Biologist speaks dogs telepathic abilities

Dogs are known to the pets taken from the body position (s) of a man most easily be able to read out what the man expected of them. This is not new. New, however, is: The English biologist Rupert Sheldrake admits now even the dogs Fähikeit to artübergreifenden telepathic communication between man and dog. Can be here. 

We were even times an experience that is really with the human mind is not to explain. I let my mistress times tell this story, because it is only for two-legged enigma - dogs, we know what we can. o) 

As at that time my horse had to be eingeschläfert, I worked more than Pferdepflegeirn in the stables where my horse had stood. Alex was with me every day and the other dogs in the barn, but was the only dog of the pack with a night in my apartment. We had a 6-day week and went every morning at the same time in the barn, just a few steps from my apartment had been removed. And even in the eizigen free day, we in the week had led us the way into the barn to search for the right to see and the animals are welcome. A morning without happily wedelnde whinnying horses and dogs that would just not been good morning. We were "stable junkies" - Alex at least as much as I do. As soon as I opened the door, there was no holding him for more: he was running far ahead happily and without a detour to the barn to the other dogs and welcome to 'his' horses to be seen. For years, every morning, without exception. 

As it was, that my horse beyond help and that it had to be eingeschläfert, I was quite ready and I had exceptionally for the next day off taken. I would not stand in the morning to the barn, and the box from me every morning happy to gewiehert had to be found empty. So I took my release and asked my colleague on my day off another horse in the box einzuquartieren. We had my horse in the late evening of his illness and his suffering redeemed. In his familiar surroundings, he is in my arms peacefully asleep. 

I then went up with Alex in my apartment and cried myself to sleep. The next morning I woke up late, much later than usual Alex had let me sleep, although it outside in the yard long ago my colleague, the other dogs and horses had heard. For all the grief, and so it is hard, life goes on and the dog must be at least times out. So I threw my jacket over my stall to stall and drew shoes and went down with Alex. However, he ran - no, that I just had said a tone - not like every morning, eager to shed, but turned very quickly and quietly right around the corner into the adjacent forest. He completed his business, and then immediately ran back - but again not in the barn, but to my apartment and looked at me as he wanted to say: "I know you is not good, we prefer to go fast again. " 

There is no logical explanation for Alex's behavior that morning. I had the sake of simplicity, even attracted the things that I wore in the stable otherwise. For him, all were signs to "stall", as every morning. There was absolutely nothing for Alex, which would have indicated that we are this morning for once not go into the stable. There was nothing that would have prevented him into the stable to run, and the cheerful mob Dogs welcome, as he did every morning. It may sound crazy, but it seemed as if to take, and I thought everyone in the barn and death to save my horse. He has not only felt bad that I went, but knew - what it takes - which should be avoided, so I was not even worse. Namely, any idea of the stable and thus the death of my horse. 

Even as I said, 'na lauf! "Because I like a Ausfllug him in his beloved shed wanted to indulge, he moved it from me to stay and not to his fellow dogs to run. At the next round of walking was repeated in the scene. He went the whole day in the barn and also waited until the next morning from what I direction of action. That was totally against his habit, and it is not easy to explain. I'm still convinced that Alex wanted to save me and a Sensibiliät and consideration has shown, that was certainly unusual. This experience is now 6 years back and I still get goosebumps when I think of. There is only one of many special experiences that I had with Alex. Nor is it to explain how he knew then that my landlady a bunk of us struggled with life and he must raise the alarm. To call for help, or else felt they could not then yes. However, Alex noticed that she was in distress and alerted me, so it just in time saved could be. There are many things that sustained me Alex beeidruckt and dealing with logic or 'animal instincts' with the best will not be explained. Maybe I will be so after some of these experiences down here when Alex leaves me in between times. o) 

The biologist Rupert Sheldrake likes of his colleagues (still) be laughed at, or his theories may still apply as controversial. But these doubters me if Alex would have to explain behavior, it would be pretty safe to sweat ...

Finally an end to the suffering in sight?

Finally an end to the suffering in sight?

A very good news, the initiative here Petwatch known. "The Kennel Club", as the main organization of the purebred dog world, are with the "breed health plan" a sensational, and highly gratifying change known. The aim of the "breed health plan" is finally in breeding more emphasis on the health of the dogs to lay. Thus, no features will be bred to look at the dog, running free, or can hinder breathing. Instead questionable "beauty ideals" and "Fashion Trends" will be finally happy, healthy and durable dog's stated goal of all breedings his race. Read more on the side of Petwatch. 

We are very pleased with this good news, though for us it still is incomprehensible why such breeding objectives are not even really long time to understand. Nonetheless - better late than never. Hopefully, the VDH follow the good example.

