| Dogs know Dogs know when we are hurting, last week Monday and Tuesday night I sat with my sister beside her husbands hospital bed. The vigil did not end well, the funeral is tomorrow, according to my hubby none of my dogs slept either nights. They lay howling as if they knew all was not well. They have been exceptionally well behaved this weekend as well as we have been inundated with people offering their condolences |

| So sorry for your loss. You are so correct - dogs do know! Wishing you and your family blessings as you heal and strength to carry on.

| I'm so sorry for the loss of your brother-in-law. It is amazing how "in tune" our pets are.

| Dogs do know and are far more sentient creatures than anyone used to think. It hurts to watch really old movies and read books written early in this century to see how badly many dogs were treated, called dummies and hit, starved, kicked out for just anything they did wrong, any mistake. They are intelligent, caring and sympathetic creatures of unbelievable beauty.

| I am so sorry for the loss of your brother in law....my grandmother used to say dogs sense death and will howl mournfully....she hated to hear dogs howl for that reason....and I do too...when I hear them plaintively (sp?) howling, it really is unsettling to me, clear down to my soul.... |

| They Know I am so sorry for your loss. Prayers for you and your family. Dog do know. I can sometimes see an aura around people. I don't know if dogs can too, or smell or what. My therapy dogs know when one of the patients is ready to pass on. They are so gentle and act different, almost like they are saying good bye. If they want me to go to a certain room I follow their instinct.
