OK, while the threads on Wal Mart and Guns are likely to go nuclear I thought to escape down here with a subject that surely will not cause a fight /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif.
Do any of you feel a telepathic bond with your animals? Is it a two way connection or a one way connection? Do they know when you are coming home or feel badly? Has that bond ever continued to exist beyond their passing? Of course I might would ask this as well with parents and children or their parents or life partners. OK, well, do you ever feel what they are thinking?
Some years ago, when Mac, one of my collies became tangled in of all things an airconditioner grate, I had a strange experience. His collar tag had fallen down into the grate while he slept over it and when he got up it pulled his collar tight. He was choking to death. I was away on errands when this powerful dread came over me. I knew something was wrong with him and I started to home in a hurry, the closer I got the more a sense of desperation overcame me. I found him on the edge of death, strangled by his collar and the grate, laying prostrate on the floor. The other collie, Bobby was howling and he hardly ever barks and I have never heard him howl. It was the same howl from years before when our female collie Honey knew our male Sam was passing away. In any case I had to cut the collar off with my knife and administered mouth to nose ressusitation. A few more minutes and he would have been gone. The story of the passing of Sam is probably more than I should go into in a public forum for many reasons except to say that there was a tremendous wrenching within me that persists to this day as if a part of me was gone.
I was just wondering what if any similar events have happened with other companion animals or other loved ones and friends? I am sure I am not the only one with similar experiences but I respectfully realize many may not wish to share them and that is OK. J
