My experience with Capella was incredibly emotional, as I was still trying to process the sudden loss of our beloved boy, Tao. The communication helped put things into perspective and brought me a sense of comfort during a very difficult time.
One thing that particularly stayed with me was when Capella told me that Tao was ready to come back, and that he said he “wasn’t done with our family yet.” Those words meant more to me than I can explain, and they helped me find the courage to move forward and open my heart to welcoming another dog into our family.
That dog is Kai, and some of the things that have happened since bringing him home have been quite remarkable. He immediately knew where the water bowl was, and he refused to sleep in the cardboard box we were using as a temporary crate for nighttime house training. Instead, he tipped it over and went to sleep under our bed, in the very spot where Tao used to sleep when he wanted to be in our room (it's also worth noting that despite not being house trained before we got him, he 'magically' knew where to go potty). As Kai grows, we are also noticing physical similarities to Tao, along with little quirks and behaviours that remind us so much of him. Kai, like Tao, also doesn't like birds!
The whole experience was deeply meaningful. Capella helped me see things differently at a time when I was heartbroken and struggling to move forward. It gave me courage, hope, and the reassurance I needed to open my heart again.
I am incredibly grateful to Capella for the compassion, insight and wisdom she brought to such an emotional experience. It has stayed with me, and I will always treasure the role she played in my journey from losing Tao to welcoming Kai into our lives.
