I wrote this blog to share my experiences, insights and synchronicites surrounding pet loss, signs from the afterlife and reincarnation.
The video and blog below showcase what has transpired on the journey I've shared with my dog, Rina. Everyone will probably have a different interpretation, but my hope is that it gives a little comfort to those who are struggling through the loss of their pet.

Rina's heartbeat just before it stopped.

Rina was my 13 year old golden/lab mix. She was happy-go-lucky, and always had a smile on her face. Her favorite activity was delivering packages left at our front gate. She adored the UPS driver! She also had a love of shoes… mostly just carrying them around... I often found them outside. Her sense of humor was a constant source of joy. She thought it was funny to steal my TV remote. All these traits play a role in this journey as highlighted in the video above. |
Rina was the catalyst that brought us to Ricochet’s work. The path I’ve been on with my dogs has been very spiritual and full of synchronicities.
But, I never really thought much about reincarnation, besides having read "A Dog's Purpose" several years ago. I didn’t see the synchronization at the time, but the author, W. Bruce Cameron wrote the Foreward for Ricochet's book: Riding a Wave of Hope with the Dog Who Inspires Millions. Little did I know Bruce’s fictitious story would become Rina’s non-fiction life. I believe our connection with him was for a much greater purpose... A Dog's Purpose!

The end was just the beginningRina had laryngeal paralysis for about a year when her breathing became a crisis the Friday of Memorial day weekend in 2016. She was sedated and ended up in critical care with aspiration pneumonia.
The doctor’s kept talking about euthanasia. But, I wanted to give her a chance to recover. During those couple days, I told Rina that we could let her body decide if it no longer wanted to be on earth. This way, neither she, nor I had to make the heart wrenching decision. By Memorial Day her body could no longer carry her spirit. She quietly left us with a smile on her face. Rina’s spirit was full of life and wasn’t ready to leave. I knew she would always be with me because life force energy never dies; only the physical body which carries the soul leaves this earthly plane. But losing her physical presence still left me barren. I felt incomplete, unsettled, emotionally raw. But, I wasn’t surprised when Rina started sending me signs within a half hour of her body’s passing. |
On the way home from the hospital that last day, I went through the drive through at McDonalds and ordered a medium fries. I paid at the first window, but when I got home, I was like “where are my fries”. Seems I followed the car ahead of me at the second window and forgot to stop. The last memory of Rina before she went to the hospital was her eating a couple french fries that my neighbor gave her. She was showing me her spirit was still here through the fries!
I grieved pretty hard for the first week, but her daily signs gave me so much comfort. Her energy was extremely powerful. I felt tremendously blessed to continue my relationship with her. Although it wasn’t a physical one, it was probably stronger than it had ever been.
If we have an open mind, spend time in the moment and pay attention to details, the signs are always there (scroll down for some of the signs I received). But, if your despair is so intense, it can create a barrier between you and your treasured pet. They want to give you signs, but sometimes they can’t penetrate the thick wall of grief. Making a change in our perspective can help us see what we have gained… not what we’ve lost.

In the video below, Dr. Brian Weiss and Oprah discuss animal reincarnation.
After a couple days I had a profound “knowing” deep within my soul that Rina was coming back and we would be reunited. I was never so certain about anything in my life. I embraced it and held close to the notion that we are not bodies with a soul....we are souls with a body.
A Glorious Unfolding

