I had the same sort of dreams; after awhile I took them as signs that she wasn't really too far away.And I know how it is - when my dog died earlier this year, I didn't want to believe it, and I kept having dreams where she was alive and well. I didn't want to go home that weekend because I'd have to see her empty dog bed and her collar, and know that she wasn't coming back...but when I came home for a visit later on, I went out and sat by her grave for a little while, and it was rather comforting - as if she was just lying on her favorite pillow and looking up at me as if to ask "What are you looking at?" (She was a sweet dog, but like most German shorthaired pointers, she kind of had an ego.)


And even though the ending was a tad anti climatic, I liked the message that life goes on, just in a different form ("One day it's an ocean, one day ice in motion, one day it's a tear drop in your eye"). As much as I love the Mr. Hooper episode of Sesame Street, I was disapointed that they made death seem so final. I mean I know kids all have different beliefs and that should be respected, but to end up saying nothing felt wrong to me too. ::shrugs::
