They know. They always know. I'm not sure how, but they do. I do my very best not to give them the slightest hint, but they figure it out just the same.
I'm back to talking about my dogs. Somehow they have me completely figured out before I even open the kennel door. Good, bad, or indifferent they have the situation all sorted and know exactly how to act and what to do in the 10 steps it takes me to get to the gate.
For those of you who don't know, I've been laid up for the past 3 months with a blown out knee. Since it happened neither dog has come anywhere close my injured leg. They do everything else that they always do, but have avoided any parts of me that were hurting.
This isn't the first time I've seen this. Any time that I've been under the weather at all they act completely different. If I'm not really into going for a walk they sense it. During those walks they never misbehave. It's just a casual walk with no excitement.. regardless of what else is going on around us.
I'm not sure if it's a case of rescue dogs being more in tune with the people who give them their forever home, or if it's just me being way too into my dogs, but either way it's a really amazing thing to witness. Even when sledding they can tell when it's going to be a boring old training run or when we've got company coming along. They get all hopped up when there's someone new along for a ride.
Mood dogs.. you've gotta check them out!

...now just imagine having 5 of those telepathic wierdos :)
It's been scientifically proven that a dog's sense of smell can detect an injury, high blood sugar, or cancer in a human. I'm sure this is the case with you and your dogs.
PS I rescued my dog from a shelter almost two years ago. She's the Malamute/Husky mix on the front page of my blog.
Nice dogs! and like your blog music selection too!
