Now throughout history people have been convinced they can see the face of Jesus in a whole range of ordinary items. They always look so real too! How genuine these are have always been in doubt. Yesterday my dog Bonnie visited us from the clouds, I was on the phone to my mother when she appeared all furry and smiley from within a cloud (the dog not my mother) Has she a canine message for us from Lhasa Apso heaven? Will the Littlest Hobo arrive at the door in a few days time beckoning us to follow the white light? You never know. Almost like this - how bad is that?! (looking more closely at the two links, I think it is perhaps a Lhasa Apso and not Jesus in those visions!)

Bonnie was my childhood pet. A little cloud on wheels herself, delivered to me on the day that I was repeatedly thrown from a horse. I remember the day vividly. I was about 9 I should think. My usual session of horse riding (I was a proper girly girl once- grew out of it though) and had been allocated a little horse named Suddenly..so named as he would 'suddenly' run off. There were gasps from onlookers as this skinny little runt of a girl was riding this particularly demonic horse with no lead. Leads were not permitted in my class, we were apparently too good for that. Well as predicted the horse threw me about four times. I got back on each time though - I was not going to allow it to beat me. When I arrived home there was my dad's friend and her dogs. One was a little runty thing. They used to show them and she had the wrong colour nose and the wrong colour pads on her paws and they were going to get rid of her...so as I was beaten and bloody from the psycho horse, I cried and they let me keep her. We bonded from that moment...many years of walking into lamp posts, being scared of the dark and cuddles when teenage angst settled in.

I wonder what she was trying to tell us yesterday? What messages might dogs have from beyond the grave?
