Barks from Beyond - Pet Visitation from the Other Side | For Jake 🐺❤️ | 6.7

[@erinmarinello6583]

Sending you my sympathies, all my love, and support ❤️. My 16yo indoor cat, Oogie, disappeared into the nearby forest last August. He never went outside. I was frantic looking for him. I did a full on search for him even made flyers and went door to door to ask the neighbors if they had seen him. He never came back home. I am still devastated over his disappearance. I believe it was his time to pass on, so he went to die in the woods. He hadn't shown any signs of sickness and seemed healthy as can be. I have a hole in my heart now. I would love to see his little face one more time to smell him and say goodbye. Oh damn, I don't even know why I wrote this 😢. I'm thinking about just deleting it, but for once, I'm going to post it. I will see him again someday. Anyway, thanks for this video. It made me feel better today.❤

[@BeliefHolePodcast]

Sorry for your loss, Erin. I’m sure you’ll see him again ❤️‍🩹

I'm an animal communicator (Pet psychic) and until 5 yrs ago I wouldn't have believed it was possible but after the loss of my 17-year-old soul cat my world flipped. I went from soul crushing depression to helping others with their grief as well. I left my 25yr career as a therapist and addictions counselor to become a pet psychic and haven't looked back. This episode was so beautiful thank you for sharing these stories with the world. Animals have mastered unconditional love and are here to teach us soul lessons (in my belief). They can continue to work with us even after death. They give us signs you shared so many great examples of how they do that. In my experience, I use all my senses, however, they want to communicate the message but usually, it's geared to the person receiving it and how they best understand information. I have so many stories and even pictures of my cat's spirit hanging with my two newest cats which was amazing! John you didn't do anything wrong things happened exactly as they were supposed to. I'm so so sorry for your loss. Grief messes with our frequency to hear/feel spirit so the more grounded you feel the more you will experience. I'm willing to give you a free reading anytime. Sending love and healing your way, Jenny (Serenity Forest Elgin)

This is crazy. We lost our baby of 11 years last week. She died in my 14 year old daughters arms. We are all still reeling. Coco & Jake- run through that rainbow bridge together and be free 🐾❤️🐕

[@wwaitkus]

Our pets are the most significant and important relationships of our lives. See, friends, partners, romances, family, can all come and go. We don't know if and how it will end, but we keep trying through talking, therapy, attempts at reconciliation, and sometimes breaking ties. We adopt a pet with love, hope, and joy fully knowing how it will end. God willing and the creek doesn't rise, we all know how it ends. We choose to do it anyway. These are our friends, family, loved ones, and soul mates. We CHOOSE. We know how it all ends. We do it anyway, because the love and joy is all worth it in the end. Before you dismiss these precious little ones as "pets," remember that you know FOR A FACT how it ends. You choose it anyway. That is how special these precious beings are. It's worth every minute, even the ones spent crying well into the night. My love and empathy are with anyone mourning the loss of these companions and I wish you the most healing you can get. I wish for you the love that precious soul has given to you freely and without conditions. You will see each other again at that rainbow bridge, and know if you really need them, they will always be there for you. Bless.

[@luis-xb3vr]

As I'm listening to this while it's still live. I couldn't fight the tears that I had thinking of all the pets that I've lost. Listening to these stories really hit me as I've always looked at my pets as my family. Last week, I rescued 2 german Shephard pups, someone left on the road in front of my property, and they immediately became family. I hope one day I will see them again on the rainbow 🌈 bridge. So sorry again for your loss. I know Jake is up there having fun and in peace, and you will see him again. 🐕 🐾

[@lindabriggs5118]

I'm sorry for your loss. I've been there, many times. My belief is that when you pass away, you will be reunited with family and pets that have gone before us. Two years ago, I had to euthanize my loyal friend, Koda, a White German Shepherd. He had kidney failure. His last day, my vet, who is a sweetheart, came to my home. I was sitting on the floor with Kody's head in my lap. For weeks she and I tried everything, diuretics and insulin. But he was suffering. He was such a happy dog and loved riding my car, going to the park, and playing with my grand-daughters. He was my confidant and protector. But Finally I couldn't have him suffering anymore. He didn't want to ride in the car anymore or even climb out of it when we arrived at the park. He was having a hard time even going up the stairs. I said my goodbyes and the vet put him to sleep then injected the med to stop his heart. After a time, she, the vet actually carried Kody to my car for me because I am handicapped. I then drove to my daughter's house and my son-in-law buried him for me. I miss him daily, I always will, along with every pet I was blessed to have and love. The hurt will soften but you will always remember the time you had with them.

