Sometimes bad things happen

     I've decided to speed things up a bit, so on 22 October 2014 something strange happened. I walked outside the usual, Pink rushed to the door, but she seemed a little upset. I grabbed the colar getting her ready to go on a run, it's been getting really dark outside when it's early. She was pushing me when I was trying to put the colar on her, then as soon as I got it on good she started scratching the door like she was digging a hole to get out, but she was trying to get in. We left and went to the Marina, I sat down on the grass while she was doing the same old, same old smelling the grass searching for scents. This time it was different she started running around me in circles then she viscously attacks me, she scratched my arm and I got scared. I tried getting up as fast as I could like my life depended on it, when I got up she calmed down so I looked at her and the colar was all over her legs when I was untangling it, she tried to bite me. I moved my hand as soon as I could.... I wasn't so sure about what hurt the most. The fact that she tried to attack me or that she really made me bleed. I was hurt emotionally more than I was physically. I started heading home, wondering why that happened... Wasn't sure about what was going on. When we got home I sat down outside on a chair this time and she just laid there like ..

      My mom was upset when she saw me because of the scratches and blood on my arm. I decided to do some research, dogs were originally predators and their closest relatives are wolves. Another example some dogs were raised to fight for example Pit-Bulls they were raised to fight and nowadays certain people think that the dogs are scary and dangerous, it's their nature for them to fight for their lives. Dogs fighting was used for making money bets, gambling, and mostly for entertainment. who would want to see that, right? I believe it's sad how dogs will attack, fight, and kill each other, and still be expected to be nice.

   I tried getting videos here, but they are so violent the age restriction won't let me. 

Finally I came to the point that she didn't mean to hurt me, she was just frustrated and confused or just wanted to go smell something while I just sat there.

my own world

   Lately, I've been thinking about my question, so I started observing my dog while I run with her, but I decided to slow down to try to see where she takes me. So this is how the routine goes, “as soon as I take a step out the door Pink rushes and sits so I can put her collar on, I just find it funny. She already knows.” Field notes 10/11.  I remember I put her collar on and I get her in the house so we can go out the front door. She pulls on me, “she might be impatient or even a little excited, I’m the only one who takes her out.” Field notes 10/11.  I’m trying to pull her back, but her pulling my hand starts hurting and gets all red. It’s really painful, but in the end it’s worth out. These past few days all she wants to do is stop and sniff around as all the stories come to her. I wonder if they all come out her at once or if they are sorted in a way.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZlJ8XfwiNg

I came up with a truth I am crazy. I am also not as frustrated on the walks, I've just let my dog do her own thing. smelling all sorts of things, hard soft cement, green long grass, short grass, dead grass, all sorts of grass.

On, "The Ability of Dogs to Recognize and Cross-match Human Odours," explains how dogs are used to identify criminals from scented items left at the crime scene.  Dogs not only can do that but also identify body parts due to their collective scents. Dogs are able to match hand scents, it all takes training, just like everything else.  

I find it crazy, but amazingly wonderful. Then again not so great we never know, people could be loosing their jobs because of this. Are dogs even meant for it, to fight crime. I know dogs are mans best friend and I find it true. How do dogs have his collective sense of smell and how does it work, how long do they remember for?

Is it Real?

Am I just crazy? I've been watching my dog and get frustrated because I can't figure it out. Pink tries to tell me things, but I wish I would understand, I know she knows something we don't. Mysteriously amazing unseen human thing; storms, earthquakes, seizures(heart strokes), labor, illness(cancer). All which are things customers at scolari's food and drug comp. have said, is there more? How? How can I find the answers? How does this happen? "All I can say is that dogs have a good nose, good sense of smell." Field notes 10'8'14 

Smell so strong that can tell stories or even memories, crazy right? I've been thinking about doing some crazy research and find the answer or some answers and experiment because I have much questions, based on what dog owners tell me. Well then their we have service dogs for people with disabilities most of which are trained by an organization.

My dog, my dog is beautiful even though I don't understand what she's trying to tell me I think I will take more time to observe her. We leave the kitchen window open to the back porch and she always sticks her head in and stares. Often she's been barking at me a lot and I'm not sure why. Hopefully I'll find out soon as I watch her closely. I've also niticed that it gets dark super early and the temperature is dropping. No more ants outside yay, but it's so cold. I just feel like I'm going crazy with the sense and I can't seem to see what's going on.

Something new

As I watch my dog even more I begin to notice new things. Previously I talked about how dogs have more senses. Well let's start with all the senses they do have. It's been told that dogs only see in black and white, but could their be more to it? What if they can see colors but not as bright? The main senses from humans and dogs are sight, hearing, and smelling. When I take Pink out I've noticed that dogs mostly communicate by smelling which is crazy, but that's why dogs mark their spot, their territory. Or how dogs can smell your dogs when your around, crazy, righty? I wonder if the beauty of dogs being able to see or feel or even smell emotions of humans. Or how they can tell what's going to happen before it happens. At Scolari's where I work employes come in and tell me stories about how their dogs can tell that going to have a stroke or something before it happens, it's fascinating. The beauty and secrets or the unbelievable nature.

When I'm running with my dog I notice how people move and try to ignore my dog, I notice the fear in their eyes and motions. My dog isn't scary, she might be big and she is a pit-bull, but she has a big heart. She won't hurt anyone who's not a threat,( as in if you try to hurt her or my family or maybe even I she will attack) a little hero, my best-friend. I see the way she feels or it's more like feeling. She hides behind me because she's also scared. When I look into her eyes I feel a rush of emotions where I can see and feel everything she feels, it's pretty unexplainable, it gets to me more times then others.
