Dan, Aaron, the animals you guys describe as not paying any attention to your presence,........sounds a little the symptoms of rabies.

My dad always said that if you see an animal that seemed to be in a daze or oblivious to your presence........that it could be rabies.

A few times in my youth I remember seeing dogs(sometimes cats, too) rapidly trotting up or down the road near my home.

Dad would shout at them or call to them........if they looked around or responded in any way, he figured they were probably rabies free.

We haven't had any outbreaks of the disease in years(that I know of)

just something I remember from when I was a kid.........Funny, I hadn't thought about that in years........
