RESCUE DOGS' PAST LIVES

THIS IS KATIE ON OUR DECK AT HOME

I just saw a YouTube video titled Do Rescue Dogs Remember Their Past Lives?

I didn't need to watch the video; I KNOW that rescue dogs remember their past lives.

We had gotten Katie from Collie Rescue of the Carolinas, and my wife and I visited Collie Rescue now and then. My wife Holly suggested that I take Katie so she could be sociable with the collies.

As soon as we got to Collie Rescue, Katie went into a panic (I assume she recognized the smell of the place.) She was squirming on the seat almost violently and was crying forlornly. I tried to sooth her worries, and we went in.

Katie was relieved when we got back in the van to go home. It was obvious she remembered her past life.

I was almost sorry I'd taken her back there.

A DOG HIDING IN MY ROOM

LADY LIKED TO SNEAK INTO MY ROOM

The difference between Dixie and our previous dogs is that I can usually find her. She's either in the office in her bed, near her water bowl in the kitchen, or outside. 

Now, she COULD get out of her harness and running around the neighborhood, but that's rare.

Lady often got past my closed door into my room; I'd open the door, and she'd be on the bed. She'd be wearing a big doggy smile. I'd sweep my left hand as though I was inviting her out, and she'd jump off the bed and run out the door.

Once, I was looking for Scottie, our second old collie, and I couldn't find him. Then I heard banging in my room. I opened my door, and he was standing there looking at me. The room was disordered, but at least he didn't pee or poop in there.

As far as I knew, Katie and Buddy never got in my room. Neither has Dixie, although she's tried.
