[Kätzchen]

Miss Petunia and Toffee (the blind blue-healer, Lab mix) seem to be fairing better these days. It's been almost a year since Simon, our adorable family Jack Russell Terrier, passed. But Miss Petunia and Toffee sometimes do strange things that seem to indicate that Simon (his ghost) is hanging around with the family pets.

Simon was the charming beggar (or not). Simon was SO bad at begging for human food, that during dinner time the only way to eat dinner in some sort of peace was to put him outside, with his leash on (don't ask, long story, LOL), and then Simon would commence to barking and scratching the glass window doors off the slider thingy until you thought you would go bonkers. Not even squirts from the spray bottle would make him stop.

Well. It was as if Simon was doing that very thing, in ghost spirit ways, the other night. We were all comfy eating snacks while watching 1980's movies on TV, when Toffee and Miss Petunia went coo-coo at the patio sliding glass doors. No one was out there. But Miss Petunia and Toffee kept on and on, barking and meowing up a storm. We think it was the Ghost of Simon, doing his thing on the glass sliding doors.

OMG, pets can be so intuitive, but really? I think they're as human as us.

I swear I could hear Simon yipping on the patio, that night. Yet he wasn't there.
