My dog passed, can they communicate with us from spirit?

I had my dog Euthanised yesterday, I've been questioning myself whether it was too soon.

Last night was hard without her.

I spoke to my husband on phone this morning, he was checking in. There was a robotic , static sound through the phone. I thought someone snuck up on my husband to scare him then I heard 'im joking ' and laughing.

My husband said he heard a noise through the phone that was loud, but no one was around.

I believe once we as humans pass we go back to spirit. I believe our animals do too. Would animals have the same capacity to travel the universe? Can they visit the records etc or would they stay animal like in spirit ??

Do you think it could have been communication,

What could it have meant?