Oh my gosh, I'm just in tears! I said goodbye to my black German Shepherd just after Christmas. He was 14 years old and got me through so many deployments with my husband. I am so sorry for your loss.

[@lara4life656]

John- you did everything right. You feel remorse bc your baby died at the vet; when we lost our chiweenie Coco last week, I felt remorse we didn't get to the vet in time. Don't feel guilty, please. When they go, we never feel we did enough. I think they know we did everything we could in life and our love goes with them wherever we are at the exact moment. Prayers for you and all who loved your baby...and ours .✝️🤍🙏🏼

[@heathereads9594]

After we lost our first goat, who was like a pet to us, my kids and I were devastates. Once in awhile my kids saw what they called her ghost in our pasture around dusk. They used to come inside and tell me, "we saw Cinnamon in the field again."

[@Thekoryosmenstribepodcast]

I have a Pup that i got due to depression, and anxiety. I have struggled with this since i was a young kid due to circumstances of abuse and things growing up. Im 41, and i decided to get my own puppy, for the first time on my own (my father never let us have one). He is 2 now, and he has helped me so much, and he is great with my kids. He is a cane corso pitbull mix. He is giant baby, he gets sad when i leave him to go to work, or for any other reason. I dread the thought of him passing away. He has taught me so much about patience, and love, and to relax and enjoy life. Death comes for us all.........But its not forever.

[@jennyjones-tw5hp]

I’m so sorry. My pooch died of a splenic mass rupture. We’d done ultrasounds previously and they still didn’t find it. There was literally nothing you could have done differently. I played vet tech for a decade and you did the best thing anyone could have for Jake.

[@michellecook-hill]

Exactly. And, again, so sorry guys.

[@g._kat]

Back in 2020, peak pandemic I worked in health care, an incredibly emotionally draining environment and conditions. As my mental health declined and I entered an incredibly dark place my best friend surprised me with an orange kitten I named “Peachy Keen,” because she was my wonderful beautiful baby. And she helped me through so incredibly much. After just one year of having her we had the strongest connection. I truly felt like she understood me. She was always by my side and she was my EVERYTHING. I remember one night I couldn’t get her inside and I had this god awful heavy feeling in the pit of my stomach. I was outside all night on and off calling for her, I swore I could hear her meowing for me but I couldn’t find where it was coming from. When it was morning I knew deep in my soul that she wasn’t coming home. That afternoon I managed to convince my mother to drive out with me to look for her and we found her passed away on the side of the road. I screamed so loud the vessels in my eyes popped. The next few nights I yearned for her to come see me in my dreams, I just wanted to see her one more time. Let her know how sorry I was for failing to protect her, but she never did. A few months later i finally had a dream, I was in town on a walk and she approached me on the sidewalk. I remember how soft she felt, rubbed against my legs. Before I could speak she jumped into a bush and shortly later she appeared again with another orange cat with long fur and a bushy tail. The next morning while at the pet store to get food for my guinea pigs, I saw an orange cat with long fur and a bushy tail. Identical to the one peach led to me in my dream. I full heartedly believe that she led me to that cat, which I adopted. His name is Oliver, and he has brought me so much peace.

[@debralucas9519]

What an incredibly beautiful story. I'm so sorry about the human race during covid. It was surely an eye opener. I hope you and Oliver have many happy years together ❤️

[@PinkWytchBytch]

