I had Christmas dinner
with one of my favorite uncles, older brother and father last night. During The
course of our conversation, my uncle told me of a dream he had recently. He was
in town from Montana and staying at my cousin’s house. My uncle awoke to find
that the ghost of my grandfather’s beloved dog was haunting him. Apparently,
the two of them had quite the conversation.
Sammy the dog informed that my uncle that she wasn’t happy with her current
living situation. She missed the
familiar smells of the house and the occasional table scrap that would be
thrown to her by my grandfather. My
uncle suggested to the dog that if she was not happy she should go live with
someone who was a lot like my grandfather. A little while later, my elder
brother must have come over for a visit.
The
dog must have sensed a shift in the coolness factor. After a little while, the dog decided to
follow my brother home. Granted,
listening to the retelling of this dream was of lot more humorous. There is nothing like the interjection of my uncle’s
laugh when he is telling a story. And
will and will and all as dream made me think though. Can an animal haunt a house? If so, how long
does their spirit stick around? How do
you get rid of them? As he was telling him much more animated version of the
story, I envisioned pet ghost Buster’s invading the house and capturing Sammy’s
spirit in a pyramid shaped box. I wonder
if there really are people out there in the world to do that sort of
thing.
