Cultural reason says that all dogs and humans make amazing bonds that expand both you and your dog.
Like most bits of cultural wisdom, I’ve found that both true and false. It depends on the dog.
Are dogs psychic?
We’ve all had the experience of the dog who barks before you see the intruder, the dog who barks before the knock on the door, the dog who barks at plain nothing in the corner. Are they psychic phenomena? Darned if I know. It may be just really good hearing on the dogs part. And an interest in things I just can’t see.
I love greys. I’ve always loved who they were and how they act. They’re brave, silly, lovely, quiet, graceful dogs like none others.
Greyhounds are pack animals. They live their lives on the farm and on the track in a pack of other hounds, and they think with a group intelligence and a group mind. Which does not mean they don’t have individual thoughts, emotions or loyalties. When a grey offers you any of those, it’s a compliment of deep grace and respect. Here’s a story about a greyhound brave enough to run past his pack into the woods and the things that live there.
No two of them are the same. I’ve had a dog who was able to put my slippers away ( if you considered in her bed away). I had a dog who raised two kittens. I’ve had a dog who would get loose and pick up women in bars. I had another dog who just went to bars. I had a dog who would dance if you sang to her. Two of my dogs could see evil and stood between me and whatever they thought was harmful. They were deeply psychic. Some were not. Were they bonded to me? Yes, but not in any way you could predict.
I’m not sure why some dogs are psychic and some are not. My suspicion is that it has to do with whether you’ve been deeply hurt before. If you have, you’re more sensitive as a person. I believe it’s true for dogs as well.
Woof is a story about a grey who can see what is in the wood, and Marlene trying to calm an elemental the grey is following. It’s up on the site where you can read it now. It’s in Sight Unseen: Tea Room Tales, available now on Amazon.
We’re adopting another greyhound, to make a friend for Lotus, and to give us a pack again. You can read about it on my Portfolio Site.
If you like having stories up available, would you please let us know? I’m doing it as an experiment by posting them. I will continue to put stories up, if I know you’re enjoying them.
Stories being retired soon:
Princess in the Tower, Grave Matters, and Cosmic Lift Off
Healing is the province of a psychic. The psychic world is where we transform our experiences and retell our stories. It’s in the retelling that we change our perspective. It’s in the transformation that we let the experience change us.