I had a similar sort of experience. My dog of 12 years had been with me through a lot, she’d even been a guard dog for a time and was very capable of defending. One day, she seemed sorta tired. By that afternoon she was having a violent stroke and we had no idea what to do. It devastated me, and for the next few weeks I was lost, I didn’t even focus on the world because I no longer felt safe, I felt so alone. Then, when I was doing research into how to cope, out of the blue there comes this picture of a small 8 week old pup, and he looked so close to her I had to click. Turns out he was basically the same mix breed as her, he was a few states away, and despite not really knowing how I was going to make it happen, I knew the second I saw him my girl was giving me a nudge to say “I gotta go now, but he will look after you if you can find him” and within a week, I had him with me. His connection was instant, he didn’t even miss his litter mates, he’s been glued to my side for 5 months now and there’s been moments where I swear I’ll see my girl coaching him from beyond, showing him how to get on in the household, and he has never once gone over and explored her area, it’s as if he knows that territory isn’t his and he refuses to go. So I fully believe this little male pup was my old female dogs way of making sure I was taken care of before she felt at peace to go

[@luis-xb3vr]

I can't wait. i know there is a special place for the pets we've all lost

[@StoneHerne]

I'm so sorry. RIP Jake. Sending healing vibes to Jon and his family. We all are by your side. I remember when my dog died a few years ago. To carry its corpse back home from the vet I had to walk some blocks. At every step, I felt and knew that I was honored to carry the body of a real life hero. May every one who has lost a beloved pet be forever reunited with it in the afterlife.

one more, I just listened to the guy and the birds, this happened in real life, not a dream, I buried my dog, max, under a tree, and i buried him with this awesome silver cross pendant I made, and it was a long ceremony, I was alone at my families house in Humboldt California. and I knelt down, and prayed, and I stood up, and looked into the oak tree above me, and it was full, FULL, I mean FULL OF DOVES. and right then they all flew away and I was just absolutely amazed, it was like he was flying away, I could not understand how it could be possible the doves were so quiet for the hour I buried him, I could not understand where the doves came from, there was only two doves on that property for that whole year. I was so amazed I went and told my family, she looked at me in disbelief because, like I said there wasn't a flock of doves anywhere around there. true story.

[@BeliefHolePodcast]

I also buried a dog named Max under a tree on my folks land. That’s a great story. I’ll definitely have to pass that along to Jon 👊

my precious angel little chihuahua, Macho, was my soulmate best friend, everyone loved him and he just absolutely loved everyone, after he passed, I had this dream where I walked into a well lit room, there was this beautiful ruby red couch, super fancy, and he was sitting on it with this girl around late twenties, I walked in the room and he just lost it , so stoked to see me. I ran over and knelt down and was petting him, and it was really him, every way we interacted, I could feel him, his little body, everything. we were so happy to see each other, and I turned to the girl and she was just peacefully sitting there looking at us smiling. and I was so happy I looked at her and asked,"where are we? Macho is dead, where are we?" and right then her face went into pure shock, and I was staring in her eyes and she was staring at me like,,,WHAT! and I was looking in her eyes and I could tell,,,, she didn't know she was dead. and right then the whole scene started backing up and closing like the old cartoons that end with the little hole in the middle of the screen, and I was pushing and running to try to get back to that room but t was so far ahead of me just closing and backing away. and then I woke up, and cried, but... I then knew he was ok, he is still around, and he's helping comfort that girl that didn't know she was dead. I love you Macho, forever, until we meet again and hang out on that couch. thank you for being such a Good friend.

36 seconds in and my eyes are already watering. I lost my Ernie November 2022 and it's still hard to look at photos of him. I don't think I'm ready to listen to this episode yet, but when I am I can't wait to hear it ❤❤❤🤍🐾 p.s. sometimes when I'm at my parents house, where Ernie lived, I catch a quick jingle of what sounds like his collar. Whenever I go over there I always walk in and say "hey Bubba" just in case he's there watching over us ❤

[@imperialchalice]

❤❤❤❤❤. I lost my bird recently, and I have her ashes with me. My mother held her for her last breaths, and it hurt me that I wasn’t there. She changed a lot in her last year, but when I held her the night before, she snuggled up to me like she had done all those years before. When she passed, I held her for a few hours, and I had suddenly gotten these flash backs, simultaneously, one after the other- like a mini bombardment-of our time spent together. I immediately started crying again, thinking to myself she came back to say goodbye and I knew she was ready to move on. I miss her. She took a little bit of warmth away when she left, but I’m trying to find it in myself now. Something she taught me is that an animal is the embodiment of purity and unconditional love. ❤ above everything, she just wanted to be by my side.