I wasn’t planning to get another dog because I always felt guilty leaving Rina home when I took Ricochet surfing. So I figured I would just keep Ricochet as an only dog for a couple more years.
But, one day I made a comment to a fellow service dog trainer that at some point, I’d like to get another golden/lab mix. A couple days later she sent me an email stating that a guide dog organization had contacted her to see if they wanted a golden/lab puppy from a litter due in September. They didn’t have a trainer available so they declined, but told them about me and my non profit, Puppy Prodigies. This opportunity just fell in my lap with no effort on my part. Rina originally came to me from a service dog organization. Nothing short of synchronistic, it was interesting that she now chose another service dog organization for her rebirth. I felt certain that she would be coming back more powerful than ever because our work together wasn’t finished. |
September 16, 2016
The golden/lab litter was born on Friday, September 16. As synchronicity would have it, there was a harvest moon that evening.
The following Friday, I went to see the puppies who were now a week old. Most of the books I read on reincarnation said you will know when your pet finds you again. I was eager to see if Rina’s spirit was in this litter. But, I also wondered if a week old puppy would know who I was.
Rina liked essential oils and frankincense was her favorite. So, I put some on my wrist and put it in front of each pup’s nose as I picked them up. I tried it with about six puppies and they all either turned their nose away or paid no interest.
When I took the 7th puppy in my hands, she was flailing her arms like someone who was really excited. At the same time, tears welled up in my eyes, and every cell in my body felt like it was vibrating with an incredibly powerful universal energy. It was like electricity was going through my body... goosebumps everywhere. It was profound.
I then put my wrist in front of her. She didn't turn her head away like the other pups did. Instead she sniffed it, and then laid her head on my wrist. She kept burrowing into the scrubs I was wearing to get closer to my heart.
At one point, I turned her around to the video camera and said “say hi to everyone” because Rina would bark if I asked her to do that. After a couple seconds the puppy opened her mouth as if to say “hi”. You can see it in the video below.

Another thing that Rina was known for was her smile. This pup “smiled” several times. I knew my girl was back!
I went to visit the puppy again when she was five weeks old. She started out sniffing my wrist, but I forgot to put the frankincense oil on... but she was looking for it! Then, she cuddled up to my face. She got down from my lap to get a drink of water, and then came back, tucked her head next to my foot and fell asleep.
She was still sleeping when I got up to leave. When I was on the other side of the puppy pen, she actually got up, and put her front paws on top of the ledge that was there to look for me.
I felt so blessed to have this experience. I don't know how I got so lucky to have a dog reincarnation, but I am filled with gratitude.

Animals afterlifeI brought the puppy home on November 2nd, and of course there was synchronicity surrounding it. November 2nd is Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead). A costumed female with a skeleton face called La Catrina has become associated with the Day of the Dead. The San Francisco Mexican museum even held an event called "La Catrina: Keeping the Spirits Alive". Notice “Rina” is in the name La Catrina! |
|
My friend Jen and her daughters MJ and Lexi came with to pick up the puppy. It was a two hour drive, so we went through McDonald’s drive-thru.
I was handing everyone their order, and said “whose fries are these”. Everyone already had their fries. This was an extra order. All our jaws dropped because the day Rina’s body left, I got home from McDonalds drive-thru and didn’t have my fries! Synchronicity at its best! The day had even more synchronicities. As we were walking into the building, it was really windy. We made a comment about hurricane Katrina. When we came back out with the puppy, there was no wind. Then, a vulture flew above us... The vulture represents birth and death as well as new beginnings. This is an effective and positive animal totem. It represents energy. |
Synchronicity at its best

Within an hour of being home, my neighbor, Ashley wanted to see if the puppy would pick up a package like Rina did. This video shows what happened. |
Then, MJ tested the shoe theory |
|
|
|
And then there's this
Side-by-side of Cori at 7 weeks & Rina at 8 weeks.

A comparison of Rina and Cori's eyes |
Mirror image: Cori has a gold muzzle with
white on the top of her head... and Rina had a white muzzle with gold on the top of her head. |

