Happily, you were together at the end. Here's a "meditation" that will give the two of you access to each other for awhile longer. I figure three days or so.

Connecting with a loved one over distance/time. See yourself in the center of a perfectly formed, comfortably large circle. Fill it with gentle, golden flame, moving through you and all around you. Breathe normally. *Let* yourself breathe. Don't *make* yourself breathe. It may change into and egg. If it moves or changes, let it. If you get sensations and feelings moving, have them and watch things progress. This means your processing what you've been holding and going through. Breathing normally and paying attention to the image and your breath stabilizes the images and the experience.

After you see the images as being stable and while you're in the middle of them, ask to be with yor dog. You should be right there. The two of you will have unfettered access to each other and anything you want will be able to pass between the two of you.
See her in her own circle also surrounded, inside and out, with gentle golden flame. You'll feel/see flame, sensations and emotions transmitting back and forth between you. It may be intense at first. With renewed effort, the intensity will lessen as things get exchanged between the two of you and your situations come more into balance. Just focus on the image and breathe normally.

Once things have settle down, you can come into further balance by changing the flame to violet.

Duration brings increased benefits, as does frequency even though a minute or so at any one time brings benefits if you don't want to do more at any sitting.
