That happened last August, almost a year ago. Buffy died on 6/11/2021.
I haven't changed my habit of keeping that robe at the foot of the bed.

This morning when I woke up to get ready for work, that robe was once
again on the pet steps at the head of the bed. I was flabbergasted.

Her food and water bowls were in the bedroom, too. At the risk of
sounding completely nutty, I sometimes think I can hear her eating her
"crunchies" during the night. This despite the fact that those bowls
have been washed and put away.

I kept thinking I saw Cinnamon out of the corner of my eye, and when I
turned to look at the motion, of course, there was nothing moving. I
think this is a normal response. After my grandmother died, many years
ago, I woke up one night and saw her standing in my bedroom doorway
smiling at me. Of course, I was dreaming, but it seemed very real.

I've seen that out of the corner of my eye thing, too. Of course there
is nothing there. I would love to think Buffy (and Cinnamon) are
sticking around long enough to tell us they're okay, don't worry. And
in Buffy's case, here's your robe! :)

I actually do believe in ghosts. After my little mutt dog Sampson died
(two months shy of age 20) I woke up one night because I felt fur under
my fingers. I remember thinking "That can't be." As I came more awake
I felt a *whoosh* go down the bed and he went away. I had been grieving
terribly but when that happened I felt totally at peace. I think he
came to say goodbye and to tell me he was fine.

I think that loved ones do stay with us on some level. That they do things
to let us know they're there. If it was in your imagination, how come your
robe was on the pet steps at the top of the bed not where you left it on
the foot of the bed?

It's a magical mystery. I'd have had no reason to move it in my sleep.
