back to health after months of antibiotics. In hindsight I am sure she thought she was dying and was ready to go but we saved her (many $$$$ later). Over the past 3 years she’s had recurring infections and then neurological issues. We treated with medication many times but 2 weeks ago I knew it was the end and she was done fighting and there was no more medication to save her and I knew I’d never put her through another operation either. I had to let her go. She stopped eating and could barely stand and I booked her euthanasia as that was the last way I could fight for her. I’m grateful I got the extra 3 years but am missing her terribly, she was part of my heart and will be forever 😢

    My dog Blue loved to walk! He went all over town every day. He also loved to go around our yard many times a day. He stopped wanting to do that. He stopped eating then. I sat with him one night and he lay down beside me, looked at me and kissed me. I saw it in his eyes. I'm still grieving.

I knew when she was leaving, like she told me. I was there with her and am grateful. She chose bedtime, the day after Fathers' day. I miss her so much.

    My kitty actually told me in a dream "I will be going away soon", a few months before she passed. I said "please don't go". No fatal diagnosis was ever given by the vet, just mild chronic kidney failure. BTW she ate well up to the point of her crisis that sent her to the hospital and was super sociable with others, although she also seemed to be having trouble seeing those last final days. But that didn't stop her from wanting to go out and visit her favorite cat in our family, or the neighbors yard. But I stopped her. One thing I noticed about my kitty is that she seemed to be watching the wall as though there were moving things on it. Also there seems to be a strange loss of body density, even if the weight didn't change. Upon autopsy it was determined that she had a pancreatic tumor that was invading the liver.

Just not eating anymore. To me that’s 100% her sign that she’s ready. She also loved to lay on her back and fall asleep. She has just been curled up and sprawled out now.

I decided to cremate her and her remains are in our room. This helps me to continue my life as I'm thinking that we're still together.

    My sweet TT stopped playing, started sleeping alone, stopped eating, and stopped purring. I knew she was absolutely ready when 2 specific things happened. She no longer really responded to my the scrathes to her neck or me rubbing her. She was spaced out and not responsive. I knew she was disconnecting from her body. I shook her cookie bag she goes crazy for. Her animal instincts had her jump up and run to the cookie, but when I sat it in front of her she sniffed it & looked at me with utter confusion as to why she didn't want it. It borrowed my heart, and I knew. It's only been 5 days and it's so hard. Thank goodness I did receive a bunch of VERY obvious signs from her right away, because she knew I would need them. I'm learning all the lessons and reasons she was and is still here. I'm taking time to grieve and for her to adjust as well, then work on my communication with her. I can't thank you enough for all your videos. I'm learning so much and working on developing my intuition and abilities. ❤

    Our dog, Charlie, had a heart condition. Despite that, he was still enjoying walks (even if he passed out) and eating (his favorite thing😁). We finally decided to help him pass on because he was visibly in pain. He had heart strokes. He also tried hiding twice the night before, and in the wild, animals hide somewhere to be alone to die.
    I'm so sad that there was a miscommunication with the emergency veterinarian... They whisked him away to an oxygen tank for an hour and a half and gave him anti-anxiety medicine. We thought they were doing an exam. So, before we did the shots to say goodbye, he was already drugged. The poor little guy looked like a zombie. The med made him mentally "gone" already, so I feel we didn't have a real chance to give him clarity and say good bye... 😢 I am challenged to be a better advocate. I should have insisted on seeing him sooner.

      Hi TMcK. First, I'm so sorry for your loss. It is SO hard to lose a beloved being. I'm thinking that perhaps my animals and the afterlife playlist here on TH-cam will help a little bit? One thing I know about animals going to the Other Side though is that they become less connected to their environment the closer they get to passing. Charlie being drugged or not would not have made a difference as he still would have been disconnecting from his physical body (from what they tell me). I hope that helps you a little bit. Sending you my love

    So glad I stumbled on this video. I lost my soul dog on April 14th. I was struggling with the decision to help him cross. We were on our way to the Vet but I turned the car around. I decided to go to his favorite park. He didn't even pick his head up to look outside. I opened the hatch back and though he was weak I thought he'd at least look. He didn't. He just left his head down. The park was his absolute favorite place and even if he couldn't walk or run, I figured being there would bring him joy. It didn't. Should I assume that it was time then? I still struggle. I miss him so much.

      Totally agree, even my baby(dog) gave me 3 weeks to watch her going away, still a shock. Now I just adopted a sweet cat, within 1 week we went to vet, realized she has kidney disease stage 3-4, aside from one threw up. Stop eating for few days now, I am certainly devastating especially we clicked since day one and got so close. No, she can't be doing what she did when she just got here, sad sad sad for me.

