She is deceased, crossed over/passed away/died on June 10, 2015. The signs from her in the afterlife started about a month later after my grief began to subside. That is what continued to make her special in her afterlife. There have been amazing cloud formations that appeared that looked like her, and even one cloud that took up the entire sky and has the dark area of both Tory and Iris - the puppy she "sent" me after she passed - being at her right side.
On a normal day, she was playful and quiet, only barking if the doorbell rang. She had a way about her when we went for walks, a calming effect on other dogs. When she approached another dog that the owner was in fear that my Tory would get bit or chased, Tory would slowly and methodically approach the other dog and almost put it in a hypnotic trance until she got real close, then the other formerly "mean" dog would become docile and friendly toward her! Very unique and unusual.
She always went with me everywhere, and in the car she rode on my left shoulder watching out the car window. Short trips to the store or long trips of 200 miles, it was her favorite place.
When at home or walking around the mall or a trade show, her favorite place was a snuggle inside my shirt. At seven pounds, she fit nicely in my shirt or my jacket.
Tory would fetch anything she could. She loved the squirrels and chipmunks at the hospital courtyard, which was her favorite thing to do. I've got videos of her being face to face with the little creatures that she loved, but as a kind hearted being that would never harm them.
She led me to my new puppy that I named Iris in memory of Tory, and because of the U2 song of the same name. It was a song that I never downloaded and never heard before, but suddenly appeared in my playlist one day. "The star, that gives us light, has been gone a while, but it's not an illusion ... the ache in my heart, is so much a part of who I am, hold me close, something in your eyes took a thousand years to get here, hold me close, the time just lets us see who we are, I've got your life inside of me. Iris, Iris. Once we are born, we begin to forget the very reason we came, we'll be meeting up again, hold me close and don't let me go."
I named my new puppy Iris, and I was told by a psychic that the spirit of Tory would be with her. When I got her, I then found out she had a blue and a brown iris! Tory is with us both, as we continue our journeys, always next to my heart.
