Posted by Linda Any way, my mom was non to please with this habit of mine of bringing home every single stray...so I learned to keep my friends in the woods behind my house. It was at this point in my life that I really started to think there was something wrong with me. I had sat in my woods before I had dog friends and even the little cotton tail bunnys would come up to me and sniff me and sometimes let me pet them. other little wild animal were the same...like squirls and bird even at times. Well with the dogs, I developed a strong bond...stronger than any I had ever felt before...and I could actually not hear them, but sorta know...hear what they wanted but not really hear. and they could do the same with me, we communicated through our minds...I know that sound weird...well at one point I had like 12 strays living in my woods...that my mother did not know about, she knew there were different strays around the town..old regulars and such, but she did not know they mainly stayed in our woods. A couple times some of the dogs wanted to come stay at the house with me, I would have to tell them that they could not, or they would get taken away and I would never see them again, I was deathly affraid of this happening, because they were my closest friends. They always did what I asked and one day..my mother was at work and I was home alone..(I always let the dogs come to the house when my mom was gone, they knew to run when they would hear her coming ....and they could hear her coming for miles away...lol. Anyway...one day while she was gone, another neighbor across the way had a pasture of three horses that were extremely wild...the horses got out and had wondered down by my place and were in my front yard...their were about three old farmers doing thier best to drive the horse back to where they came from...but they were not having the best of luck, they were elderly and in thier pick up trucks...trying get the horses to go the way they wanted them to go...I watched as the failed miserably at what they were trying to do and I told them, hey..I have some friends who might can help...they just looked at me like I was a stupid kid. That did it! The rhumors went crazy and everyone in town was calling me the "dog girl". There stares and snares pirced through me...I had never felt such painful looks, my chest felt full and tight and it was almost more than I could stand, then...I just turned that part of me off. And the rhumors never bothered me again. And still don't top this day. But I guess they did effect me, because I learned more and more was was not acceptable...and I learned to be less open to things. As an adult, I raise dogs...and I have a horse...I still feel them a bit, but nothing compared to as when I was young..... I have more wierd stuff to talk about hope it's ok...I am so glad I found this place...makes me feel normal..

The next weird thing that happened was, well as a total animal freak I started making new friends with the local dumped dogs...(can you tell there wer'nt many kids in my town..lol)
I didn't even think about it being a bad thing to do or something that might not work, I knew it would...without question and started rounding all the dog up around me...I can't rember how much came out of my mouth and how much we just knew each others thoughts...but I told the dogs what needed to be done and we all ran towards were the horses were...we circled the horses and followed them up to where they needed to be, when we got close to the entrance to thier pasture, they kind got nasty..not wanting to go in...I surley can't remember what if any verbal communication I used but I made the dog know what needed to be done and they put those horse right in that pasture in no time at all even with them being pretty ugly about it. ![]()
