Well the other day Mom was in the office with Yvie and Tula and Anne was in the shower when I heard something! It was definitely diabolical so I barked.
Bump Bump Bump it went
I barked quite a bit actually. Over and over I went Bark Bark Bark. I kept barking while I kept hearing the noise.
Bump Bump Bump.
Now I guess Mom thought I was barking at some dumb dog out the window. Maybe, she thought, it's that fat coonhound, or that fat old dog, or that dumb rat terrier. It was a good conclusion because I really hate all those dogs.
BUT this time it wasn't dogs I was barking at. There was something seriously wrong in the house and I needed Mom or Anne to come see immediately.
It went Bump Bump Bump.
And I went Bark Bark Bark.
Well finally Mom had the realization that I couldn't be barking at something out the window because the shades were shut - and that I wasn't really doing my "I hate you dog" bark as I was doing my "Warning! Warning" bark.
So she came out to the living room to see what was going on.
Well I kept barking, and I had my hackles up and I made my lips real flat to make it easier for me to growl right before I'd bark.
Mom asked me what was wrong and I tried to tell her by barking all the more.
Well now she knew that something was wrong and she set out to figure out what it was. And then she heard it.
Bump. Bump. Bump.
That was the insidious sound!
I barked even louder!
But then Mom just laughed because she knew what it was.
It was the door to Anne's room, and even though it was shut it was moving and bumping against the frame.
Well I tried to tell Mom I knew that - but that it must be moving because SOMEONE WHO IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE must be in her room!
Well Mom opened Anne's room and showed me that, no - no one was in there. In fact, she told me that the door was bumping by itself because of the wind - due to Anne having her windows open.
Well that made a lot of sense to me. But I told Mom I wouldn't necessarily stop my barking, because, you know. Maybe NEXT time there might be someone in there.
Bumping against that door.

Bark At Ya Later (especially if you bump that door...)
