Not long after hubby and I went to bed Saturday night, Rilee became restless. After listening to her run up and down the dog ramp jumping on and off the bed several times I finally got up to take her outside.
It was probably between 2-3 am. The sky was starless; I couldn't see much past the light at the backdoor. Venturing out into the yard, Rilee suddenly stopped. We stood still and as I listened I heard something moving around in the woods. Rilee heard it too, and from her body language I wondered if she could see "it".
All of the sudden Rilee perked up and made a b-line for the backdoor. If she had to go potty, she decided that she'd do that later... she just wanted back in the house and in a hurry.
I have no idea what was moving around... a deer?, a fox?, a raccoon?, a skunk? Maybe it was a lion, tiger or bear... oh my! What I do know is Rilee is not much of a "guard dog".
Rilee is still a puppy, not much courage yet. She must have known something was out there in the dark that she didn't want to deal with. She must have known mommy wouldn't want to either so let's get back inside!!!
