Many puppies and dogs are special by nature.
I had quite a few of these animals within my lifetime and enjoyed every moment of sharing my home with these wonderful creatures.
Ten years after I had to have one of my dogs in which I had for seventeen years euthanized due to arthritis pain (which made her yelp), her hind legs giving out, and the fact she wouldn’t eat any food or urinate and move her bowels under the condition, I adopted another puppy from North Shore Animal League.
It was a female pup who was already paper trained and smart as a whip.
I’ve been fortunate to have certain dogs that stood out from the rest that I’ve had within intelligence, behavior, and intuitive ability.
The dog I had for seventeen years was indeed the most exceptional out of all of them. The second most remarkable was the very first puppy I ever owned when I was at the age of seven or eight.
Dogs have a keen sense of smell and natural instincts in general, however, some just bring to my attention the certain things in particular I’ve happened to take a notice of in regard to them.
One circumstance I recognized was how I would be downstairs in my house all day long working on my computer and the puppy would be upstairs the entire time with other relatives who also occupied the home because she’d never come downstairs.
When I’d finally come upstairs hours later to retreat to bed or to watch television she’d just be her normal quiet self, except when she was in the mood to play.
On the days I’d come home from work I’d be coming through the door and I would hear her upstairs whining in anticipation to greet me.
As soon as I’d reach the bedroom she’d be running towards me and jumping all over me, still whining in excitement.
I’d wonder to myself, how did she know I was out all day and not just downstairs on my computer or doing something else? She’d do the same thing all of the time.
My puppy knew the difference between me being home and not being home regardless of the fact at how long I was out of her sight.
Her reactions showed it all.
I even took notice at when she followed me into the bathroom one day and after I’d opened up the medicine cabinet she was able to see my reflection through the outside cabinet mirror.
She continuously looked back at the mirror and at me, studying the double figures of my likeness, in which she was viewing. She just kept turning her eyes back and forth at what she was seeing.
Our pet canines watch everything we do and they watch everything around us and it is marvelous how quickly they can grasp and pick up on things.
It is so adorable and pleasant to assist them within their stages of learning. Oh, how I love them so.
Those beautiful creatures.
