Not ghosty, but weird animal intuition...

We used to own a Golden Retriever cross. He was protective of his area enough that he would bark when someone came to the door, but once we showed up he quit. My mom used to host bridge parties.. her friends would all come over and they would drink and play bridge all night. It was always the same people, give or take a couple.

The husband of one of the women who played bridge killed himself one day. He sat in his car in his garage, and went that way. The next bridge night that the woman came to, my dog went insane. He was growling and barking at her, and wouldn't stop. I guess it was pretty scary... I would have been in bed already. He wouldn't stop... he stared at her and growled at her until my parents gave up and locked him up. He never did that to another person ever again.... and he had certainly never done it before. My mom said it gave her such chills that she never invited that woman over again, and she avoided seeing her at other places. Something to do with that lady's husband's suicide made my dog go ballistic at her... my mom wasn't taking any chances.

I've always thought that was freaky.

Sex is like musical talent. Some guys just naturally have it, some don't. Some can be taught, some want to but will always be tone deaf, and some don't care to be. And some are like a genre of music that you can't stand; you listen because it's on and you can't change the station, but no matter how hard you try you just can't make yourself enjoy it.
