| Ways your furry(ies) protect you! I realized something recently and thought it was somewhat funny/interesting. I watch a lot of horror movies... In fact, I think I watched just about all the good ones out there. Well.. even bad ones. There are some movies that are really creepy so sometimes, I'd get bit scared when in bed. And I do silly things like make sure all my body limbs aren't hanging over the mattress b/c "something" from under the bed might get me. LOL This was all before my furries started sleeping in my room. Oddly enough, I feel "safe" b/c they're watching over me. Whether it be human or not, they'll be able to see/hear/smell it and will alert me so I won't be caught by surprise! Anyone else have similar feelings or am I the only oddball here? LOL |

| Yup I know exactly how you feel. I am an horror buff too and I like to watch them in a dark house by myself.....my friends don't understand it. Anyway, Duchess will alert me if there is something in the room that I dont see I'm actually pretty serious.....when I had to put my cat to sleep. Duchess and I were laying in bed watching TV. All of sudden, Duchess jumps up and starts barking like crazy....she is looking in the chair where my cat used to sleep. She would not take her eyes off of that charir. She was so scared, she ran into the hall outside of my bedroom door while continuing to bark, she would not come back into the room. She was literally scared. It took quite a few minutes for her to calm down in come back into the bedroom and even then she stared at the chair for several minutes before finally falling back to sleep. Interestingly, this happen on the same night I had my cat put to sleep. Although I was not scared, a part of me knew it was my cat because they weren't the best of friends. My cat would torment Duchess every now and then. I am pretty sure she was only really saying goodbye and Duchess didn't understand it. At any rate, Zoey must of finally crossed the rainbow bridge because it only happened that one time......queue the twightlight zone music. So yeah, Duchess is my alarm system and I feel she definitely protects me in her own way. Last edited by yavenay; 06-10-2016 at 07:21 AM. |

| Haha.. you're hilarious! For me, I absolutely cannot watch horror movies!! It's always after the movie that scares me, more than the movie itself. I have nightmares and see visions even after I close my eyes. It's really scary. Anyway...I think my closest similarity is that I'm afraid to be home alone. But when they're around, I feel safe as well. They usually hear everything and alert me, no matter where we are

| Another weird thing... I've had nightmares most of my life. Really disturbing and just.. violent. You would think that would get worse after watching horror movies. But no. Complete opposite. I rarely have nightmares anymore. Sometimes bit weird/bizarre but not scary at all! |

| I was freaked out but I also have my mother's ashes in the bedroom with me. I'd figured if it was something malevolent (although Zoey could be quite mean), my mother would of stepped in to protect me. It only happened that one time because I'm not sure if I would still be living there if it happened more than once. |

| We like to joke that the doggies chased the ghosts way from our house. Before the dogs, we routinely heard a faint radio, footsteps in the front hall, and interior doors slamming. The noises could also have been the annoying neighbor who moved away right when we got Max. Probably just sounded like it was all coming from within our house.
