Quote:Might reincarnate as a cat?
I had a dog about 20 years ago, when I was a kid.
I now have an (11-year-old) cat who took to me RIGHT away, and his mannerisms bring that dog to mind. Might Slobodan the cat, have been Rex the dog? Seeking out his old owner? Although it would have been a decade between incarnations...
B-man
Ya never know. It's common belief among pet owners that they reincarnate back to their beloved owners. Rather than take them to the vet to be euthenized, I had shot 3 of our dogs in my life. (dear readers, don't worry about Bud being a hard hearted killer, I stopped doing that and take em to the vet). Anyway, we have a dog now that's scared to death of the sight of a gun even though he has no previous experience with them (he doesn't need to hear it fire, he knows what a holster looks like and everything), AND he bites me all the time. I'm somewhat convinced it's the last poor old guy I put down, back so he can give me a hard time about shooting him. Despite his biting me and generally anti-social behavior toward every living thing, I'm trying to make it up to him. He gets treated very well and is actually just overly passionate about everything, including being a watchdog. He's great. If it's him, I'm really glad he's back. I won't even go into the extremely unlikely circumstances that brought him to us, but he was 15 mos old, and 2 hours away from death row for aggressive behavior and belonged to a guy I'd never met before, who had cancelled his death appointment 2 weeks earlier on a feeling. It was weird.
Oh yeah, and it was 5 years between death of last dog and birth of new one. (que the Twilght Zone music).
