In the dark everything seems scarier....even if you are a horse dog!
I let my horse dog Donny out before bedtime. He was strolling around the yard marking his territory.
He suddenly stops and barks frantically.
He suddenly stops and barks frantically.
I can see him barking as I yell and yell for him to come inside....All the while I am thinking:
"what if there is a person out there"
"what if Donny gets hurt by a vicious dog"
"what if he sees a coyote"
Finally, He comes back inside but obviously was shaken.... Hubs goes outside to investigate what has upset our Donny.
It was a shiny balloon which would look frightening to any dog at night. (photo taken next day)
This is a reminder of how things seem more frightening in the dark whether we are a horse dog or a human!

Poor dog. I used to have a cat that was TERRIFIED of those mylar balloons!
Oh, poor Donny! Lol. My dog is afraid of garbage bags! She freaks out every time we take the trash out!
I am such a wimp about the dark, i would not be out there alone. poor Donny, i know how he felt. this is one chicken little that does not like dark. that scary balloon might have made me bark. LOL
Awww! lol My cat is afraid of everything. Birds scare him.
Disco is the same way - if anything is out of place he doesn't like it at all and barks barks and barks!
How funny!!!! Well, maybe it was leaking a bit of air and blowing around. In the dark it would seem to be alive! I probably would have thought it was an animal of some sort.
Our dog does the same thing whenever he see something different at night! Drives him nuts.
Sounds or unexpected objects can make my heart beat faster. While housesitting I have company at night by one of the housecats. If there a sound (unfamiliar to me)and the cat doesn't even lift an ear - then I deemed it a natural sound at this place
Poor Donny. Glad he had you both as back up (protection).
Poor Horse!
As for me? I have night lights in every room of the house. lol
I'm afraid of the dark so yes, everything does look scarier then!
PHEW!!!! I was scared just reading your post! Thank God it was just a balloon! Your Dog is so cute!
Blessings, Joanne
Nice wake up call.
Thanks Nicole
So true Kim! In darkness everything looks scare until we are certain about.
agree with you 100% .. i have experienced it!!
Things are scary at night. I always close up my drapes so I can't see out. LOL, I am a sissy.
Glad to hear it was only a balloon.
I agree, things seem much scarier in the dark. Poor Donny!
Ha ha! Thanks for the laugh!
Poor guy. I've had a couple scares with balons myself. You wake up in the middle of the night and you're like what is that!! lol
Yes they sure do! When I first moved to my new place I thought I had a peeping tom. It turned out that the 'deer' like to look in my patio doors.. a LOT! :-) What a surprise and relief that was! lol
Very glad you dog (the size of a horse) is OK!
You've managed to write in a few sentences ..a mystery story!
Yes, everything in the dark could frighten both humans and animals.
