Video of the Day: Dogs Go for a Swim
Have you ever heard that a dog 'knows' when an earthquake is about to hit?
Have you ever heard that a dog can 'sense' when a tornado is stirring up, even 20 miles away?
Do you remember hearing that before the December tsunami struck Southeast Asia, dogs started running frantically away from the seashore, at breakneck speed?
Do you know that dogs can detect cancer and other serious illnesses and danger of fire?
Somehow they always know when they can 'go for a ride' before you even ask and how do those dogs and cats get home from hundreds of miles away?
I'm a firm believer that animals - and especially dogs - have keen insights into the Truth.
And you can't tell me that dogs can't sense a potentially terrible disaster well in advance.
Simply said, a dog just KNOWS when something isn't right ... when impending doom is upon us . . . they'll always try to warn us...! Click to enlarge.
Today is my birthday. It is also our wedding anniversary. Yesterday, I was
contemplating what I should make for dinner Friday evening, in celebration
of my birthday and our anniversary. (Although today is the actual date of
these events, Friday seemed a more suitable evening for celebrating them.)
Imagine my great surprise when the Big Brown Truck rolled up in front and
delivered a large Styrofoam container, containing beautiful bacon-wrapped
filet mignon steaks and molten lava cakes! My excellent friend from afar
(and regular reader/commenter here, Chris, sent this fine gift to me! No
longer did I need muse about what would be served at our celebratory dinner!
Thank you, Chris!