We named the puppy Corina (Cori for short) because I kept seeing signs with the name Karina, Korina and other variations. So did other people.
Cori has many of Rina's traits. She gets so excited for packages, was interested in shoes immediately and was very comfortable with the remote control. None of these behaviors were taught to her. I specifically wanted to observe her behavior before I started training. She also knows things that she shouldn't know. Like giving her paw the first time she was ever asked. Or having a great "leave it" without me teaching it to her. Or a default site at dinner time. Or knowing words that Rina knew. Or a host of other things that happen on a daily basis. What really blew my mind is that she was 7 weeks old when she carried an envelope up the driveway and brought it to the house. How would she know where the envelope was supposed to go? How did she maneuver both the package and the stairs without having done either before? The video to the left shows her carrying the envelope. |
|
This is another video of Cori carrying a box |
Cori's passion for packages transcends our realm. |
Really? Cori takes a shoe outside!
Really? Cori takes a shoe outside!
It's pretty evident that Cori's body holds Rina's spirit, and I see more of it each day. But even so, Cori has her own traits and personality. Since I've never experiened anything like this before, I can get overwhelmed, or even confused by what my impression of reincarnation was, and what it's manifesting as.
If you're hoping to get a clone of your pet... that isn't what happens... at least it didn't for me. It's the same soul, and it appears they remember things from their past life, and do a lot of the same things. But, the relationship isn't the same because they've come back to continue their purpose.
I truly believe animals are here to teach us lessons. We just have to listen. So, although I will be training Cori as my service dog, and she'll be involved in our non-profit, Puppy Prodigies, community outreach and therapy dog work, I will give her the freedom to be who she truly is. I will honor what she has come to teach me and others this time around. I'm eager for her to show me what she was specifically born to do, just like Ricochet has.
If I can help you in any way with my experiences, please email me at pawinspired@aol.com.
Signs & Synchronicities in the Afterlife
I've always believed that our loved ones send us signs from the afterlife. It's happened to me when family members have passed. But, Rina sent me signs every single day. Sometimes they were smaller things like butterflies or dragonflies. Other times they were more significant things things like seeing her image, or hearing her bark. There were also other people in our Facebook group who received signs from Rina. It was always heartwarming to see someone post what sign they received that day.
If you have an open mind, spend time in the moment and pay attention to details, the signs are always there. But, if your despair is so intense, it can create a barrier between you and your treasured pet. They want to give you signs, but sometimes they can’t penetrate the thick wall of grief. Making a change in our perspective can help us see what we have gained… not what we’ve lost.
You may hear a song on the radio, or see a street name that has relevence to your pet. Watch for billboards, songs on the radio, people you happen across that have the same name. Don't get discouraged if you haven't seen a sign. Just be more aware of your surroundings. Often the sign is simple and subtle, but you will know it's them.
I've included some of the signs I received below. I hope they help you see the signs your pet is trying to share with you.

On the way home from the hospital that last day, I went through the drive through at McDonalds and ordered a medium fries. I paid at the first window, but when I got home, I was like “where are my fries”. Seems I followed the car ahead of me at the second window and forgot to stop. The last memory of Rina before she went to the hospital was her eating a couple french fries that my neighbor gave her. She was showing me her spirit was still here through the fries!

I don't typically see butterflies in my yard, but I saw a white one like this today. I looked up the meaning...
Butterflies are a common sign from deceased loved one, and seeing butterflies shortly after losing a loved one is a common sign from beyond the physical. Sometimes angels will send butterflies to comfort and reassure you that the soul of your loved one lives on. A passed over loved one may utilize the Butterfly to send their message to you of love and joy, letting you know they are safe, happy and in the hands of angels, and other times your loved one may put some of their soul essence into a butterfly to actually connect with your physically once again. Butterflies will often gather around soul mates.
They also represent new realities both in the physical and in the world of spirit. The opening of new doors and new opportunities presenting themselves. The freeing of self limitations. The next chapter in one's life.

My journey with Rina started in Chicago. That's where I originally lived. I've wanted to bring her back to visit her favorite places and people for a long time. She hated flying, so it never worked out. But now I thought bringing some of her ashes back to sprinkle around our old house would be a nice way to honor her.
The only possible time I was able to go was on June 20th, and stay for 13 days. June 20th was the date Rina came to me as an 8 week old puppy. How cool is it that 13 years to the date she arrived as a puppy in Chicago is the same date her ashes arrived? And staying for 13 days... that's how old Rina was when her body left. No coincidences. Rina wanted to visit Chicago!

An Instagram account called Nina Bina tagged Ricochet today. I don't know this person, so not sure why we were tagged except that I called Rina... Rina Bina.

June 20th is a full moon and summer solstice. That's the day some of Rina's ashes will be arriving back in Chicago where our journey began. She arrived in Chicago as an 8 week old puppy on June 20th, 2003.
The Summer Solstice and Full Moon only align once every 30 years. The sun and moon work hand in hand, making it a very powerful day. It's the longest day of the year... a day that is believed to hold the greatest energy, prosperity, vitality and strength.
And not only that, the summer solstice occurs at 5:34 pm in Chicago. Our plane arrives at 5:29 pm.
There is something way more powerful than me planning this trip!! Empowering. No coincidences. We're traveling on June 20th for a reason.

