I live in a double-wide. We have a two-part kennel outside, though; the front part is on a concrete pad and covered, for bad weather or isolation purposes; the back part is a 40x60 grass plot, for general purposes. We also keep crates in the house, in what we call the "Dog Room," where we keep all our dog-show- and pet-related stuff; we have taught our dogs that "go to bed" means "get in your crate and stay there." It works really well.

That explains it.

Very interesting concept, but don't you think it would be more like a sixth sense that we've lost? I don't really beleive in evolution, but humans get their sense of security from eachother, animals have to rely on instinct, which is something we have very little of. They sense danger instinctively. Speaking of insticnt, what instincts do we acctualy have, I kow babys instictively know how to nurse, but what else?

That is a long list...
And the sixth sense I know is part of human nature. We ourselves have some distinct abilities, shared or not. Like me and my dad. We're kinda psychic, but not in the read-your-palm and crystal-ball type. We see visions. His are in the forms of flashbacks and shadowy figures - or flashforwards - and last for a second, coming true within the next hour. Mine are in the forms of dreams, which come true within 24 hours. But it's a rare occurence; to my knowledge, we've only had at most four instances like this happen to us in my lifetime, and I'm 18.
I know some of my friends have their own form of the sixth sense; it all depends on what specifically you're thinking about, I guess. -
Woah! Like That's So Raven! It runs in her family too.
-
Sort of, I guess. Only we don't completely spazz out and stare off into space like we're high when it happens. It's in real time and conscious. -
Yeah, Raven like turns her head and looks off into the distance. What is that all about?
-
People trying to guess at how real people see visions, picturing them going into a trance and staring off into space.