[@EchoatTheOakAnchor]

I've sobbed through this episode. It's hits so hard. I'm so sorry for your loss. The love of a dog is so pure. When it's time for another dog, you'll know. And with any karmic justice, Jake will help you choose the right companion.

What a beautiful tribute ❤ Giving my 2 big puppers extra love tonight in honor of Jake.

[@b-spradling]

I had two dogs when I was young. The oldest one, was my dad’s dog. This collie was the funniest dog because he would try to play nurse maid to random cats. Wolkin would lock his front legs gently around the cat and sit there grooming this poor cat. He had such thick fur, that by the time he released the cat, the cat would be just drenched in sweat from the middle to tail! 😂 This same dog was known for wandering, in western Oklahoma, especially to local neighbors that had children. Well, he wandered and was missing for a while. The day I was born, my godfather found him randomly in a peanut field… it was like he put himself in my godfather’s path so he could come back home. Five years later, after losing a loved one to a homicide, my folks adopted a female collie. I didn’t have any younger siblings yet and so I named her little sister. Wolkin and Little Sister were a hoot to watch together. In 1998, my mother came home on lunch to find Little Sister lifeless and Wolkin in a bad way. Turns out some punk kids in the neighborhood put antifreeze in their water bowls.. this was mid August, so really hot temperatures… My folks took Wolkin out to my grandpa’s property, which is where he passed and was buried. To this day, I haven’t owned any other dogs because their loss was so devastating. Eventually, I want two more dogs but I know it could never be a Collie breed. So John, I am truly sorry for the pain you’re feeling having lost Jake. ❤

[@danielmahoney1546]

John, I am so sorry to hear about Jake. I had two great dogs, Prince was a Retriever/ Husky mix, Chief, Husky/German Shepherd. Prince was the best dog I ever had, seventeen years mostly off leash, Chief, dog of my dreams, fiercely independent, master escape artist. And yes, they have made their presence known after they left the mortal plane as well as their feline brother Max. I can tell you if you'd like to hear.

[@daydreamerprod]

Rest in heaven to my pups Osiris & Mystic my beautiful pitties that both passed too early @ 7&10 years young, 5 years ago- Both obviously too early. I cried myself to sleep listening to this EP and thinking of them. Meanwhile my two rescue pitties now 4 & 5 kept me company and stared into my sould with encouragement and love..

[@cordeliabuffy6419]

So sorry to hear about your pup. Sometimes there is nothing you can do. I lost my cat 'Boosie during the early days of the covid lock down, when no vets were open. It messed me up pretty bad, he was such a cool cat, a real adventurous guy. And the last few months I've been dealing with the consequences of a bad vet who tried her best to kill my little cat Squinch. Even when you think you're doing the right thing and something like murder vet happens ,you get overwhelmed with guilt. Just know your pup loved you , and he is always in your heart. One day we will all be reunited with our loved ones again. And that includes our furry family members.

[@leannelittle6067]

[@onesunnyday5699]

I feel this pain still. A couple of yrs ago, I had to let our girl Paris go due to a sudden onset of grand mal seizures. She was so very young & she hadn't had the best start in life. But with us, she was so spoiled & loved. We tried everything along with the vet, but less than a year later, the day of or right before her 3rd birthday, she had to go more peacefully. She went through a 2 hr seizure, where she never returned to normal before another ravaged her. We made a pillow bed in the living room & spent the night snuggling, having all the treats & just loving her. The next day, my friend went with me & stayed with me through the process. It was a learning lesson for her since she had never seen a pet treated that humanely. She needed to have pets put to sleep, but the vets didn't use the sedation 1st & they suffered horribly. I couldn't imagine that. Less than a year later, on a whim following a girls' trip, we stopped by a shelter. They brought out a dog so similar, he could have been Paris' father. It was meant to be. Buster is just as spoiled 😊. You will be reunited 💖.

I had a NDE. I was dead for 47 minutes and there are several things that we verified. I identified that I was taken to a different hospital than we were initially headed for, even knew the room number in the ER; identified the ambulance crew and also the number on the ambulance itself. My heart stopped beating well before the ambulance even arrived and I watched the whole ordeal from above. So much more to it but there’s definitely things that become facts with my situation.

