"Did you ever notice when you blow in a dog's face he gets mad at you?
But when you take him in a car he sticks his head out the window." -- Steve Bluestone
Dogs know things, I swear. Don't know how, but they know.
I took my RB dog, Lacie, to the vet to be euthanized when it was her time. My boyfriend at the time said to me when I came home, "You should have seen these dogs today, I don't know what the problem was. At about three o'clock, they ALL started howling and howled for about five straight minutes and I could NOT shut them up. They've never done that before!" He had no idea that Lacie went to the bridge at 3:00. True story. Could have been coincidence, sure. But, honestly, the ONLY other time I've ever heard them all do one long extended group howl like that was when Sadie, our RB basset, died the year before in the house.![]()
1968 was a VERY good year, BTW ... the year I was born.![]()
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
Wow, I got chills after reading that!
Wonderful story!
Twisterdog.... I got chills as well after reading your story too!
I couldn't agree more about animals knowing things...
Little over a year ago my aunt died at her home and we all were there at the house with her. She has 1 McCaw and 2 other African type parrots.
The nurse came into the living room (where we all were, along with the birds) and told us all she would be passing very soon and suggested us all to say our final goodbye. The birds had been quite as normal all night and after we came back in the living room from saying our final goodbye we let her husband be with alone as she passed. Out of no where the birds went into a screaming frenzy... flapping around in their cages etc. Then... the nurse came out to tell us she was gone. Needless to say, we were all speechless and knew that they knew she was gone.
All animals know more than most people give them credit for.
