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.

I wonder if my anti-zombie barrier will work on ghosts?

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

I also vote ghost.

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*

Fairly sure there aren't dead people hereabout. Squish did used to have an imaginary friend that hasn't been around for a while now - it could be the Return Of Harvey.

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

Just thought of something else. Supposedly, today is the day the world ends. Maybe they know something you don't.

*cue Twilight Zone music*

(I'm kidding--I don't believe that the world ends today--give it a few more years.)

That's possible. The sky is a bit grey and heavy... we'll see...

...you, too? I spent the day walking 'round London in a daze, alternately wanting to yell at people and nearly bursting into tears. When Zoe came home the first thing she did was cry on my shoulder. Lucy's been out of it all day. Cups have been dropped, computers crashed, nerves frayed...something is definitely wrong. None of us has a clue what, though. It's too deliberately malicious to be Rori....

I've found it mostly impossible to stay awake today. There is a sense of nameless dread about. Anxiety always makes me sleepy.

maggie had to FREAK OUT at the top of a tree (with nothing visible) this morning. it wasn't a bark that said 'squirrel' either.

jef said "ok, we believe you, there's something there but we can't see it!"

It is all part of their plot to make you insane. It starts with the hiding kittens, then moves on to doggy wierdness and cats lulling you into a false sense of security.

Next thing you know, they'll be running the world and you'll be their slave.

Oh wait, that already happened.

They already sleep on my bed, set my timetable and eat better food than I do! What more do they want??!!

Maybe they're running experiments on me?

Any remaining sanity you might have, a bigger litter box and the Beatles White album.