I put off listening to this episode because my own four-legged best friend, Molly, wasn’t doing too well, and I knew her time was close. She’s 15. Today, though, this afternoon, she is going to be crossing the rainbow bridge. I am listening to this right now, with her, before she leaves, because I want to hope that she isn’t really leaving forever. I want to hope that we might see each other again, in this realm or the next. It is…unbelievably painful to lose her right now. But thank you guys, for doing this episode. It is synchronistic and timely. And I am so sorry for your own loss. Jake looks like a good, beautiful boy. He was lucky to have you, Jon, and Jeremy and Chris. My heart goes out to you, and to all those who have to say goodbye to their best friends far sooner than they are ready. ❤

[@BeliefHolePodcast]

Our thoughts are with you as Molly sets off on her next adventure. It’s hard but we all know this existence here is temporary. You will absolutely see Molly again someday! Something that helped me is knowing that Jake isn’t the one missing me or in pain. Being here is painful for us but they are pure love and where they go is pure love. In the blink of an eye to them we will see each other again.

We had 4 dogs, I lost my best friend Brutus (GSD) and lost my other frien Jagger (Papillon) last week. The pain is the same. They have their gifting but in the end they are nothing but love machines who are there with you when you are down and out and your human friends are no where to be found. I thank the Lord for the time I was gifted with these wonderful companions. God bless and stay strong. Jake will be waiting for you.

[@steadfasttherenowned2460]

Over the years I've lost a few pets. I always, always have an insanely vivid dream about them when I go to bed, at night, on the same day they pass. But not all my pets, only the higher lifeform pets like dogs or cats etc. Never pets like fish or lizards. The same thing happens to me when I lose a close human family member. The only difference is that the pets are only the single vivid dream. The humans, I'll get vivid vision like glimpses of them every so often. Awake, when I'm relaxing or at bed time right before i go to sleep. They always appear smiling and they look like they did in the prime of there lives. It's comforting. They never talk though. They just look at me with happy content smiles on their faces.

[@wwaitkus]

That's not the end, and you can see them almost any time you like. Whenever I need the love or assistance of one of my departed friends, I just have to call them. When I moved into my current home, I had my beloved dog, Mushu, THE dog (multiple dog owners know what that means), help lead the stranded "residents" out. I told those people if they stayed behind, or were difficult, then my right hand girl, guardian, and all around badass companion, Seraphim, would clear them out. Seraphim was an ordinary white domestic short hair (stray) cat in life. In death she's a g0dd@mn 6-7 foot tall lioness with a massive 6 foot-ish (possibly larger) wingspan. Yes, she earned those wings. If you need them, call them. They're never too busy. They also don't generally talk because they don't have the articulators, but like always in life, they can communicate, you just need to talk to them.

[@HungryHobbit12]

I lost my heart dog in a way like this. He was my soul buddy. I took him to the vet a few times they told me he was just getting older, had arthritis. I came home from work one day and his leg was limp. He’d had issues before so I called the vet and they wouldnt get us in. So I started looking up an emergency vet and while I was doing that I could hear his breathing labored. I shut my laptop closed to get him and put him in the car and go but he was gone. It was the same thing - tumor on the spleen that bled out. I had no idea he was even sick. I was so heartbroken. But a few days later I felt him push the back of my knees (he did this so I would hurry and get out of his way when he went outside). I’ve lost other pets since, but they didn’t break me the same way. Maybe just having that first loss makes the others a bit less traumatic. I do miss them all dearly. I am so sorry for your loss.

I’m sorry for your loss of Jake. Losing a pet is the worst. It’s simply not fair they don’t live as long as us. Especially when their life is suddenly cut short. Happened to me with my best floofy friend Maggie may. She ended up having bone cancer. I brought her in for a checkup and ended up having to put her down that day. I miss her every day and think of her often. She did leave me a very cool sign after she left and I’ll perhaps send our story in. Thanks for all you guys do❣️

I'm so sorry for your loss. I know the pain and grief of losing a friend like this. Four years ago my German Shepherd, Cassie, also passed away. She was the bravest and the smartest dog I ever knew. She was with me through my entire childhood, through all the ups and downs, loss of my loved ones, cancer recovery, depression and anxiety. One week in 2020 she began feeling worse and worse, no doctor could really help her, everyone said it was old age. She stuck with us until the very end. When it finally got really bad, I remember just saying to her that she's loved, I'm grateful for everything, that the whole family is with her, and that she can go. We all slept in the living room that night to keep her company. She was gone when we woke up.

