When Dogs Hear Things
What happens when there’s an unaccounted for sound in my house:
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:

A dead palm frond has fallen off the tree.
You go get ‘em girl, you show that palm frond who’s boss! You’re the dog! You’re the one in charge! Alpha Dog! Alpha Dog! Hoo-rah!!!!!!

Wake me when a real problem comes up.

My Callie dog can top that. She gets all riled up (*snort* Oh, I get it!) at least three times a day at….
Wait for it…
NOTHING.
Absolutely nothing.
Hmm… our cat just sleeps all day. Do you think that’s normal?
Looks like that hydrangea has really put him to sleep. (Are you sure it isn’t really a poppy?)
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.
