An unexpected snap of a twig. A branch moving.

My sweet pups stopped and still....at high alert.
They saw something I did not. Waiting and watching.

Ghosts.

They visit me in my dreams at night. It's not often I find them in the morning.

She was there.
I know it.
I saw her.
I think - yes I'm quite sure - that that's what she intended.

I wiped away a sad tear. I knew she was beyond me.

She nodded.
I nodded back.
She smiled.
I did my best to smile too.
I wanted to reassure her.

And just like that - she turned. She disappeared.
Her beautiful white tail bobbing behind her.

One minute with me...the next not.
Perhaps - I only imagined?

My sweet pups saw her...when I did not.
They know nothing of ghosts. Only we do.
