Your Dog Knows!
Ever heard that a dog “knows” when an earthquake is about to hit?
Have you ever heard that a dog can “sense” when a tornado is stirring up, even 20 miles away?
Do you remember hearing that before the December tsunami struck Southeast Asia, dogs started running frantically away from the seashore, at breakneck speed?
Do you know that dogs can detect cancer and other serious illnesses and danger of fire?
Somehow they always know when they can “go for a ride” before you even ask, and how do those dogs and cats get home from hundreds of miles away?
I’m a firm believer that animals - especially dogs - have keen insights into the TRUTH.
And you can’t tell me that dogs can’t sense a potentially terrible disaster well in advance.
Simply said, a dog just KNOWS when something isn’t right… when impending doom is upon us…
they’ll always try to warn us…!!!
I have owned sevreral dogs and I realize that each is different, but I also know that they can judge things with that dog sense they have. I often wonder how they judge people and are usually “right on”. All of my dogs have been “recycled”, or “used”, and sometimes abused. I do not go for the pure bred dog, but chances are if it is a stray it will wind up at my house.
My only regret about having a dog is that I do not have enough time to spend with it.
I Love To Go Sailing
I grew up at the beach. One of my friends had a small sailboat and we used to sail around the bay in Long Beach, CA in it. When I graduated from high school I used some of my graduation present money to get a 14 foot sail boat and then we sailed out around the oil islands and where ever the wind would take us outside of the bay.
Several nights as the sun set the wind would die and I would end up being towed back to where I kept my boat. That was embarrassing. You just can’t beat the feeling of wind power, until it stops. It is great that people show mercy on girls paddling a sailboat. Also never be too proud not to accept a helping hand.
I still sail when I can but I kayak, too. That is just as peaceful. I read Mark Twain’s book, Roughing It , when I was in high school. I have reread it twice since then. That is such a fun book. You can live life through his experiences. One part I always think about is his description of Lake Tahoe, and floating out in the lake in a canoe and just staring into the water. I have not done that at Lake Tahoe, but I have spent several hours at a nearby lake doing that very same thing, and following the fishes. It is so much fun to be as still as possible and watch the fishes doing fish stuff. Can fish be curious? Did you ever think of that?
Here is a video I ran across and it is such a great mood. It captures the feeling of Sailing as does the song by Christopher Cross. I hope you take 4 minutes out of your busy life to enjoy it.
The Start of One More Blog
Today is the first day for another blog. Why do I start so many? I am really not sure. Hopefully I can keep a theme running in this one of sharing Faith, Hope, and Love, through words of encouragement. I get so many emails with words of encouragement in them. Do you? It is great to get them but then they get deleted or lost. I am going to use this blog to archive them.
It is going to be fun to watch this blog grow. I hope I will be faithful to it. Time will tell.
