It’s hard to believe it’s been nearly two years since we said goodbye to our beloved rescue dog, Bailey. She wasn’t just a pet; she was my first dog, my confidant, my protector, and my constant companion. Bailey’s energy was endless; she helped me train for a half-marathon, and she had a way of welcoming every rescue dog we fostered into our home, showing them the ropes of a good life. When our children arrived, Bailey instantly became a loyal friend to them, showering them with kisses and love every single day.
Bailey’s final months were incredibly difficult. She began to limp, and after visiting a specialist, we learned she may have had cancer and could have required an amputation, chemotherapy, or other aggressive treatments that would have only bought her about a year of extra time. Jason and I made the heart-wrenching decision to let her live her remaining days in peace, even as we carried her up and down the stairs and managed her pain with multiple medications. On October 6, 2023, after one last walk around the backyard, we laid her to rest and let her go be with God.
Life without Bailey has been emptier than I could have imagined. Adding to the grief, when I retrieved her ashes, I discovered another dog’s paperwork at the bottom of the cremation box, leaving me with lingering doubts and a heavy heart. We do have a beautiful memorial to Bailey in our home, where we pray, talk, and remember her. Emilia often sits there telling Bailey how much she misses her. But as the second anniversary of Bailey’s passing approached, I realized I hadn’t felt her presence as much lately. I used to hear her walk down the hallway. I used to see her in my mind’s eye. I used to hear her bark at the delivery driver’s. I wanted reassurance. Was she okay? Was she pain-free? Did she forget about us?
I scheduled a California Psychics phone reading with Cain, extension 7683, and spent 22 minutes speaking with him. From the very beginning, Cain was calm, genuine, and honest. I asked him if Bailey was okay, and he shared that she is with an older couple, potentially great-grandparents, who are animal lovers and caring for her. Bailey communicated that she had pulled back from visiting because she felt my sadness and didn’t want to cause me more pain. Cain reassured me that this was natural and that I would feel her presence around the holidays. We used to celebrate Halloween together with costumes and trick-or-treating, and Christmas with fancy collars and pictures with Santa. He told me that when I feel her visit, to try to remain strong, as she picks up on my energy and doesn’t want to see me upset.
Cain even described details from our home, telling me Bailey comes to our bedroom on the right side, just like she used to when she would lick my right hand as I lay in bed. He explained her decline was irreversible, related to her brain and stomach, and that even if we had tried more aggressive treatments, it would not have helped. Importantly, he reassured me that I shouldn’t feel guilty about any decisions we made; we gave Bailey a life full of love and care.
One of the most comforting revelations was regarding Bailey’s ashes. Cain told me they truly were hers, which lifted a tremendous weight I’d carried for two years. Talking to Cain allowed me to process my grief, feel comforted, and find closure, especially as her second anniversary approached. His compassionate guidance reminded me that Bailey is at peace, being cared for, and waiting for me.
If you’ve ever lost a beloved pet and have questions about their well-being in the afterlife, or simply need comfort, I highly recommend speaking with Cain at California Psychics, extension 7683. The insight, clarity, and reassurance I received from him have been invaluable, helping me honor Bailey’s memory while finding peace in my grief.
Bailey may have only been with us for nine years, but her impact on our lives was immeasurable. I will forever cherish the love, joy, and lessons she brought into our home, and thanks to California Psychics Advisor Cain, (ext. 7683), I now carry her memory with a sense of comfort and connection that I never thought possible after such a profound loss.
