hmmm…..
My dog went ballistic last night – she started barking like crazy; which is pretty unusual for her. She will usually bark when someone comes to the door, or when she spies someone out taking a walk on our street, or when she sees a squirrel scampering across the yard. But barking inside at nothing at all is not her style.
All evening long she would go to the hallway and bark continuously. I was beginning to wonder if she had seen a ghost. Maybe some apparition had escaped into our house. Finally she calmed down and we were able to go to sleep. Then, in the middle of the night, she started up again. It kind of spooked me out; but when I checked all the outside doors and found that no one was there, I relaxed and went back to sleep.
This morning she started all over again. Anxious and barking, I couldn’t figure out what was wrong. Then I opened the closed door to my back bedroom. And there was the answer, a stray black and white spotted cat sat proudly on the day bed. It startled me, then I had to chuckle. The cat must have sneaked into the bedroom when I had the sliding glass door open to the back yard for my puppy to go out and play. I had a visitor and didn’t know it.
That happens, doesn’t it? We are met with a problem and don’t even know it is there. We are puzzled by a dilemma and something simple explains away the crisis. We think we are alone, but we are not. Life has its twists and turns and we are there to discover them, not necessarily as quickly as we would like. Eventually the answers come -- as soon as we open the door and walk in.
hmmm…..
