Telepathic Abilities?

I've told people for a long time that I know it sounds crazy but I swore my Sheltie was telepathic. I lost him 2 days ago.

But my stories are a little different that him knowing when I wasn't well.

I could be in the basement working on the computer in my office and know he was standing at the door upstairs needing to go out. He wasn't barking or making a sound.

Or even though the stairs and basement is carpeted and he didn't have a collar that tinkled. I would be deeply focused on something and suddenly know he was standing in the doorway behind me saying "It's supper time"

I could be watching TV and know he was standing behind the couch staring at me wanting to play.

Obviously as most dogs he always knew my emotional and physical state and when I needed something. But the fact I always knew his wants needs and feelings from even another level of the house always puzzled me.

Even the day he died I ran to him and caught him before he collapsed, I just felt him, that something was wrong, turned around and started running to him, he collapsed just as I got to him hands stretched out.

I always felt like he somehow planted thoughts in my head. If our connection wasn't telepathic I dunno what is.
 
I believe it. Lil' Lady knows I am going to sneeze right before it happens, she goes crazy. She also knows when a storm is coming in before that happens too. She does a sheltie dance, its coming, but lots calmer lately.

Same here....Our dogs are definitely "in tune" with us. If I utter a "tch" under my breath, Indy goes and hides. He automatically assumes he is in trouble again! LOL!

I bet some part of his dog's death had to be due to trauma from seeing his owner shot in the firefight. The article mentioned the story of Hachiko, I watched the Richard Gere version recently which made me tear up a bit then watched the original Japanese movie depicting the story and I cried so hard, almost as hard as reading the book Where the Red Fern Grows when I was young. I think putting that book on reading lists is child abuse.

I really can't take these movies, my heart breaks and I bawl so badly my eyes swell and well Poppa hides , he thinks I am out of my mind even watching the way I respond to these things. I can't watch the Lab movie Marlie, I know he dies at the end but I can't watch it. Also my dog skip is one of my favorites but that makes me cry too and I get so mad at the boy for not going to a local college and staying home with skip in his old age. The Richard Gere one is the hardest to watch, I need an entire box of kleenex and then I need to be alone to rest of the night, I don't like talking to anyone.
 
I lived in an apartment when I had Brodie. I was walking into the building one day after work, and I could hear Brodie going CRAZY! The guy across the hall was walking in at the same time, and I apologized for the noise. He said, "It isn't a big deal. He never barks before 4:30. It starts about fifteen minutes before you get home."

Brodie knew when I didn't feel good, but he wasn't comforting. He thought I should play fetch. I guess because how can anyone feel bad when you're playing with the fun bouncy thing.

As for the current crew. Casey knows my mood. Annabelle and Tara know when I feel sick. And they are just cuddly then. They don't try to cheer me up by making me move. It was a BAD week last week, and my girls just wanted to comfort me. It is a bit harder to be upset when you have three girls fighting to clean out your nose. :lol:

hate those movies! Hate those books! Charlotte's web got me and I hate spiders! This post should be in all caps, because I am shouting the sentiment! I agree reading stuff that makes kids cry is horrible! And don't EVEN get me started on Black Beauty.

Wow, you all sound like me. I can not watch any animal hardly if the animal is hurt or dies, makes me sick to my tummy and for the rest of the evening, I am worthless. Being a big time animal lover, I just cannot watch them anymore. I agree about Black Beauty, NO WAY!!

About Shelties being telepathic, I truly feel they are, they are so sensitive, they must be. My breeder shared a story about a friend of hers who had one, he got lost and his owner kept "sending" positive thoughts to him, well, by golly, he found his way home in very extreme weather conditions and would not leave his owners side after. Seems they somehow communicated though far away. I don't understand any of that, but, I guess it makes sense, I just have not ever had it happen to me.:confused2: I can truly say that I have never known any dog to be as sensitive as the wonderful Sheltie, it is almost scary at times.
 
Hi Riley...welcome to the forum. I am sorry to hear of your loss. Our Shelties truly very special creatures. My two are very aware of everything I do. I was ill several months ago. When I got home from the hospital, they would not let me out of their sight. They stayed so close...if I slept ...they did too on the bed with me. They seemed to know some way that I was not well at the time. Those two were great company while I recovered.
