<DIV>Boy did we have bad storms go through last night, some pretty close
lightening strikes, it doesn't seem to bother Annie, she lifted her head a
couple times, got up turned in circles and laid back down, now this is
real odd happening, , I have always believed in the afterlife, I
truly believe that out loved ones and our pets walk among us, I have a motion
detector light in my kitchen, and I have insulated drapes on all my windows so I
know it wasn't the lightening,but last night three times after a clap of
thunder, my kitchen light came on ????? I think it was my
Maggie, Maggie was always afraid of thunderstorms, and every time it
stormed she would get up and pace around the house, Annie sat up one time,
looked out into the kitchen, whimpered and then laid back down. I read a
very interesting article on dog grieving today, and it said that
dogs grieve like a 2 or 3 year old, they do get depressed and they search for a
LONG time, because they can not comprehend that fact that death is FOREVER
like we can, so they will continue to search and get excited when we come home
thinking that we are in fact bringing back their companion, it said that animals
actually grieve longer than humans, because they always think that their
companion is coming back no matter how long they have been gone, made me
cry ! and then it made me truly understand what my Annie is feeling, like
today, she was just horrible, so sad and followed me every where. I
understand that they grieve, but I truly never comprehended the true extent of
it until today</DIV>
