actually if you saw a prairie dog in a tree it was a squirrel.  prairie dogs are a type of ground squirrel (Family Sciuridae), as are marmots and woodchucks.\n\nwhile it's possible that a prairie dog might be able to climb a tree, i can't imagine why they'd want to.  they're not terribly good at it, and they'd probably be more vulnerable in the tree than they would be on the ground.\n\nperhaps it was something like a yellow-bellied marmot?  i have seen marmots occasionally climb into a tree or to the top of a log pile to get a better view while protecting their home den.

I once tried to catch my girlfriends cat. It ran off towards the abandoned grain elevators by the railroad tracks, so I followed. On the catwalk between the grain elevators I saw a shadow like form that was about 10 ft. tall and about 6 ft. wide. Closer inspection revealed it to be a solid form and by no means a shadow. It was pure black, hence my originally thinking it to be a shadow. Something that size in no way could be human. It stopped as if looking at me(I was a good 20 ft away) then walked across the catwalk into the grain elevator that exploded years ago. I did the natural thing in that case, ran like hell and never looked back. I had heard ghost stories about the place but that looked nothing like a ghost to me. The memory still chills me to this day.

The Chupacabra or chupacabras is a creature resembling a living gargoyle and said to exist in parts of Latin America (mainly Mexico). The Chupacabra is also reported to have been seen by multiple eye-witnesses in Calaveras County, California. According to these reports, the creature was sighted for the first time in the early to middle 1990s, harming animals of different species.

Well, let's see here. Umm, this sounds alot like a "black cat crossing paths" thing. Best thing to do is just let it go, because it's more than likely not real.

If the dog was merely trespassing, but not a threat, then I (as a lawyer) can't think of any justification for what he did.  You're not allowed to shoot a trespasser if you're not in danger, so I don't see how he's allowed to shoot a dog.  I remember one case I read in law school where a man who killed a pet dog, intentionally and in front of the owner, was found guilty of "intentional infliction of emotional distress".  Plus he could be liable for the value of the dog.  You might be able to sue in your area's small claims court without a lawyer.  But you might want to wait to see if the police charge him, and then what happens at the criminal trial.  A verdict in the criminal case would help you in your civil case for damages.  Of course, you should consult a  lawyer for more advice appropriate to your state.

I so totally believe you --- I love this stuff and am jealous you got to witness it and not me.  I've heard of spirit guides too but if you were feeling "good" and not "scared" -- my guess whatever it was is probably still with you -- go on-line to some of these medium sites and see if you can contact them to get their input. I don't mean psychic hotline or anything - blah - I mean maybe they would know what this was that you saw.  I see like a white puff of smoke (like - not real) every so often in my home and I believe it is my father hanging out.  Of course that is what I WANT to believe soo......anyway, it isn't of this world but it doesn't scare me either - it actually warms my heart.  This stuff is exciting to me.  Let us know what you find out.  Email me if you do - I'd be interested to find out.

If everyone in the world was deaf, and the tree fell, it would still make a sound, but we just can't hear. \n\nA dog can hear things humans can't, but it doesn't mean those sounds don't exist.

Well, being Florida born and raised, My first reply would have to be a Raccoon. If I spelled it right. They will eat almost every thing. They usualy only come out at night.My second thought is that the feces and the garden thief may be 2 diff. animals. The feces with the fibers may be from an Owl or other large predatory bird that eats mice and other rodents, hence the fur or hair in the feces. Their are dogs that are known for being veg. thieves, my dog was a huge veg. thief. It may also be a Gopher tortoise which is unlikely. The coon is prob. your culprit. However, this makes for a nice lil bit of an investigation....right????  So, what ever animal it is, be happy it has brought a little more excitement into your life. Don't rule out the occasinal fox as well, they are known to visit garbage cans in down town Chicago and New York,  so are the coons.

Funny you should mention that, I had an encounter just this evening. No kidding, it really scared the cr4p out of me. I am due to have my home investigated by a paranormal team this coming weekend and they did warn me that the activity here would probably increase 10 fold. It sure has done that in the past week or so.\nThis is only the second time I have seen a shadow figure in my home and I am sure it won't be the last either.\n\nWhy do you ask this question. Email me if you wanna talk ok?

Im not sure but I believe that there is something cryptid out there. Why don't you hang a camera somewhere you might be finding it to record or capture the beast's picture?

Not if the dog was not on a leash. I assume you have leash laws.

nope. but, did you know that in Tennesee or something, it is illegal for a cat to chase a dog up a tree? bet you didn't!

no its not legal in Texas. u can put them on light poles and trees. u can ask local stores if its alright to put them in the stores window. another thing is to go to your local radio station and ask them to put his dog type on the air to see if anyone has seen him.

My dogs love the Christmas tree, I've resorted to putting things in front of the tree so that they can't get to the tree, this might help, or just make a lot of noice to spook the dog away from the tree, doing some of this will make the dog less likely to bother the tree.

When I was 3 years old I saw an object in my front yard very early in the morning before anybody in the neighborhood ever got up. It was about the size of a soccer ball and was shiny gold  in color. It was pulsing up and down about a foot each time. I remember this like it was yesterday (I am now 63 years old). I told my mom about it and when she came to look it shot up in the air at blistering speed and she never got to see it. It came back two more times but she never saw it. It never made a sound. This happened back in 1946 and I will never forget it. I saw another one when I was 19 years old it was at midnight and it flew over my house. It looked like it was on fire. It never made a noise either. Nobody was around at the time so I could show them. I had just got back from a date and everybody was in bed. This is my experience with UFO's.

If you are talking about the 'chupacabra' killed by rancher Reggie Lagow near Coleman, Texas in August of 2005, then it is definitely not an elaborate hoax.  It is in fact a dead coyote that had lost all of its hair to mange.\n\nNothing elaborate about that hoax.\n\nHere's a picture of the alleged chupacabra:\n\nhttp://www.itexto.net/freako/chupacabra.jpg\n\nTexas wildlife officials have confirmed that it is in fact, just a coyote (Canis latrans).

No its not the grim reaper, its not the devil's right hand man....it is actually a vampire. I never used to believe in them....and personaly I thnk the whole blood sucking thing to get energy is very very sick! However about a year ago I was letting my dog outside and I saw it, the same exact image you are talking about! The black robe, long fingernails, VERY pale skin. I ran inside....when I first let my dog out he was about 150ft away staring at me, when I ran inside and peered out the window he was right there face up against it, whispering my name! FREAKY....my dog the whole time this "vampire" was near my window, was silent, and laying down at the end of the steps. I told this "vampire" to go away and wierd enough it did! Didnt harm me or the dog! Myth says a vampire can NOT come into your house without an invintaion, so if I were you I would NOT open that window outta curiousity and invite it in! So yeah Ive seen it and am afraid, well not afraid just a lil freaked out at that time....the really wierd thing is that my dog was so calm and didnt care....or that the vampire didnt touch my poor poochie...lol Everyonce in a while I see the same figure, same face outside my kitchen window...or staring at my house from a distance....
