Tell you something Sorcha I still feel mine sleeping next to my legs now and again when Im in bed, believe me they will visit you even after years go by. Myself and Mrs C both see them, Rags my champion Skye came to see us not long before Kilty died, that was this year June 20th we still feel it. Rags died in 1999 7 years ago. We have 5 in spirit and love them still they wont leave you.