As people see the Dogs - New research from the

The dog faces much the same way people see and perceive, scientists have now found in London. Just like humans, even the dog looks first to the right half of the human face. Both dog and man considered the right half of a foreign face longer and more intense than the left half of the face. 

A possible explanation could lt research director Kun Guo from the University of Lincoln, the ability of the right side of face, emotions clearer. Sounds very logical, especially since studies show that emotions such as anger, in particular on the right half face significant insignia.

Wow! Pretty interesting, so what scientists find out everything. We dogs are you people but also more similar than you think. However, there are dogs you know the better man; o) .... 

See you soon, your Alex!

Dear Dog Friends, we do not have long to hear from us. Sorry for that, but mistress was once again very busy. The reason: Mr. Chen and mistress have become the Jawort, providing Frauchen now after a new name. And now she also has her books to the new name. As the books in the years 2004 / 2005 are released, they were unfortunately not yet the final status of the new spelling reform and had to be changed anyway.

Unfortunately, the Review of 2 books pretty much work, so Frauchen no time remained for my blog. And so they do not distracted, it has the time not even edit my fan mail. Impertinence, I find, but says mistress, the dog will be well deserved. "Well," I thought, 'before I must be hungry, so I prefer to patiently behind times. " o) 

Now I just when seen through my post that you have made me worry about you. Sorry guys, the sorry. Moreover, we had not thought about. The good news is: I'm brilliant and now it is here again. : o)

Bitch is looking for a new home

Bitch is looking for a new home

By e-mail we have received another cry for help. It is about the beautiful husky - Bodercollie-Spitzmixhündin "Cheyenne", which urgently seeks a new home. We hope in this way contribute to that mongrel dog a loving home and finds all the dogs want to ask friends, the information continues to lead. 

The pretty lady dog has already had joined in life and must now be sorry. Here is a description of the dog, its present owners have written: 

Cheyenne is a husky Bodercollie-Spitzmixhündin, born in November 2002, castrated, gechippt and tollwutgeimpft only because it has problems with vaccinations (she once gekrampft). It has a sub-thyroid function and must take each day Euthyrox. It is about 48 cm high and 19 kg in weight, other medical problems are not known. The previous owner of Cheyennes would like to continue living pay hauptsache you find a good place for them. Current City of Cheyenne: Landshut. 

It is hundeverträglich plays very much and has only with difficulty lining envy, otherwise she loves other dogs. We think your a 2nd Dog in the new family in any case would do well. She likes both females and males. 

She has a strong hunting drive, how they deal with cats and small animals behave is not known. In wild-free areas but they can easily ableinen, then they hear well. 

Cheyenne is very eager to work, lively and affectionate. She is on the Clicker conditioned and has a lot of fun puzzles. It would certainly be a good agility dog, but you should avoid things aufputschende with her to keep her stress level down as much as possible to keep. It looks like Leckerlis indoors and outdoors, likes to play ball and have fun at little or Dogdancing funny exercises. 

But it is sometimes hibbelig and very nervous, has little rest and would always prefer to share with their owners, having nothing to miss. 
Cheyenne knows all the current commands and carries them most reliably. She is happy with, but also can be easily distracted. But with the right Leckerlis it's always motivating ;-) Generally it is more of an insecure dog. 


Cheyenne, only to dogs experienced people without small children delivered. She would like to protect their family, and therefore very consistent leadership. Her unknown people (especially children) responded they insecure-aggressive. The current owners have always worked on this problem, but can not imagine how it will work with the young is. 

The current owners hope very much that a good place to find the little mouse! Contact via eva-cheyenne (at) gmx (dot) com or by phone at 0151 - 12848682 (we like to call back)!

Lost in the ice, I do not, do not worry. o) But I enjoyed the snow here already! When did you ever so much snow in our area? Unfortunately, now everything is gone, but at least had the wonderful snow here to be kept genze weeks. That is really a record! 

Unfortunately, my mistress at the moment once again very much around the ears, so they are only now kommmt to set the photos here. Also in the coming days it will be in my blog probably rather slow, but we wanted a short time in between Lebenszeichen send so you do not back worries. As you can see - I feel it's good! : o) 

Frauchen comic mini-camera photos strange sometimes brings out: The next photo seems like a photo montage, but it is not. It was not even dealt with, but somehow still pretty "spacy" from, I think. Probably, the mini-camera a life of its own, and unfolded just their own, artistic streak. o) However, you can see the funny photo beautifully how high the snow was here - my legs are up to half in the snow disappeared. Düsseldorfer conditions for more than a record amount of snow! 

However, I was not the only one who liked to found the white splendor. And it changed our walking park every day in a winter sports area. Because it was quite careful not to come any sled. o) 

I hope you all have a good time and will Frauchen anstubsen times so that they will soon once again more time for my blog is! 

See you soon, your Alex! (Alexander Bömbelmann o)
