[Barnacle]

It's a funny thing about dogs. It seems that the ones closely related to the wolf are a bit more attuned to the supernatural.

Some friends of mine had a samoya. It was the most mellow thing ever, until a particular woman would visit their store. Then, the dog would go bonkers. Stranger yet is that it was not reacting to the woman, but rather to something that accompanied her.

Once and only once they visited her home and discovered then that she was fully immersed in witchcraft. She acknowledged that a demon was her companion and went with her everywhere.

I have plenty of secondhand witch stories from another friend who unwittingly became acquainted with a witch when his family moved to West Virginia. Stories that would make your skin crawl. That stuff is as real and dangerous as nitroglycerin.

I grew up with labs, so it took a bit to get used to a dog this intelligent and willful. We've grown to rely on him and what we had considered he judge of character. There are some people he just doesn't like...and many of them are "Earth Muffins" and the type of low class harpies that would dabble in witchcraft. Now you've got me wondering.

Ever notice how stories of people seeing demons tend to involve dark shadow like figures. Biting and hitting also seem to be a common trend.
