Now we speak of elephant's memories but why not other animals, too. I had a kitten, Althea, who got her front paw trodden on when she was just a wee tiny little thing. All her life, she was terrified of shoes and at the slightest sign of a shoelace...BAM, she was outta there! She lived to be almost 14 and never forgot. Bless her heart.

Despite the fact that the dog had chosen me as its person, and suffered extreme depression as a result. It broke my heart that my mother was so selfish, it broke the dogs heart too. I made it a point to visit often. [To see the dog] which were joyful times. But between those visits he'd sit mournfully at the window,crying real tears, waiting watching for my arrival. And would not eat or anything. I knew a dog that was hit my lightning. After he survived that, any storm was traumatic. When the barometer went down he'd cower under furniture. He may have has PTSD? I babysat a cat that cryed tears of joy at being p... |
