I cannot even describe the feeling of 'WTF' I had in that moment. And then\nthe waft came again, strong, fresh, and unmistakably from Ranger's rear end. I\nshot up from the table and smelled ever bit of my being, I scoured under the\ntable for a poop laid by another dog, I searched the entire campsite area -\nnothing.

He had\nsearched the snowy premises, and there was nary a poop on the ground from any\nanimal.\n\nI may not have had the experience again (yet) of smelling Ranger's poop - but\nthis clairalience thing is definitely a thing for me. A little over a month\nafter my sweet Ranger crossed, my Grandmother and my step-sister also passed\nfrom this life to the next. In addition to seeing red cardinals fly straight at\nme after their deaths, I started to smell things. I was walking around our\ncampsite lake, alone, deep in nature and I received a penetrating waft of\ncigarette smoke.

It woke me up 3 times and when I would come to complete\nconsciousness, there would be no smell of bleach. It was not a dream of a smell\nof bleach - it was the actual smell of bleach and it was strong that it woke me\nup 3 times. One time, I was in that twilight state in our bedroom and I smelled\na heavy dose of a man's cologne - it was definitely a man's cologne but it had a\nvery sweet note to it.

My\npartner and I talked a lot about this. We think it's because poop was a central\ntheme to the last 6 months of Ranger's life - and we intimately knew what his\npoop smelled like because of this. He was often not able to get up and stand up\nto take a poop, so he would go poop on his wee wee pad on his bed. Cleaning\nRanger's poop was a regular ritual that would really define the day, for 6\nmonths. He knows we know what his poop smells like. Another reason I think he\nchooses poop, is that he fought so hard to be able to poop standing up - I could\nsee the victory on his face when he was able to do it after weeks of paralysis.\nTaking a poop normal doggy style meant everything to him.

A spirit is without a body, and they have to find a way to communicate from the other side to people on this side they love. Sometimes spirits do this by flickering lights on and off, or appearing out of the corner of one's eye, or moving objects around, or by causing certain scents to waft into one's nose...

One of the ways that Ranger has communicated with both my boyfriend and I is through the smell of his poop. A week after Ranger crossed over, my partner texted me while he was at work that he just smelled Ranger's poop. I thought he was joking with me, and of course I got mad, because I really didn't think it was funny of him to make a joke at a time like this. But my partner was insistent that he just smelled Ranger's poop, and when I saw him and he told me all about it, one thing I knew for sure was that he was not making a joke.
