I went home feeling a little bit spooked, had a cup of tea and went to bed. My little dog at the time curled up to go to sleep on the floor next to my bed and I started to drift off to sleep.
Suddenly the furry muppet was in the hallway barking and I was wide awake with my heart pounding in my chest. Initially I was going to employ the universal defense against spookiness at night and hide under my covers. But The Grudge had already prepared for this. In the movie a lady is followed home by the ghostie and hides uses the cover defense, rather shockingly the spirit creeps under her bed cover and drags her to her doom. So I sat up and put the light on, small and furry returned to her bed and settled down. I waited for my heart rate to return to normal so I could go back to sleep.
Later when I had gone to sleep muppet got up and headed for the kitchen. She started another round of furious barking waking me up in a state of heart attack inducing panic. I was nearly in tears, shaking as the adrenaline surged round my body. I put the light on and crept out of bed although anyone with ears would have been able to hear my heart banging. I tip toed through the hall and into the front room, flicked on the light and saw nothing. Onwards I bravely went towards the kitchen thinking this is the bit in the horror movie where the stupid teen dies horribly.
Once at the kitchen door I flicked that light on to see something a lot like this:
Yes, my cavalier laughing her furry little socks off at the success of her scary story. I'm sure her cavalier friends all had a laugh when she told them about her clever trick!
PS, That's not Sasha laughing, it is the fabulous, wonderful Looby who I had before Star and Sasha. A dog renowned for her wicked sense of humour.
