A girl needs a gun(dog) these days on account of all the rattlesnakes
There's something weird in the air today. Afternoon dog walk - Spike kept barking randomly at nothing and walking round with his hackles raised. I could hear some of the neighbour dogs doing it too.
Early evening dog walk after the first half of supper just now (dog supper is in two instalments now, because Squish expects feeding at eight and Spike can't eat during kitten zoomies and I don't like to feed just one dog - so I split it, and if Spike's too busy at eight he just gets twice as much at midnight).
Squish found something in the long grass. I don't know what it was - I could tell it wasn't a cat and he was too interested for it to be a grasshopper. Spike caught his interest (Spotted McBird-Dog always spots things first) and we all went to check it out. We got to the spot they were pointing at and - nothing. They lost interest when we got there. We went back to the path.
When we got to the short grass by the houses Squish started barking at a wall. Angry guard dog barking. Squish. Never. Does. That. He barks to back Spike up when Spike decides it's necessary, or he might yap at squirrels or free range cats in excitement but he's never done angrybark at something on his own initiative. Spike was as baffled as I was, because once again there was nothing there.
The cats have been quiet today. Too quiet. Way, way, way too quiet. They've done just enough climbing and leaping on things that I can see they're not sick, but apart from Shona slashing hell out of my leg while I was eating breakfast (blood running down my shins - damn cat!) there's been nothing.
Creeeeeeeeeepy.

Anyway, Spike will protect me. If he can take his eyes off the cats long enough...

The neighbor's dog acts like that at times, and since we are living near an ancient Indian burial ground (the bones were dug up on the playground nearby--they moved them elsewhere a little while back) it could be ghosts.
You never know...
Or they could just be insane for a brief moment or two. *shrugs*

...Or, yeah, insane. Squish has always been a little "special".

(I'm kidding--I don't believe that the world ends today--give it a few more years.)
no subject
...oh wait, that's not weird at ALL.

Next thing you know, they'll be running the world and you'll be their slave.
Oh wait, that already happened.

Maybe they're running experiments on me?
