Through many years of sharing my life with dogs, I’m always amazed at their inane ability to sense something getting ready to happen.

Now, so many things were natural. Flyer, and all those who’ve followed her, knew sons and students were ready to burst through the door after hearing the school buses pull into the high school parking lot right next door to us. When I get off of the bus, almost in front of the house, I hear the dogs barking upon hearing the loud beeps from the Dayton RTA.

One time-telling gage that’s impressed me is the dogs knowing, each day, when it’s time to eat based on which student is finishing up a lesson each day.
