Sniff and Scratch

Maggie May Longfellow, our miniature dachshund, sleeps in the top bunk with our 12-year-old daughter, Katrina. Our 16-year-old daughter, Kelli, who has Down syndrome, sleeps in the bottom. This works well for our family of seven, since our dog never disturbs anyone at night. But on February 2, 2005, at 2:30 a.m., my husband, James, and I were awakened by Maggie barking near our bed. What the heck? Then I smelled gas.

In the kitchen I found a burner left on, spewing out natural gas. Gagging, I threw open the windows, remembering not to turn on lights. That could trigger an explosion. Kelli, it turns out, had lifted Maggie May out of the bed. Our dog then pawed and scratched until she opened our door. Thanks to her, there was no headline in the paper: House Explodes,
Killing Family of 7.

I agree. But I never post or say it written by me or put my name there, I only post the story just to pass it along. :)

It is wonderful to have a dog as a pet... I had one... she was not trained to be a hearing dog.. but she acted like one....she was my shadow.. followed me around...

One night i was puzzled Brandy kept barking at the patio yard for long time... i thought perhaps other dogs barking... the next morning.. my neighbor told me she saw a big bald guy in my patio masturbating..i said wow.. checking out my patio place.. nothing out of place...

In couple months later .. i dated a big bald guy then we returned home... i told him i am going to bed.. dont feel like staying up.. and closed the door.. all of sudden Brandy kept barking at th e patio...then i remembered what my neighbor had told me.. so i acted like going to bed turning off the lights.. all of sudden i turned the lights of the patio.. ahhhhh there he was running away and i ran and checked if his car was there.. sure enough it was.. he never returned.. i never dated him again...

a dog can save your life anytime.....i had Brandy for 20 yrs.. i had to put her to sleep because of cancerous tumors.. she went blind and deaf...i never had a dog like her again...

Yep,, I trained my dog so well and she acted pretty much like hearing dog to warn me about anything,, she even wake me up by pushing my bed or pulling the blanket off me to get my full attention lol. She the best dog I ever had and I treat her like my child. But she passed away last year and she still in my heart forever she have never left my mind. She is always on my mind. Now that my pther dog missing her too. He old I know he won t be around much longer due to old age. Dogs are great!

I never had to train Brandy... I found her half dead as a puppy.. i nursed her back in good health... all of sudden she followed me around... warned me about somthing around me... she wont let my kids touching me... i even had to call police when she kept barking at the window.. i could not see outside.. it was dark in the night. as my friend and i played scrabble... police came.. asked me how did i know if there was tom peepers... i told him that Brandy told me.. he looked at her.. and got other police to check outside by the window... yes they found footprints by the window... so they keep hunting for tom peepers.. then caught him... police told me not ever getting rid of my dog.. i said no way... she is my baby...

Yep,, a dog can save a person life and protect your family and home. Pets are always worth it! :)
 
A friend of mine passed away and I was in charge of "his" remains. He wanted to be cremated and have his ashes spread in the Puget Sound.

On the day I brought his ashes home, I set them on the mantle above the fireplace.

His two cats, Charles and Nora, black Persian and White Turkish Angora, came to the front of the fireplace and meowed.

The two cats meowed for an hour and a half!!!!

That was a spooky experience!
 
I bet that was a spooky experience. It is amazing how much animal knows. In some ways, they are smarter than human beings.

You got that right, Animals are smarter then human. I always denpend and trust my animals no matter what. I love animals and it like I belong in their world since I been raised around so many pets and wild life. It like a second nature to me. When a amimal knows something up, we should always trust them. :)
