Seeing "something" That You Don't

The other day I noticed Smokey looking at something in the next room.
He was wagging his tail slowly back & forth. Kind of a "how are you? sort
of wave & he was smiling and very relaxed. I panicked for a minute thinking
someone had come into the house & I hadn't noticed. When I got up from
my chair to go look, there was nothing there. No cats, nothing.

It was kind of spooky really. Did you ever had this experience with any of your dogs?

Wow. Animals are VERY perceptive. I wouldn't rule anything out. It could very well be that there was a pet that passed while in the house, and his spirit haven't passed over yet.

I never rule anuthing like that out. I'm always being visited by the spirits of my RB pets. It's very comforting.

It's not at all uncommon to happen in this house. Years ago, one of my Lhasas was very perceptive, and "saw" my little terrier who had recently passed. She would be drawn to the spot where the missing dog always loved to lay, and just stare at it for quite some time, and quite frequently.
Both Myndi and Sparky have frequently seen "something" here also. It used to happen quite frequently, and always in my bedroom. They would be in a deep sleep, and then suddenly wake and stare at a particular spot - usually on the wall or the ceiling. Can't chalk it up to senility or a vivid imagination, since they both did it and usually at the same time. Haven't been any strange occurrences in quite some time, tho.
Yes Asiel - it was most likely "Freddy".

Yes, A few months ago LilGirl dog was barking at "something" in the den. She was standing in front of the television which was not turned on and just barking at it. The first thing I thought of was that movie (the name escapes me) where a little girl looked in tv & could see people & said "they're back" or something like that. I got a wierd feeling and frankly felt a little uneasy. I finally decided that somehow she was seeing HER reflection in the tv... dont know if she was or not... but it made me feel better to think so. Kay in NC

My RB Mandy acted like she saw something in the house a few times. Watch the show on Animal Planet called The Haunted (I think)
It's about pets 'seeing' ghosts!

As I have heard and read, animals can see a lot of stuff we can't

There are spooky ghost like creatures they can see but not us, genies, creepy creepy....

I live near a graveyard, wondering if my doggy, O.D. sees anything

"The Haunted" creeps the crap out of me!

Mikey sees and hears pretty much everything. Sometimes I like to think he sees ghosts or something cool and he'll be barking at a shadow or reflection on the ceiling. I don't rule out anything though...so I'm sure he can see some paranormal stuff. Sassy used to bark at this one corner of the room but I've never seen or heard anything to strange in my house.
