My dog went apeshit when i put the presents under the Christmas tree...

My theory is that dogs are like small children....they don't have a developed ego to block their perception of the spirit world......which is probably true of most or even all animals....just my opinion...

I had a beautiful lab that was my constant companion. He was at my side no matter where I went.

My family moved into a house back in 2003. There was a room in the house that I used for storage. My dog refused to go into that room. Even when I went in the room to work, he would sit just outside the door and whine at me. If I closed the door, he would push it open so he could still see me, but he would resist all attempts to get him to enter it. I've got a photo of him doing this....Also, he would periodically go into the hall and bark and growl at that door.

Anyways, I decided to turn the room into an office. Shortly after, I began to be awakened every morning by something/one knocking on that door. Five knocks....then a pause, then five more knocks....over and over. My husband at first didn't hear it. But my dog and I did......my dog would lift his head and growl.

One day when my husband and I were out, my daughter called me on the cell, terrified. She told me that someone was knocking on the office door...and I'd never told her about it, because I didn't want to freak her out.

Then, my step daughter, who was in her twenties, moved into the house with us. In the morning after her first night in that room, she told me that she had sensed a presence in that room....again - I'd never told her about anything.

Then, finally one day, I saw the "presence." I thick black column of shadow.

There is a whole lot of other stuff that was going supernaturally that I haven't touched on. Over a period of about 3 to 4 years, there was a lot of supernatural phenomena that was going on....most of it pretty scary. But at the heart of it, my dog was always responding to the activity in ways that convinced me he could see the things I was seeing and more......

I understand Yule predating Christianity, but is not the gift giving at Christmas emulating what was done by the wisemen to Jesus.

Also, I love Salt's posts on virtually any subject. Articulate, intelligent and well thought out. Am I being redundant?

MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL OF YOU!!!

Salt was wondering if you have American Indian blood somewhere in your ancestry?

Comets have always been known to be messengers of coming events and the coyote and eagle are spirit animals that sometimes relay messages to those of the blood.
