ok, come on, i don't mean to be a downer her, but who actually believes she really talked to her dog? i am pretty open minded but this seems to be too"Out there" i feel very disappointed at this point i liked the book a lot and then this? how does one talk to a dog? a dog can't physically speak.

Well, it did say clearly that she fell asleep, and so she was obviously dreaming. And whether Heathcliffe really said all that or not, it was still channeled to her in one way or another, so it's all the same. Some Master must have taken on the appearance of the dog for that special purpose.

I'm at that part too, Gorgeous Butterfly.

I haven't read Gooberz for a few months actually because I was busy digesting the bits I'd read. But I like the dog part, haven't you ever communed with an animal? OK dogs don't use words but I have often felt that sense of connection with many dogs over the years. Often they know when you're sad for example and they stay close and touchy-feely, and they look, well concerned. They just know. I miss the dogs I have known and loved so intensely, if they have died, their character and personality. Each one is unique.

My 20 year old cat died, I was really bereft. My friend's greyhound knew I was sad, and she was normally a very aloof creature, very elegant, unsocial and self-contained. She came and lay down beside me on the carpet and we were spooning, her in front. She never did anything like that again. But it helped me and I think she knew.

My friend's dog died and I miss him, but he follows me around in my dreams, at my heel. He's there.

There is a language between dogs and humans, it's an unwritten and unspoken language for sure but it's there. Dogs and humans are tight.

I think that was what Linda was trying to convey. Arf arf! I think she must have really loved that dog, and was wondering, if Heathcliffe could speak, what would he say to me? What would his voice sound like? What spin would he give on this experience of hers, given his personality? It's nice to read about him and how he was with her. He is a character in a book and she is a writer. Artistic license, not to be taken literally (or was it???.....)
