Billy Bob’s Tending Space

9/28/26 at 4:30pm is the day my sweet boy transitioned. I had taken an animal communicator class the year before to connect with Billy Bob because his health was declining. I was able to connect to others’ animals and was having trouble connecting to my own. A few months leading up to his physical departure, I was actively trying to connect with him. I received some distorted images but just couldn’t make sense of it.

On his last day, we got up early to go on a hike. Before I took off his leash I said to myself, “this is the last time you’ll see that look so pay attention”. I took a breath. He picked up a scent, got that hyper-focused look in his eye, wagged his tail, took off, and just looked so, so happy. I love this look.

When we pulled into the vet’s office, I managed to stay grounded, the waves came, I road over the top of them, held him, breathed, grounded, more waves, and then 45-minutes later he died. I told myself I could break when he was no longer in his physical body. I didn’t want him to have to take care of me like he had done every night that week when I cried myself to sleep. However, the moment he transitioned, I felt him go. I loosened my grip, stood up, and immediately saw him in a bird’s eye view weaving through trails with that look. I knew he was telling me he was ok, the tears stopped, and I felt a wave of peace come over me. That was the most beautiful gift.

That week, he visited in dreams, yoga, during a meditation, in the backyard, on a hike, at the dog park, in the car, at dinner, and he sent me so many signals. He motivated me to review my animal communicator class, read books on it, practice, make healthy choices to “raise my vibrations”, watch videos on clearing chakras, and other woo woo stuff I never thought I’d be into. Billy Bob taught me how to receive communication.
