Beloved Pet

I believe your passed pet always stays by your side until the end. I recently loss my dog name Charlie due to cancer. Charlie was always the odd dog. He was funny, intelligent, protective, and loveable. Well, he always sat by my side as to protect my from energies he didn't like. He would growl to alert me, and make sure nothing bad happened to me. Well, we had to put him down because his cancer was advance, and his treatment didn't work. Everyday we watched him get better then he got worse. I felt guilty, terrible, and terrible bad for putting him down. The first two nights I had the same nightterror. It was in the vets office putting him down, and the vet said you can still save him over and over again. I didn't feel any presence of him around me those nights. But, my friend told me (without telling her about him) I had this really light energy that was a recent death that he won't leave your side. I asked her who? She told me she can't tell it's a mist. My jaw droped he was the only recent death I had. Later that day I was home by myself watching tv. I swore I saw him on the couch looking out the window. I kept seeing pure white orbs dart across the room. Then I saw this bright orange orb fly across the kitchen to the living room into my heart. I wasn't scared I knew it was him. The orange orb means forgiveness, protection, love, and happiness. I know he forgives me for putting him down. That night I had a dream of him, or it could be an unoticed out of body experience. I walked out of my bedroom to the living room. There was my dog all healthy. He didn't look like he battled cancer. I sat on the floor where he was at. He showered me with kisses and hugs (he use to put his head on your shoulder for a hug). I sat there and play tug of war intill it dissappered and woke up. I feel his energy around me sometimes. I feel I'm rub aganist my leg when I leave. A pet is more then a pet. There your family members. You open your heart for uncondtional love. Their energy has to go somewhere, and I don't think the go to pet heaven until their owner passes. Please help explain on what happened. Does anyone have the same events?