    I wish I saw this before my Silver passed. But, I did communicate with her 1 month before that, and she said she was ready to go, but I wasn't ready at the time. She seemed to get better, and I thought she changed her mind. Until Rain showed up at my door, and settled in, she started going downward, all the physical signs plus, I just know by heart, because 2 days before she left, I finally told her, "You may go if you must." But I wasn't willing to put her down. Sunshine, it makes my Silver sing. One hour before she passed, I moved her in her bed to outside, she wanted to come in right away. She also no longer could stand in the litter box with my help, I knew. No more anything I put in her mouth would she take, I knew. She passed away later... Yes, my Yuki was a foodie, when she stopped eating, that was a huge sign for me too.

      Same thing happen to my sweet boy. He was sick for the passed few months after we move to a new home. When we adopted a new kitten for him to have a friend, he knew it was time for him to go. In a month later, he passed away from having seizures. I was so devastated because it happened so quick. But in his last days, I'm glad I was with him all the time and I noticed the sad look in his eyes always. I told him everyday to get well soon and live for many years to come. I guess he decided to go when Im not there with him. I'm sorry my boy I wasn't by your side on your last breath. I tried my best saving you but you left me when I wasn't there by your side in the ICU. May your soul forever in peace my boy ❤️👼🏻 I'll never stop loving and missing you, you are my most loved best friend I could ever ask for ❤️ Thank you for being by my side always and I'm privileged to have you in my life even if it's short ❤️

    I lost my dog a few days ago and it breaks my heart she had to go. She was dealing with cancer, an enlarged heart, Cushing's disease, arthritis and dementia, we loved her so much and we knew she still had love to give but was in obvious pain, we couldn't bare to see her suffer. There is still this guilt in my heart for putting her down, I know she's no longer in pain, but I feel like we killed her and I will forever regret that, I can only hope she's not angry with our decision, I would give anything to have her back or to live with her forever, but we also loved her so much that we didn't want to see her die painfully. I don't know what was right or wrong, but I really hope one day we can see each other again, I hope she will finally remembered who we are again and wait for us. After she passed, would she regain her memories? Will she know who we are? As she became more and more unwell she didn't seem to recognise anyone, I just want to see her wagging tail and excited cry again

    I really don’t agree with the part about not eating. Our girl hadn’t stopped eating completely but she did stop eating on her own because it was so painful for her. The only way she would eat is when I hand-fed her. We didn’t want her suffering to get to the point of her not eating completely. She had a malignant oral tumor and an ulceration in her mouth. Her tumor site under her chin had just opened up and bled so much but she still wanted to try to eat. She continued to push through every single moment and I believe she did that for us. She really enjoyed sunbathing, going out in our mudroom, jumping in our bed the moment I lay down, sleeping in my arm pocket, playing with air or a rug, sitting in our laps and in between us. She still did all of these things but with her getting nasty pain medication twice a day, antibiotics every three days, and anti-inflammatory injections, and with her tumor site bleeding, we believed she didn’t deserve for her illness to take anything else away from her. We gave her a full day and a half of doing all the things she loves and is still able to do before our veterinarian came to our home and we helped her feel peace again and no longer feel the pain she has been feeling. With her brother, we let his illness progress to the point where he was suffering too much and it was an emergency situation, we never wanted it to get to that point we just weren’t ready to let him go. We wanted to spare his sister after what we learned from his passing, none of these angels deserve to suffer.

    Hi divine souls. Felt moved to share here, thanks to you Danielle for your sharings. I too, am an animal psychic and had just been adopted by an amazing dog companion, Sigma, last November (my first ever). I had a vision that he was going to cross over soon, but he was just a pup...lo and behold, two days after having this vision he was hit by a car and had life threatening injuries...he was laid to rest via drugs, but our last moment shared, he seemed to know and say, "now is time, I love you, see you"...ahhh. I am struggling to forgive myself for not having kept him safe, but living as he taught me, fully present in the moments, tail erect, kindly connecting with others...ahhhhh, I feel him with me still, but like, will forever miss his divine physical presence. A few days after his passing, I crossed paths with another dog that communicated with me that he was resting in peace and all would be ok, had a true feeling of comfort after meeting this doggie, was so honored. May peace be with all doggies, all ways, truly special beings.