[@brookiecookie6586]

So sorry for your loss 💙 I have a ghost/animal tale of my own . I definitely agree with the male nurse on the speak pipe about animals knowing someone's time is near. November 2021, my fiance took part time work for fun as a scare actor at the infamous Eloise Asylum here in Michigan. It turns out my great grandfather died there against his will in the 1950s. Honestly we had made some off color jokes about not letting the angry spirits get revenge on us, as it's a little controversial for the hospital to become a haunted attraction. A few weeks in my fiance gets covid while working there. Soon me, him, my mom and dad all have it. Day 5 my Dad (who who was a believer in the paranormal and would have loved your podcast ) doesn't seem right and goes to lay down. A few minutes later he's blue and no longer breathing or responsive. Our cats were there watching the whole thing. They are cuddly and loving to us, but will go upstairs if we are too loud or strangers come over. During the commotion, screaming and pleading with 911 to come quickly and me pulling him to the ground to try to revive him with CPR the cats didn't take off. Then 5 big fireman come through the door to take over the CPR and take him in the ambulance to the hospital. Still they sat there by him, unmoving. He wasn't pronounced dead until the ER, but I could tell he was gone by his body posture going into the tarp. And I think our furry friends could too 😿. By the way he's definitely come back to us a few times. But those are tales for another day. Keep up the excellent work boys. Love from Michigan.

So sorry about your loss of Jake. I lost my oldest dog last month. It's always hard even though I've been through it many times now in my life. Wouldn't it be wonderful to have a visit no matter how brief, from the other side!?

[@Frank-cg3qq]

I'm so sorry fellas. 😢 RIP Jake! I love the whole team. You guys have helped me relax and free my mind for a while. Keep your head up and remember the great times bro enjoy the memories

[@mirandamself]

❤😢 I felt all these stories so deeply. I have a shepherd who will be 9 this September & I know that when his passing comes someday it is going to mess me up. I’ve had him since he was a puppy. He’s been thru hell & back with me. He’s moved to 4 different states with me. Been thru 2 marriages & multiple pregnancies. I’m so sorry for your loss John. Jake will always be by your side, you may not see him, but you’ll know he’s there. ❤

[@rwegimont]

Such a beautiful episode. My heart goes out to you all. I didn't have the opportunity to send in a story, but many years ago I lost my cat, Brian, tragically. The very next morning, I saw a little whitish shape zip by my bedroom door. That was the only visible visit I've had, but to this day, other cats will display Brian's idiosyncratic trait. It's basically that the cat will call me over to their food bowl so I can pet their back while they eat, which is what Brian would do. I would ask the owners if their cat would normally do this and the reply is always that they would not. So, I believe Brian continues to reach out to me through other cats. In saying that, it's a reminder that they never leave us and are always connected to us. Love you guys.

[@malonetuten333]

I’m so sorry for your loss. I appreciate this episode very much and it’s touched my heart. My dog, Indie Pie was my baby for 16 years. She was my baby before I even had my own children. We had such a strong connection. When I breastfed my children, she would know their cries when they were hungry. If it was a dirty diaper, she wouldn’t respond, but a hungry cry, she would get my attention to get the baby. Indie Pie had some little puppy toys that were her “babies” and she’d snuggle them close to her while I breastfed my babies and she would feed hers too. She even produced milk!!! That’s how connected we were. She died in June of 2020 and I was devastated and cried for months. I’d see her walking by in the corner of my eye often. That stopped abruptly in August of 2020 and I figured that she finally thought that I was okay enough to leave me. We found 2 sister puppies that were the same breed as Indie Pie (Jack Russel shorties). When we went to meet the girls, I held Ellie first. Then, I held Lucy. As soon as she was placed in my hands, Lucy looked at me and she screamed and pooped on me!!! I have never heard a puppy scream like a human, but she did! And she couldn’t take her eyes off of me. I fell in love instantly and knew right away that we had imprinted on each other. Three years later, I truly believe that Indie Pie has come back to me through Lucy. She is glued to me and we have the same connection. She even smiles at me, shows her teeth and all. And thinking back to when I stopped seeing Indie Pie’s image was in August of that year, that’s when Lucy was born, August 2.

