Shelby a Great Shelby (Living in
Spirit) – Betty’s Great Dane
The following is a phone conversation
Catherine had with her client Betty about the reading she had.
Catherine:
Shelby came through to me with a
bright & cheerful personality. She was so happy to get the
chance to talk with someone about her mom, Betty.
Here’s what she told me:
 She said to
tell her mom to go ahead and get the puppy that she’s been wanting, but
she also needs to get another dog that’s a little older than the puppy.
The older dog will teach the puppy everything the puppy needs to know
to be a good pup.
Shelby told me that she hated the cat
at first, but after awhile, they became best of friends and are now
together on the other side.
Betty:
Betty agreed that she was worried when she first brought the cat home
because she could tell that Shelby did not like the cat. Betty said
that it took awhile for the two of them to warm up to each other, but
they soon became best of friends.
Catherine:
She said that Betty has been crying a
lot. She said that she also cried a lot when Shelby was alive.
Betty: When
I told Betty this, she agreed that she has been crying a lot &
said I would have no way of knowing that because she had not confided
that to me.
Catherine:
Shelby went on to say that when mom cried a lot during the time that
Shelby was here; Shelby would do funny things to make her laugh. She
did everything she could to get her mind off of whatever it was that
was making her cry. She said the new puppy will make her laugh.
Shelby told me that she had a lot of
different food and water bowls over the years but she remembers a big
silver water bowl. She said that mom had a lot of trouble with the food
& water bowls. Raising them off the floor was a problem at
first.
Betty
agreed that she had had a lot of different bowls over the years
& that several of them were probably silver. She disagreed, at
first, about having problems with the raising the bowls. She said they
were always raised. But then, as we talked more, she remembered the
first time she realized that Shelby needed them raised. Shelby looked
like a giraffe trying to bend down to eat her food. Her legs were all
spread out. Betty had to scramble to find something to put the food
bowl on. She ended up finding a water bucket that she turned over
& put the bowl on top of it for Shelby to eat out of.
Catherine:
Shelby told me that when Betty first
got her, Shelby tore up the yard & it made Betty mad, but then,
after awhile, Betty just gave up and was okay with it.
Betty
laughed when I mentioned this and agreed that she had been mad at
first, but decided it was no use. She’d rather have Shelby than a nice
yard.
Shelby ran in the yard a lot &
she use to love to chase the cat until she got too old.
Betty
agreed.
Catherine: Shelby
went on to tell me how she died and that it was because the other dog
that was in the house jumped on her & broke her back. She said
the other dog didn’t know its own strength and felt very, very bad
about what had happened for a long time.
Shelby told me that she is now with
the other dog and both of them are doing just fine. She said the other
dog knows that Betty is sorry for holding a grudge against her all that
time. She wants Betty to know that she understands & is not
upset or mad at Betty.
Betty
said that she held a grudge against the other dog for a long, long
time. Even up to the time of the dog’s death, she still held a grudge.
But after the dog died, she started feeling bad and had wished the dog
was still there so she could tell her she was sorry for being so mad at
her and for holding a grudge. It made Betty feel better to know that
the dog has forgiven her.
Catherine: She
also told me that Betty used to dress her up in hats. She said that
Betty still has some of the hats. She loved the hats & the
puppy will too.
Betty:
Again, Betty laughed while remembering
how she used to dress Shelby up all the time. She would always dress
her up for Halloween and said there was no way that I would’ve known
that, so it had to come from Shelby.
Catherine:
Shelby said that she is coming back in this lifetime to be with Betty
again & that when she does, Betty will know it.
Shelby asked me to tell Betty that she
loves her very much and that she knows that Betty did everything she
could for her. It was hard for Shelby to leave, but it was something
she had to do. She wants Betty to know that even though she’s not there
physically, she’s still with her in spirit and she hears Betty every
time she talks to her.