    I lost my Emma, a 4yrs old lab just 3 days ago. It’s been over 73hrs she’s been gone and it almost feels forever. She battled with ascites, liver and kidney infection for almost two month. I had to force feed for completely for through out her illness. I did my best to keep her by myside but coming through your videos I now learn that, it was never in my hands. She took her last breath on my two hands. Emma you’re always with me, I love you so much Princess. I’m sure you want me to hear her for you.

    I lost my Paris a week ago. She was absolutely healthy and she made some noise at 2 in the morning, tried to call me, I couldn't understand.
    I went near her and said OK now let me sleep.
    When I saw her in the morning she had already passed over.
    I still can't believe how did that happen and why....
    Just hope that she is happy and healthy wherever she is.

    My last cat, Candy was still eating. However, she was suffering so much. Her seizures were getting worse, she was walking in circles and restless. I had put off putting her to sleep for a while and asked her to let me know when it’s time.
    I noticed besides her behavior and symptoms were worse, she didn’t seem like herself at all. She didn’t seem all present. I looked into her eyes one night and she told me it was time. She spent the last few nights snuggled into my neck. Getting as close to me as possible . My cat Powder Puff had done the same thing before I put her to sleep. I know they were saying goodbye when they did that. I miss them both so very much. Powder Puff passed in Feb, and Candy this Dec. it’s been a bit much for me to handle. Too big losses so close together.
    I always feel guilty for putting them to sleep. But I feel like I had to do it in both cases.

    My cat has a mouth tumor and I’ve been doing all I can for her. But I know it’s time because she no longer wants to sit outside on the patio in the sun, or at sunset. That makes her heart sing. My heart is breaking I’ve been crying for 3 days. I have someone coming in the morning to help her out of her body...but I’m praying she passes in her sleep tonight. I just don’t think I can handle taking her life. I told her will be ok, that she can let go, and that she has fulfilled her purpose and did such a great job. That I am a better person because of her. And I am in so many ways.

I had someone come to the house... when she gave her the first injection it hurt her so bad she ran under the bed and fell right asleep. I couldn’t reach her and I was mortified. I didn’t get to kiss her and hold her as she fell asleep, and she was afraid. I still cry thinking about her illness and passing.

    I was beginning to give up on the idea that I would “just know.” My cat was fighting so hard to stay with me, and keep me happy, despite extreme pain and suffering with end stage kidney failure (he had fought the disease for 4 1/4 years). His body was breaking down rapidly, but I needed to know if he still wanted to be here, so I waited. When his body needed so much support and cleanup and positioning to get through his daily routine (eat, potty, wash, window, kitty cup, Mommy, sister, Mommy and sister, sleep, eat, potty, Mommy and sister…), I wondered when it would be too much. His routine was his life. He was falling out of his window, having accidents, needing baths, needed to lie on a heating pad for pain. I was so fortunate I went through a long illness and was transitioning back to work, because I started two weeks late so I could see him through his illness, as he had done mine. I gave him every bit of mommy cuddles he wanted, and helped him with his routine. One evening, he gave me a long look like, “Mommy, it’s too much. Please help me.” I took him to bed with me, where we slept peacefully. There was no emergency vet in driving distance that night. The next day, he suffered a massive hemmorhage at Potty time, collapsed, and I knew it was time. Please don’t think I made him suffer…he was purring and eating with great effort, and loving life to the end. He told me when he had had enough, and I listened. We know our beloved pets.

She had plenty of discomfort and trouble getting around and was licking and swallowing so often, she was resting so often but much sleep since she was miserable and then Restless last couple day's so I knew because she was not so happy and she seemed to be in tune that she was sick, we had a beautiful last couple of days and I felt she was at peace but I did not want her to suffer.

    My little dog died yesterday exploring near our busy street. It was what he loved.. exploring and feeling the sunshine. We lived on this street for 2 1/2 years and constantly worked to teach him to not go on the road. He was so good about minding the boundaries most of the time. Yesterday I got distracted, forgot he was out exploring, and honestly thought he was sleeping in my office on the chair behind me. Until I realized he wasn’t. I was too late, I found him in the road with obvious internal injuries. I feel terrible. I need to talk to him again even though I believe he died doing something that made his heart sing. 💕

I let him out of the car 2 nights ago and he ran to pee on his favorite spot but i missed him going further. I looked in the wrong direction for 5-10 mins and when I finally went to the intersection I immediately saw him lying on the side of the road. The person who hit him didn’t even stop. I am devastated and I miss him more than anything in life. All I have left is his precious memory. He was the most Handsome Best Dog EVER! I hope knowing you’re not alone helps in some small way. Rodie also went out doing what he wanted and loved. Sniffing and peeing on things lol

    I just lost my baby boy Sam past night and we had to take him from the vet this morning and busy him this afternoon. It was so fast caused by a medical condition so we're not ready for it.
    I think I knew he was ready when he stayed at the terrace and looked at the sky for a few minutes. He's a very active boy and doesn't really like to sit and chill especially when he sees the sunlight.
    It's still fresh and I am grieving but Ms. Danielle, your videos are helping me. I miss my baby Sam and he'll forever be loved and remembered by my family.

