Have you ever had a Rainbow Bridge pet come back to visit you?

Oh my, these stories bring on the LES big time.

Sadly, I've never really experienced this at all except right after my Speckles made the trip. I was sort of in a half asleep, half awake stage and thought I could feel her trying to get underneath the covers. I woke up......then fell apart.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Slick, I'm like you, I'm still waiting for Tubby to "come to me." But I think it's like Glacier said, he lived a good long life and died peacefully. He told me ahead of time that it was time to go, so there's not much reason for him to come back to reassure me....although I wish he would.

But in other ways, he has never left. Terry and I both have our screen savers set to show pictures from the My Pictures file. Needless to say, Tubby pops up quite often and when we're around to notice, we always say ""Hi Tubby. How ya doin' big boy?" Also, it was always kind of a joke with us that we'd get Tubby & Peanut there own Class C motorhome to follow us around in. A few weeks back we were at a motorhome show and I don't how many times it popped out of our mouths "Oh look, that one would be perfect for Tubby & Peanut." At first I thought I'd correct Terry and tell him "You mean Peanut & Cracker Jack" but I held my tongue and it was kind of fun going on as if he were still here.

Also, in some ways I know he's here "coming through" CJ. Sometimes CJ will do things he normally doesn't do and something that Tubby would do all the time. Totally throws me off guard and I pick CJ up and smooch on him and tell him about his brother then put him down, and next thing you know he's back to being CJ again. So no, he has never "come to me" but he has never really left either, and that makes me happy.
