Sheila may well have sent one spirit from one hell to another.

if i did not know any better i believe this dog was barking at someone, i do know this if jeremy was the killer upon his return with the police that dog would be in a state of uncontrolled state of barking at him, to what i know , no such events took place, i feel this animal was barking at someone else.

Anne Eaton statement says Crispy bit him and behaved unusually, which is what you would expect under the circumstances.  However I know that people here do not accept what AE says.  (So I do not know why I bothered saying it).

My language can be poetic.  In my culture the dead will have their vengence one way or another against all who wrong them.  That is why we treat them carefully.

dogs can bite out in anger , even when they are terminally ill they are more emotional than humans

I did not know Crispy was terminally ill?  He was almost certianly pretty emotional though.

He may have been kicked in the nuts.

it was a general thought, dogs can sense death

They can, when my dad died, his dog Murdoch was howling like mad in the garden, he usually only ever barked and didnt howl, he did that day.

ive had to tell dogs andrea that im taking your owner to a chapel of rest at 2am in the morning and they understood every word i said, ive seen dogs sat outside a funeral home all week knowing their owner is at rest inside.

Morning mertoll  you are making me so sad with your doggie stories and the death of their owners.  Dogs have a sixth sense and know much more than we think and that is why they should be given a little bit more respect other than having the p**s taken out of them all the time.  After all they are God's creatures as much as we are.

It now explains why i see cats roaming through a cemetery they like us are visiting a grave .

Hi mertoll are you trying to put me into severe depression.  We as human beings could learn so much from animals if we had a mind to it.  They give love unconditional humans don't.

sorry mertol missed out the very important word love.

You must remember that these were farming folk and therefore are not as sentimental as those of use who keep animals just as pets. If a dog was showing any signs of aggression  then it would have been put down. Vets were originally for farm animals and if a farm had an animal you can bet that they kept it for a reason and not just as a pet. As soon as an animal showed any sign of its age and the complaints that went with it that animal would have been put down. It is a daily and a necessary occurance on a farm. You can bet your bottom dollar that crispy was a working dog of some sort and was probably a watch dog. the yappie ones are the best. They can hear things that we humans would never hear and would have immediately have alerted the family to an intruder in the house and quite probably a long time before they even got into the house. Do not underestimate the usefulness of crispy.

Hi lugg, I have just seen this post, I can't keep up with the forum too well of late! You are absolutely right, it occurred to me after posting that a farm dog would naturally be considered differently, and in a much less emotional way than a pet
