he he. a dog thread with a difference. started by a dog lover/owner. no mention of poo, leads, jumping up or children. there's a dog, somewhere in my village, (don't know where, wish I did) that's been waking me up, most mornings, for the last 2 months, between 6 and 7 am. I've been known, in a fit of rage, to get myself out of bed, pull my jeans and a coat on (with nightie still on) and venture out to try and find the thing, but it shut up before I could track it down. What am I meant to do? I can't go round the village accusing asking other dog owners if they've heard it...and, tbh, I know very few non-dog owners who I could ask without seeming to accuse.
I really don't understand why it's happening. I'm 99 per cent certain it's the bark of a dog who's been let out into the garden, on its own, and is barking to be let in. ie it's a situation that can be avoided by taking the thing for a walk/not leaving it alone.
what's a girl to do? I'm hoping it will be a bit like my grandfather clock, and my body will just acclimatise to it and not wake up. that would be nice.
