| Has anyone experienced their dog seeing "Things" My friends dog Lola started having these episodes yesterday where it is like she is seeing ghosts. She turns around quickly looking for something. We at first thought she might be seeing gnats or something like that but no. Sometimes she will bite at her rear but mostly she overreacts to sounds, movement. She is always playing with Buster but yesterday she hid from him like she was afraid of him almost like she did not recognize him. I actually went over at lunch to check on her because Jack was so concerned about her change. She did seem psychotic for a while but then seemed to go back to normal and started playing with Buster and interacting with us again. Her owner said she had another episode in the middle of the night and went back to normal. I just was wondering if anyone had gone through a similar experience? |

| Pets can pick up spirits much better than we can, but unless she's being harmed, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

| Dogs can hear and see so much better than we can so it's possible he was hearing or seeing something that humans can't. With that being said, I know someone with a small Yorkie that started "seeing ghosts" at about 6 months old. (those were her exact words). She said Tucker would stare up at the ceiling and sometimes act scared of something she couldn't see. Long story short they found out Tucker has MVD and the increasing ammonia levels caused him to do this weird activity. I'm not saying your friends Yorkie has this but it might be something she wants to get checked out. I will cross my fngers that it's only a Yorkie picking up on things people can't. Teresa |

| Soon after I lost my two dogs Crystal and Spike I got Brooklyn. Sometimes she would bark into the empty corner where Crystal used to sleep. It used to scare me to death. Now if she does it, I say hello to my babies over the bridge and tell them I love and miss them. Might not be anything, but it makes ME feel better. Edited to add: she hasn't barked into the empty corner in a long time now that I think of it. Hmmm....

| My younger son had a hamster in a hamster house in his room on his desk. This was about 7 years ago. The hamster passed away and the house is gone and his furniture is rearranged now. When Sammy goes into his room, he looks at the location where Teddy's cage used to be and growls. |

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | Well... It could be something like a petit mal seizure. If it goes on for more than a second or two. would have a vet check it out. On the other hand, I heard an old wives' tale decades ago that dogs do indeed see ghosts. The story was that if you got behind the dog and looked directly between it's ears you would see the ghost too. I never wanted to try that. Or it could just be that it hears something that you can't. |

| Well, this thread freaked me out. Roxie does this sometimes too. She will get all upset and angrily bark into an empty corner of the room...as if there is something there that is really annoying her. DBF always laughs and says she is barking at ghosts.

| My Clarissa did that only we discovered it happened when she was losing her eyesight. It happened gradual to her, but all at once to me. As age progresses, it becomes scary I think to them to not be able to see things as they once did. They bark and look in strange corners. |

| I am living in the apartment my parents had this was my dad's last home before he passed. Sometimes Andy will stare at a doorway and growl. That freeks me out.

| Bella does this too!!!!!! She will be happily laying on my lap sleeping then jump up, look at a wall..........and start barking. She LOVES to bark at my empty staircase. Jayden, my 3 year old grandson was watching her bark at the stairs and upper level, and I asked 'Bella what are you barking at?' and Jayden says, 'Shes barking at the man that lives in the hallway.' I said oh yea which man?? Jay say, 'the one right over there'. He points to an area of the upstairs railing and wall, and NOTHING is there. I still get chills to this day telling this story.

| They do say that small children and animals see things we don't. Which I do believe. Two of my children have been 'seers' and two saw nothing. Now apparently my grandson is another 'seer'. The name 'seer' is something I came up with not anything that I know a meaning of. Just meaning that a 'seer' in my definition is a child that talks about seeing things that nobody else can see.
