This is a story about something I saw that others were not able to see. My husband and I were getting ready to leave for work in the morning. At that time we had three dogs -- two Chihuahuas and a boxer mix named Max who was not friendly to outside animals. As we both stood at the back door leading to the yard, I was stunned to see Max running alongside a beautiful large black dog. They seemed to be happy running together, and neither of my other two dogs were barking (the male Chihuahua never stops barking if he sees anything he's not used to).

So I turned to my husband and said in amazement, "How did that dog get in the yard inside our fence, and how come Max didn't run him off?." My husband looked at me like I was crazy and asked, "What dog?" I was looking and pointing at the dog smack in the middle of our yard, but he couldn't see it. It wasn't hidden or anything, since it was in the middle of an open grassy area.

No matter how much I think of that day, I still can't understand what it meant, but I know what I saw. It was there.
