What was that? My Doggy Sense tells me something is going on outside!

Bark bark bark bark!!!
Growl… growl…
Woof!

Me: Um, seriously, dog—you need to stop.

And why am I so cold to her finely attuned senses? Well, let’s see. Her Name is Rio went a little berserk just today, barking and growling, until I finally opened the door to the backyard. She ran out and started barking at this:

  • Haha, so cute. Our dog used to do that all the time. Noise outside, ears perk up. I myself rarely felt the need to investigate.
