The phone rang. It was Janine. She and Darryl decided today was the day. She was hoping that I was available to help balance Digby's energy systems so that she would easily transition out of her body. I assured her I would come over at once.

I’ve known Digby since she was just a puppy at four months. We had a really special connection and I considered her my canine niece. She always greeted me with her special smile which, according to Janine and Darryl, was only reserved for those who were especially close to her.

During the last few hours that we had together, I was able to use energy therapy to balance her energy system to ensure these channels were open and intact. I created a sacred space by bridging her heart and throat chakras so that she could hear her Mum’s, Janine’s, and Darryl's favourite stories, memories, their love for her, and thanking her for the teachings and gifts she brought to their lives.

When they had finished their tribute, Digby told me that she understood that she was leaving her body but couldn’t understand why her Mum and Darryl were weeping and saying goodbye. She asked me, “Don’t they know I’ll be going home with them, just not in my body - that I’ll still be with them?”

I explained. "Humans can’t see past the physical body; we can’t touch, see or hear things that have left the physical world. Even though her Mum and Darryl know your energy will always be present, they need to grieve the loss of you in your physical form." Digby flashed me her special smile and asked me to tell her humans that she loved them and to thank them for a really great and fun life together.

Soon it was time for me to leave and for Janine and Darryl to release Digby from her body.

A part of me will always be with Digby and I am grateful that I was there to say my last farewell and provide the family with some closure and peace.
