While I ordinarily have no superstitous feelings at all, when my dog raced after a rabbit and dragged me off the porch last year, I had a strange premonition in mid air that it was going to hurt when I hit the concrete driveway.

I was right. $486 and some stitches later I was OK.


My dog? She wagged her tail and grinned at me. She does wish I would be more helpful than hindrance when she wants to catch little critters.

Now that I know my premonitions can come true, I'm hoping for one that I've won the lottery, but I could probably help the process by buying a ticket.