I'm sorry man. Poor guy! He's happy now and still with you. I can't imagine loosing my Shepard Luna she's 3. She's my best friend we adopted a Staffordshire pit also he's 1 and he had a leg amputated. But they are funny together can't imagine loosing them. They are all I have. Praying for you and Jake man. Hang in there. Gotta get a new pup please!!

[@SESinsyt]

I'm sorry for your loss 😢. If Jake doesn't end up visiting, it could be because you made him so happy and comfortable that he didn't need to stick around. You'll see each other again ❤. Also, don't feel bad about the length of time it takes to decide to get a new dog/s. Some people feel better getting a new pet quickly after a loss, some people take a really long time. Any way you grieve and cope is okay and doesn't change the love you two shared.

[@jme928]

No one’s getting through this episode without tears. Every one of us here can relate. ❤😢

[@nomadsqd]

So sorry for your loss, John. Jake will always be with you.

[@NEKOYASHX]

Cool topic

[@lisabrady9083]

Not a dry eye in the house after listening to all the folks Jon that care about you & your Jake. I loved hearing his voice at end of podcast. That boy will be there when it's your time to cross over. But way before that happens Jake will send you another pup when the time is right. Love to all of you boys❤️

[@Pinball_Babe]

Just hearing the introduction brought tears to my eyes.❤❤😢

[@SteamedRice-s2f]

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your loving friend Jake. I have lost a dog as well to a ruptured splenic mass. I 've been an LVT for 25 years and this is a heart breaking condition that unfortunately has a grim prognosis. Just know in your heart you did all that you could for him and he knows that as well. They stay in our hearts always.❤🙏💝

[@jaredcearley6764]

You guys are doing such a great job stay original stay true this is what podcasting needs love you all so much and y'all are so awesome y'all are genuine and kind keep doing what you're doing great things will happen

[@frankcurtis9634]

Cathartic episode. Instant classic and really just allowed me to process how much I still miss my boy Heinrich who passed a year and a 1/2 ago. Jake will be missed, so sorry for your loss 😢

[@alidapretorius7239]

Go well, Jake! You are SO loved.

[@UrsaMaj0r148]

❤ Jake ❤ Worst thing in the world was watching my oldest daughter have to deal with her furst (get it) best friends death; my black cat Adonis that I had long before she was born. He looked after her, kept her safe, played with her. It was gut-wrenching, but it was his time. He will be in our dreams a lot of times, he was a big black cat who acted more like a dog in some ways. There's something about black cats. He had kidney problems at the end and it went fast and he just wasn't happy or spry and the last night he slept in the closet and he's never done that, he knew it was time. I'm so sorry for your loss ❤️

[@robyngrogan7647]

I worked at a Veterinary Clinic for 16 years. I can't imagine how many people I have told that about Dog spilled backwards is God because only they can truly love us. I am so sorry to hear about your loss of Jake. Blessing to you and Jack.

[@bristlecone77]

I am sorry for your loss, Jon. It's all too short no matter how long they live.

[@TiffanyFusini]

I am so sorry about Jake. My heart is with you. ❤

[@meganmccaffrey5066]

Jon, sending you good vibes during your grief.

[@deniseconnolly4385]

I'll have to love you and leave you on this one lads it's too close to the bone for me xx

[@davidgreen7835]

I know what you mean. I had a dog when I was a kid that my step-dad put down, and I feel like I'm still processing it sometimes.

[@deniseconnolly4385]

I'm really sorry to hear that, and I don't think time lessens the pain I hope you feel the dogs energy still and I hope you're stepdad has piles .

[@lara4life656]

I feel that connection with your pain. We lost our baby of 11 years last week.

[@Rodney117]

We lost our Jake back in January from a ruptured mass. Still not over it. 🙏

[@TiffanyFusini]

This episode is so amazing. I am listening to it with my NEW furry friend, and although it's only been a week, I know I was meant to have this kitten at this time in my life. Jon, I know you will see your best friend again. ❤❤❤

[@meyouandawiener]

I'm so sorry for your loss John. This was a very emotional episode to listen to. Run free with your squirrel frens Jake ❤

[@dianafausto1114]

I am so sorry that you lost Jake. I love dogs, and this is very sad. Thank you for sharing the story. What a beautiful dog.

