In March 2019, our beloved Golden Retriever, Noah, passed away from cancer of the spleen. I wrote about it here. Not long afterward, I had a reading with animal communicator Heather Bristol and a year later, after we’d started our podcast, she was a guest on The Mystical Underground.
During that reading with Heather, she mentioned that Noah had been with us before – as a squirrel in our backyard and as one of our cats. The inter-species reincarnation is a detail some animal communicators don’t believe in and I loved the fact that Heather did. After all, why not? She believes that human and animal souls can choose whatever physical form they want. And Noah as a squirrel made a kind of intuitive sense. His greatest passions were chasing Frisbees – and squirrels.
Whenever he spotted a squirrel scrambling up a tree or along the fence, his barking was the clarion call to every other dog in the park to join him in the chase. None of them ever caught a squirrel and the squirrels made fun of them, scampering higher into the branches where even a dog with wings couldn’t catch them.
So yes. Yes, I could imagine Noah as a squirrel in our backyard.
Noah as one of the many cats we’ve had over the years? Sure.
When I asked if Noah would return to us at some point, Heather said he would.But maybe not as a dog.
I’m vigilant. And waiting. So are Nigel and Nika.
