In Loving Memory
Murphy Brown Fritz
July 28, 1998 – March 8, 2012
“Dogs don’t make our lives better, they make them bigger.” from a commercial during the Westminster Dog Show.
Every member of our animal family makes a difference in our life. They bring us joy and frustration, humility and grace. With luck and perseverance, we do the same for them. That’s the human-animal bond in action.
Animals are not our healers and teachers, they are not gurus, they are family and friends. Those of us who live with them know we are not making it up—they are souls who have chosen animal bodies to do their work. They are equal to us, conscious, have jobs to do, free choice, and opinions. And, my goodness, did Murphy have opinions!
And this quote says it all: she made my life bigger because she had the patience and sense of humor to wait for me to catch up to her. Everything I do today, from trying to be a better person to helping people in their intuitive and spiritual lives—it all started in 1998 with this amazing soul in a dog body. I did not see it coming. All I knew was that I was buying a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy. But the minute I walked through the door and our eyes met, we both did a double-take as I heard a voice in my head say, “Oh, it’s you!” And that was before I ever heard of animal communication.
Murphy was another incarnation of a soul that has been with me all this lifetime, and in many others. Her brother, Alki, was the same soul, and that soul is back again as little Oliver Alki.
Five years on I still miss her so much it hurts. But I wouldn’t trade the life I had with her for anything.
She inspired my creative and intuitive life. And she still says that, somehow, I inspired her.
Today she remains in the afterlife, working in the form of a golden human woman, continuing to work between portals to usher in a new multi-dimensional reality, where we all step up to create fellowship and harmony across the planet and the universe.
Our animals sometimes choose remarkable jobs, work we didn’t even know existed. All their jobs are important, to them, to us, to a loving world.
Because I can’t hug her today, please hug your animals for me. For us. For a loving world. For peace. For humans and animals forming multi-species families. For the fun times, the happy times, the hard ones, the letting-go ones.
I love you, Murphy. And yes, I do remember I promised to bury your ashes on the first nice day of spring. I just didn’t say what year.
Until we meet again at the Interstellar Café. And thanks, Dad, for taking care of her. And thank you, Murphy, for taking care of him. And Alki. And … the universe.
