knew how to care for me when I was in pain. I suffered from endometriosis and would be in complete agony, most of the pain would be in my thigh (the thought was that endometriol tissue had traveled to the muscle). One morning I woke up crying and swearing I took some medication laid down on my bed & when I awoke a few hours later, I found my dog (12 pounds) had straddled my leg & herself was sleeping. She somehow knew where the pain was and used her body heat to help me.

One other time, again in pain, I got out of the bathtub, laid down on the floor & passed out. When I awoke, my dog had brought over to me a towel and my robe, both of which she placed on my body. She then laid next to me nuzzling me.

God, I miss that dog. I don't miss the pain.

and one of my cats would always lie against that knee and purr. When I recovered he stopped doing it.

All of my cats also have the magical talent of being able to hear me think about serving their cat food.

When I come in from working hard "whew"
Grass is too tall "weed whacker"
Food is being put on the table "The food is ready NOW!"

Parrots come up with funny stuff. I have met a couple of people who had me rolling from the stories.
Oh, god, here comes your father.

I went in there, while she was here, to find her some string so she would leave the leather laces on DH's moccasin slippers alone. She followed me into the garage and was exploring about and all of the sudden I had the urge to look in the grass seed distribution bucket for the diatomaceous earth, which I had been looking for for weeks. I am sure it was her influence. Mr gut organizes things in the garage . . .

Trees are much bigger than advertised. It's like dinosaur powder or something.

Spread it on with a blower pump. I know you aren't saying that it made your trees grow extra big because it comes from dinosaurs, but that is the way I read your post That should go in Applegrove's thread about kids.

I blow it around the base of my roses and other flowering plants, so the bees don't get any on them. It is safe for birds and animals though.

wants to "doctor" my athlete's foot, frets over my husband's tumor sites, will snuggle with anyone in a cast, "cries" with those who get hurt.

Honestly, though, I think it's because he trips us....

And invariably stole the first fish right off the hook as you were reeling it in. It went from relaxed dozing to a black streak of lightning and gone before you could react.

and parks his fat furry ass in that exact spot.

...even if they've never been there before, even if it's on a level stretch of road where they don't get any hints like the car slowing down or weaving through blocks.

They generally get whiny about three blocks away and start barking a block away.