[@Sherlock1558_]

I know this is a show about losing a beloved pet, but what I took away from it was three brothers that really love each other. It was nice

[@jaspersilence9328]

You WILL be with him again,because Love is the only thing that follows us across...head up,my friend!

[@lindsaystephenson5120]

My heart breaks for you John. I had to let my little guy of 16 years go at the end of October. After so many years with them, it literally changes your life and you have to learn how to live without them. I so relate to your troubles coming home. That was the hardest part. I would go to work or just out of the house and would procrastinate coming back home because it hurt so much coming in and not having him waiting at the door for me, or hearing his claws on the wood floor. One of my biggest break downs came from just loading the dishwasher because I was so used to him being there and trying to kick the dirty silverware. You just never imagine exactly how much they are apart of every minute of your time at home until they’re gone. My thoughts are with you, and your brothers, I’m sure Jake was family to them as well.❤

[@pollydoom5039]

pets are a beautiful experience. I'm positive our friends are going to be there waiting in us.

[@lady-aries-wolfy]

Rest Well Jake. Please take the time you need to heal Jon. I have no experience, but this entire vid made me cry while I was eating soup. Please support your brother guys, and Jon, I believe Jake will continue to look out for you. Even the most hardest times, he will look out for ya. Thanks for sharing everyone’s stories and experiences. I pray for y’all to have a successful and healthy future. Please takes things easy guys.

[@Jan-vw6tu]

Oh my God, talk about a burst of totally completely pure natural from the soul. Just a burst of joy and believe in relief, the story about the dog, the young one and the HR and the dream with the dog that's talking and saying, that's so cool. I've completely untold and leave. Believe that I am like exalting in and relief and belief. And the truth, fullness of it and tears down. I'm terrible just bursting out of me. But the tears are saying yes, thank you. And I'm glad that that HR woman decided to. We got the nerve up to share that. My day has been made 2 million percent better thanks, you guys?

[@L.C.tv843]

Awwwww!!!! You guys are gonna make me cry bro

[@loribrandon8392]

Pets are family and they are always waiting for us on the other side!

[@debbarringer1967]

I lost my poodle a year ago April 10th of last year. He visits me in my dreams. We were very close. I love when I get to hold him and hug and kiss him again. I wake up so happy. I know when I pass he will be there waiting to be with me again. No doubt. I had a psychic tell me that a small tiger was beside me. I had a striped cat that had passed. When I got home, I asked the cat that passed to tell my current cat to come lay by me. Less than 5 minutes later, my cat came and laid by me. It wasn't something she usually did.

[@mlove7979]

I had a male Siamese-tabby mix cat named Dirk for 19.5 years. Blue cross eyes and a soft pink nose made him extra special and super cute (and im not even a "cat person") he was not like any other cat. He jumped into the car and went places with me, came when I whistle and rode around un my hood of my sweater. He passed peaceful in my arms when I was 36 years old. (I got him at age 17) a few days after he passed I saw him plain as day in the corner of my bathroom just sitting there. It was so incredibly clear. I blinked through my tears and he was gone....again. I know he came to let me know he was OK. And I did feel the energy of thank you. I miss him dearly and think of him often.

[@DoubleWhammy]

I had a dog, a pit bull I'd rescued from the side of the road. Named her snuffy. Had to put her down myself after she got too sick to really move or eat, worst thing I've ever had to do. People don't bother me, but that day had my head fucked up for a good while. The following friday I sat down by where we'd buried her and started talking about how good of girl she was and that she can go and run forever now, she loved sprinting at warp 9 across out pasture at all possible opportunities. Anyway as I sat there, I felt a warm spot next to my leg. It was overcast, windy, and cold and yet this one roughly curled up pit bull sized area next to my leg was very warm. I could literally move my hand in and out of this area and go from cold and windy to warm and windless. Sat there with her for about an hour until she got up and left, I guess, as the warm area dissipated. I've had some wild paranormal experiences but that was the most profound and life changing for me. Physical interaction with a dead dog's ghost. Apparently she hung around my dad's place for a while afterwards, as my two young sisters kept seeing her walking around for a bit.
