So freaked out!!
 

Ok guys just to let you all know I am so freaked out right now lol

So I was in the bathroom blow drying my hair, Peanut is in the living room in his bed, dh is still at work :(

All of a sudden I hear Peanut going at it..Barking like I never heard him bark before!! And even a little growling!! I was so scared to go to the living room to see what was going on bc Peanut is not a barker!!

I go in the living room and I didnt see him, I look into the kitchen to see him in front of the doors to the laundry room! ( the laundry room is just a little room with the washer and dryer thats it) he was sitting there barking and barking and barking!! The washer nor dryer nor light was on in the room!!!

I picked him up and tried to calm him down and he squirmed out of my hands and continued to bark! So I opened the doors, then he carefully walked over to the room, started to growl a little and walked inside , he stopped sniffed around, he looked up and did like a little whine noise and made a little bluff( bluff is a bark without opening his mouth.. you know)

It was crazy he looked up like 3 times and looked around!! There was NOTHING there!! That I saw. Then I got really freaked out and shut the door and sat with him on the couch....

We are sitting on the couch and he still will look over there!!! I am freaked out lol

Now the only reason why I get like this is bc after my Dad passed away like 2 months later, my dad came to me in a dream ( long story in itself lol) it was my dad for sure, but like a ghost..I dont want to say ghost but his body was all white and foggy looking and his face was clear but a little foggy ...anyways after that happened I would always feel him around me..

When I got Peanut it took about a year, Anytime I would feel my dad around me Peanut would act strange, he would bark at no apparent reason, look up in the air, a couple times he would follow something in the air...Many times I have noticed these things that Peanut does, but nothing ever really this bad..

I dunno I think I am just going on and on... I don't really talk to people about this kind of stuff ESP the whole "my dad came to me" thing it freaks a lot of people out :p but I just had to tell someone..

Do you guys think I am crazy? Could it have been my Dad? Do you guys believe in that kind of stuff??

I know what your going through. My dh grandfather comes around our house. He will come visit our son (he died when my son was 6 months) all the time. My son was his first great grandson and the light of his life for the last 6 months (died of bone cancer). Well I got both my babies last year, and when Bill (great grandpa) comes around my dogs freak out. They get really edgy, start barking at nothing, and will stick close by me. So its weird to alot of people but really common among those that are receptive to those that are departed.

It is totally possible! I would have probably told my dad to come quietly and not scare my pup! :D But..to please keep coming! There is something very comforting having a visit from a loved one who has passed.
So....if you are crazy, there are more of us who will meet you one day in the room with the soft walls and you will not be alone! :D

Wow- you know Its such a hard thing to explain, not everyone is understanding esp if they have never felt that feeling.. I always kind of doubted myself too.. like maybe I am just crazy lol but the proof is in Peanut and your furbutts!! I am glad to know I am not the only one :D

Naw, you're not crazy :) Your normal !!! I would have been worried and alarmed too! We expect that our dogs will bark when we need to notice something they think is out of the ordinary. Dogs alert us to strangers, dangers,etc. That was/is their originally main job I think :)

Seems though, if it was your dad, he would be a friendly spirit.

I got my dog after my dad passed away too, I am sorry for your loss

:D I know really!!! Yes I love it when I feel him...My Mom and DH are the only people I talk to about this.. and now you guys:D My Mom is always kinda jealous in a way that he doesnt come see her.. I tell her he does she just cant feel him like I do. I almost crapped my pants that one night.. That was amazing words can't even describe it!

Thanks, Peanut has helped a lot! I am sorry for your loss :(

You know thats what I thought to.. if it was my dad.. why was peanut going so crazy.. but it was strange..not so much an agressive bark , it was like a not sure bark... its hard to explain :D

um... maybe it was a mouse? :p

WOW, that's crazy. That would be freak me out, too! I do believe in spirits and ghosts sort of thing and I believe dogs can sense things that we can't. Maybe it was your dad stopping by to say hello :)

But, it COULD have been a mouse or a cat outside or something if we wanna get back to "reality!" LOL. But ya never know.

EEKKKK!!! :eek: :p I'd rather have the ghost please. :rolleyes: Either way, good boy Peanut for looking out for your Momma.

i've never had an experience with a spirit or presence, but i did have a couple dreams after my cousin Wes died where i saw him and i got to hug him again and we sat in a little booth at a soda shop...(i guess Heaven has those?) and we danced one time i think. i just missed him so much (i was 12 when he died) and i prayed to see him again and my prayers were answered and i saw him. it made me feel better knowing he was at peace and happy.

now he's learning that dance from Dirty Dancing from Patrick Swayze up there ;)

and Sadie did that alert barking thing and i thought she was crazy, but it was only a cricket that was hopping on the floor and i didn't notice it right away.

hahahhaah I totally agree! :D

I don't think your crazy at all. I think it's Peanut's way of letting you know what's going on.

:rolleyes: hmm I wish I could even believe for a second that it was a mouse or a cricket lol or even a cat ( who knows how it would have gotten in there.. maybe it can morph through walls!!)

I know what it was, I have felt it too many times :D

Hehe.....While I wouldn't jump right to the conclusion that you have a ghost
Your dog could have been hearing anything
a mouse as someone already has suggested or maybe something outside

But dogs are sensitive to energies if you believe in that sort of thing
We did live in a house that had a resident ghost many yrs ago
and things would bemoved you would hear voices at night

and the little dog that we had at the time
would get up and bark and growl when there was nothing there
but what made it scarey was that she would back up like something was coming toward her and then she would run away :eek:

Yeah that's the thing, I do believe in those sort of things, and I know it wasn't a ghost it was a spirit of the departed. :rolleyes:

Maybe your dog can get certified as a service dog to alert you to incoming spirits! :lovewings

heehee,:D sorry. I am just kidding. I really do think dogs have a sixth sense. And you are not crazy.

There are a lot of threads on YT about just this thing so you are not ALONE :cool: I too use to feel my dad all the time after he passed away when I was just 17 yrs old :( The day that he passed away I knew he was gone before my mom returned from the hospital because he had come to say good bye to me. It has been a few years since I have felt him and have been thinking about him and missing him a lot lately and would love a little visit :p As a matter of fact there is a thread in the OT forum that I started last week about something that just happened with my husband.

As for the mouse theory, Pebbles was on a mouse hunt in my laundry room last winter. I'm positive it was a mouse since she had her nose to the tile floor "hunting". She didn't catch it but I'm sure she scared the heck out of it and it left on its own free will because we set traps and never caught anything.

HAHA That's a GREAT idea lol :D I always wanted him to be a certified dog so we can go visit the old people home's but I think this is HIS CALLING!

Well I think if he came to visit you before, he probably does come to you, you just can't "feel" him at that moment. I believe that our passed loved ones are around us all the time, sometimes we just feel them stronger. Esp the one's that were closer to us. Like I never feel my Grandparents...Just my Dad.
You know I would probably think twice that it was a mouse if Peanut wasnt following something in the air lol :D