      I felt the same way after watching this video. My dog passed last Thursday. He had chronic pancreatitis and liver damage. We tried every treatment possible, but he was not recovering. The vet said that he was struggling, and I saw it in his eyes. But, he was himself in some ways still. His number one favorite thing was walks, and he loved them up until the day he passed. I often question whether I made the right decision.

    My Cookie was a 100% herself till her very last day on earth, even when she was limping heavily. She had to undergo a tumor removal surgery and she just didn't wake up - her heart stopped. It was 5 weeks ago, and I'm still grieving, but I had known for at least a couple of weeks beforehand that she would cross over. The surgery was her last chance to prolong her life as the tumor was spreading towards her spine, but she was a strong dog, all pre-surgery tests were perfect, and doctors said she'd be fine. But Cookie had a different plan. So for me, even if she was her happy-self, she always had great appetite, she chased after a cat that same morning and no signs whatsoever... I just knew.

    I saw somewhere someone saying I thought it was just amazing advice and that is pick out five things your dog really loves doing just get so much joy out of whether it's getting a meal or going for a ride play ball tug of war whatever and then also think about things that they really get riled up about the mailman delivery person someone knocking at the door and when two or three of these things from either list stop occurring it's time that sounds like really sound advice to me when I no longer have a quality of life and their mind and they no longer wish to participate in their own treatment or recovery many dogs have increased thirst or increased hunger and some diseases and just before they die so when they stop eating or drinking is not necessarily in my opinion anyway an all tell all also gaining or losing weight rapidly isn't necessarily a death sentence but from my personal experience in cats when they stop grooming or refuse any care or treatment you tried to give them from sample offering them water they don't want it food no matter what kind not interested they completely stop grooming themselves and become really like dirty and oily and stinky or maybe they can't any longer all these are signs that their quality of life is gone dogs seem to me to be more intuitive knowing that they need to be with you for you when they go or knowing that for you they should wait until you are gone to go they also in my opinion tend to stick around as long as you are pulling and tugging and trying to hang on to them you may or may not get that feeling that look or have that you'll no experience impact in my opinion you'll never know when the right time is I heard someone else say it may be better to help your friend one day early and to help your friend one second too late IDK I just know that when you love your pets as much as we do it's hard no one wants to make the call to say goodbye

    We put our cat down May 2nd. It was a very hard decision for me because we had been treating his kidney disease for almost 3 years and he had been doing so well. But ultimately what pushed me was that our cat always loved being near us and he almost always wanted to sit on us or sleep on us. His final week with us he was spending almost all his awake time walking in circles and getting dizzy and falling over. When he wasn’t walking in circles he was bumping into things often bumping his head very hard. He had lost his vision at the end of December but had done pretty well adjusting but this was different. He also started to step in his poop in his litter box. He hated when we would have to clean the poop off his paws. Would growl and hiss and he has never been one to growl or hiss. He even bit me at one point which again isn’t his usual self. He started to stay away from us, mostly sleeping on our bed while we were in the living room. Usually if we were in the living room he would be sleeping on one of us. He occasionally would sleep on us if I physically brought him up but once he was awake and then wanted to go back to sleep after he would go to the bed. It got to the point that sometimes when I would lift him for a cuddle he would growl or hiss. This isn’t something he would do before. His final night with us he couldn’t even settle on the bed to sleep with us. (He would still sleep with us at night for the most part). He started walking in circles on our bed and I was afraid he would fall off the bed so I wasn’t sleeping and kept trying to guide him so he wouldn’t fall and he would growl at me. :( We knew he just wasn’t happy anymore and the light was gone from his eyes. I am thankful he still had some appetite so that before the vet arrived at our house we were able to let him enjoy his favourite treat and he truly did enjoy it. He pretty much put his whole face in it. The vet told us the circling likely meant he had experienced a few strokes. I think the one thing I struggle with is that I learned another thing that can cause circling is an inner ear infection and I sometimes wonder if it could have been treated and he could have recovered. But I also know his kidney disease was progressing and I know strokes can happen from that so I try to trust what the vet told us is accurate but I still think what if there was more we could have done?
