I am an early riser every morning I make coffee and oatmeal right above where the dog sleeps. I generally have to step over her and she won't move only to wag her tail when I pat her with my foot and this is every morning.Today Opening day of dove season she jumps up ready to go... at first I thought she was hungry so I dumped some food..she didn't even look at the food.... only thing I can figure is I brought home my dove gun case which is parked by the back door near where she sleeps.....Dogs are like wives... they are smarter than they put on to be...of course both are smarter than me.

My dogs are the same way. They seem to know the difference between a rifle and a shotgun. They go nuts when I set the shotguns out, but have a different reaction when the deer rifles are set out. Both are in similar cases.

That's a neat story Jeweler. I've owned dogs my whole life. I'm convinced they are an excellent judge of character and can sense evil. I've often wondered if they don't possess a little ESP??

Dogs can read our minds, but they don't let us know this.
Every so often though, they slip up a little - like getting a little too excited on the morning of the opener... a dead giveaway. I know - I have, and have had, some extremely perceptive dogs. It's like they took Human Psychology 202.

My setter when she sees me bringing up a shotgun from the basement runs to the front door and leans against it so she can slip out the moment it opens.
She will sit there quivering in anticipation when she senses the hunt.

This is true. When I was first married my wife and I lived in Toronto. I worked from home and she had a job downtown that she traveled to and from via bus. The bus stopped about a block from our home. Her arrival home at days end was pretty consistent because it followed the bus schedule and then just a short walk of less than a minute. She'd normally come in the door about 5:20.
Every day our two setters would loll about doing what dogs do when they can't hunt. At about 5:00 pm every day, they would get up and wander around a bit...get a drink or whatever. At 5:15 they would get quite antsy and then go sit beside the front door. They usually only waited a few minutes before she walked through he door.
It was like clockwork and I never said anything to them.