So yesterday when I was driving through an intersection with Ricochet in the car, I saw a transparent, opaque mist kind of thing. It wasn't exhaust because it was several feet in front of the cars that were stopped. It was only there for a split second. Of course I thought of Rina, but I was like "why would you be at an intersection". This morning, the thought came to me... she wasn't at an intersection, she was at a crossroads with me & Ricochet.

This morning I asked Rina to show me what we're supposed to do on June 20th when we arrive in Chicago. I went through a Jack-in-the box drive through, again for some fries. The car ahead of me was a pickup truck. I didn't pay much attention to it, but did notice they had a license plate frame that said "Vietnam veteran". When I got to the 1st window to pay, the clerk said the car in front of me already paid for me. I only got a glimpse of the woman inside. I didn't know her.
The next day I got an invitation to attend a disabled veterans archery competition while in Chicago.
So, not only is there a military connection, but the organization that is hosting it is called the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago. The acronym for it is RIC. That's what I call Ricochet for short. No coincidence there. The other thing is, I used to work for this organization when I lived in Chicago. Again, no coincidence. I'm not sure what the archery part of it is, but love all the serendipity!
The spiritual meaning of bow & arrow is... The arrow as a symbol of spiritual output is an extremely apt choice. The arrow goes unbelievable fast especially if shot from a crossbow. The arrow can also symbolise, by extension the Higher spirit’s ability to travel in the spiritual world at ‘high speed’. In fact to all intents and purposes, travel from one ‘place’ to another, or communication with other composers happens instantaneously.

Last night in my sleep, I felt something moving on top of the bed. Then, my left foot felt like someone was laying on it, but had just gotten up. It was a little painful like it would be after Rina was laying on it for a while. It wasn’t Ricochet because she was on the floor and a couple minutes later she got on the bed. I’m pretty sure it was Rina lying in bed with me.
June 15
At lunch with West. Look who is here. His name is Cardinal, a retired service dog. Cardinals are signs as well. Hmmmm.
June 21
Today was a very powerful day. Hung out with a good friend in Chicago. We went to a forest preserve we used to go to with Rina. We were sitting on a picnic bench and a small mixed breed dog came and sat by me. His dad was calling him from a ways away, but he didn't listen. This went on for about 15 minutes. I was half kidding when I said "this must be Rina and she wants a treat." So I gave him a treat. Then the dad came to the table and was still trying to get him to come. I said, "call him Rina".
He didn't ask why, he just called out "Rina". The dog snapped his head & turned in the direction of his dad like he understood the name & was responding to it.
Then a golden came up to Susan. Again half jokingly, I said "that's probably Saki", a dog she lost several years ago. Susan took the dog's face in her hands and said "are you Saki?" The dog lifted his paw and reached it out to touch her arm. It brought her to tears.
It was a beautiful day and beautiful reunion with insights gained. Thank you Rina!!
June 26
We were at the mall looking at the directory. Other people were looking too. One of them called out to another saying... Rina...!
June 29
We were driving and all of a sudden the radio cut into this song (goodie two shoes), but nobody touched the buttons

The circle of life... This is Ian's service dog, Nutella. They asked if I could watch her while they vacation in Greece. Ricochet helped Ian, and now Ian is helping Ricochet by giving her a 24/7 playmate!
I'm sure Rina had a paw in orchestrating this. Nutella is a golden/lab mix like Rina, and she came from Canine Companion for Independence... The same organization Rina is from.

With all the toys we have around this house, what toy do you think Nutella picked to play with?... A shoe!
July 10
Rabbits. Lots of rabbits. I went to a neighborhood trail that I often took Ricochet & Rina to. As I approached, three rabbits stopped in the middle, looked at me, then scampered away. A few minutes later there was another one that let me get about 4 feet in front of him. Others were running by. I probably saw about 10 bunnies.
Part of an interpretation I found online of the rabbit is... fertility & rebirth.
July 11
Call me crazy, but it just sounded like Rina barking. Both Ricochet and Nutella (Ian's service dog that I'm watching) are outside. They told me Nutella doesn't bark, even on command. Ric was barking, but I could have sworn I heard two dogs barking. Hmmmm. I did get two feather signs from Rina today.

Nutella came up to me while I was on the computer. I could tell she was trying to tell me something, but I didn't know what. So I got up and looked out the window. There was a package at the end of the driveway. Inside was this new urn for the majority of Rina's ashes. Rina is still delivering packages!!

