After opening my presents, I went outside. Imagine my surprise to find an extra present on the bike my Suzy sat next to. It was a stuffed bear; a little worn and with dog slime on it. I still have no idea where she got the toy, or how she knew about Christmas.Bootiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13172384426611745917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6912321843321447366.post-5336726560371389562009-11-23T14:36:00.852-05:002009-11-23T14:36:00.852-05:00I know Rusty is communicateing to me telling me to...I know Rusty is communicateing to me telling me to have patience slow down he's so darn affectionate at times I want to tell him to go lay down then he looks at me turns his head sidways and I laugh...my husband thinks im weird because I said he understands us Chris he does just watch when you talk to him...I can tell his spirit is strong and your right he had been adopted as one of the family by the kids...they are trying to move him into the house...they think i dont hear his paws in the hallway at night as they sneak him into their room or the front porch. I put up a poster wanting to make sure he is not someone else's puppy and we get attached.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16822760763130807297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6912321843321447366.post-22824134119555043142009-11-18T17:28:41.563-05:002009-11-18T17:28:41.563-05:00Cute story. How do you see this as being Animism?...Cute story. How do you see this as being Animism? It obviously connects to something bigger than you... I'm sure your kids will love their new dog. My kids grew up with Lucky -- and they have happy memories. I have happy memories of my childhood dog. I think that kids get the most of these relationships. <br /><br />LisaLisa F.

He stayed with us I went to get him a collar one day and went for a walk with him and he darted off into the trees I tried calling him but he didnt come back I shrugged and thought he would be back but no one has seen him. Just this past couple of weeks another puppy showed up this time with a collar RUSTY hes I think a poodle cross very cute and very obiedient he doesnt bark though...we are planning on taking him to the vet and the kids have built him a dog house I think we are asking him if he wants to stay with us and so far he keeps nodding his head so we now have a dog :)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16822760763130807297noreply@blogger.com
