Pets can't 'speak' in this world and they can't speak in the next. They may be around you, you may feel their presence and maybe their love at times but they don't have language.
While this is most likely true I wish it wasn’t. Pets have their own souls, their own feelings, they decide what they do, sleep, eat, run, walk.
It seems to me they have enough awareness to do what they want. While they can’t speak it makes sense to me that they have a language which is completely different from ours.
I’ve spent some time researching this today and while it seems that they don’t have their own language but more so leave expressions it kind of makes me sad.
Our family dog passed away while I was in primary school and to know that she won’t be able to speak and communicate like us humans upsets me quite a bit. She had a hard life here, she managed to catch something in her eyes which led to her becoming blind and later on had to get her eyes removed. It was a horrible time but she relied on her other senses to move around the house, it was difficult at first but she perfected it! She passed away in her sleep which I think was the best way for her to go.