This is the medicine wheel I've been building. Rina definitely had a paw in it's location! I have a lot of trees on my property, so it was hard to find an area that was open to the sky. This spot was where Rina would go every morning to roll around.
July 15
You know how dogs turn around several times before lying down? Well, last night Nutella was sleeping next to me in bed. Around 2am, she stood up, which woke me up. She turned a few times and laid back down. But, I saw a yellow, opaque Rina turning with her at the same time. It was only a couple seconds... but it was magical. Thanks Rina!!
July 17
Aw, Nutella just carried an empty Snapple carton to the garbage like Rina used to do. Well, she didn't go down the stairs, but still. Melissa said Nutella hasn't helped with the garbage before, so I'm thinking there was some channeling going on! Thank you Rina and Nutella!!

Nutella hasn't laid on this bed until today. It makes me sad cuz that's how Rina laid on it. I will make myself feel better by saying Rina is channeling her. She really could be mistaken for Rina in this pic.

So Jen, MJ & Lexi are here. Nutella was acting like Rina so I asked the girls what did Rina do that would prove she was channeling Nutella. MJ said "whisper" which is when Rina would do a silent bark. This video shows what happened when MJ asked Nutella to do it. Note: Nutella wasn't taught how to whisper.

Ok you guys... This is bizarre. There is this round reflection on my wall. But there is nothing round from where the reflection is coming from. It's not the CD on the bottom shelf cuz we removed it & the circle was still there. In fact, when MJ first put her hand over the circle, it flickered. Not sure what Rina is trying to tell us. But thank you Rina, we love you!

This photo has a sunbeam coming all the way down from the sky. It's like Rina is running with Ricochet!

I had some kind of somethings in my room around 2am last night. I woke up and saw two "things". They were white, non specific shapes. One was big like a bear. The other was about the size of a grapefruit. They sort of flickered and remained for about 20 minutes even when I sat up. They didn't disappear until I turned the light on. I was kind of spooked, but more from having the ability to see them, than actually seeing them.

We're at a dog festival & this woman's name is Rina!
August 24
Wow you guys! I posted earlier saying that Rina's sign of the day was me realizing her name is in the word reincarnation. But "Rina nation" is in it too!

Rina has been channeling Ricochet for the last 4 days. When I call her in at night, she doesn't want to come in. She'll move from wherever she is and go on Rina's bed under the porch. She doesn't lay on that bed any other time. "Rina... it's time to come home!"

Rina sent me a penny from heaven for my birthday. It's pretty scratched up, but I think it is a 2013... And she was 13. No coincidence.
September 3
Was at a psychic fair. A huge butterfly, the largest I’ve ever seen flew around. Then, a woman named Serena was called out loud for her appointment.
September 4
I took a nap tonight and woke about 8:30. Just as I was waking up I saw & heard Rina jump off the bed. Only a split second and she was in steam form. I believe more and more every day with all these signs she's been sending me.
September 5
As soon as I opened my eyes this morning, Rina’s face flashed before me!
September 9
For the last three days a hummingbird has flown onto the porch. I don't remember seeing hummingbirds on my property, and I have no flowers. I know this little bird is a sign from Rina, but I don't know what the message is yet.
P.S. When I posted this photo, I didn't even realize it was made by kaRINA!!!
The definition of KA is a spiritual entity, an aspect of the individual, believed to live within the body during life and to survive it after death. So maybe Rina's message is, she wants to be named Karina when she comes back. I continued to get signs that had the KaRina name in them.

Another Karina sign! This time Makena's grandma was fixing her hair and grabbed a hair band. Makena surfed with Ricochet on Sunday!

Another Karina sighting by Cindy. I've totally lost count of how many "Karina" signs there have been!
November 2
My friend Jen and her daughters MJ and Lexi came with to pick up the puppy. It was a two hour drive, so we went through McDonald’s drive-thru.
I was handing everyone their order, and said “whose fries are these”. Everyone already had their fries. This was an extra order.
All our jaws dropped because the day Rina’s body left, I got home from McDonalds drive-thru and didn’t have my fries! Synchronicity at its best!

Books about pet afterlife & Reincarnation
I've found a lot of comfort in these books and the signs that Rina sent me. I believe all our loved ones send us signs. We just have to believe, be open and be aware.
