What kind of place would the spirit world be if there were no animals in it?

I have communicated with animals in the spirit world, and most mediums I know of have had some experiences with doing so, though it's a little tougher to convey messages from them - communication with animals is very much about "feeling" rather than "speaking". My guides have told me that, too, many of us have a big crowd of animals in the spirit world who have been our companions in lives before, waiting for us to come home, just as in the Rainbow Bridge poem. I've even said hello to one of mine. Of course we can have animal soulmates as well as human soulmates, who we have bonded with in lifetimes before this one. Perhaps your very special friend was one to you.

I'm sorry for your loss. I'm sure she is still with you, even if you can no longer feel her there.
