[pct-l] Was Cascade snow depth, now PCT telepathic dog

Nathan,
I didn't go out shopping for a telepathic puppy or anything.  I just picked 
out the biggest, jolliest pup in a litter of Golden Retrievers and, after a 
while, I noticed that he seemed to know what I was thinking and later he let 
me know what he was thinking from time to time. I'll tell you a little about 
it and you can decide if I'm crazy.

Major likes to lounge in my favorite chair, but always jumps down and 
stretches out beside it when I think about sitting in it. I don't have to 
say anything or betray my intention in any way.  He is not real talkative 
telepathically speaking.  He sometimes simply alerts me to something unusual 
ahead on the trail. The first time he encountered horses on the trail, long 
before I could see or hear them, Major stopped, looked at me and said, "What 
the f***?"  (I've tried to talk to him about profanity, but he just doesn't 
seem to get it.)  Sometimes, he just says "Be ready!" and then I see 
something I need to be aware of, like an odd character lurking in the bushes 
off the trail.  Yesterday, as we were ambling along the Wildwood Trail, 
Major saw way up ahead a tall, very pretty young woman walking along with a 
big grin, humming a tune and flailing her arms around like a windmill 
(stretching I guess).  Major stopped, looked at me, and said "What the 
f***?"  As we passed by the young lady said "Beautiful dog!" and after she 
was gone Major said "Nice!!!"

My theory is that telepathic dogs are not all that unusual, but they seldom 
bother communicating telepathically with humans.  Major figured out early on 
that I am hearing impaired, not all that bright and need all the help I can 
get.  So he sometimes sends me a little t-mail.  No big deal.
