The R-I-P-S

There is a picture of Moses "Moe" The RIPS mascot on our "about us" page.  Moe came to us one cold October day skin and bones, matted unkempt coat, and his whiskers had been burnt off. Most of his feet pads were also split and bleeding. Needless to say the poor guy was a mess here..... and I really think that he had been really mistreated wherever he had come from.

First thing we did was to take him right to the vets and had all of his shots, was also checked for worms plus we neutered him as well. Now he weighs probably about 12 lbs. and has really turned into being a great devoted pet here....... hence why we have dubbed him our mascot.

I know that animals are more intuned to the things being around us more so then most people. I know that my two little dogs here will bark into thin air, growl down the hallway at "something" and also growl at different closed off doors here.

One night I was sleeping here and Moe was asleep on top of me. He immediately got on all of his haunches and was watching "something" that I wasn't seeing but he in fact was so tuned into watching. This lasted for several minutes as he darted his head back and forth watching......lol. I know I probably should have gotten up with camera in tow here but it's nothing out of the norm here to have "things" happening here though...... very typical in THIS house.....lol.

I just know that we should all pay close attention to the signs and signals that our pets do show us. As they are highly sensitive to the smallest things around us. Perhaps it is their innocence or their extra sensitive hearing that they do possess. Just like younger children do tend to have also.

I know that some children who do talk to and have imaginary friends are communicating with either spirits that are present there or from people out of their past lives. Myself as a child I do remember having "something" here with me....... I also claimed to remember rocking my brother when HE was a baby and he was 15 yrs. older then me when I was born.

I can't wait until my grand daughter gets a little older and more communicative here too. I know that I probably will be examining her abilities as to what she can feel around her.... just as I did with her mom too when she was a child.

I love the innocence and open mindedness that children and pets so perceive, and I just find it very interesting as well

I just wish more people would be more so ......... Kay
