I was watching a Turning Point last week titled "Into the minds of animals".
In one part, they questioned whether animals knew when their owners were
returning home.  I say "Yes".  I went out of town for the weekend.  On
Sunday, my husband came home at 4:30 and let Laska out of her cage.  She
played for 10 minutes then fell asleep in some clothes.  At 4:50, I left my
mom's house to catch the shuttle back to Tucson.  At 5:00, Laska woke up and
ran to the front door.  She waited there for a few minutes, then ran to my
husband.  When he reached down to her, she danced away from him and ran to
the front door.  She did this for 2 hours.  At 7, she went under the bed to
sleep.  At 7:30, my husband left to go get me.  As soon as she heard the
door open, she ran to it as fast as she could and wouldn't let my husband
leave without her.  Animals really amaze me with what they do.  Dayna and
the Woozles> My prayers and love are with you over the loss of a very
special little guy.  He really loved you and he was the bravest little guy I
"knew".  I know he'll be waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge.
